The population of these Pro-. 'laces in 1792 was two millions and a half. Its com merce produced between ten and eleven millions; its dear revenue sees ;5;273,099 piastres; and the annual c o n Age at Santa Fe. de Bogata, principally in gold, ere . 2,293,249 piastres. Its situation is between the South and North Sea; bounded on the North by Go .tertula, on the Sloth by Peru, on the East by Venezuela and the country of the Amazons, and on l e e West by the Pacific Ocean. Its extent 46(4,800 . wa re mites; and its principal productions are gold, e lver, copper, lead, iron, quicksilver, emeralds, zit.- cone, coffee, cocoa, indigo, sugar, wool, cochineal, ee tesalt, cotton, bark, vanilla, &c. Each province v:as :stied by a Geveruor or Corregidor, who was a • the same time civil and military commander, and who received his orders from the Viceroy, who resi ded at Santa re de Bogata. Tie Audience of Santa Fe aid of Quito decided in all judicial affairs. la August, 1603, Don Pablo San Llorente ap. rear ed at Santa Fe de Bogata, deputed by the Junta o f &Villa, and the Viceroy, Don Antonio Ansar y l et een, and convened- a meeting of the principal F uses of the city, befole whom they made known o e manner in which the Kies of Spain had been rode prisoner at Bayonne, the state of commotion in I e eich his kiegclom was, the victory of General Cal. moos at Baylen, and the peace made with Great F- i. hie. The result of this was the acknowledgmen-. o.' the Junta of Sevilla, and the sending into Spein the whole contents of the public treasury. The Jun:a c e ntral was acknowledged same time after by the ; Viceroy; but the inhabitants of Quito having refused ; this acknowledgment, the Viceroy convened two As- goblin like the preceding one, which, on the 7th ad 11th of November, assembled in the Viceroy's palace. The opinion was, that a General Junta ought to be formed at Santa Fe de Bogata, which : should have power to provide for the defence of tee country iii case the French got possession of Sloe% I and that no hostilities ought to take places against Quito. The Viceroy being of a contrary opinion, troops were nevertheless sent against Quito ; but be-1 fore their arrival the Revolutionary Government was, destroyed. While these divisions existed, two young men, natives aflocorro, undertook to overthrow the Viceroy's Governmeat, and, &pi:nag on the incli nation of the people and the protection of some re spectable perants, they assembled a small body of um, who determined to sacrifice their lives for the I liberty, of their country, and made known their deter minatioa by invading Llanos. Success could not crown their undertaking—it was too rash. They were defeated, Made prisctaers, tried, and beheaded, at Pore, the capital of the province. The loss of Rosillo and of Cadenes will be lung a subject of grief to new Grenada. The name of Dun Antonio Narinu is well.known h America : distineuished by his bold patriotism, Ns suflerim.,s in the cause of his country, and for his project of esteleishi ig a monarchy at Cnndinamana He was arrested in 1791, and sent to Cadiz, being mused of -conspiring against the Spanish 3otiern thsm in New Grenada : and having escaped in the very moment of disemberldng, he presented himself ( at the Court of Madrid ; bet hearing that they again I intended confining him,, notwithstanding the euhrnis- I lion he had made, he mate: his escape into France. I From thence lie came to London, where Mr. ['itt re- i caved him most graciously, and in concert with that! great Minister, whose favourite project was the giving ! freedom to the Spanish Colonies, he returned to Ame-1 rick s olace more to toil for liberty: but he was again discovered—again arrested. A confinement of many Jean was the consequence of this last arrest. He after. lards regained his liberty, but was closely watched. A short time before the execution of Rosilln and Cadences, the Spaniards, fearing the activity of Don Antonio Nerino, had him arrested and sent to Cartha gena under an escort ; but having succeeded in esca ping, from the extr:mrdeoary resources he possessed, eves in the most difficelt situations, he sought an anlom in the province of Same - Marta. He was there discovered and sent to Certhagena, where, loaded with irons, he lingered many months in the horrible prison at Fort Bocachica. In consequence 01 ;be Revolution, be regained his freedom ; but by a cntious combination of circumstances he fell at last into the Power of the Spaniards, after having acted the most distinguished part in New Grenada, having been President of the Assembly at Cundinaniana, and distinguished himself in a campaign marked by the most brilliant success. He was conducted to Cadiz and imprisoned, and in this confinement he still lingers. The intelligence of the dissolution of the Junta Central gave opportunity to the Municipality of Car thagena to join . with Governor Moines two persons trho were to act in concert with him, This prepared the gay. for the Revolution of Santa Fe, Carthagena k iet the key to Now Grenada. About the same Period the inhabitants of Pampalona deposed their , ~C °Treg iclor. who had committed a shameful act in eetreating oae of the principal women in the city.. The inhabitants of Socorro deposed their Governor 1 f _ atl similar actio n . And these circumstances in. 'Poled the inhabitants of Santa Fe de Bogota, and they, on the sight of the 20th of July, 1810, put Ilide their Spanish 1 tw ers, establishing in their place v . • .

