SPAIN. OPrIttAL atertetr, ratite TUE MADRID GAZETTE.. MADRID, SEPTEMBER b. His Majesty's corvette the Dioment, which arrived , in the port of Cadiz on the 16th of last month, has brought official dispatchec, containing the interesting intelitgrece of the pacific entrance of the King's troops into the capital of the Viceroyalty of the king dam of New Granada.—Lietitenaat General Don Pablo Mraii;o, General in Chief of the Expeditionary Spanish Army, has trap.ani:ted to t he Secretary of State and Dispatch 1:1. the War - oepartment, an account or this event, dated from his head qua: tern, • 'Santa Fe de Bogota, May SI, in the following terms : as MosT Excreta-ENT SENOR—I have the satisfaction informto your Excellency, that the troops under the command of Coloneb; Don Miguel de la Torre and Dna Sebastian de la Calzada entered this capital of the Viceroyalty on the 6th of the present month, after the pretended Government and the troops had ettaneloned it, flying disorderly in different directions, and thus affording the inhabitants, most of whom are . faithful and loving subjects of his Majesty, the op portunity of testifying their sincere joy. as On the 9th and the 11th, Captain Don Antonio Gomez came up with the enemy, whom he routed with only 200 men, taking all the horses, arms, am tnuniron, baggage, &c. and throwing into complete disorder the miserable remains of the rebels, who fled towards the plains of Sr. Morn, where the sword of justice will overtake them. Several hundreds of soldiers have come in with their arms, to avail them.. selves of the pardon which has been granted them. 66 Colonel D in Francisco Warleta occupied Me. dellin on the Gth, and subsequently the whole pro- ?ince of Antievia, which the Rebel Government abandoned. 46 These fortunate events were the result of the march of five columns, extending from Barmas to the Atrato, and which advancing at the same time, penetrated every gunner of the Viceroyalty, formed their junctions at the allotted points, secured ti country in their rear, and marched through deserts and uncultivated wastes which are seldom passed, are destitute of habitations, and were then inundated by unceasing rains. These marches, prudently and for ma:eV directed, and the attacks with which all parts cf the territory were menaced, insulated the different rovinces, and divided the forces of the enemy, who vas defeated before he was aware of our plan of cperatioas. The fifth column, which is that of the Atrato, ought to be already, according to the ac ccunts from Celeetel Warleta, united in the little province of Choco, which the Coionel will attack in 'be caie of resistance. 44 The remains of the enemy now possess only the i Llancs and Fopayan. The winter inundations in the former do not permit any movement to the provinces • from Venezuela, for the purpose of reinforcing the' rebels of the plains, and they are about to be attacked by Colonel la Torre, who will drive them back on the inundations, and either destroy them or compel them to surrender. Besides many or the inhabitantsof the plains of St.lVlartin, as mvil as those of Casanere, wish for the arrival of the troops. Colonel Warleta will march upon Popayan as soon as the ccennm cf the , Atrato and the forces of the /via•7,daler.4 shall bO united, which are already in motion, . proceeding in ' 1 the direction of Cotago by the Novitas, as are also , some detachments from the regiment of Numancia ; end it follows of course that the army of Quito will • operate in conjunction with those'troops. aa From this statement, I think your Excellency may consider chat this Vice Royalty is already paci fied, and that the door is shut against the insurgents of the plains of Casanere, who hive now no point of support nor line of retreat. " I may now, most excellent Sir, be permitted to observe, that the expedition which the King entrusted to my command has, within the period of one year from my arrival in America, fulfilled all that his Majesty was pleased to anticipate in the private in suuctions addressed to me, though the force of the expedition was very small, compared with the opera tions which were undertaken, and which have, through DIVINS assistance alone, been fully accom plished. " I should wish all this to be laid before his Ma. jesty, as affording fresh proofs of what may be ex pected from his Expedition-Army in America : love for the royal person of his Majesty prompted every individual of the army to surpass himself in the per. fofmance of his duties. Thus neither hunger, nor the desartse nor roads which nature seemed to have rendered impra:ticable, were capable of impeding their progress. " I must also recommend to your Excellency to snake known to his Majesty, the merit acquired in this glorious campaign by the Mariscal de Campo Don l'ascual Eurile, my second in command, and Chief of the Staff of the Army, whose indefatigable and efficacious efforts have contributed greatly to this happy result. It will afford me much satisfac tion if his Majesty shall reward this meritorious Ge neral, who on this occasion, as well es at the taking of Carthagena, performed interesting services, as stated in my prevwds dispatches. •' Your Excellency, however, well knows what is due to such able chiefs and valiant troops, who have foccessfully executed all my-plans, without having hitherto sustained the slightest reverse, and for which I recommend them to such favours as his Majesty may be pleased tit dispense.—Lieutenant Don Manuel Ramos is the bearer of these dispatches. I cannot but recommend him, as he bas on all occasions dis tinguished himself in the army, in which be received two guashot wounds; notwithstanding these wounds gemmed open at the beginning of the campaign, he would not separate from his company, and served in the battle of Cachiri." The favourable change of the weather which has] been experienced in the last fortnight, has enabled the farmer to get in his harvest, and dif f used happiness and joy through the bosom of every lover of his coun try. This has been made particularly manifest at the Lottety Offices, where the demand for Tickets and Shares has been considerably increased. Indeed, the G o lden Harvest which is yet to be reaped on Saturday *text, forms one of the most splendid attrac tions ever known in the Annals of Lotteries—One Grand Prize of £40,000, Two of er30,000, Two of atom°, Seven of £l,OOO, are yet to be distributed to the Paielic i although One Third of the Tickets has been drawn. • 1 -GERMAN PAPERS. ST. PETERSBURGH, AUGUST 4s. In the Ordinances issued on the Emperor's jour ney, it is said—That his . Majesty desires to see, in person, the situation of the provinces in the interior, which have suffered the most by the war, and re quire effectual assistance. That, for the same rea soo. he is going to Warsaw to animate, by his pre sence, the proceedings of the new Administration and, under the protection of peace,lo place the hap piness of his. Polish subjects on a durable foundation. Auousr 31.