It is with pleasure we are enabled to pre
sent the Brethren with the information that
the Union of the two Grand Lodges of
tliis State has been consummated. The
following is an extract of a letter from the
IVoxy of Kershaw Lodge, No. 55, to the
Master, dated Cfiariei*ton\ od June t
*? If is with tin usual delight 1 communi
?rate the pleasing intelligence of the Unidff
- of the two Grand lx>d^es. They assem
bled on Friday night last, and every thing
? *vas conducted with real Brotherly love
and harmony : and the report of the Joint
Committee is that we are both one and
?. the same body the same family. This
v - report was in eacii Graad Lodge Unam
moiiMly ugreed to ? whereupon in each the
articles ofUni6n were also unanimously
adopted."
We have received Wesley , and it affords
us pleasure to publish anything that may
contribute to the, entertainment of our re
ligious patrons, and tend to the promotion
' , of morally and religion. We hope to be
gratified frequently by communications of
this character. - . *
. An- Ambassador 'from the new Repub
lic has arrived iri the United States.
\
According _io the official account of the
? ? ?
commander of the Royal forces, the des
truction of the Patriot* at the taking of
Barcelona was immense ; amounting to
one thousand men . We read of no prison
ers have been taken on this occasion. The"
Patriot accounts acknowledge the loss of
" l>ut lhrertundr*<d, and state that theRoy
alists refused to spare eveh tfl? women and
< , ?
children.
TW Patriots of fofnamhuco are pro
pressing with firm atfd steady steps to
wards the maintenance of the Independence
they have so nobly acquired. They have
abolished all titlfs of nobility, and the only
title known there at present is Patriot and
Compatriot. The provincial government
has issued an addresslo toie- people* calling
0*1 them by all those skat should
^ * m ' ^ -aV * VJ \ . . yi ,V >. j',. #
influence (He Tiearts of Freemen to make a
manly struggle inthegjreat causc of Li
berty ; to establish 'U 'on an < imperishable
basis or nobly to perish in the attempt.?
Not a vestige of sovereign authoi^iy re
mains in -tHe province. The provisional
government hare determined to organize
and maintain a regular arirly of 13,00#
men? which in the province of Pernambu
co alone will be seconded by well ref
lated militia of 40*0pfc.
Liberty iOapidly extending It* Influence
over those regions df America where des
potism has exerted the riiost frightful sway#
Already It the standard of liberty waving
triumphantly in Mex'rco, Venezuela* Bra
ail, the Province's of BuenoS Ay res, Para
. Kuay tn<^ Chili ; and Peru cannot long re
sist the example of so glorious a combina
.* tion. Thus the new world is destined by
all bountiful providence as an asylum for
the per sauted of all nations, and the resi
. dence of that noblest of all productions, a
free and independent race of men.

The last accounts from Au&oitura state,
that the Royal army attacked the Patriots,
\ %hd in about fifteen minutes were totally
* destroyed ; the general of thfc royal forces
V %hh difficulty escaped, with one hundred
persons ; his loss is about *000? ttie place
in want of proVfribhs, fcnd all shut up in
the Caatle.
' ?? In justice #to our correspondent
,lcmt*chu9 and by his request, we republish a
?<frw lines of his production with Ae correc.
tion a few typographical error*. We
;have received a second communication
containing some observations of the reason
given by us for dectltig (he publication of
his first. Wt t$e| to fye excused from
. iroT* puoitsmnp; his last, t? it is rather
personal, and we cannot depart from the
rule that has hitherto governed us, not to
insert any thin^ in our columns that can
possibly t*nd to wound the feeling? of any
pe\*on. Mliis is our only reason as the
author in this piece has profited by the .ob
jections'" we made to hrs first
w The human understanding In the insuf
ficiency of its verge towards perfection
without any aid except the obscure light
of nature, was necessarily involved in
, est incongruity.
Jn this juvenile age it is natural to sup
pose that the mental optic in endeavour
ing to perforate the almost impervious film
which opposed its proximation to the ha
ven of correct reason, received so formi
dablesa repulsion that the return of its vis->
ual rays on the rracto was so precipitate
as almost to discourage its tuture es- .
*ays."

By a late arrival .from Vera .Cruz, we
havtj obtained more exact information up
on the true situation of Mexico, than that
forwarded by thr Spanish insurgentsvpub
luhed in their papers ynd repeated
some of the North American Journals.
We learn that jn spit* of the famous ex
pedition of lQ*QQQjnenvshipSvIngalesv8tc*
the arrival of wffich was emphatically but
erroneously announced uncjer date of )
March 24, at New- York, a single schoon- I
er brig, under the independant flag, block*
aded Vera Crue, and has taken several pri
zes, one with 28,0?0 dollarsTtx specie, and
intercepted a correspondence, w:*ch pla
ces the political situation of the country in
its true point of view.
. In one of those letters the royalists say
"the fire of insurrection increases, and is
not likely to subs de as was hoped# The
insurgents make use of every amnesty >
granted them, only to escape to their
comrades again on the first opportunity."
It appears the republican chiefs have found
the necessity of centra authority : general
Rayon, report Rays, has subjugated all
the province />f Valladolid. A new gene
ral has been sent to the province of Vera
cruz. * . ' . <
