" Trade is here very dufl; the (estanes) monopoly of' spirits; wine, and tobacco, has ruined the bu.iness of many of the English residents, who, with their families, are proceeding to Peru. The country is in a very un settled state. The Members for a New Congress have been elected ; they will meet in September ; little, how. ever, is expected from it ; there is not a sufficiency of men of talent in the country to form a Legislative Bedy worthy of the name of a Congress, or capable of any thing worthy the name of Legislation. C.'quimbo in the north, and Conception in the south, have, in a man 'ner, declared therrrtelves independent, and thus d;s union, even in this thinly pe.,pled country, prevails: no good can come from this, Fieyre, the Supreme Di rector, persists in keeping up a large military force, commanded by foreigners, principally Fren.limen, and tl;ey are, "f course, both dre ided and detested: Several skirmishes have taken place lately, between the troops and the clizens, and some lives have been lost. Go vernment has lost the little credit it hid, and its paperi is at.a discount of SP-per cent. Ever since the depar-, sure of Lord Cochrane, the N ivy has been going to• decay, and yesterday the Officers and men' were sent his shore, and the ships pot inordinarY. The Naval' Officers- ate principally Englishmen and North Arne ' ricans ;many of thern.hatve been in the service since the first attempt to form a naval force, so n after the Re voluti ; they ate all now turned adrift, without pay ment either of their arrears of wages or of the prize money due to them, and with no sort of provision whrever being made, or intended to be made for them.

The following document is the declaration of inde• pendence of the Provinces of Upper Peru. The pre amble to the declaration displays the wrongs Upper Peru has suffered from the sway of the Spaniards. • DECLARATION. " The Sovereign Representation of the provinces of Upper Peru, profoundly penetrated with the grandeur and immense weight of i:s responsibility before Heaven and Earth, in the act of pronouncing on the future lot of its constituents, laying down on the altar of justice all spirit of partiality, interest, and private views, havidq implored, full of submission and respectful ardour, the• paternal assistance of the Holy CREATI)R of the world, and tranquil in the assurance of its conscience as to the good faith, justice, Moderation,and profound meditations which have presided over. the present resolution, declares solemnly, in the name and by the absolute power of its worthy electors, that the eventful day has arrived in which the unalterable and ardent vow* of Upper Peru, to emancipate itself from the unjust, oppres sive, and miserable power of King Ferdinand the Seventh, a thousand times strengthened by the blood of her sons, are accomplished with the present solemnity arid authenticity, and that the degrading condition of a colony of Spa.n ceases for this privileged region, together with all dependence, as well on that country as on its present or future Monarchs; that in conse quence, and that it being at the same time for the in terest of the said region not to be associated to any of the neighbouring Republ•cs, it is erected into a Sove reign State, independent of all nations, as well of the old as of the new world. And the departments of Upper Peru, firm and unanimous in this so just and mignanimous a resolution, protest, in the face of the whole earth, that their irrevocable will is to be governed by themselves, and to be directed by the constitution, laws, and anther i ties, which they may give themselves, and believe most conducive to their felicity in the rank of nations, and to the unalterable support of their holy Catholic religion, and of the sacred rights of honour, life, liberty, equality, property, and security. And for the invariableness and firmness of this resolution they bind themselves, and promise, by means of this sovereign representation, to maintain it so firmly, constantly, and heroically, that in ease or necessity they will consecrate with pleasure to its fulfilment, defence, and unchangeability, life itself, as • well as their possessions, and everything that is dear to men. Let it be printed, and communicated to whom soever it concerns, by its publication and circulation. " Given in the Hall of Session, 6th August, 1825... [Here follow the signatures of the Deputies for Charm, La Paz, Cochabamba, Potosi, and Santa Cruz]. FIRE AT MIRAMICHI. The following speech, which is extracted from the Neto Brunswick Royal Gazelle of October '25, was de livered by his Excellency the Governor, at a meeting of the inhabitants of Fredericton, which he convened on the eve of his departure for Miramichi, personally to inspect the state of the settlements on that river and direct the application of such succours as he bad been able, with the zealous co-operation of the inhabitants of th• province, to raise : " The last meeting was called to devise measures and raise funds for the relief of those persons who bad suffered loss in the late calamitous fire, and this was done, impressed with thankfulness to ALMIGHTY GOD, that however great that calamity was, it had been assigned limits to by his merciful interposition, which have left some persons with means sufficient to assist others in those cal 'mities which the menacing aspect of the woods and of the atmosphere portended. When I suggested this provision and purpose, I anticipated not that such claims to both. were so near or so awful, but it has pleased GOD that the desolation we lure suffered has been driven with terrific fury elsewhere. The destructive element which has caused such devas tation in these parts of the province, has been extended widely and terrifically by the gale which was expe rienced here, and by which the mighty action more extensively mud rapidly increasing, dilated, as it pro ceeJed, to a most impetuous hurricane. Thus th.: en raged *smiles, axtiag upon and exciting_ each other, burst in a flood of flame upon the .deioted settlements on the Miramichi river, and have occasioned:nin e de solation, death, and misery, where late I witnessed 'prosperity, plenty, and comfort. In that tows is now laid in ashes, I placed under the foundation of a Sacred edifice about to he raised, the inscriptions and • the coins, which were, I fondly hopel, to tooto 'remote