FOR THE SUN. Ma. EDITOR—IU a former letter to you, it }vim assumed that the measures therein alluded to alight justly be termed the wild excess of Reform, +shere nothing that is old can be good but where alteration is synonymous to improvement, and where experiment and innovation, or any other conceited novelty, means excellence. Whatever effect the repeal of the Combination Laws may have had, and will have, on commerce and manufactures, the mischief is comparatively as nothing when we consider the effect it must produce on the seamen as constituting the de fensive arm of the country—the Economists have formed a number of axioms and theorems sshich have no foundation ; in fact, neither have they any practical experience to recommend them ; they are no other than the wild imaginary visions of visionary brains, at all times railing against practical experience. Among the many evils they have engendered, perhaps none are of a more dangerous and mischievous tendency than the Royal Standard Union, which seems to have originated on the rivers Tyne and Wear, com posed wholly of seamen, with which most of the seamen of the other ports are united in principle, and like them organized in bodies; they have, like their brother operators, their Citizen Directors, Committees, and Solicitors, corresponding and itinerant delegates, whereby they rule and direct their masses—they, too, dictate their own wages and their own work ; they will not allow any but united brothers to sail in any ship with them; even all the Officers are to join (save the Master), each man having a ticket and number, therefore, whoever sail with them must join their Sovereign Standard, and conform to their rules and laws ; thus organized, they, with ease, dictate to those who employ them, for where ships are under contract they must proceed, or forfeit the penal ties. The Masters who should command the Merchant ships are placed in a most critical situa tion ; sailing to all parts of the world they are cut off from all authority that could in any way assist them, their crews, officers and all, in a secret union, to resist their orders whenever they think proper so to do; thus are they situated ; all around them may be disobedience, insubordina tion, and mutiny ; yet, under such circumstances, does the union place them, that let whatever hap pen they can expect neither assistance on a pre sent emergency nor evidence in a future case, as to any circumstance that may occur ; this is one of the evils which is spreading and must spread to the remotest regions, from the repeal of the Restrictive Laws exposing the Ship-Owners and these who command to every sort of conspiracy. Lnstead of redressing any grievances and improv ing securities, all balances and counterpoises that io any way served to give a steady direction to the means our forefathers had provided to check those violent spirits which otherwise are not to be cor rected, are totally destroyed ; insubordination may now stalk abroad uncontrouled, and the op portunity has been eagerly seized on by the sea . Amen, and carried to the greatest extent. In :many instances they have refused what was their bounden duty to perform ; they have even re fused their assistance to rescue a vessel from a aand-bank on which she had grounded on her voyage; and the master, when questioned as to the reason why he had not detained their wages for such misconduct, answered, that if he had done so none of the seamen would have sail ed in a ship with him, which would have lost him the means of livelihood. The sea apprentices have caught the con tagion ! they are encouraged to resist their corn molders, and to such a length has insubordina . tion been carried that there has been more ap plications to the Magistrates for commitments in the maritime district for disobedience than per haps ever took place in the same time. Indeed, the spirit of resistance to any thing like subor dination has got to such a height, and the dicta tion of having their own way is so general, that in 'mine of the sea-port towns they have displayed flags as an emblem of triumph over those who bs,e to employ them. These circumstances are &mentioned to shew the spirit that prevails and actuates the masses—to shew the effect that is likely to be instilled into the minds of the pre aeut and rising generation, by relaxing the laws, sod Thereby destroying subordination in society. The ship-owners are driven to make the choice nt two evils—that is, either to give the seamen their own way and the nomination of their wages and officers, or to let their ships lie in port, as they cannot procure hands in many of the ports bat such as are union men. But a still greater sod a graver question arises from a relaxation of the necessary discipline—that is, whenever the seamen are wanted for the service of the State, what are the consequences to be expected from urea so trained, when forced into a service which they generally wish to avoid ? On this great uatioual. question, and surely none can be greater, there are many gallant officers, members of the Senate, and others their brother officers of long experience in the service, perfectly qualified to judge. It is one on which their experience stionfd give them great weight, one on which their minds were exercised day by day, month by month, end year by year. To maintain that discipline necessary to subordination, they are well ac quainted with the danger and difficulties of such situations—they will remember the daring spirit with which they had to deal that requires so firm a check, and they must be fully sensible of the . dangerous consequences of not keeping such spirits subordinate—they will remember the mutinies that spread through his Majesty's Beets ; they sre well