:n session, nnd various Import mil topics were before them The project of a Constitution, pn - Rented l?y General llolivar, had been under consideration and afiet a short debate postponed. Mr. Z^a,.. <? a man of profound knowledge and enlarged political views, is the Vice President of the Execute e Government, and presides in the absence of Bolivar; his Speech, at the opening of the Session is said to l>e worthy of the days of Greece/'* Don J, G.

" ft seems the Amelia Island sub ject had been hro't into view in the Congress of Venezuela, aid some resolutions proposed or adot. ed (which we are not certain) after some animated debate and delibrations :? three distinct propositions were em braced m these resolutions of which We cannot give the substance as thej were hastily and orally related to us. " The first was a declaration of tlus right of every people oppressed by their rulers or conquerors, or tyrants, to shake off their tyrants and assume the common right of mankind to in stitute a government of laws framed and accepted by the people or their lepiesentatives, ^_The others relate to some affairs of Florida, &c. I' seems, however, that their plan-1 partake in some things of the ted era tive character; as they contemplati three great nations, to be connected by a delegated body of representa tives from the three great nations, who like the Amphyctions, are to exercise no functions but those dele gated to them, nor to institute any law but such as shall be previously submitted to the congresses of tin three nations. " The central nation to consist of New-Grenada, Peru, and Venezue la. The southern to consist of La Plata, Chili and Paraguay &c,? Tl ie northern natiou^?Mexico, and the Isthmus. The great executive council of the three uatjous to assem ble annually at the isthmus, and to have a |wrmiment 'establishment at the common expense?and for common benefit.

Saco, Aiay 23, 181 IK "The County of Vovk, particu larly this town Kenebunk, Buxton, & c. has long Injen in ten ted by a re ligious impostor, named Jacob Cocli tan, who pretended to have a mis* sion to spread a new religion. His process was, to gull a few men, then to seduce women, married and single, to attend his ministrations, swear them to secrecy, and then induce thenr to commit the most lascivious and. criminal practices. This con duct had become notorious; and the Grand Jury of the country, at the late term of the Superior Court, found no less than five bills of indictment against him. On one of these, for lascivious behavior he was cleared, the Jury, after being up all night, not agreeing, one of their number, a dis ciple, refusing his assent.?Hp was then tried on an indictment for aduU tery, and convicted ; but having teen admitted to bail, and not having been surrendered into Court, he hopped the twig, and has not since been heard of; leaving his surties to pay 1800 dollars, lie has thus probably es caped a three years visit to the State Prison. Jacob Cochran is about 35 i^eara old, common size, well built, ight completion, rather sandy hair dresses well, and has the manners of a half gentleman."
