In transniitt , ug to the House of Rept inieniatives the do commits called fur by the resolution of that House of the 80111 Jatilillry, I consider it ms duty to invite the attention of Cents: ess to a very impoi tam subject, and to commu nicate the sentiments of the Exeentive on it, that ahoohl Cusigress en tot min sentiments, thine may be Snell co-operation betweeli the tan Departments of the tio. verntnent, as their respective rights and ditties may re quire. The revolutionary movement in the Spanish Provinces in this lomispliere, attracted the attention. and excited the sympathy of our fellow citizens, from its commence ment. This feeling was natural and bottom able to theta, from causes which need not be co iiiii tuideated to you. It has been gratifying to all to see the general acquieacenee which has been manifested, in the policy which the con &tinned anthoritica have deemed proper to porsne, in le gate, to this contest. As soon as the movement HAS ttttt ed 'melt a Measly and consistent (Olin as to intake the success of the Provinces probable, the rights to which they were entitled by the law of stations, as eipial parts to a civil war, were extended to them. Each party was permitted to enter our ports with its public and private ships, and to take from them every article which was the subject 01 COII4IIIO ce with other nations. Our citizens also carried min cuininsace with both parties, and the goverhineiit has protected it, with cacti, in articles not contraband of war. the whole of this contest, the United States have 'enmitied neutral, and have fulfilled, aith the mutual 11111141 nobly, all the obli4ation. Melds ni to that character. This contest has now reached such a stage, amid been attended with such decisive stiecess on the part of the Provinces, that it meths the most profound cousideration whether their tight to the rank of iodepeodent nations, all the advaiit - i;es incident to it, in their intercourse 'with the Voile(' States, is not complete. Itnenos Ayres assumed the rank by a formal declaration in 1616, anti has enjoyed it since 1510, free front invasion by the parent terimitry.

Chili declared indepentielice in 1818, and has since enjoyed it undisturbed ; and °E late, b e y the assistance of Chili and liiiesios Ayres, the revolti tom has evendeil to Peru. Of the movement in Mexico Our information is less authentic ; but it is, nevertheless, ciistinetly lohletstood, that the new governmen: has de. clai rd its tiollienilent e, and that that c' is now uu opposi tion to it Melt , nor a force to make any. Fur the last %Ince yt ma the got ea ment of Spain has not sent a single evrps ii item• to any part of that country; nor is there 1 ta , Vii 10 Ii irve al with sen d any in till use. Thus it is seamiest that ail those provinces are only in the foil en• jeymeut of their MM. pen fence, but considering the state ,it the war, and other eiteanustauces, that there is nut the most remote propect in their hi iug declared of it.

