BAT HURST Tait Town for *boot a fortoight. SOUI4I AMERICA. By the Speedy packet, which reached Falmouth on Monday from the Breads, we have received accounts from that quarter to the 29th of January. These. with the papers from General Bouvaa's head-quar ters, and the letters from St. Thomas's, the latter to the 26th of February inclusive, bring down the ac counts respecting the war in South America, to the middle of February. The details now before us wear a very different complexion from some of the accounts which have lately been received through the medium of the Ja maica Papers. In fact every artifice is employed by the Royalist party to disguise the truth, by magnify ing the most trivial advantages into absolute annihi lations of the Independent' forces, converting flights before their pursuers into mere changes of position, sad even defeats into victories. There may. it is true, be also some favourable colouring in the ac counts published by the Patriots ; but they have this in support of their general accuracy—that, frequently after the Royalist Commanders have drawn and quartered the Generals of the adverse army. dis persed their followers, and published t'le intelligence officially, we find the' dead men still able to face their destroyers, and the mended frailest able to furnish ac- countsot their own operations against their oppressors. In truth the Royalists have gained, no solid ad vantages; for since the commencement of this contest for emancipation, the range for their marauding ex cursiots has rather been limited than extended, their armies have bren diminished in numbers, the rein forcements have been worn out and need to be re plenished ; while the general strength and resources of the insurgents, both by land and sea, have been in creased. In a conflict of this kind, protraction is ruin to the invader—to the Power which recruits at a distance from the scene of action s nay more—not 'to be decidedly victorious, is to be absolutely de feated and ruined. But bow much is the truth of these positions forth= fied when the character and circumstances of the. Power that would tyrannize, indicate moral and phy. sical decay—only a tolerated existence ? When, at home, she is so weak as to be unable to repel aggression without the aid of other Powers; and her procedure towards her own children possesses every character opposite to justice and paternal t►ffection ? That any Journalists in this country should be found capable of advocating the cause of the Mother Country is wonderful; but, happily for the future hopes of the oppressed, the battles by which they mean to break their chains in pieces will produce their natural results in spite of any attempts that may be made to disguise them in hireling Journals. BULLETIN ovine LIBERATING ARMY, No. 1. ' " The samerpanals Army, under the command of Brigadier. General RSAL. Which had been organized in Ottawa sad CM ;same's, and composed of European Spanish troops to the number of 'Moo men, the day before yesterday formed a junction with the dictate's of CLAll,rs, In the neighbourhood of %neat.

The Spanish reserve baked within manes Ire of me posts, but, drawn os by a braie detachment of owalry and in fantry that was pushed forward with a view to entangle them, the Spaajards pursued tin they were within half musket shot of our line. A warm engagement than commented, asd lasted for dam hours, with saly 300 of eta Wintry, which returnee a beak and well directed Bre, when in this quarter the enemy lost more than half of his troops engaged. The Spanish reserve Miss routed, sOO men belonging to the battalion al MArgerka, miler the command of the brave leader, Picas, dislodged the enemy from this part of the City, and compelled him to re-cross the river. Oa taking possession of the bead of the bridge, this heroic (Aker met with his death. Orders were then given for this small corps of IVlargarkesiass to fall book on our resided. is Our troops, without advancing, sod merely by keeping up a good fire on the above Spanish solemn, canted It to By in a shameful manner, and without returning a single shot in its re treat ; but at the elms that our cavalry and infantry were about to march to condone the permit, the Spanish division of CLA• sines, 700 strong, which bad entered on the south-side of the I City, and penetrated as far as the principal square, and re-occu pied the bridge, asads its appearance, when our people turned about and dislodged the whole, following them front home to house. This operation lasted till 'sear night, notwithstanding it was emoted with the greatest rapidity and valour.