—Two new frigates, of 44 and 36 guns, were lately launched at °clue, three wersts from the city. His Majesty the Emperor arrived at Twer on the 25th, and left it on the 26th. His Imperial High ness the Grand Duke Nicholas passed, on the 17th, through Moshaisk, and on the 19th, through Wiasma, going to Smolensko. COPENHAGEN, SEPTEMBER 10. The Captain of a ship, bound from an American port to Smyrua, is said, according to mercantile ad vices, to - have been murdered, together with the Su percargo. by the crew, who seized then. on a sum of 24,000 Piastres, which was on board, since which they have put into Christiansand with the ship ; but on suspicions having been conceived of them by Mr. Isacksen, the American Consul there, they were in part arrested, and have confessed their crime. But a part of the crew of the said vessel are reported to have escaped, and three of them, we hear, have lately been discovered and arrested here. FROM THE MAINE, SEPTEMBER 15. The Duke of Hildburghausen has, of his own free will, received into the Assembly of the Stater the cuss of peasants who, hitherto, had no rvprerentativcs. The Ambassadors of four peat European powers have delivered, a, we hear, to the Magistrates of Frankfort an energetic note on account of their pro clamation of t 4 le Sill of July (that forbidding the Jews to purchase houses). It is said that in future an entire liberty of the press will be introduced into The kingdom of Saxony. PARIS, SEPTEMBER 20. PRIVATE LETTER. " Nothing is talked of at present but M. de Chateau briand and his pamphlet. This pamphlet, so long since announced, was seized the day before yesterday, at the moment it was issuicg from the press—buttardly were the seal: of Government affixed Bison its nume rous copies, when the workmen of the printer as sembled, tore them off, and drove away the agents of pclice. The latter, however, soon returned, well reinft,:ced with gen-d'armerie, made good again their seizure, as they thought, and drew up a preces-verbal of the riotous proceeding; but in the mean time a considerable number of copies had been removed, and hastily sent off for various destin.itions—six thousand were stopped at the Post-Office; stopped by the Police itself, for the Master General, M. de .Herbouville, would willingly have suffered them to pass. The party, however, did not trust to this ch innel alone, for they d;spatched at the same time a multitude of agents to circulate them in the departments. 64 This paniphiet, the posicriptum at least, written immediately on the di:solution of the Chamber of De puties, was designed to neutralize and defeat that measure in the departments, on the occasion of the ensuing elections. Ede work is entitled Di la Mow - chic telex la Cherie. I will szhd you an analysis of it. " Cabinet Councils and private conferences with the King have been repeatedly held upon the ques tion of removing the Prefects, a measure as necessary as the dismiution of the Chamber itself. No resolu tion has been taken upon this point, except in a few trifling instances; in consequence of which the no minations of the Presidents of the Colleges of 4r rondissement are such as would appear dictated by the Princes themselves; and it is observed, that they afford a striking contrast with the nominations of the Presidents of the Electoral Colleges of Department made by the Minister. Bad elections must be she re sult of these nominations. M. Laine and M. de Cazes already feel uneasy upon this head, and indeed their situatioN is critical—even awful, when it is cou sidered that they may be driven from power by a Chamber of their own formation, by a party whose violence will know no bounds, when they shall have to boast of the popular sanction given to their con duct by reelection. The King has permitted a great experiment to he tried in favour of his Ministers and of his Charter ; but he has at the same time withheld from them the first means of success, namely, the removal of the Ultra part of the Ministry, and espe clity that of the present Prefects, who are avowedly in the interest of the latter. 46 Their power is, in short, so crippled, and their best wishes so thwarted, that it would be a wonder, indeed, if they were able .to effect good elections, or to carry into execution any measure of national im portance. To which may be added, that Ministers, , in spite of their professions in favour of a constitu tional system, are not supported by the bulk of the people, who, averse to the present dynasty and all power emanating from it, form a party of itself, as distinct from M. L4ine's and the Chartered Consti tutionalists as from that of the Princes. The Princes have retired to Compeigne, affecting to take no part against the measures at present in progress, but in reality for the purpose of planning more at their ease the means of counteracting them. Nose of the High Court Party have appeared at the Thuilieries since the dissolution of the Chamber. " M. de Chateaubriand observes with much naivete in his pamphlet, that the King, in his profound wis dom, would never have consented to dissolve the Chamber, if he had not been sure of its identical. Members being re-elected. u By the last advices from Marseilles, a report is stated to prevail in that city of the force under Lord Exmouth having taken possession of Ceuta. It is totally disbelieved here." A Paris paper says—“ M. Schmidt, piano -maker, in the Rue des Bons Eakin, has invented a nautical machine of the greatest simplicity, by means of which, in the most stormy weather, and in the midst of the most violent tempest, any person may contend against the waves and be preserved from shipwreck. During the next week he will, in presence of the Authorities, make trial of this Machine, which be calls the 64 Pa rapontic Chair." The maks, proposes to crow i 4 it from Calais to Dom."

