Rhode Island American And Providence Gazette

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

An arrival at Charleston, S. C. on the 9th inst. from Kingston, (Jamaica,) brought papers of that city inclusive of the 19th ult. One dated the 10th Aug. states that the Harlequin Sloop of War arrived at Port Royal the Thursday previous, from Chagres, with Mr. Dawkins, the British Commissioner to Panama. The Congress broke up July 23. Every thing was quiet by the last accounts, received at Chagres from Panama, although several respectable individuals had been imprisoned, and martial law proclaimed and continued for 5 days in consequence of false rumours of an intended insurrection. Those imprisoned had been liberated.

Another paper dated Aug. 12, states that the Liberator Bolivar would, without any doubt, be in Colombia in all that month.

The Baltimore Patriot, of Sept. 20th, contains intelligence from Vera Cruz brought to that port the evening before by the Schr. Blucher, 22 days out. The Congress of Panama on the 15th of July concluded a treaty of alliance and perpetual amity between the republics represented in it, with other arrangements the precise character of which has not yet transpired. Tacubaya, a town in Mexico, is the place to which that Congress adjourned and Aug. 24th the day appointed for the departure of those who were to meet there. A letter from the Mexican legation, (Jose Maria Michelena, and Jose Dominguez) to the minister of State and of Interior and Foreign Affairs, dated Acapulco Aug. 15 mentions the above treaty and says that His Excellency, Don Pedro Gaul, minister from Colombia was to depart from Acapulco for Mexico, in 3 days. Don Anthony Larrazabal, Minister from Central America, who accompanied them was also to proceed to Mexico. Don Manuel Tudela, Minister for Peru, Secretary of the legation from Colombia, and Central America, would also depart for Mexico, on his arrival at Acapulco, where he was expected in a few days. The "Astro de La America," a daily paper published at Vera Cruz, contains the letter above referred to. That paper has an elegant and appropriate compliment to the memory of Washington and through it to the United States by adopting for its vignette, a radiated star, the centre of which is formed by the name of Washington, printed in a circle, and each of the eight angles of the radii, contains a letter, which, collectively, spell the word Liberal.

Nothing is said in the Government Extraordinary Gazette (which was transmitted to Vera Cruz by express) of the delegation from the United States.

The state of commerce is represented as deplorable; two years' stock of goods in the market, and no money to pay for them. The mines unproductive, and many of those engaged by foreign Companies abandoned.

Commodore Porter had taken command of the Mexican Navy, which is in a dismantled and inefficient state, without officers and men sufficient to man one frigate properly.

When the Blucher left, Vera Cruz was quite healthy; no instance of fever having occurred for six weeks previous to her departure.

The Baltimore American contains some further intelligence received by the Blucher :—

A convoy of two millions of dollars had arrived at Vera Cruz from the city of Mexico, one million and a half of which was embarked on board of the British frigate Hussar, to be transmitted to England on account of the interest on the Mexican loan. The British minister was to take passage in the Hussar.

Note.—By a private letter of the 15th of last month from the city of Mexico we have the following:

For Colombia.—Senor Gaul, who left Acapulco on the 16th inst. for Mexico. Senor Brizono returned to his government with the treaties.

For Peru.—Senor Tudela, who will arrive at Acapulco in 8 or 10 days. Senor Vidaurre returned to his government with the treaties.

For Guatemala.—Senor Larrazabal, who comes with our Plenipotentiaries. Senor Molina returned with the treaties.

For Holland.—The minister will come by way of Vera Cruz.

For England.—The minister will not arrive until November.

Chilian Squadron, &c.—A letter from Peru, of the 1st June, addressed to the Commandant of Marine at Vera Cruz, from a most respectable source, states positively, that the whole of the Chilian Squadron had gone into the service of Buenos Ayres, to assist the government in the war with Brazil, and that all the Colombian Sailors in the Pacific had determined to join the squadrons of La Plata in defence of the Republican cause.