" Two days after the above battle, the patriot General bla unis arrived at &radon% with newly snots awn, leaving Gole ta! !diatheses charged to follow up the siege of Camas, whilst be himself proceeded en rapidly to strengthen General beiciven. The latter was preparing instantly to march on Caracas, by pen gulag the route of the sea shore, whilst at the same dine the divi sion of the plaice, which we suppose is coosmaaded by General ,Aawatsrsy Wall proceeding by the interior towards Victoria. By this dew we eonatder the &Alai which has pushed on Nast ways to be very near Caracas, for-we know of no body of Spa ebb troops capable of stopping ltd web for a moment. Neither wits there any in the plains, but CALSAIDA and GOR RIX may have joined, sod possibly may bare arrived in time to oppose General Amman'', though for this object it appears they have not suffi cient troops. We are now on the eve of a great event, which every thing announces win be in our f . Nevertheless, in ads species of warfare we see such extraordinary things, that no positive assurances an be given tin all baa been achieved. A brig of 14 guns and 140 men, and a schooner with one it-powder mid.htps on a slide, and four deck guns lind SO men, vessels well known in these seas by the prizes they have made under the Buenos Ayres Bag, have joined our squadron as auzUlaries. " limas various quarters we have received faftwination that SOO Royalists, with their arms and officers, in Guayana, have gone over to General PIAIIOI division, which by this time must be In the plains. k was expected that the Caracas Gazette would announce his change of destination as the effect of a de feat, and so has It happened. This Gazette, by the official lies it has constantly been in the habits of publishing with a view to &sinks the real state of things to the people, has now lost Ice credit so muck that In Caracas itself it maces for this paper to Insert any occurrences in a way favourable to the Spaniards, for them to be viewed as absolute disasters. • e Even the news derived from official reports is not only glen. sed over and 'liberated, but facts are sompletely misrepreeented and &stinted; as happened with the dispatch hi which MooAtts described the battle of Junstaii The private duplicate be was sending out to the Commander in chief, by sr", was intercepted by us, and in it he confesses his defeat, which the Carat:al Ossetic =natters as a sweat of both armies, after that of the Indepen dents haring suffered the greaten Ins% Thus it Is the Relating resort to all hinds of delusive tricks to keep up the teputation of their arms, and hide the paucity of their means, bat the day of just retribution is at hand, when they and their partizans will be undeceived. " At ibis ruoinent the schooner Rose, Captain loom Na ev olve too Into, has arrived from La Gotta, which place she left as the 15th Inst. she brings Spanish Gazettes to the 12th.— It is evident from the materna of these papers (of which, if the Pocket only allows time, extracts shall be forwarded), that the Government is drives to its last shift, and filled with appreben • sloes it would fain conceal. The Ratalocian passengers who have arrived in her, say, that on ►er departure they heard it reported that a boot bad arrived down the elver Tuy, bringing Information to the 10th, when it was said reload/am had occupied Barcelona, after destroying the whole door troops, sad killing the three Generals, ARISIARSIDI, MARINO, Sad BOLIVAR, and putting all theinhabltants to the sword. Such a piece of information would indeed have alarmed us, if we had not received accounts from Margot** of the leak and even from Barcelona of the 11th, at which time MARINO had just arrived, and all were preparing in. I want, to march on Caracas. "As REAL. WAIT Wh Off orders MORA LBO sets, occupied Barcelona for nearly a day, and actually fell into tie trap bid for him, it is not strange that be should have !ulna, sent off an express, announcing that the independents who had (zoned the river were flying, and that thirst win remained in die Convent of St. yratris, not baying bad time to escape, would all perish or be made prisoner& The Spaniards, however, omitted the tail of the affair, and this lame piece of news will be celebrated as a victory; air Extraordinary Gazette will be published; and vary possibly the people will be still In the Wasiak of BOLWA I being destroyed, when they hear he has reached the very walls of Ca racas. With regard to ARISM suns, It Is bnpo4le, sine he was in Chaparro on the 9th, that he could have been Wiled on the loth In Barcelona. Although this nets deserves no credit whit• ever, these observations are nevertheless made with a view to prevent the information arriving direct from Caracas dough Ja maica br other places, from spreading that some &lesion width on tuber occasions has been practised by the Spaniards."

