TEsommimli SP4Nlall WIERICA . . . ~.......... . . The accounts from South America' are Al:sting. The war 11.4 s assumed a character of ferocity and bru. talag hardly poisible to be conceived. We subjoin an cattect df a letter on this subject : • ST. THONI.O'S,IWAt N, 11115. " On Mr arrival here I found more than five hun dred eliiigranti from Venezuela, and the scenes of borret and barbarous treatment they have experienced make the hair standon end. The Spanish brigands, IS'wet, Morales,. Zoarola, Cereesi, and others, have not been satisfied with killing men, women, and chl dreii—they have refilled on cruelty in a manner wor thy of the ancient conquerors of Mexico and Peru. Several regnant women have been tipped open; in rds4 to exterminate the race of the independents. Se vvrAl were tied to trees, their arms raise.d above their heads, and in this attitude they were killed by blows, and their arms were cut off, and left hanging in the• form of a cross CR the trees. After the cannon had n fit eel, and were still burning hot,. these miserable te,bple staked were bound upon them, and heat to deaths some amused themselretin stripping off half the skin of the face, the breasi, or the soles rif the feet. These Victims were then forced to walk over the shaip stones. Doves has establ.shed as the order of the clay of his army (composed of Zambos b:long ing to Los Lianos, a barbarous rate, managing t:.! I.•Ece and horse with great dexterity) that every thing was allowed to them, provided, they were always ready to fight ; and consecpently, these savages,• for their amusement, massacred the defenceless inh tbi• pants, cut off their ears, and carried away whatever ptoperty they could seise. Women and young ladies .1 rank were forced away and cqntined to their • camps in order to satisfy thew brutal passions, even at these scenes their parentt were forced to attend. and after w irds frequently murdered. The whole of the pro vinces present the aspect 9f one general tomb. Eu. • rope ought, to be informed of these horrors. The compassion of the civilized powers must come in to t';e aid of this interesting portion of the globe. Ah! England, this is the country thou halt so often invi ted to a participation of those just rights which form the inheritance of all men, examine whether the Maims of Spanish .Ansetica have exceeded the boUnds of reason and justice, before thou thus turnest thy aback on the present victims of thy past pledges !"

SIDNEY Slll . llll Ti lii i OONOKEsB AT VIENNA. At a time when the means of effecting the abo lition of the Slave Trade on. the western coast of Africa are writer discussionwhen civilized Europe is straining every nerve to extend the benefits of com merce, as well as those fur the security of person and prclprmy in the Interior of that vast Continent, puapied by a race of men. who are mild, industrious, and capable of enjoying the advantages of civiriza tion in the highest degree, it is matter of astonish ' went that no attention ts paid to the northern coast of . She. sami.juaiter of the 'globe, inhabilW by Turkish pirates. who Lit only oppress the natives in ihrir vicinity, hut trepan and buy them as dAves. to y them in veEttiS fitted nut as privateers, for the purpose of teasing honest cultivatins from their lire-sides, and peadeable iirhabitants from the shores • pf Europe. Phis abominable system of robbery is not only revolting to lrnanity. but operates as a very formidable restraint opoa commerce, as no ma riner oan navigate at the present day the Mediterra. Ps•an, or even the Atlantic, in a merchant vessel, wit'.out the dread and the liability of being taken by the pirates, anti carried as a slave into Africa. • " Toe Government of Algiers is cOmposed of the 0:11cas of an ens; or regiment of Janizaries, a re bellioor soldiery, who do not, even in appearance, ac -knowledge Or uthocity ot Cie Ottoman Pate, which, however, does not recognize their independence. • 44 The bey is always the ORl:er most distinguished among them for cruelty. He bolls hit situation at site head of the Divan or Regency, by enriching his associates ; that is to say, by permitting them to in• eirige in every sort of violence in Africa, and to cur y on a piratical warfare on the seas agaioSt the to:ALI- Sc rtes of Europe, or those whose immediate • . vengeance is not dreaded. The Ottom.m flag even is not sufficient to pro- Icct its Greek subjects, and.to secure them from the attacks ot the Aigetine corsairs. The I)ey,'not long . ago, either in 'a ht of cruelty, or actuated by some barb irons•scheme of policy, tilt object of which was Lea destroy the commerce of his rivals of Tunis and Tripoli, ordered the crews of several vessels from the Archipelago' and Egypt, laden with gitain, to be • banged. '1 lie Bashaw of Egypt, in revenge, caused 11 the Aigeriues in his States to he ;arrested, and in vain claims the restitution of the carpel uujostly the Dey of Algiers. Outman Porte beholds with jealousy and Indignation a rebellious vassal daring to perpetrate the most ouirageous• end atrocious acts against her ret r aceable subjects, and to impose shackles on that trade of ulna, this Govetement stands in greater heed than ever, for the purpose of paying the troops pi the Bashaws employed on the Easters frontier of the 0 toman Empire, to carry on the war against the Wechabites and the other numerous Afabian tribes , who, tinder. tic influence of these sectaties, are inces aanily threatening, by aggressions, the very existence of that tottering Government. 4. On the other hand, Europe has an interest in up- Lotilig the Ottoman GovernOsent, both as a recog . bleed autocsacy, and as a Power that can restrain the revolted Dashaws and Beys, and prevent them from x.nimitting robberies on the seas. This interest ot stripe becomes still more obvious :tad important' from the necessity under . ahiCh she Yrecrently is of imparting coin from the Black Sea or from the Nile, whei.ce a surplus proditee may always be derived, ' prOvisied an unfavourable season in the northern parts ot the Ottoman territory be regularly counter- I hathfeJ in the same year by a favourable season in the booth, and tic's tem. sfs • 4 , 4 Now, it a Barbarian, calling himself an inde pendent Prince, though not recognisea as such by the gultan.'his legitimate Sovereign, can. at pleasure, peac.e, terrify, and wake prisoners of the Greeks and the vessels of small European States, wimp atom carry on a trade which the ships, of great Powers . do not find sufficiently advantageous-to pursue, be cause they cannot do is at so low an expense—it that audacious Chief of pirates may, when he shall think fit, intercept cargoes of grain destined for Eurcree, the civilised nations am, by this capricious act, under the controul of a Chief of robbers, who have it in their taleeer to aggravate their sufferings and even. tualiy to starve them in a season of scarcity. 