WVe received! last nighit NAewv Yorkc papers to the a2d. ult., being four days later thaii thc last paLkCt to Liverpool. They contain no additional news from Peru, hut merely republish the circular from Truxillo, announcinlg the dc- fectioll of OLANETA from the Royal cause, wlhich had been received at Guayaquil, as w'ell as a& Panaina. Much space is occupicd in the New York papers, by the details of GenIeral LAFAYETTE'S reception in the Uniitedt States. He was wvelcome(d by deputations from nearly all classes of the commaunity, andl in a very particular manner by the mem- bers of the American bar. WVc subjoin a few extracts from thc papers: " NEV SYORK, AUG. 20. " It apFears by Bogota papers to the 1st of July, that the treaty between the Governments of Colombia and Buenos-Ayrcs had iicI; ratified. The best understanding cxisted between the British agents and the Government; and, from thc whole complexion of the pa- pers, it is apparent that the la: ter cntertains no apprehensions as to the formal acknowledgment by the former of the independence of thc Republic. Every where the highest respect was uniformly cx. pressedl for the United States, and admiration of our public insti- tutions. " In order that-nothing should. bc wantisg to enable Bolivar to com)plete the important measure of' destroying royalism in Peru. the Colombian Government had decreed, independent of the ordinary taxes, an extra coniributioi, whichi was leTied on all tlte citizens, male and female, and oii the publicbodies, not even esrepling the cler- gy. Every individual had to paya quarter of adollar, and peopile of propertytlhcsaniesumactditional on e v ery t)l dlollaers, capical over 50 dol1lars. This contribution seems to have been checrfully subimitted to. A proposition was about to be laid before Congress toabolish the per. petuity of the vows of females who take the veil ; anti tO allow them, attthc end of every third or fouirthl year, to renew lhem, or re- turn to society. The Bogota papers contain a powcrful appeal on this subject to the Legislature. " The C?:ose1slon Pa&it of the 12tb i,stant mentions the ar- rival at that port of a schooner, in five dlays, from .Alatanzas, the Captain of whichi stated, that thecSpanish armed brig fifarinern, withi a crew of 8'0 men, from Cadiz fer Havannah, fell in whih the Colombian armied schooner Genteral Padilla, on the lot inst., off Salt Key Bank, zani hbotih vessels engaged1 for hlalf an holnr, wvhen the Pldilb hatauled off, andl imiicdiately afterthte Spanish brig blew up. '1'he Padilla's lboats succetied in saving :3t of the SipaniNt brig's crew, whiichi slic sent into Matanzas on the 2d inst. in a droger."
