PAgNEZLIELA .4.11) NEW GR.4IVAD.4. • —• FURTHER SUCCESSES OF THE PATRIOTS.;... SANTA MARTHA TAIIEN—CAETHAGENA BE SIEGED. tin t Extract . of a Letter host Guayana, dated October 14) A courier has just arrived from the capital of New Granada, bringing us journals awl muck good news. Already &tithe Nlsrtha must be free, and Carthagena blockaded or besieged. A considerable body of picked troops marches to the assistance of Venezuela, and must be already on the ficsotiera, if not within its territory, The enemy's squadron has disappeared from Margarita. and the crew has taken refuge in the hospitals. Some Spaniard* of the regiment of 'Mastro have arrived at Maturiti, and given intelligence of the retreat of the enemy's naval force. We have received the cargo of Lunch, consisting of gold in coin and bars; they are now unloading the trackages,and until they are weighed we ate uncertain of the amount but the whole of this cargo is destined to purchase muskets, and only 1111 IS kets.

Extract ofd Letter Asia -4 , agosinra, doled Oct. 12: You may ■ow reckon As free the whole of New thanada, with the exception of Carthagena. In cmt sequence oldie expedition in aid of Lima, the whole of the kingdom had been depiived of its garrisons. In l'opayan the garrison is very small, and thin of Anti.. slitia does not amount to sixty men, intended merely as a guard for the stint. There havebeen sent to Antioquia SOO men, and to l'Opayan 1..5U0, in older afterwards to Itherate all the contesnimous provinces, the best results being expected hoist the enthusiasm with which the acpublicati troops awe every where received. That which is now of most importance, and to which, as is reason al le, the greatest attention has been paid, is to raise a great army, in mder to resist any expedition which Spain may send out ; for the Royalists have now here uo force capable of undertaking any thing against Santa Fc.

Of these trothashr col/phial system of Britai n affords a memorable proof- The revenue which that kingdom derives from North American ennunercial intercourse is woody reales thaw it ever derived from Nunh American taxation. • The motives which actnatevi )drain and Spain in these eukistial wars, similar in one respect, iwie been utterly different in windier. Both have been excited by national pride—the fertile source, when welk employed, of many grand and many maul achievements. Unt iu Britain, as in Spain wars ere more properly the acts of the government than of the nation; and Uritaaas being a cottstitnt' al ittonsmeliy.Spain a despot tbni, the pc °fern olent o' the former had, in its colonial strug2le, all iotelligible,that of the Mancuso irra Object lei view. Thecounittition.d4overnment naturally emoted, 'ouch!, by retaining its colonies, to increase the naval. awl milt tary strength of the nation-, the tiewstic Government, on the contrary, while it enfeebled and abused its colt). nits, derived from the very mauve of despotism, interrs• s at utter variance with those of the ration. Despotism substitutes individual and selfish, Inc national and gene rous interests; and hence it is that the Close tent tit Spain, not the nation. without CCollollliZilig either tin treasures or the blood which is vainly wasted in the American war, looks in that struggle only to the intercom (if its creatures and dependents, who with money or with meanness have purchased the lucrative or the honourable THE NATIONAL REGISTER. offices of that - country from ministers and courriera.troot that crowd of idle and corrupt sycophants who maintain their luxury by the industry or the toil of retry virtuous sod honourable citiaen. Such, Spottiestis, it cleasly apr pears, are the hase motives of the despotism. as aim national as anti-colonial. ,s Like iireful chili/rest, then, of an Rheostats rare, the people of the preivincesof Veneruela are anxious to ad vance the real prosperity of the mother countey. Tiles pursue a system not more honourable tethemselvet than it must he finally beneficial w S t rain. Boasting one origin. and speaking one langagge.tt is impossible they should nor, if unimpeded by despots, eternally seek one common, benefit. navvy the mother c 00000 'try which abandoning an infanticide policy, as absurdly f r oolish as frighscully disgusting, seeks only te outrun its colony to an illustrious career of rival good, amia rival glory._ Thus assoredly may Spain prolong a more honourable existence. The fate of states, however, is in general like that of the individuals of which they are composed. Nlen s alas r can scarcely be said to pass more readily front the vigour of manhood to senility, decrepitude, and death, than nations 110411 democracy to oligarchy,.despos tism, and political entiarction- Few, too, are the nations which have ever a second time enjoyed political life. To Italy alone belongs the glory of having twice cultivated hernias; and the arts, and of now &spiting to independ ence. which, strange as it may seem, she *meld long ere now have enjoyed, had it not been for one of the maid fidd crimes of your Government. An infamous compact made Spa in for ages a mere depetuletwe on France, and to compensate this and the division and weakness of Germany,. the nations of die north have bound Italy hand and foot, and made her a dependence of A:owl I. To the same cause is owing the Itsaiutersatice of two dis (foci kingdoms in your peninsulas Thus does she 'poli tical ignorance, the political weakne-vi or the political crime of one nation, ruin the witolestructure of society. Italy, however, aspires to independence ; and Germany to freedom'. Been Greece has visions of micieut glory. Mal Spain precede them in all!' o prolong then a snore honourable existence,. or to renovate tba signor of the mother country, is the zealous wish of the colimists. In this sacred task, nobles anti people of Spain, they reckon on your aid.

Notwithstanding all that has been said of the active genius of Polonllo—in spite of the mighty anu wonderful prep6iraiions at Cad's. with the additional obstacle thrown in the way of the Jude dent cause in South America by the Foreign Enlistment Act in this country, still the banners of the Venesulean Patriots are waving triumphant ut ' , ante Marta. and a decisive victory has been gained over the Royal , Army in Canthara, which has sustained a loss of 1000 men, besides the capture of its :unmunition and baggage. Accounts from Augustan, of the 1.3. th. of October,. confidently anticipate the immediate freedom of New Greneda with the exception of Ca/thaw:no, and that in it 4 turn will soon succomb, as it was blockaded, and probably has since been besieged. The royal scpiudron has disappeared from. Margarita and from Santa Fe. The Independents have received con siderable treasure in bars of gold, which will be employed its the purchase of muskets. The pro• crastination in sending out reinforcements from Cadiz must add. to the dismay of the Royalist Commanders, and; befixe the luckless expedition sails there is every reason. to hope that the whole of the western hemisphere will be free. Two Hamburgh Mails have arrived'. bringing Papers to the 10thinst. An article from Brunswick states, that on the Qd, a fire broke out in the Chan. eery Butldiirgs of that town, at night, which burnt with such resistless rapidity, that all the papers•werc consumed, and some lives were iinfoitunately lost. The Grand Saloon, called the Throne Hall, which was formerly fitted up at considerable expellee by Jerome Bonaparte, was entirely destroyed. The fire, it is supposed, was occasioned by the pipes laid under
