A courier has just arrived limit the capital of New Grenada, bringing us jaiirnals and much Rood news. Already Soothe NI utlia must be free, and Carthagetta Llockadeil or besieged.

The enetny'si squadron has disappeared from Margarita. and the crew has taken refuge in the hospitals. Some Spaniards of the regiment of Mastro have arrived at Matutios, and given intelligence of the retreat of the enemy's naval force.

It: Popayan the gartisott is very small, and that of Anti's. qiiia does not amount to sixty utru, intended merely as a guard for the mint. There have been sent to Antioquia .SCo men, and to Popayan 1,500, in order afterwards to lihar tie all the conteriniorms pro, races, the best results being expected from Ott enthusiasm with which the republican troops are every where receiver:. That which is now of most importance, and to which, as is reason al Ic, the greatest arention has been paid, is to raise a great army, in ender to resist any expedition which Spain may send out ; fur the Royalists have now here no force capable of undertaking any thing against Santa Fe.

People of Spam 1 our younger Brethren of the pro vinces of Venezuela desire to speak to you in the spirit of siticerity and of peace. Simple republicans them selves, they )et respect all the ranks which they now address; for in Spain ranks have, in happitr illustrated the national glory; and the people of Vette auela ciierish its recollections nut less than the proudest Castilian. They are the children of th. colonial, you of die u n ifier country , and it is t h e Ittimainental, the sternal law of such relationship, which they would here sanest to your solemn consideration. It is in politcal as in physical nature, when the in fant becomes relatively stronger than ihe parent, it re sumes an independent existence; and the physician who should destine the child never to separate from the bo son, of its mother, would tint act more madly than the politician who should destime the colony to be an e'er val dependency on the parent state. All history illus stair's the truth of this :P4OllOll ; and, in the present case, no parallel can tae so close as that of lii ikon and her .littericaii colonies. Tne greatest naval power which the isorld has ever beheld could not retain the Aught- American provinces in subjection.

Few, 100, are the nations which have ever a second lints enjoyed political life.

An infamous compact made Spain for ages a mere dependence on France, and to compensate this and the division and weakness of Gei many, the naheins of the north have bound Italy hued and foot, and made her a dependence of Austria. To the same cause is owing the maintenance of two dis tinct kingdoms in your peninsula. Thus does the poli tic ignorance, the political weakne.s, or the political crime of one nation, ruin tier witolestructure of society. Italy, however, aspires to independence ; and Germany to freedom. Even Greece has visions of ancient glory. May Spain precede them in all! o prolong then a wore honourable existence, or to renovate the vigour of the mother country, is the zealous wish of the colonists. In this sacred task, nobles and people of Spain, they Peckon on your aid. Though those treinentlons energies winch enabled yoteto drive a foreign invader from your fields, as the rack is driven before the tempests of heaven, now slumbers in peace, yet is yours only that awful calm which precedes the storm. The day of reckoning is at hand for that domestic tyrant, who in out breath favours and destroys the nci.de, while it is his glory to scorn and crush the people; whose crimes render it safer to be a minister of Turkey than of Spain— better to be a slave of the Sultan than of the Bourbon Nero. But the hour of retribution approaches. Then will those intlitlgencies be snatched away with will .h artful bigotry pampers brutal sensuality. 'Then will that treitibhng coward, who in vestments wet with human gore, insults the God qf mercy with hit prayers, read the long scroll of his crimes..

Notwithstanding all that has been said of the active genius of Morillo—in spite of the mighty and wonderful preparations at Cadiz, with the additional obstacle thrown in the way of the Inde dent cause in South America by the Foreign Enlistment Act in this country, still the banners of the Venezulean Patriots are waving triumphant at Santa 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 ammunition and baggige. Accounts from Angostura, of the I'2th of October, confidently anticipate the immediate freedom of New Greneda with the exception of Carthagena, and that in it 4 turn will soon succomb, as it was blockaded, and probably has since been Lesieged. The royal squadron has disappeared front Margarita and from Santa Fe, The Independents have received con siderable treasure in bars of gold, which will be employed in the purchase of muskets. The pro crastination in sending out reinfirreements from Cadiz must add to the dismay of the Royalist Commanders, and before the luckless expedition sails there is every reason to hope that the whole of the western hemisphere will be free. The Jamaica papas just received contain an in. tereseing but painful document, liking a narrative of another• expedition by \l•Grcgor, which failed no less disgracefully than that of Porto.Bello, as must be the flue of every enterpr•zc in which that pusil lanimous adventurer may have art enough to engage his gallant but unthinking tiillowers.