Washington, March 8, 18.22. (Front the New York Gazette of March 15.) FROM Rio DE JANEIRO.—The Norfolk Herald of Monti .y, 1511 s inst. received yesterday, in antici pation of the regular mail, contains late intelligence from Rio, communicated by Captain Small, of the brig Eliza The United States ship Franklin, Capt. Stewart, and schooner Dolphin, Lieut.-Commauder Connor, sailed about the 25th of December fin Valparaiso. Considerable agitation had prevailed at Rio, but had rather subsided when Captain S. sailed. The disepsiet originated in consequence of an order from the King and Cortes at Lisbon to the Prince at Rio, instructing him to prepare to return home in a ship which would be sent for him, and to bring home also most of the men of war which were there in depot. The inhabitants tinily expecting a large reinforcement of troops from Portugal, and knowing that in the event of the navy being withdrawn, their navy-yard and arsenal would be broken up, and they subjected to a system of military govern ment, sent in a petition to the Prince, couched in very humble and respectful terms, requesting him to remain with them, They hesitsted not to avow their apprehensions, should the order of the King and and Cortes be observed, and went on to show the great probability of their being realised. The Prince, who is smell beloved by the populace, replied to the petitioners, that he would represent to the King and Cortes the object of their wishes, and would remain until an answer could be received. The answer of the Prince to the inhabitants was calculated by no means to meet the approbation cf the commanding General of the troops, whose powers, had the Prince left Rio, would have been unlimited. But ambitions men, especially officers, are not to be stopped in their march on the high road to distinc tion. The commanding General collected the Por tuguese officers and most of the troops, and after stating to them his object, which they acceded to, they marched to Signal-hill, on the night betwee n Jan. 13 and 14, and came to the determination to adopt measures to force the Prince to proceed to Lisbon. The troops embodied on the occasion amounted to about 1300. The Prince, next morn ing, on hearing of the conduct of the General and troops, expressed his astonishment, but declared, in firm and spirited terms, that he would head the native trosps, and resist by force of arms any plan that might be conc.rtett by the Ciovernment troops to prevent him from complying with his promise to the inhabitants. The general, on the morning after possessing himself of Signal-hill, could easily have destroyed the whole city in a little time; and the inhabitants who were much alarmed under an apprehension that such would be the case, kept their shops and offices closest the whole day—not one was open. The streets were paroled by horsemen in full speed, calling upon the inhabitants to arm and juin the l'rince ; and the inhabitants turning out and de claring that the Portuguese troops should go to Portugal instead of their Prince. Betore six o'clock the Prince had collected a force of native troops and inhabitants of the tuwnof from 6000 to 7000. The European Portuguese seeing such a formidable number, and every minute aug menting, were compelled to capitulate on the fist los% ingterms:—That they should march from Signal Hill, with all their arms, munitions of war of all kinds, including their field and artillery pieces, whenever vessels or boats wete ready to receive them, and go over to l'rior Grande, (a small town opposite about • a league distant), and there wait uutil transports were ready to transport them direct to Portugal. The next day the article of, capitulation was carried iato effect, and the inha bitants greatly relieved from their troubles, notwith• standing they could perceive from their windows that the cannon had been so disposed by the general, in his new fortress across the river, us to point at their dwellings. The 21st Jun. was the birth-day of the. Princess. and of courseu great cour. day. Royal salutes were fired from all the forts, and from two English fri eines and-also from the Portuguese at Prior Grande. The officers from the latter went over to wait on the Princess, and of coarse to offer Ler their con gratulations, but the Prince was so exasperated at them for their latter conduct, that he would moot suffer them to enter the palace. MARKETS AT American produce very low, except flour and tar ; there had nut been an arrlval with flour for five weeks previous to that of the Timandra, and the late sales had been mado at 8000 reas; the Tiaondra immediately sold her's at 13,000 reas. The Eliza !lenity's cargo was next in market, which went oil' rather slowly, first at 13 milreals, but soon got down to 12. The prices would probably soon get down again, as there were large quantities on the way from Pernambuco and St. jalvador, where it was nominally at 7500 to 8000, and at the River Plate, it was only 6 dollars to 23 currency. Elides (Buenos Ayres) on board, 20 to 22 cents. per pound. Sugars very brisk and scarce, the new crop not having come in. Dollars 25 p...r cent. advance ; bills on London, ditto.— Since the rising of the troops all kiuds of specie had disappeared. FROM SATURDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. WHITEHALL, Arum I.

Orders, we understand, have been issued to the collector of the King's taxes to collect them with rigour; but such is the poverty of numerous house holders from the depression of trade, that if they are not allowed time, the distraining of their goods must follow, which will throw them on their respec tive parishes, and ultimately occasion an alarming falling off in the taxes. It is recommended to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to call upon the differ ent tax gatherers for information on the subject, and we are persuaded, that he will find our state ment perfectly correct. From the Constitutionel rf Sunday last, the fol lowing account is given of a dispute on the coast of France, dated Granville, 'Alarch '26, between the English oyster-boats and the French fishermen.-- " The English fishermen have the audacity to come and fish on our oyster-banks, situate between one and two leagues from this town, by which we sustain considerable damage; hitherto the fishing guard had confined themselves to threats, which the English have uniformly treated with contempt. To day they again assembled to the number of nearly 200 boats; but our fishing-guard have acted with more energy than they had heretofore displayed. After requiring, the English to retire, which they positively refused to do the guard saluted them with several discharges of cannon ; the English at last retired, but avowing their determination to return with increased numbers, and oppose three to force. It is very desirable that government should take effectual measures to prevent this sort of piracy, which is productive of incalculable injury to our town, the inhabitants of which subsist only by the vellum of the fishery." On Wednesday next P a rliament will meet, when Mr. Western is expected to name the day when he will bring forward his motion fur the reconsideration of Mr. Peel's bill, and of the whole system of mea sures which has been adopted respecting the cur rency, and have effixted 114 alteration in our standard va lue, an alteration greatly affecting teian interest, as all other classes of the community. The Drawing-room on the 23i1 inst. is expe‘,ted to he uncommonly brilliant. Splendid dresses of English manutiicture have been already ordered by many ladies of' fashion.
