Under all these ciroirnstances, and with four casemate!: bearing upon the siore from both sides, which rendered the approdclies, already so difficult, almost impossible ; upon such 0-round, a viuorous and effectual defence was to have been expected. The Max ines of the British ships off the place w; . nild have baffled all the attempts of the enemy ; hnt die p , st was in the hands of a traitor, Don G A R C/ N.\ vArliw, whose name should become a watch 'word for infamy amongst his countrymen. He had been 2 pri-;orier arnmi;_;st the French, and was suffered to escape, yin doubt, 01.4: by affecting to the cause of his country he mi:4lit obtain some trust, in the sacrifice of which he alight more effectually betray its interest. The diabolical purpose has but too well succeeded, and in the surrender of the important fortress of Peniscola he has paid the price of a favourable reception from the inveterate oppressors of the land of his nativity. But the fall of this place, though certainly advantageous to the enemy, does not se cure them the more ready reducti:m of the whole_ Eastern Coast of Spain. The British General RocuE, as SUCHLT stales, has the command in Alicant. He has under his orders a force of six or seven thousand men, raised and dixiplined under his own immediate eye, and we are much deceived by our anticipations, or the French will another Saragossa in Alicant, defended by such a man.

The following is an Extract of a Letter from Buenos Ayres, dated Nov. 22, 1811 : " The Junta of Buenos Ayres has been changed for an Executive trovernment, contixtin of three :Members; and thre Urntlenien ap- TriE NATIONAL TIFGISTrIt. MARCH. 13. pointed to exercise this authority are Dr. Don Feliciano Chiclana, Don Mat uel de Sarratea, and Dr. Don Juan Jose Passo, who was Secretary to the late Junta.—The official business of the country is limier the management of three Secretaries of State, who have no stt:te in the atkp ticm of measures, and who are nominated by the Members of the Exc.. cuti•ie, but under their public responsibility. 46 Don Ariez tie Viana, Capitan de Frawata, is Chiec of the Staff at riIIPTIO3 Ayres. General Belgrano has been appointed Clionel of the regiment cf Pat riciog, ins..ead of the President Don Cornelio de Suav e . dr a This corps is the principal force of the Revolutionary Party, and it was contrary to the general wish of the Patriots that the command of it was given to the President, who is now employed in urgainiag the army of Peru. • Gr t‘ oyeneche is completely cut off in the advanced position which he has taken in the provinces of Lower Peru, stioject to the Viceroyalty cf hienos Ayres. The pass of the Desagnadero hai been taken by a new army raised in the interior of the country, z:i.led by the efforts of the Cochabambinos. The ludi.ots also assist in the Revolution; and have put to death the brother of Goyeneehe. The situation of that General, we are assured, ix desperate, and this appears to be true, not only from the statements of the revolutionary party, but by letters from their enemies. Casten and Balcarcel are now in Buenos Ayres, in order to reply to the charges made against them, uu account of the action with the troops of Lima. 44 F.lio and Salazar are about to sail from Monte Video for Spain. and Vigoci will remain in command of the eastern coast of Rio de to Plata. _ " In consequence of its having been stipulated in the Treaty conclud ed With Elio, that pecuniary asii , tance should be sent to Spain, a S;i:1- ukh frigate of war arrived off ! . .stenos Ayres, to carry money to the nimula. The European Spaniards, always acting with bad faith, to take advantage of that opportunity to send to Cadiz more thin i.tur millions of pieces, which they had in their power, belonging to tin. mer chants of that port; but the Government of La Colintia has thotig; , t proper to suspend, for the present, the remittance of that money, which may prudently serve as a guarantee fur security and trantoWity, and that the measures recently taken to procure peace prove effectual."

NAVARRO, who signed the capitulation of Penieola, ns Governor, is the niThaw of the NAvAnao, who, like MOULA I went over to the enemy at the time when N.lro- LFON entered Madrid. His brother is not only a partisan of the French, but has been one of their most zealous adherents from the commencement of their usurpation. T: t . rircumt.in , es make the treachery of th!s rep ream rel,,tion less sill prising, but they render the confidence of the Spaniards in his patriotism the more unaccountable.
