Colombia — Papers to the 6th of June have been re- 

 eived from Bajrota. According; to these the govcrn- 

 ;ent of Colombia is making; preparations to repel any 

 uvasion of their country, by Spain. In arlJition to fire 

 egular force of the country, 50,000 militia were ordcr- 

 d to be levied and disciplined for the field. 



The latest accounts from Peru are to the end of 

 ilarch. Bolivar was concentrating; a strong; force in 

 Trujillo. Three thousand troops had arrived from Pa 

 lama and Guayaquill, and the Colombian Congress 

 ad decreed an additional reintbrcement of 9000 men 



appears by a proclamation of Bolivar, that the Peru 



ans were jealous of the Colombian troops, sent for their 

 rotection, and considered their object to be the usur- 

 lation of their country. This he pronounces to be iin- 

 ust ; and that having; liberated their country, " he 

 rill return to Colombia with his brother soldiers, \?ith- 

 ut carrying; even a g;rain of sand from Peru— leaving 

 ticm their liberty." He regrets that the Peruvian 

 'ongress deemed it necessary to confer on him the odi- 

 us authority of Dictator ; and that nothing but the 

 reservation of Peru, whose fate is so closely united 



th that of Colombia, could have induced him to ac- 

 ept what would have been treason, both to Colombia 

 ud Peru to have refused. 



From Ike Pacific. — Commodore Hull has received a 

 tter from several American Captains of vessels, dat- 

 i Calao, March 1, 1824, giving an account of a muti- 

 y by which the port was restored to the Spanish 

 ', and of the depredations of an unlicenced soldiery 



»r twenty five days on their property, and expressing 

 eir expectation of the Commodore's presence there 

 represent them on the shore with the Spanish Chiefs, 

 ,d to protect them against the Peruvian Admiral 

 inise, who had treated them with outrage and insult. 

 hey mention that from the firing of Admiral Guise 

 ion their vessels, the China, one of the American 

 ips, was in a sinking condition from a 24 pound shot 

 ""ich entered her below the water line, and before 



: 



e could be righted so as to stop the leak, a great 

 irtion of her cargo was damaged, and perhaps ruined. 

 B has detained, under his guns, the ship Providence, 

 id the brig Herald, bccanae they Cied on I>fsr bc^wi*, 

 en they came along side in the night, and refused to 

 iswer, when hailed. 



K'They add, " we have a large amount of .\merican 

 Bperty at stake, and we trust that you will come to 

 ur relief as soon as possible. Our cargoes for the 

 09t part are perishable, and we think we have a right 

 land them after having come so far to this our only 

 arket on this coast, and from the circumstance of 

 ring commenced discharging, while Callao was nn- 

 r the Patriot flag. This, Admiral Guise will not 

 rmit us lo do, and we are most anxiously waiting 

 r your presence, under the belief that our rights will 

 protected."

Ttit Author af ^''Finga!. — A dinner was given in 

 ;w York, on the 15th inst. to the venerable Judge 

 'umliull, of Connecticut, author of the standard po- 

 1, M'Fiiigal. It was attended by the most eminent 

 erary ted scientific characters in that metropolis, 

 long whom were Chancellor Kent, Dr. Mitchell, 

 dges l.-.-lug, Edwards, und Van Ness; Generals 

 orton r.nd .-JT.ift; Colonels Gibbs, Pinkncy, Alston, 



S. C. and Hp.ines ; Messrs. Gracie, Johnson, Catlin, 

 ntard, Sedgwick, Selden, Sampson, Hallock, J. Coo- 

 r, Verplank, Carter, Bleecher, A. Smith and Law- 

 ire. A number of patriotic, sentimental and hutnor- 

 s toasts were drank, and the whole proceedings cx- 

 oited proof that a poet's honours in the United 

 utes are not of necessity posthumous. 



Grand Canal.— There are calculated to be upwards 

 twelve hundred crafts employed on the New York 



inal. . 