ages how lo ng t h at edifi ce h a d stood, s nits town had flourished; what a lesson this to presumption, what a subject for thankfulness and benevolence and ikarity. In other parts of the province too, less remote from the seat or Governme n t, • di sastrous eiects, from the same n c d au ;t h , e have itou e b b eeigl mnih, s produced ; And on the Oro imoc tributaries of the twat *a which you live, cases if the deepest distress ca!l for succour and comfort. " When I first received the melancholy account of theilP calamities, I was d.irous that .is subscription should be raised h re, in addition An what has already bein dore ; but, fearful to press upon the distresses which were then so recent, and doubtful whether they could be so soon .relieved, I sent a considerable ;remit tance from the King's revenue, and my.own funds, to the site of the greater calamity; and by and with the advice of his Majesty's 'Council, who. deeply afferited by the awful calamity, concurred with me as to the necessity of adopting .eff coral arrangements for imme diate rtlief, proceeded with other measures, which will convey in a very few days to Miiamichi, succours to the extent of five or six thousand pounds.. Means suf ficient for immediate relief being thus pievided by the • abundant good feeling, benevolence, and charityi which have manifested themselves in our own and in our sister province on this melankholy occasion, I revert to the reserved purpose of endeavouring to procure provisions fitr more remote relief, in restoring and relieving what this calamity has levelled and ruined, by is general Rind, which I trust will be raised to relieve those cases of greatest distress, namely, persons of a condition w,hich compels them to endure their miseries silently tpiongh severely, to re-establish in business many persons who have entirely lost their little capitals invested in the beginnings of a productive trate, in the prosperite of which the mother countries participa•es to aid and to contribute to the rebuilding of habitations in the towns, in a way which I hope the Legislature will en force, to prevent recurrence of like dangers, but which could it a be effected if the sufferers are constrained, from insufficiency of means, to ri construct their esta blishments in the cheaper, but more rerilous manner and material of the country. " To this fund, part of which should be immediately remitted for the use of your unfortunate fellow sufferers (for the destruct io of so much provision and stores outs it out of cur power to send aid in kind), I shall contii .huteArther from my pri Tate purse, in addition to what I have already given, and I shall crave his Majesty's liberality from his provincial fund, in aid ; and h iving thus done al! in my power, for immediate and prospec tive relief and b restoration, I am about to proceed to the seat of greater calamity, thee may be under no uncer tainty as to thesufficiency or means, ere the rigours Of winter add to the 'severity of the catastrophe. • " What good I may be able to elfeet there, I know next; but obey the impulses of feelings, sod a wow of duty, which tell me, that where the people are in calamitous difileuhlea that admit of alleviation, which by any" potability may be within his power, there the Governor ought to be,“ The following letter from &lajor•Oeneral Sir Howard Douglas, Bart. Lieutenant-GAreroor of New Brunswick, to John Bainbridge, Esq. agent for that province, and which, though a private communicatioo, Mr. Bain. bridge, at the request of the New B:unswick Commit tee, has felt himself excused in *publishing, will convey a more authentic and interesting account of the suffer lags of that devoted colony, and, we trust, excite the benevolence of the public to aid.the subicripticia for their reliefs—. " bliranstebi, 26th October. uMY DEAR SIR—I have no doubt that the public journals will soon announce the awful calamity which has befallen the erovince. I have not time to enter into any of its terrific details. I shall eonftne my communi cation to purposes of succour and relief. " So soon as I had completed those liffmgements which I considered it proper for the fi,oempnent to make, and had dispatched an agent to Clutha' to pur chase provisions and clothing to the amount of between five and sir thousand pounds, I set off for this afflicted place, where I arrived last night; and I shall only say, chit I could form no conception of misery and desola tion so deep as that which has occurred here; other parts of the province have greatly suffered. Fredericton is more than half destroyed, and there has been a loss of proper y to a great amount. o My Government-house was the first to fall, and we have sustained severe loss; but in the greater which others have suffered, we lose all consideration of our own. Here the loss of li:e cannot be estimated .under three hundred persons!! Newcastle, and all the settle ments for twelve miles in continuity, are consumed.— The subscriptions in the province and in Nova Scotia, have been most liberal, and I hope there is notbjng to fear for want in the *inter; but effectual succour is be yond such means ; and I write this to urge all your ir.- fluence into action for promoting a general subscription. Your influence with the leading men in Liverpool, and other ports, as well as in London, would be most useful to this effect, and pever was there a fitter or stronger claim upon the abundant charity and benevolence of our country. " Although we may arrest the strides which famine threatened to make, and afford immediate relief; yet, without such succours, this country will be thrown back for years in tne progress it was making, and the mother country feel inconvenience from langour in those overa. tions which her wants have iscited so much. " But you will be fully informed of all that has oc. curred here, and the measure I allude to will be Sug gested by your own feelings for the case and for the Colony. Pray, then, do what you mry consiler right in this very afflicting case. My letter is %written in haste and affliction, amidst scenes *lnch I have consi. dered it right to visit, to do what may yet further be in my power to comfort, succour and restbre. I . cannot stay long, for the weather I have experienced on my journey hither warns me to lose no time. Believe me, my dear Sir, yours, very sincerely (Signed) BOIA4D LrOl.