" Since I had this pleasure in November, I have suffered much, as yo., may well imagine. I was pre. cisely four months, except one day . , in the dungeons of the Inquisition, whence I was liberated after every effort had been made to coviv7ct me upon the Ordi• trances of Spain. I hived het e the .^,d instant in pretty good health, only my nerves are still weak, having at one time lost the use of my right arm. Admiral Douglas's early interference was the means of taking me out of the Miiitary Commission which condenmed nit): unhappy victim► after a mock trial. " I left Carthagena the 27th ultimo, at which re- l rind the proceedings of rvlorillo in the interior were carefully concealed : certain it is, his head-quarters were in Ocauna, and thirrfore a great distance from Santa l'e. The General Coni;ress had removed to Tunca ; and, in conserptence ot the execution of two c.l the nine above alluded to, silo had surrendered under a promised pardon, the s r .irit of the people had acquired renewed life, and occasioned a determination to fight to the last. Murillo, as you know, is Captain General of Venezuela; and in conseeptence of a grow. ing change in the spirit of that. people whom he had so recently left to all appearance resigned to their new dy nasty, he had dispatched 1.500 of the Expeditionary Artny from Ocauna back upon Caraccas, so that the force he now possesses exclusive of the troops ler: toga:. rison Sta. Martha and Car thagena cannot exceed 4000, a number, I trust, inadequate to a successful con quest of New Granada. You sedl learn that a squa dron from Buenos Ayres has been crnizing batwaen 1 Lima and Panama, and that BC"Ln'All had gone from Hayti with no trifling force, and well supplied with awns, wish a view of landing to windward. Report; gays, he has effected that landing near Cumana. I Should this prove true, I feel very conli.ient of his I success, for Murillo, by his oppression, has sown thei seeds of discontent among the people, to a depth I now impossible to root up. The langtatte of those I in power, wham I had an op i :ortunity of conversin ; i with during the period between my ealargerrient and subsequent depatture, nas mat kad and ominous. I These deluded penple were happy and free beforel they separated from the ntother.country, now they will find what it is to be truly slaves: we will first decimate the . papelation, and having cot oil the most akrasive meatlf,ers, Lie lir and b..ndage the others so tightly and so securely, that cortavait aid cease.' " But in ev:ry view the success of Motil!u is to be I deprecated. Humanity shedders at the pr specs, and the commercial interests of Great Ilticain it:ready feel the bid effects. The laws of the Indies are aain in full force, and the Philippine Company, by Proclarna- 1 bon, are to have the f ull monopoly in the Venezuela and New Grenada the moment Ferdinand is in gene-1 ' rat possession. At the 1 >west calculation the exports from Btaish pores to New Grenada and across the Isthmus this year will be more than fifteen mil-, bons of dollars less than they were the year prior to the visit of Morillo's Expedition I This is no trifle, and must shake soon the adverse opinion our Manufacturers have had to Government interfe. ring in the affairs of Spanish America. These ad vantages and disappointments are now in the balance, and the humane and patriotic spirit of England must feel an innaest in the fulcrum. 1 have ahewn what New Grenada has done for ear Manufacturers, and the same &corneas will have pointed out to you what permanently increasing advantages she offered in her freedom. Since my arrival here I have ob. served with much pleasure the spirited decision, of North America, in sending out a force with a Com. missioner to Carthagena, in order to demand the citizens of the united States and their property, so illegally detained. ' " The demand is just, and I can tell yon it will avail, once more, to give that infant navy a power of crowing over our's. What authority nas Murillo to keep up a blockade of Carthagena ?—for it is still permitted him to call it so. I take it that the fall or surrender of the place ipso facto terminates the block. ade, and the property detained after is illegal, and should at least be allowed the right of pre-emption : such will be the ground, I apprehend, the United States will take, and they must succeed. Why have we the prospect of losing our property with such a Navy, and the Citizens of the United States so great a prospect of recovering their's ? If this and other matters forebode war between the United States and Spain, the jewel of the Indies wdl at once disappear from the Crown of Spain."

" It is said, indeed promulgated by Government, that the DAY of TUNIS has lost his head by his own Son, for liberating the Christian Slaves; and that in the absence of the - British Fleet, they had equipped their frigates, and were determined to take every thing they met with.