From the Counlry .—'■'■ 'VVe have had an excellent 

 y season. One farmer within my knowledge, has got 

 o his barn 1 10 tons of hay which was not wet bv a 

 5p of rain. The vines sutler fro.-E the dry spell, hut

 ' In all our fields," says a Salem, N. J. paper, " we 



hear not a murmur either about the worm or fly— the 

 blast or mildew. Frequent and plentiful showers make 

 the grass to grow, and the cattle to wax fat. Heallh 

 and plenty arc in our land. And, O Lord, for all this 

 goodness let us praise thic." 



A friend called the other day to mention a curious 

 instance of combustion which took place in the hub of 

 a cart wheel. The wheel was boxed, but the axle 

 tree was not strained ; it was newly tarred and went 

 with a moderate load from Sirasbury to W'etaug, six 



miles. It returned empty and was placed in asheil. 



A fire was discovered from it the next morning, and Jhe 

 wheel and part of the cart body was burned. The 

 barn and house of the owner narrowly escaped. The 

 fire must have originated from the friction of the 

 wheels having set fire to the tar. — Conn. Mirror. 



Rogufs Caught.— On the night of the 16th inst. sev- 

 eral articles of wearing apparel were stolen from (he 

 yard of Paul VVhitin, Esq. in Northbridge, and on the 

 next morning, the tracks of the naked feet were dis- 

 covered leading from the yard, and were followed to 

 this place, where they were lost, and no farther discov- 

 ery was made at that time. But subsequently having 

 heard that three negroes had been at Uxbridge on the 

 evening of the 16th, enquiring the way to Worcester 

 and Brookfield, Col. VVhitin was induced to renew his 

 pursuit on the I9th. By enquiry he found that three 

 persons, answering the description of those suspected, 

 had passed the Sabbath in this town, dressed apparent- 

 ly in the very clothing taken from his yard, and that 

 they had left the next morning on their way westward, 

 whither he pursued and took them in Leicester, with 

 the property which he had lost, in their possession. — 

 Several other articles, supposed to have been stolen, 

 were also found with them. 



It has been reported that a sailor was knocked down 

 and robbed by three blacks, in Smithfield, last week. 

 If so, it is not unlikely that the outrage was committed 

 by the persons who are now in custody Spy. 



Look out for Rogues.— On Saturday night an at- 

 tempt was made to rob the Silversmith's shop of Mr. 

 Goodwin, kept in the second building of (he Phcunix 

 Bank in this city. The thieves cuccecrtod in cutliug- 

 through the wooden shutters, and in breaking a pane of 

 glass they awoke a couple of boys who slept in the 

 shop. Not knowing the cause of the noise they railed 

 out, when the thieves made off with one or two shew 

 watches, which were found the next morning thrown 

 into the State House yard. — Conn. Courant. 



From J^ew Orleans — The steam ship Robert Fulton 

 brought New Orleans papers of the 1st inst. The wa- 

 ters in the upper part of the Mississippi were rapidly 

 rising at the last accounts. The Missouri, above its 

 junction with the Mississippi, was five feet higher than 

 ever before known. At St. Louis it was nine inches 

 higher than last year, and still swelling. Rain had 

 fallen continually for 10 days, and a great portion of 



the State of Illinois was reported to be inundated. 



The Ohio was also on the rise. There was serious 

 alarm at Natches and New Orleans, as the rising had 

 commenced at the former place.

Erratum. — In our last paper, in giving an account of 

 the pedigree of the Herefordshire heifer, presented by 

 Sir Isaac Coffin to the Massachusetts Agricultural So- 

 ciety, in page 408, column 1st, line 27th, the following 

 sentence occurs : 



"The Herefordshire Heifer is also from Waxey out of 

 Stately— Stately out of Tidy, daughter of .Mad Cap, 

 which was considered the best cow in England, and 

 the least bone, weighing eighteen score onrf a quar-
