No additional, Paris Papers have arrived, but we hate laid before our Readers private letters brought by. the Mail of yesterday. That different writers should exhibit the passing scene in different points of view is not surprising : our Readers will draw their own conclusions from this diversity of opinion.

SOUTH AMERICA. We have received the Preara Argentina, a new Paper printed in Buenos Ayres, up to October 17 , and a Proclamation issued by the Supreme Director of the United Provinces of the River Plate, DAD ICI. NACIO ALVansi, addressed to the inhabitants on the subject of the Decree published by FERDINAND VII. .and his Minister Ltabuum, on the change of des tination given to bloatuo's espedition, originally in- tended against Buenos Ayres: In this said precious document the .krtoi and his faithful Minister pro claim, that besides the 10.000 men under Moarum, arrangements have been made to keep up, in Cadiz, a body of 20,000 infantry, 1500 cavalry, and a cor responding quantity of artillery, 44 for the purpose of being cunveyed to the points in America where it may be necessary to suppress the revolutionary germ, and cause the legitimate afathorities to be respected, rwhen the measures of sweetntss so says King Fait- IlialAND) which my heart dictates shall not suffice." To ibis terrifying paper, and a compendium of hfoatuab's cruelties in Caracas, the iollowiug is the answer: 44 The above documents prove, that FXRDIV AND and the Spaniards have learnt little in the schools of ad versity, and that we ought to die rather than belong to a nation incapable of being civilized, or obey a King who only commands executioners and assassins in order to effect our tranquillity, and when this title alone, if a thousand others were wanting, would jus tify our cause in the eyes of Heaven. '1 lieu are, Ci tizens, the sentiments of this Government, nor do any political considerations prevent us from publishing them. Spain is on the eve of being plunged into the chaos of her aacient barbarism ; a long chain of unjust acts and horrid crimes impel her on, without know ing itb to her end. 46 In vain she seeks to make the Americans parti cipators in st punishment she alone deserves. If we have committed any crime it is by having treated, in our triumphs. men who do not belong to nature, in a clement manner; and by having believed that those who spill torrents of blood in the name of the AL MIGHTY, could some time or other be reconciled to us, &c. u In artier, however, to increase our force of the line, 8,000 recruits have been called down from Peru anParaguay, who are to be disciplined in this city. Besides these, we have 10,000 regular cavalry within the capital and its vicinity, and the lower provinces will furnish an equal number. Our armament was never on so brilliant a footing. The towns in every qiiarter have offered all kinds of aid, when required, nor can the King of Spain, at any time, send over one h.lf of the troops with which we are ready to oppose him. In short, our country is safe, Citizens, without its being neces sary to come to extremes; but if danger presses, the whole world shall have proof of our constancy.— Abandoned, as we are, by all nations, even by those to whom our friendship cannot be indifferent, by those which, extending to the rude regions of Africa, the influence of their learning and humanity in America, suffer the sacred rights of nature to be drowned in blood, and coldly leave us abandoned to ourselves, Sm." By accounts from Jamaica, received this morning, we learn that the JASON frigate steered along the South American coast as far u Cardiagena, but had no communication with the shore. 'Off Boca Chica there were .5V sail of Spanish vessels, eleven of which had pendants flyinip The Spanish ship Santa Teresa, (rpm Tarragona to Santa Martha, Was captured in November. off Cape Maize, by a Carthaginian cruiser, and ordered for Carthagena, where we understand she arrived in safety...ller cargo was very valuable.

THE AR Mr. The reduction of Cavalry Regiments, we hear t ilis to be confined to one, the 25th Light Dragoons, which is to be ordered home from the East Indies for that purpose. The North York Militia, on their route from Litch field, marched through Leeds in three divisions last week, for Richmond, where they will be disembodied. This regiment consists of twelve companies, having two rifle companies, and is the first Regiment of Mi litia which added this force to its establishment. The men average under thirty years. They are of good infantry • standard, sizing, contrary to custom, from flanks to centre, atter the Manner of military rank. A Court-Martial has been held at Futtighur, in the East Indies, on Captain G. M. Gums:LT.4 his Ma jesty's 25th Light Dragoons, on charges brought by Major It. Ecus, commanding a detachment of the said regiment, viz. " For writing a threatening letter to Captain' I'. Sitao, of the said regiment, dated at Bangalore, February 6,1815, with a view to provoke him (Captain Shaw) to fight a duel with Captain C.

G A meral Court Martial has also been held at Bangalore, on Captain C. RANDALL. of his Majesty's '22d Dragoons, on the following charge, viz. " For sending a written challenge through Captain G. M. Gasvitca, of his Majesty's 2.5 th Dragoons, to Cap tain T. tiiin.w, of the above corps, dated Bangalore, the 6th of February, for the purpose of fighting a duel, therein rewiring Captain Shaw to Captain Gre vale, his (Captain Randall's) friend, respecting the sad:lite - 60n he alluded to, such conduct being in breach of the Articles of War."—Upon which charge the Court was of opinion, that Captain Randall was Guilty, and sentenced him to be cashiered; which sentence was approved, but at the earnest solicitation of the Court, and the intercession of General Sir T. HisLor, the penalty was remitted, but directed to be read at the head of his Majesty's regiments, and en tered in the Regimental Order Books: Mrs. Aisop, who lately appeared on the stage with so much success in /Cosa!sad, has accepted an engage. ment at Bath.

At that period the Independent Government of Buenos Ayres had been (thrown into the utmost consternation by the sudden disappearance of theit Admiral, with four of their principal ships of war, and a considerable treasure. This Of f icer was an Englishman named Baows, who went out to South Anierica as a mere adven turer, and being conversant in naval tactics, was eagerly employed by the Buenos Ayres Govermwent. In all his rencontres with the Monte l Videans at sea, he never failed to acquit hintsOf most gallantly, and had thus completely gained the confidence of his employers op to the time of his fight. Whither he had gone, or what had caused his sudden treachery, could only be matter of conjecture; but it was feared by the people of Buenos Ayres that he had been bribed to enter into the schemes of the Spanish and Portuguese Courts, whom they believe to have coa lesced, for the purpose of reducing all the Indepen dents.. The recovery of his South American posses sions must, doubtless, be an object very near the heart of FF.:ID:NAND VII.: and it is not improbably con jectured, that the projected matrimonial alliances be tween the Courts of Spain and Portugal have been accelerate:: as much by a view to ibis object as to 'an other.