acquainted with the heart-rending difficulties with which so many gallant officers in those ships had to struggle, —and they well remember the power assum ed, and the lone of language used by the Citizen Admiral (Parker), and the Citizen De- , legates his colleagues. Lt must for ever be iude. ably . stamped on their minds the situation that , the Admirals, Captains, and Officers were placed in--they have had a fine and a fair specimen of what active citizens are, when acting under the direction of citizen directors and citizen dele. gates (on board the fording Republic of that d ay) ; CllO7. will reenenibek,theAdaairals Coipois, Gard , .... ~ ~ ner, and other Officers' narrow escape from their mutinous crews—having many of them wit nesse d such sce nes , th e y a re fully competent to judge whether seamen, organised under the directions of citizen delegates, training en masse to rules and regulations to give such masses a power to controul, and who are actually controuling all the officers in the merchant shipping, are likely to become very subordinate, when they are called on for the service of the country to act their part on the vasty deep—the question is, " will they come when they are called 2" This, of all others, is the most vital question, and requires the most serious consideration of practical Statesmen, of experienced Officers, and of all those who are not smitten with the enlightened philosophical, economical, or radical mania ; those who have not the vanity to proclaim that they were the first to discover and to act on sound principles. There are those who declare to the masses that they are the only legitimate source of power ; there are those who have been active citizens in destroying the laws and discipline, which have hitherto preserved all orders—when the masses are thus instructed, will any one, not a sentimen tal philosopher, an economist, or a reformer, have the hardihood to say, that in such a state of things there is not most imminent danger ; be as sured that the masses so trained will care no more for the Captainof a man of war than they now care for the master of a merchant ship ; it may be urged, that in the one situation they are under superior officers, and subjected to martial law, and in the other that they are under little or no restraint (this is certainly true less than in any other maritime State), and from that cause the British merchant service has always been in a state of laxity for want of some law to restrain the licentiousness of their crews, and from that cause, more than any other, the mutinies in the Fleets originated, and became so formidable as to set both officers and martial law completely at defiance to supersede them, and threaten to put in execution the seamens' will as law. This is no exaggerated picture, but the plain facts that many of the officers experienced in that severe day of trial, which, of all others, must have been the most distressing to their minds, when they found themselves no longer able to command that navy, which, when subordinate, was the pride and glory of the country, become in an evil hour, in subordinate and mutinous, threatentng ruin and desolation to the kingdom which gave them birth, and of which they were the natu ral defenders. Of what avail will be the boasted wooden walls, or the nautical skill and gallantry of the officers, if the moral of those who compose the crews are inflamed and corrupted ; the collecting such masses together would only be collecting insubordination and mutiny, if they are to be numbered, and ticketed, and trained to support a Royal Standard Union of the People, raised by a few desiAning men, to mislead the seamen from their duty, which, if suffered to proceed in its portentous course, may be the means of leading them from their alle giance. When such theories are forced into practice, they are vauntingly proclaimed by Whigs and Tories as the sound principles of free trade, rights, and equalities, and reciprocity, on which we are in future to be guided in all es. sential measures of Government. When this doctrine is promulgated and sounded in our ears by a daily repetition from demagogues, puritans, and levellers—when the laws enacted by our an cestors, that has raised this kingdom to such power (and perhaps too much wealth) are re commended to be radically swept away, and their spirit lost—when they are moreover denounced as the rules of barbarism—when measures are progressively carried in direct opposition to those which were once advocated—then well may they be termed theories of reform ; they are the theories of a new school ; the Philosophers are, by sophistries, filching a credit for them selves for what the old laws have effected ! The whole of what they have done has failed ; they cannot conceal that they are completely baffled in their experiments ; they cannot conceal that their experimental job work (for it deserves no better name) is ricketty and short-lived, that their measures are cont.