The Earl el Masserato has lately rent orders to give employment to an additional number of labourers ea his estates in the neighbourhood of Perth. Saturday being the night on which it was under stood that Mr. kamacs was to take his leave of the Edinburgh audience, all the passages to the Theatre were thronged at an early hour, and when the doors were opened, the house was instantly crowded in every part, after a severe crush. The play was Mac kit's, and Mr. Kastate never performed with mere vigour and spirit. The applause' were incessant. Alter the play Mr. K/2111LX came forward and spoke a farewell address; which was received with loud cheering, and with every demonstration of the warm est applause. M.

East Lothian, in celebration of the birth of a daughter by the Marchioness of TWILEDDALL The t. nautry the extensive estates belonging to her Noble Lusb.oul, and situate within East Lothian and Lauderdale, a:- sembled at the village of Giffard, in the imme.iiate vicinity of Yester House, where they had a mc.t sumptuous dinner ; and after . spending the aftetnii:n in the most cordial and happy manner, the Gent::. men retired to an adjoining room, where they vice met by a great assemblage of Ladies ct the t beauty, and elegantly dressed, when a ball, as tr.s previously arranged, immediately commenced, 25.1 continued till a very late hour cf the morning.— During the dance, the Marquis, accompanied by two of.bis sisters, arrived in the ball-room, having been pressingly invited by his tenantry to do so, and they mixed with the happy group in the joyous dance.— There were various other dinner parties among tFe different classes in the village, which was most Ira- Raptly illuminated the whole evening ; the bells cur. tinning at the same time to ring a merry peal. The:: who did not participate in these festivities were ampli -regaled with strong ale in the streets, where a large bonfire biased, communicating its effulgence to the surrounding woods and hills, which had a most beau. tiful effect—this was much heightened with a grand discharge of fireworks, prepared by the tenantry. BRIHANDS OF TH3 ALPL—The brigands in the vicinity of the Alps continue to increase. Colonel LES. LIIY, and a party of Ladies, were crossing lately, when they were beset by a numerous band of these miy creants.• One of the party, a female, presented her purse, which was well stored ; but the robbers paid so attention to the offer ; they ordered the party to quit the carriage whilst they searched it diligently, fancy ing they should find considerable property. Col. L was quite at a loss to account for the minuteness cf their inquiries, until he discovered that they mistooi him' for Mr. THOMAS-HOPS. The Lady who tee awed the parse, in her fright, dropped it into he bosom ; and it is curious to remark, that these plto• derers actually forgot to demand it ere their dept. lure. From their conversation, it appeared that they bad intelligence of the approach of Mr. HOPE.* Colonel LIMEY, after escdrting the ladies to the nes.: post town, left them, and returned to apprise M:. Hon of the ambuscade: he fortunately met 6:: gentleman on the road, and induced him to revel back to the inn from whence he set out; and .1 Mr. Hon escaped,'by taking a different route fan, the one he first intended. Our informant adds, ti :a: the robbers actually calculated upon the probability of Mr. Hon's taking u pon _ himself the charge cf a part of the loan for the French Government. EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.—Extract of a lettr from Flanders In one of the Communes, ee.s Saint Omers, is a character, which may, perhaps: afford your Readers some amusement. It is that at a Lady of fortune, above sixty, who has lorg laded a considerable part of her income in keepira a pack of hounds for the destruction of ss:Are, which, some years back, very much infested tb:: part of the country, and did great damage. 'l'l' bounds are still in her possession, and she takes pre.:. delight in going to the kennel, and seeing them. — A few years since, she used to go out to hunt, ac' continued to pursue the chase for sometimes f.itet or sixteen successive days, as the wolves charic their haunts. She was then attended by a e7^'' . retinue. The outer gates of her chateau are crowded with the heads of the wolves she has (!r• stroyed. Her dress.is as strange as her mode of consisting of a green frock coat, with a gold bogie• horn embroidered on each skirt, a yellow waisrceg with black stripes, a kind of plush, or else black velveteen small clothes, jockey boots, and a four , : hat, with a broad gold band and a very large ged buckle in front. She never deviates from this ce% maw, and is not at all displeased at being addiessed by a stranger as Monsieur. To all appearance sh! is more like a servant in livery than any thin!: else. Notwithstanding these peculiarities she :s very good kind of person, gives away money ar . i other necessaries, and is universally beloved by IL: inhabitants, who are never tired of relating the P:* viers she has rendered them.