The Emperor of RUSSIA is making the tour of his dominions, and is every where received with the most enthusiastic ioyaky. The King of SAXONY has acceded to the Holy Alliance among the Continental Sovereigns. His Majesty has disco. vered that► its principles were always his own :—an immense waste of blood and treasure would have been saved to Europe if his Majesty had announced these dormant sentiments previous to the Battle of Leipsic. But for the steady support given to BONA PARTE by Saxony, that battle could not have been fought, and the civilized' world would have been freed from its greatest scourge precisely two years sooner. So much for his Majesty the Xing of SAXONY Boston Papers to the 25th of August; Carnes' Gazettes to the 16th of July ; and Bermuda Papers to the 10th of August, reached us this morning. On the 2341 ultimo there was a dreadful fire at Salem (N.E.) In the short space of two hours 16 buildings were totally destroyed, and many others greatly injured. SOUTH AMERICA. In another column will be found some Spanish of ficial news from South America. Knowing the de• graded state of the press in Spain, we attach but little credit to any of its statements, unless they be confirmed by accounts through other channels. Ge neral MoalLLo's dispatches are only to the end of May, but we have other accounts before us which come down to the end of July, and which give a more favouraiale picture of the affairs of the Patriots. The contest is a most' bloody one, but the Patriots, we are happy to observe, have relaxed a little in their severity towards their enemies when they fall into their hands. a ROSTON, (N. E.) AUGUST 2Z u The Mermaid, Captain Handy, arrived yester day from Cumana, which port she left on the Wah l of June. His report of military operations, though not quite so late as previous accounts from Laguira, is interesting. " Cumana was still in possession of the Royalists; hut the Patriots were at Curacna, about five leagues distant, marching for the place. The Governor and every other person capable of military duty had been compelled to take up arms and march slgainst them. Tne force under the Governer consisted of about 2.500 men and boys. The fleet was manned with very inefficient men, and the opinion of Captain 11. was, that an American sloop of war could discomit the whole fleet. It was reported at Cumana, that General Alorillo was at Curecoa, on his way to Cumana; but as the report had been current two or thiee months, very little credit was attached to it. " Executions took place almost daily at Cumana ; and it was shocking to humanity to witness the bar. batity and horrid treatment which the Patriots.expe rienced whenever they fell into the power of the Royalists. Persons were daily apprehended as spies, and of being favourable to the cause of the Patriots ; they received a mock trial, were sentenced to death, takLn out to the plains (just without the city), where they were shot, and their bodies left on the ground for the crows to feed upon. An instance of inhume. nity and cruelty took place at Cumana while Captain Handy was there, which disaffected a great many persons with the Government, and on account of which it was thought they would not oppose the approach of the Patriots, but on the contrary would join them. It is as follows : COPY FROM CAPTAIN HANDY'S JOURNAL. " CUMANA, Jer4r 12t, " Witnessed a most barbarous act. A female of the most re spectable family in Cumana, for uttering some invectives against the government, and speaking in favour of the patriotic partys was tied on a jack-au, attended by a guard of ten soldiers, led through the streets, and at every corner, and opposite the bottles of her dearest connections, received a certain number °f lashes on the bare back, apportionate to 200, the number she was sentenced to receive; what rendered the punishment still more disgraceful, the person who inflicted it was a large negro, who, when her long beautiful hair, in some deveedefended her delicate skin, with one hand removed it, that the lathes inflicted with the other might cause the mere acute pain. The poor sufferer was blindfolded, and bore the inhuman treatment with as much fortitude as per haps was ever exhibited 'on a similar occasion; her cries were feeble, but 1 saw, notwithstanding the handkerchief that eon. cealed her face, tears trickling down and falling on her breast. " I saw but one down lathes inflicted; but some of my crew who were en shout, had the curiosity to see the whole sentence put In execution:—my feelings were too much hurt to let curio• sity overcome them; I made particular inquiries respecting the unfortunate girl, two days after, and was informed, that she re fused all medial odd, and food; and a few days afterwards I was informed that she was dead, being front her exquisite feelings un able to survive the disgrace and pain she had suffered."
