Santiago Liniert, and the Bishop of that city, has issued circular letters to all the Governments and Cabildos, with a View of producing a rupture betiveen this capital and the other towns of the provinces. • This rash and imprudent man, ignorant of the legal principles on which the new system is founded, prefers a general dissolution of the state to any innovation which may put an end to the oppression resulting from the ignorance and ineffici ency of certain authorities of the old system, and iden tifying the rights of the King with the usurpations of the individual, endeavours that the ruin of the states may precede the termination of those grievances which have had the effect of drawing tears and pro clamations from the Council of Regency, which re sides in Cadiz. The Junta does not believe that your Excellency will give any aid to a seduction so crimi nal, nor that you will look with indifference on the in= ternal and external dangers that threaten us. While we all obey the same thing, it is the greatest of all crimes to endeavour to effect divisiolis and war, from the personal views of a Goyernor, who, from his insatiable love of place, is excited to every measure capable of endangering the safety of the State. It is shameful for thii high Officer that he looks for the only rule of his conduct in his own personal' conveni ency, aad th at he endeaiours to involve in incalcula ble inisibhiines this valuable portion . of the . Xing'ir dominions for chimerical risks, to which an extraordi nary effort to prevent them can only give reality. The 'Junta is determined by effective measures .to restore to a sense of their duty the testiest and disaf fected, who aim at the division of these states,. which would at this moment prove so dangerous. It will. prosecute them with rigour, slnd make an exemplary punishment, to repress and 'deter the ill-disposed ; but seeing it their duty to Make all the weight of the ex• pence and calamity 'resulting from these resolutions fall on those that have occasioned them, they have thought it prOper to address this last.notice, hoping, froin your Excellency's zeal for the rights of the King i.nd the welfare of the State, you will make it suffi ciently known in the district over which you. preside, 'hat no ore may alledge ignorance of it; informing yc.ur Excellency at tne same time, that though the grounds already published sufficiently justify the prin. ciple and ends of the installation of this-Junta, secret correspondences will soon he published, that are now in the poscessi.n of Government, and at the sight of which, whoever are true-subjects of King Ferdinand, must tremble with apprehension.—Goa preserve, &c.- June 27. : ,; Note l.—Similar notice has been sent to , the GOUT nor of Cordow, containieg in it also the accounts Lithe to the e,..pences which he caused the treasuri l and the disasters that were occasioned by the discord that he fomented. • - Note 2.—The Junta of this city have obserVe4 with pleasure, the cities of Salta Tucaman, iujui San tiago del Estero, and all the parts of the independency of Salta, the Province of Cuyo, and Raxada del .

HENN TO THE ABOVE. • I feel extremely flattered by the manner in which your Excellency has written to me in your letter of the 6th instant, relative to the insult which I received from um English soldier serving in your army, who, *I am persuaded, is one of those dastardly cowards, Who d. serted tram the Englisk army in this country, ,-while Great Britain was•at war with Spain. The in dividnal to ,shun I allude, wail seen by p. Jnan Ler fee, who rust have observed that his conduct, as a eaaitinel, was oisorderly, and inconsistent with mill , • tart' distittne, bona his disrespect to an indiViauel of your exec lent Junta in_the person of D. Juan Lure& With respect to myself personally, the punishment. of this man is of very little consequence, but I think it more necessary in order that his example may prevent , similar occurrences in future. At all events it is for your Excellency to determine what is proper to be done. 1 sh all * therefore observe only, that many Of. ficers and subjects of his Britannic Majesty have been frequently insulted, and their lives threatened, by persons of the description of this man, of whom I complain. cannot conclude thisletter without expressing my sincere desire that your , Excellency will not permit deserters from the English army to come on board ships belonging to his Britannic Majesty, because it is . deemed an insult to Great Britain to have men who have been traitors to her, sent armed as soldiers on board ships carrying her flag.

It appeared in the course of his trial, that he had been expelled - from France in 1802, from Russia, in September 180.5, that he then went to England, from whence he was again cast upon the " j Continent, towards the end of May, 1807.

May y. A t the same time the French Papers, upon the most authen- L tic information, put the public on their guard against -the artifices of this-person, who was they considered only as a vile cheat. - But soon Changing his disguise and his names, he attempted imposaions'of a more serious kind, Which even touched upon high treason. `fort pursnatice of these designs, he wrote from Frank - I fort and Hanati to various Sovereigns, under diffe- I sent names, on the Bth and 9th of May, and 'he sth and 'Atli of June.

An Imperial Decree, of the 10th August, has or dered the repayment of the Public Debt of the Roman States, the interest on which amounts to 2,500,000 francs.