46 The Barbarian. liketrise possesses formidable means of extorting money from Christian Princes : he threatens them, as he recently did with respect. to Sicily, to put to death such of their subjects as have fallen into his power ; his well known cruelty ren• &Tit these menaces very formidable, becomes in his hand an engine for extorting moire from one Chris tian Prince to carry on the war which be declares against* another. In this manner he can lay all Eu- rope under contribution, and compel each in his torn to pay tribute to his ferocity, by purchasing from him peace, and the lives of the unfortunate slaves. e 44 It is superfluous to sheer that such a 'rote of things is not oniy monstrous but absurd; and that it is not less outrageous to religion than it is to huma nity and honour. .; The progress of. knowledge and Pf civilization ought necessarily to effect the suppression of such abominable practices. 1 4 It is evident that the military means hitherto employed by the Christian Princes to bold the B tr. bary States in check, have been not only inadequate to the purpose, but have generallz had the effect of consolidating.more and mote the dangerous power of these barbarians. - - - 41 -Europe seemed for a long time to place her de. pendence upon the gallantry of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, and did not consider that this Order of Knights has not had in these later times either sufficient power or perhaps su ffi cient energy, to counterbalance and repel the ever increasing aggres sions of these hordes of pirates. Besides, the Order of Malta being, by its institution, plaihibited from en tering into negociations with infidels, could not avail itself of all the resources of policy by entering into treaties of alliance with those ::round them, who are themselves rather the passive eictims of the piratical system than active co-operators ; as, for example Tunis and Morocco, both governed by Princes born in these States, and have long shewn themselves to be well disposed and capable of maintaining, with Eu ropean Powers, the relations of commerce and friendship. " It is therefore obvious, that the resurrection of that Older, alter the political suicide of which it has been guilty, would not alone be sufficient to accom plish the object in view. This laudable object is to secure Europe fur ever from the outrages of the Afri. can corsairs, and to cause Governments favourable to commerce, and in peace and amity with.all civi lized nations, to succeed to States necessarily pirati cal ever since the days of Barbarossa. " What are the means to be c mployed to accomplish this desirable object ? The undersigned would wish that he could prevail upon all Europe to participate in his Conviction—the result of tOirty years close study and iavestigation. He aid not caas:•, during his Ministry at 'he Ottoman Parte, to employ him self MUM the subject sr/I*h he .now treats; it en. .. R aged his sietaistion in the evep wed in dui be ts of the same Power, and daring the whole course of his well-known intercourse with the nations and tribes of Africa and of Asia. 66 This firm conviction of the possibility of crush ing the system of robbery and outrage acted upon by the Barbary States, cannot be b. tier proved than by the offer which he m ekes of uuchtaking the direc tion of the expedition, provided the necessary means be put at his disposal. Animated by the recollection of his oaths of knighthood, and being anxious to excite the SAM ardour in other Christian Knights, he proposes to the nations most interested in the success of this noble enterprise, to engage themselves by it treaty to furnish their respective contingents of a maritime, or as it may be called, an , amphi:eout force, wlsich, without compromising any flag, and ss idiom being influenced by wars, or any political clisis incident to nations, shall constantly guard the 'shores of the Me diterranean, and have the important duty of watch- ing, stopping, and following all the pirates, both on the seas and on land. This power, recogeised and protected by all Europe, would net only render com merce perfectly secure, but would eventually eivilitte the coasts of Atric 1, by prohibiting the inhabitants from continuing their piratical depredations, to the prejudice of industry and lawful commerce. This protecting and imposing &rec. should begin by a rigorous blockade of the, naval forces of the barbariafts,, wheresoever they can be found. At the same time, the Ambassadors of all the Sovereigns and States of Christendom ought 'mutually tit support each other in- representing to the Ottoman Court that it must be held responsible for the hostile acts of its subjects, if it ;hall continue to permit recruiting. in its States for the garrisons of Aflica, which garrisons will be of no use, as these lovers would he-better employed against its enemies than against European friendly Hewers; and by exacting from the Poste a formal disavowal, and an authentic interdiction of the wars which those 'rebel Chiefs declare against Europe. tt The Ottoman Court might be engaged tr. give promotion and rewards to those among the Janitaries, Captains of frigates, and other Algerine sailors, who would obey the injunction of the Sultan, and thus the lies would • soon find himself abandoned, and without the means 'of annoyance or defence. " The same influence might be used more effectu ally at Tunis, as that country is at warwith Algiers, from which it has really every thing to fear. Besides, the head of the Tunisian Government is of a quite opposite nature to that of Algiers. It would vole's , tartly cool crate in ally measure tending to civilise the State, and promote the prosperity of the empire. The race between Timis and Sardinia, which has suffered so much Irons the trepanning of her subjects, ought to form the first link of the chain, and from this moment nothing ought to be neglected to com plete it. " The ulterior details will he easily developed, when the Sovereigns shall have adopted the principle, and when they shall deign to, grant to the nailer signed their confidence and theit authisrity, which are requisite for the success of the entereriati.
