111 I I II I I 111 lip _ trial wealth tO the happiness of their country, have come; to this capital, and here incessantly manifest the desire that the parent State would send to their Transatlantic 'brethren, prompt and opportune succour, that they may,:l prevail against the -yoke which oppresses them. We have already bhown-the elements of . svlnelt-the-mass of the Insurgents of Peru is composed, and how, by their heterogeneous nature, they cannot harmonize, either in their opinions,: their iiitereses - -, their sentiments ; they now only display to the universe a continual conflict of passions, and hideous spectacles of bloody scenes, the acts of the must horrid despotism, of an oligarchy and most revolting anarchy. We know that, in the years 1814 and 1821; the flame of independence and rebellion was kindled throughout Peru; but that, far from weak ! . enhig our assertions, only strengthens them. Revolution resembles an enormous rock, which, de tached from a high and steep-.mountain, forces ,along with it everything it encounters in its • passage; and it is for this reason that a distinction must be made be- tween those who gave the impiiision and those who . suffered themselves to be led away by it. • The foi-mer ate the Insurgents; and not the Indians, who have not been the promoters, but the unhappy victims, of political convulsions. This is the reason why these convulsicins l have only been ephemeral. A multitude of examples' eltiskin support of this truth ; we could relate them' al,' • .• bite* sirigle . one wilistilfiee for 'Our ,purpose.' On the 2d of January, 1622„ . a horde of instirgent3, l • proCeeded to Potoii,sto induce the 'garrison to' revolt, satiroAt the people having - taken any part in this insur rectionary movement,the results of which were massacre's, 1 pillage, assassitiation, and the Most tyrannical persecu- Potosi,•thatiks to the courage and intrepidity of our Chiefs, Chuquisack,.Oruro r andTupisa, was retaken , on the 12th, aad occupied by the Royalist troops; aided by the Indians of that town. - and neighbourhood, who,' taking np arms to assist them, 'nominated for their Chief a Lieutenant who had escaped from the garrison on the 2d, and who had gone amongst them to solicit an asylum, and to offer them his arm and sword. If, however, the Courier demands further proofs, we would beg him to repair to Peru. He will then be a witness of the enthusiasm with which the regiments of Chicas and San Carlos contend against the in-urgents, and he will know that in these corp,; there is not a single European. Thence let him pui sue his tour to Las lints cas, a place well known for its inFalubrious and pesti lential atmosphere, and he will t ehold there a number of unfortunate Americans, who were made prisone:s in Upper Peru, and are condemned to the most severe toil, and who suffer all the horrors of slavery similar to that tf , which Chri.tian captives me doomed in'the bagnins of Tunis a;.d Ah iers, rather than - acknowledge the sys te nof independence. After having examined the truth of these facts. it will not be difficult to recognize in wiose favour the opinion of Peru ii ptintounced. E EVENING sTrAlt.."

Nothing can be more inconsistent than the conduct of a portion of :he Public Press, in regard to the mur : der in Hertfordshire. Before Thur tell was tried he was loaded with every accusation that ingenuity could in vent or scandal propaga:e. The murdarer, Thuilell; was a standing head in the Papers, and we were called on to believe, that the assas s ination of Weare was but one of the many crimes of his life. He was,accused of having formed a list of seventeen persons whom he had marked out for sacrifice—of having taken a house in Manchester-buildings for the very purpose of murder and, of having wantonly killed a prisoner that he had taken, in cold food. Such w;:s tl.e ttcatment Thurtell jeceived .from the Press at the GlAt he was, in the eyenf the law, in nocent, hut now that he has been convicted'ef one of the most barbarous murders recorded in the annals of crime, an attempt is made by the very Journals who heaped coals of fire on his head, to excite a sympathy for his fate.

