The New-York American ; seems to suppose it possible thatthetintehded departu rejpf-the Russian; Envoy from this p)yernment may have some rela tion to the course determined on by the.

The intention of Mr. Poletica to return to Hussia this Spring was welt known in the, circles of this 'cityV long before there'was any indication, on the part of pur government, of an intention to take any stepn whatever in; regard to the nations of South-America lb. , During the late electioneeringam- Eaign in tlestatej of Maryland,' and efore and aftr itj there was published,-in the Baltimore Federal Republi can, aperies of letters over the signa ture of A Native Virginian,' on the subject of pecuniary transactions in various departments ' of the govern ment. Their object was to impeach the Republican administrations of the government, for waste and negligence of public money. But, although writ ten; with some ability, and labored with reat industry, the feeling and motive at the bottom of these letters were apparent, and they fell still born from the press. More recently, how ever, they have . been collected into pamphlet form, and a copy forwarded to every Member of Congress,, and, we suppose, to such editors of news papers as arc known to have a rankling hostility to the government. - We sup pose so, we say, because we perceive that, although previously permitted to lide without notice, in regular suc cession, through the columns of the Federal iRepublican,1 they are now ta ken up anew in some of the newspa pers, and eagerly disseminated. VYhat is the motive of the renovated indus try employed on this occasion, we know not. If the public interest were the object, we should applaud the spi- ru or me unneriannj;. oui u lrnas root in fon-chenshed prejudice and political enmity, we have little consi deration for it. r V'Be the .motive -what it maynothing is evolved by thrs discussion, that new to those who are conversant with the operations, of our. government. The most innocent transaction in life may be made, bv high coloring, to as sume an aspect, foreign to its true na ture. Such is the case with regard. to many of the transactions adverted to by A Native Virginian."; Of some of his representations the persons con cerned have taken the trouble to ex pose the fallacy ; and the reader has seen how little foundation there is for the most specious accusations, : when examined with candor, both sides be in heard. - ! I AVe do. not know, howeverjythat these investigations, whatever the mo tive, do much mischief in reality.- They ( operate injuriously in a certain degree, we know, but so far., as they promote a spirit of inquiry and in ves tigation, they.may be cf 'use.

Navv',', in 1821, have been, recently published by the authority of the Navy Department." The following is' the Opinion of the Court ; ., v jA The Coiirt is of opinion, that the conversa tion, alleged to have . taken place between Capt. James Barron,' and Mr. Lyon, the Bri tish consul at Pernanibuco, in the year; 1809, has not been proved. And the Court is fur ther of opinion, that although the evidence produced by Capt. Barron establishes his sincere and earnest desire to return to the United States at certain periods, and the dif ficulty of accomplishing his wishes, . yet the Court is of opinion,' that the evidence pf his I inability to return 'ioner than he actually i did, is not satisfactory ; and it is, therefore, ' the opinion of the Court, that his ' absence j from the United States, without the permis I sion of the covernment. was contrary to his duty as an officer in the fcavy of the Uroted . x - ; .

Int. :" ' 'i 'l Precious metalsThere is one point 01 view in wnicn tne events ot South America present themselves as inter esting to the? commerce of the world. tor sevs ral years past, the revolution of the Spanish Provinces has impeded the working of the precious" mines. Amidst the clang of hostile arms, the arts of peace and the pursuits of indus try have languished into inactivity. w e need: no other proof or this tact, than the statement of Mr. Wilcocks in his fetter to the Secretary of, State. He states. that previous to the insur- rection in Mexico of the year 1810, coined at' the, mint of the the money : ' . a city of .Mexico was upwards of twen ty-eight mtllions'annually and since, the money coined yearly, do$6e ceed from five to eight millions4 THis year it will nrobab'lv not exceed four.' A fierarconstitution, accompanied by, the blessings or peace,, will produce, however, j a very opposite result; I A new spring will be every where given to . the industry, of South-America ; every branch ot business will, receive a new impulse mining will be prose cuted with inew spirit- new and more scientific processes will be applied to the operations--the steam engine will be' used in a hundred , ways to' drain and improve the mine and a larger portion of the precious metals will be poured over the commercial worid.--The business too wilt be relieved from some of those severe exactions, which were calculated to - improve the royal exchequer.! Among , the decrees alrea dy passed by the convention of Mexi co, is one (according to Mri Wilcocks) for the encouragement of the miners, relinquishing to them the quota f siU ver formerly paid to the ICingyfvr itn other imports that amounted 1 0 seven -teen per cent-rSo that many mine rals that could not be - worked beforej can now' be used to advantage."
