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.

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. > .

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.. These ves
sels were sent into Cumana to he un
loaded. ami the sloop, it is said, has
?ince arrived at Puerto Cubello, and
fa uftrea fur sale tliere.'
Parti ra, an Indian chief, attach*
ed to the Spanish cause, had inter
cepted ?000 l?ead of cattle, sent by
Merino ^for the supply of Urdaneta's
army, and xhe English expedition
from Margarita, of which UrdaneU
is commander in chief, i
It appears that the accounts from!
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. It
seems the fleets were for some time
in sight of each other, but that nei
ther of them showed any disposition
to fight. The Spanish men of war

he intends tu make an attempt to re
