Domestic . BOSTOV, SEPTEMBER 7 It is announced fmm several quar ter, though we know not on what authority, that the 43th parallel of latitude lias been determined, by the commissioners for settling northern boundary of the United States to run ?om* distance south of the place .where it has been formerly reported to run : and consequently that the fortifications at House's Point on lake Champluin, on which some hundred thousand dollars have been expended by the government, besides an ex tensive tract of territory, inhabited by citizens of the United States, will faN within the jurisdiction of Lower Canada. The Centinel states.1 that the line bus fallen a mile and a half to the .southward of House's! Point. Hut the Gazette of yester-< day makes the loss to the Unitad States much more extensive t! ? u had been apprehended. It is fully as- 1 certained, says that paper, that the! boundary line between theUnited| States and Cnnada runs several de-! grees south of tlm military works at 'House's Point." We hof>e there may be some mistake in this, as a single degree would cut us oft* from half the state of Vermont, and the greater part of lake Champlain. ?? . 4- ? r ? -] >' NEW-YORK, 8EPTEMBRR 4. Declaration on th& Independence qf Teoca*. ? -The Lotiisana Herald, received this morning, contains a copy of a Declaration, issued on the 23d of June, by the Supreme Coun cil of (lie Republic of Texas. The following * extracts contain all would be interesting to tbe American reader: V - " The citizens of Texas have long indulged tbe hope that, in the ad justment of tbe boundaries of tbe Spanlfeh possessions in America, and of the United State**, they should be included within the limits of the latter. Tbe claims of the- United Stales, longhand strenuously tfrgtfl, eucouraged mis hope. An expecta tion so flattering prevented any effort to throw off tbe yoke of Spanish authority, thought it ^could not res train some unavailing rebellions against an odious tyranny. Tbe recent treaty between Spain and the V* States of America has dissipated v an illusion too long fondly cherished, and has roused the citizens of Tex* as /Vom the torpor into which a fcft* cicd security had lulled them.? They have seen themselves, by a convention to which they were no party, literally abandoned to the do % minion of the crown of Spain, and left a p*ey, not only to impositions already intolerable, but to all those exactions which Spanish- rapacity is fertile in devisiug. The citixens of Texas would have proved them selves unworthy of the age in which they liv*? unworthy of their ances trv ? of the kindred of the Republics of the American Continent? could tbay have hesitated in this emergency what course to pursue. Spurning the fetters of colonial vassa\age, dis daining to submit to the most atro cious despotism that evei disgraced the annals of Europe ? tbev have re solved, Under thfe benign rfessing of God, to be thug. By this magna nimous resolution, to the maintenance of >$l}ich their lives and fortunes are pledged, they secure to themselves an elective and representative gov ernment, equal laws and the faith* ful administration of justice, the rights of conscience and religious lib* erty, the freedom of the press, the advantages of liberal education and unrestricted commercial intercourse with all the wwrld. ? " Animated by a just confidence in the goodness of their qause, and stimulated by the high object to I* obtained l>y the content, they have prepared themselves unshrinkingly; to meet, and firmly to sustain any j conflict, in which this declaration may involve thorn. > . 44 Done at Nacogdoches, thte twenty third day of June, in the year o? our Lord I $19.

We have l>eeci favored with 'he Curacoa Courant of (he 7th of Au gust, containing the following : Accounts from Laguira since our last,', state* that official intelligence hadbeeu received there of the cap ture of Barcelona, by the Patriotic expedition of Margarita. . There were only forty men- found in the works at Barcelona when it was surrendered. It seems tliey defend ed themselves till the whole of their ammunition was expended, and were every soul afterwards put to death hy the conquerors* Goraia, who commanded at Barcelona had sent a detachment of cavalry, con sisting of 30 men and a lieutenant, to reconnoitre the eoem^ \>ho pro ceeded to the suburbs of Barcelona, without meeting any opposition; they there surprised a picket of six men and a sergeant, whom they put 1 to death before any alarm could he ?;iven. They th?n advanced' into tl^e town, and in like manner sur prised a Lieutenant (an Englishman) and ten men who were doing duty] at the quarters of General UrdnneuJ The ^Spaniards soon overpowered them, and took the Lieutenant nri-| soner, and -in onW fo secure him; properly, tied him between two of their horses., Urdaneta in the mean time, made his escape out of the house, and -gave the jilarm; when the Spaniards being obliged to re Ire nt, ga Hopped off with the unfor tunate Lieutenant, who. shocking to relate, was literally dragged to pieces. ' * We tire also informed, that Gue-; rero, who commands the Spanish! flecheras, lately captnreil a sloop from St.Eustutia, under Butch colors, and ail English * schnr. from St.; Thomas, both laden with provisions and clothing for the use of the inde pendents in Barcelona..

Puerto Cabello, which we gave U\ oi>v last, relative to an engagement having taken place between the Spittiaurds and Patriotic naval forces, turns out to be somewhat iucorrect.
