The peculiar interest excited by 
every thing that bears reference to, or 
is connected with Africa, will very 
shortly he augmented by the publica- 
tion of a volume, translated from ori- 
ginal official documents, formerly de- 
posited in the Spanish archives, treat- 
ing of Spanish America, and specially 
collected by order of that government ; 
from whence it will be established be- 
yond a possibility of doubt, that if 
America was not actually peopled from 
the old Continent, there must have 
existed a communication between its 
inhabitants and the Carthaginians, 
Phoenicians, or some other ancient na- 
tions, as the remains of a city of vast 
extent are still standing in Mexico, 
comprising monumental vestiges, hie- 
roglyphics, and sculptured figures, in 
sufficient preservation to warrant such 
a conclusion. The work thus an- 
nounced will not only be interesting 
considered in a literary point of view, 
but carry with it the stamp of authen- 
ticity, on account of its many curious 
pictorial embellishments, accurately 
copied from several of the reliques.

of being preserved, and which in after- 
ages will mark the year 1822, and 
characterize the age of George the 
Fourth, we have judged it proper to 
annex, in parallel columns, the never- 
to-be-forgotten abjuration of Galileo. 
Every reader of the two papers will, 
by his own comments, relieve us from 
the responsibility of making such as 
the circumstances deserve :—