• ually returned on their hands as incomplete, anti must be new vamped. They have not the candour to allow that their boasted sound principles are found unsound in practice ; they are unwilling to return to the principles of our ancestors, and to take them as their guide; no, they have renounc ed them as barbarous relics ; rather than confess themselves at fault, they would destroy the whole fabric ; they therefore proceed like travelling tinkers, in mending one hole they make two. In the instance of the repeal of the Combination Laws, the operators (the new term) were and are allowed to combine, for the purpose of fixing their wages and hours for operation ; they have literally combined according to the act they fix their wages, and operate or not as they please ; when this is done, many of the economists seem a little astonished even at the fruit of their own rearing —many of those who hailed the notice for, and assisted in, the repeal, turn round and threaten the operators with the vengeance of another sort of thunder, provided they do not abide more strictly to their wise monitions, that if they continue obstinately to act as the law, or as the operators conceive the law allows them —that their Monitors will shortly apply another new experiment on the sound prin ciple of cosmopolitism—by admitting foreign shins, foreign seamen, and all sorts of foreign goods and manufactures. Then our ships may rot in port, and our manufactories stand still ; this is a wonderfully clever notable dis covery ; what a pity that English artizans and operatives, and their necessary train of machinery, had not been allowed for exportation, and put into that sort of training for a separation (as we are informed the Colonies are now in) which would materially ease the shock whenever it comes; by this means, as we shall be supplied much cheaper as long as We have money to pay, there is no need of any alarm on the score of de fence, which a little alarmed Adam Smith, as the modern philosophers have likewise discovered that wars are the old relics of barbarism and must be exploded ; therefore seamen will be no longer necessary, There is another very notable scheme, that of sending ships with broken bot toms, or no bottoms, those that will not swim to repair in foreign countries; there is however some doubt whether the British seamen are sufficiently eulightened to look quietly on and see foreign seamen come to all the ports and man the ship ping to the exclusion of themselves; whenever this experiment is tried; a little. vigour beyond the law may be necessary to enforce obedience, or a more sagacious admonition in the interim ; a seaman's institute may be established, and cos mopolite principles infused for their instruction. Wonderful philanthrophy! that can undertake to govern a great country by admonition alone. .Hever any of those threatened measures are at tempted to be enforced, then will be seen how cautious a nation should be of adopting the sound principles of philosophers and economists ; then it will be seen that the unions en masse are still going on, and that they attend no more to thou dering admonitions, while there is no law to pre vent them from combining, than they have done to the admonitions of the now despised masters who employ and pay them. Mankind is not to be governed by philanthrophy, sentimental phi losophy, nor political economy ; as well might they undertake to keep smooth the expansive ocean's rolling billows, when acted on by the sweep ing hurricane and tornado's blasts, as to attempt to govern mankind without laws to en force subordination and discipline, secure civil rights, to restrain passions and prejudices, and to punish whenever punishment is necessary. There has been .much said in favour of learning, lessening crime,.and insubordination ; the fact is, the more learning the more abilities, and fre quently more subtility, which make laws more necessary to enforce obedience— laws should be imprinted iti firm characters; in a clear black letter, that he that runs may read, equally effica cious to protect or punish. Impotent laws are a disease in the body politic—and when made to protect combination, are a cover to conspiracy, to extortion, to evil designs, and are weapons in the hands of evil-minded men. X. X. ENGLISH and FRENCH before CADIZ. " CADIZ, JUNE 24. cc His Britannic Majesty's frigate Active, lion. Captain ItonsEY, arrived here on the lfith inst. from Algiers and Gibraltar, having on board the Portuguese Minister, M. Pereim to the Dey of Al g i ers , an d a son o f Si r B. Bloomfeld. " The envoy paid over to the Dey 64,000 dollars. His Highness expressed himself satisfied, and the ancient rela tions of friendship were renewed between the two Governments, when the Portuguese Consul was permitted to land, and to assume his diplomatic functions. When the Active arrived in the hay of Cadiz, she was hailed by a French brig of war, which is stationed at the mouth of the bay to enforce the qua rantine laws ; the commander of the frigate replied, that as he was coming into a Spanish port, he would recognize no flag hut that of the Spanish nation. A mutual explanation took place, and the boat belonging to the Board of Health was immediately dispatched to put the usual questions to the frigate, when they were informed that she had come from Algiers. Though hav ing remained at Gibraltar seven days, and at the same time producing a clean bill of health, yet a question arose as to the propriety of her being admitted to pratique. An extraordinary Board of Health assembled , :hree o'clock to decide this im portant matter: President, the Commander.in-chi e f o f th e French for ces . Th e French interest at the Board was against her being admitted, unless she passed her usual quarantine ; but the Spaniards felt so pleased when they were informed that the British commander would not acknowledge the French flag, that they all voted that she should be allowed pratique. Her boats were consequently permitted to come on s h ore on S un d ay morning about seven o clock, after remaining twenty-four hours in quarantine ground. " On the Tuesday following the packet from England arrived off Cadiz, having a passage of ten days. She was brought to by the French brig about seven o'clock in the evening, in the quarantine ground, to wait the arrival of the health officers; the moment the commanding officer of the Active saw her en. ter the bay, he manned his boat and went alongside of the packet, to know, what assistance he could render