So it appears that "the long agony is not over;" and Spain cannot yet "rejoice," in having fully chained the people of Mexico.

It further appears by letters received from some of those who joined the expedition under Mina, that though all were killed-by a Spanish official, many survive, and are in arms fighting for liberty.

On the 5th of April, 1818, in the plains of Maipu, was fought this ever memorable action the consequences of which are incalculable.

Letters from China state a circumstance of much interest. A serious misunderstanding has arisen between the Chinese authorities and the British traders, respecting reported smuggling by the country ships.

Specie.-From certain arrangements recently adopted, it is to be presumed that in lieu of specie dollars we shall have a currency consisting of five franc pieces and French crowns. This will be very inconvenient, as almost all the dealings between individuals are regulated by dollars and their parts; but let us have any thing rather than the filthy paper trash that abounds, as one dollar notes.

DAYS OF OLD. A New York paper says-the townships of Dartmouth, Westport, New-Bedford, Freetown, and Fairhaven, composing one tract, were purchased by gov. Bradford and his associates in 1654 of Wasemequin; and Wamsutta his son, for the following consideration;-30 yards of cloth, 8 moose skins, 14 axes, 15 hoes, 15 pair of breeches, 8 blankets, 2 kettles, 1 cloak, 2lbs. of wampum, 8 pair of shoes, iron pot, and 10 shillings in other commodities.

"Mitchell, I love you." From the commencement of the American revolution to the end of it, he was either a soldier or an officer in active service against the British or Indians. Twenty seven different times he fought the Indians, and how often he fought the British he could not recollect. He was twenty three or twenty four years a representive in the state legislature, and twice elected an elector of president and vice president.

The English language!-A member of the quorum in Cumberland, who was the very mouth-piece of eloquence in his country, when he went up to London, inquired at a shoe-maker's shop in Cranbourn alley, if he could meet with a pair of small shoes for his little girl in the country with pink heels, pointed toes, and crop traps for clasps, which he expressed in the following provincial dialect:

"I pray ye noo, hae ye gatten any neatly, feetly shoen, pointed toen, pinked at heel, and cropped strops for clopses?"

"Sir," answered the shopkeeper, "what's that you say."

"Why I pray ye noo," [repeats as before]

"The family who speak French," said the shoemaker, "live at the next door."

Natural Curiosities.-The ship Foster, from Londenderry, has on board a Hog weighing fifteen hundred pounds.

Gentlemen of honor!-The Sackett's Gazette of the 16th inst. mentions that on the preceding Saturday, James Hany, and Malaki P. Varian, corporals in the 2d. reg. U. S. infantry at Madison Barracks, agreed to fight each other with muskets. In the afternoon, with their muskets loaded, and accompanied by two sergeants, John Loper, and Francis Powley, "they walked side by side, apparently in good humor, to the bank of the lake adjoining the barracks; then turned back to back, marched five or six paces each, and at the word "ready" wheeled, and Hany discharged his piece, loaded with powder and ball; the contents of which passed through the heart of Varian, who fell and instantly expired."

stitution became the subject of conversation. One gentleman observed, that they were so naturally inclined to monarchy, that half a dozen English gentlemen could not meet together at dinner without appointing a chairman or sovereign. "It is very true," said Thomas Paine; "but if those half dozen were to dine together every day, and had among them only one bottle of wine, and their chairman took a pint of it to himself, then they would either take the office by rotation, or contrive to do without it."

The city council sentence: five of them, consisting of a bishop and four ministers, to one month's imprisonment, or to give security to leave the state. Eight other ministers were also sentenced, separately, to receive ten lashes, or pay a fine each of five dollars.

Steam boats.-Three steam boats have been lost in five months,in the Mississippi, in consequence of running foul of great trunks of trees called "saw. yers." Will not the increased navigation of this mighty stream soon justify an attempt to clear it of such serious incumbrances-or, is it practica

The act of the British parliament of 27th June, 1805, consolidating the former acts on the subject, admits into the West Indian ports a variety of articles, wool, cotton, tobacco, specie, &c. &c. the produce of any colony or country in America "belonging to or under the dominion of any foreign European sovereign or state," in any foreign singledecked vessel, “being owned and navigated by persons inhabiting any of the said colonies or plantations in America, or countries on the continent of America, belonging to, or under the dominion of any foreign European sovereign or state." The privilege of re-exportation of all imported articles except naval stores, and of exporting rum, is granted in the same act in the same terms, to the complete exclusion of vessels of the United States, in all cases, from that trade.