Extraordinary attention is eidited by'thelaw respect- ing the Roman Catholic . churches and scheols - , .which has been lately passed by:the' Legislative Assembly of Saxe Weimar, sanctioned by the Giand Duke, and regu larly published. The principal points of this new law are, " That the GrandDuice reserves to himself all the' right of Sovereignty over the Roman Catholic churches; l i that a commission is especially charged to take care of the rights of the State ; that no Papal brief, no Ar chiepiscopal or episcOpal ordinance, can be published till it has previously received the approbation of the Government; that complaints respecting the exercise of ecclesiastical authority shall be directly made known to the Government; that no applicatiOn shall be made' to tlae Pope, except on .affairs of the church; that -the procession . at Weimar; Jena, Ste. shall not take place ex cept within the ,chittches; that the processions of Ca tholics of other Statet, shall never enter into the territory tithe:Grand Duchy ; :hat the right of seeking an asylum in theltomanCathilie church abolished ;that the fund, of the Catholic Chutches shall not be sent abroad ; that none but natives Of the Grisnt Duchy shalt be appointed Parish Priests or Prelates; 'that the Grand 'Duke -ap points all the Priests where he has hitherto 'exercised the right of collation; that the others shall be appointed by the Rishops, after obtaining the approbation of the Government; that the Priests, being at the same time Catholic teachers,' are citizens of the Grand Duchy, subject to the laws of the country, and amenable to the ordinary tribunals ; that all laws relative to chi itten ings, births, and burials, are binding on the Catholic churches; that Catholic Priests cannot refuse to cause crate marriages between persons of „different religiou s persuasions, under the pretext that one of the parties will not consent that the issue of the marriage shall be educated in the Catholic religion ; that Priests or others who arc suspected of using their influenee CO make proselytes shall be called:to account before the tribunals. • The Vend' rapers of Friday have reached us. If we may credit them, great efforts are making in Spain to replace the Constitutional at y; by . another more at. tached to the restored Government ; hitt until the Trea sury at Madiid becomes better furnished than it is at, present, all such attempts' must prove abortive. The new Minister, the Marquis of CASA talk°, continued indisposed, and the portefeuille of his department is, eel interim, confided to M. HCEREDIA, while Don Vic ron SA= remains at Madrid, waiting, no doubt, for any change that may restore him to his situation of Minister and Confessor to the KING. The r report in the American Papers of a closer alli ance between this country and the United States, for the purpose of resisting any' attempts the Holy Alliance may meditate against the independence of South Anie rica, has made the French Journalists very pacific.— " We are not in the secrets of the Cabinets," says the Journal des Debuts, " and we know not how far this news may be false or true; but we do know, that in waging war there most be at least two belligerent pax ties. Now, as we perceive the Continent perfectly. tran quil, and can find nobody who thik;ks of warlike' ex plOits, the United States may have the trifling pleasure, if they desire it, of parading their fleets in triumfih Over seas in which they will meet with none but Wends: . The following is the Spanish Ordonnance for remo delling the army CIRCULAIOOF FITE MINISTER OF WAR. Conformably to the report of the Duke de l'lnfantado, Lieutenant-General of the Royal Armies, on the mode to be followed speedily to effect the re-orgauization and completion of the Royal Guard, the King has resolved as follows : 1. Before pMceeding to a general enrolment for my army, those men shall be admitted to serve in my Royal Gnard who shall velun_ wily offer for that purpose, and who shall possess the qualifications here below enumerated. 2.. The recruit who shall offer to serve in my Royal Gurad shall not be under I 1 3, nor above 30 years of age; - his stature at least five feet three inches, his constitution healthy and robust, and without any bodily defet. . 3. No one can be admitted who has been proceeded against by justice, if he is of infamous extraction, and if he has voluntarily served, in any quality whatever, under the pretended Constitutional system. - 1 4. Individuals may be admitted into my Guard, who, having served in my Armies, before the establishment of the Constitution, have continued to serve under the illegal Government; provided, however, and on the express condition, that they have not borne ,etas against the Royalist and allied troops, that tbey have not taken part in any public disorder, that they have giveb proofs of good con duct, and that they answer to the condition in No. 2. 5.

The Commanders, Officers, and all others who shall be ap pliede* for information, fur the admission of individuals into my Guard, and who shall omit any important circumstances, shall be miiiscinsible for the consequences of such omissions. That' those who wish to enter my Guard may be able to make' • - their application without being ohliged"to come to my capital, the Commandant-General of my Guard shall form corps of recruitswhere he shall think fit, and shall give them the necessary instructions. 8.

The ;amount of petuniary relief to be expected fi om the commercial body may be pretty clearly anticipated from the picture we have just given-of their situation : and as to the Clergy, when the plan was laid before them, they are said to have expressed their utter inca pacity, mitigated, however, by protestations of great zeal, to furnish any aid that would be at all equal to the emergency., The sentiments of the Nobility, could they be ascertained, would not, in all probability, prove a jot more patriotic. We are not surprised therefore, at the anxiety manifested by the Ministers to resign, or at the difficulty to find persons of the least respectability to re place them. This is the first consequence of the counter revolution: the system which has sprung out of it has made the State a bankrupt, without any prospect, either immediate or remote, of emerging from its insolvency., Yet the G , .vernment, ,we are told, is busily occup i edl with the re-organization of the Army, whicb is.to be, raised to 60,000 men!