her, or if she required any, at the same time offering to put on shore imme diately the mails, and to provide her with such necessaries as she might stand in need of. When the Captain of the French brig saw the Active's boat alongside the packet, he sent an impertinent message to know " who had the temerity to board the packet without his orders ?" The answer returned was, that the Commanding-officer of His Britannic Majesty's frigate Active, agreeably to, and in conformity with, Admiralty orders, dared to board His Majesty's packet, and would every other English vessel which should enter the bay of Cadiz during her I stay there, whether it should not be agreeable to the French commander. " The French took offence, and they now say they will put up no longer with•such insults, but that their orders must be implicitly obeyed. The Active leaves this to-morrow for her destination. All on board to perfect health. " It is supposed that the late regulations respecting the vic tualling of the navy have been attended with good effect ; that is, substituting, in some measure, a vegetable diet for animal, and tea and cocoa for rum. This, I have no doubt, in hot climates, and on long voyages, will be found very conducive to health. " Mr. Richardson, who was here a few days ago in his yacht, and from whom 200 sovereigns had been taken by the Spaniards at the gates of the city, was obliged, by advice of the Consul, to compromise the matter for fifty pounds. Ile got the remainder restored to him, with a few family trinkets, which happened to be in the same box. This should operate as a useful lesson to others who may feel inclined to visit the remains of the beautiful city of Cadiz." AdvicPs were received yesterday from Bogota to the 18th of May, and from Carthagena to the Bth of that month. Intelli ge n ce h a d arr i ved at the former place, confirm ing the statement we gave a few days back of the total defeat of OLANETA, the last of the Spanish Generals in Upper Peru. • It appears that two actions were fought, one on the 2d and the • other on the 4th of March, and that they took place in the neighbourhood of La Paz. The dispersion of the Spanish force was complete. OLANETA had escaped, but had only a few followers with him, and was supposed to be making an attempt to cross the continent, with the view of gaining the Brazilian territory.. We have no details of either of the above engage-'1 ments ; but it is stated that SUCRE, the Colombian General, ' was only enabled by the most skilful manoeuvres to bring him to an action, and that his success was complete and decisive. I The Colombian Congress had adjourned. Shortly before the rising of that assembly, a proposition had been submitted to them by an individual in Bogota, for raising a 6 per Cent. Loan at par, to an amo un t sufficient for the discharge of th e domestic debt, which is aboutB.ooo,ooo of dollars. TheCong,ress, however, broke up, without taking any notice of the proposition. An application had been made to the Congress in behalf of the Peruvian Legislative Body, to permit the residenceof Bor.lVait in Lima till the meeting of Congress in 1826,in order to enable that illustrious individual to consolidate the independence achieved for Peru by his courage and wisdom.—Since writing the above, we have received letters from Liverpool, dated Wed nesday night, which state that the Swallow had just arrived in that port direct from Callao, whence it sailed on the 16th March. The letters received by this conveyance do not contain any po litical intelligence of tnuch interest. Callao continued in the possession of the Royalists up to the middle of March. The ifortress was well-provisioned, nearly 200 head of cattle being within the walls. The patriots were making preparations for commencing the siege, several pieces of heavy ordinance having been landed for battering the fortress. So well, however, were the garrison provisioned, that it was feared the castles would not be surrendered without a protracted struggle. The Swallow has brought a large quantity of specie on merchants' account. — Letters have been received from Valparaiso to the middle of April ; but they do not contain any political intelligence.— ( Times.)

COLUMBIA Is FREE.-The Buenos Ayres Mail has brought us this agreeable intelligence, the ac counts of which will be found subjoined. It ap pears that, on April the Ist, an engagement took place between the Royalist and Liberating Ar mies at Tumusla, which ended in the complete de feat of the Spanish forces,although double the num ber of their opponents, and the death of General OLANETA. By these means the bulletins declare that the country is free, and the work of inde pendence complete. Cot. Don JosE MARIA VAL DEZ, with a few Royalist troops,still,however,held out, but his surrender was daily expected, as Gen. SUCRE was at Potosi, with the united liberating army of Peru. The consequence of this victory has been the revocation of the prohibition to traffic in warlike stores between the provinces of Salta and Peru, and the establishment of an unrestricted commerce and transit between them. Thus the last hope of Spain is for ever extinguish ed. However reluctantly, FERDINAND must now confess that no further hopes of reconquering his revolted colonies can exist ; and we trust it will be the era for the introduction of a better system into affairs at home. No doubt can be entertained but that the New States are willing to enter into commercial treaties on the most favourable terms with the Mother Country. It would display some wisdom if the Spanish Government would seize the oppportunity to cultivate friendly rela tions,and to reap theadvantages which a commerce with the new Republics hold out to Old Spain, and cease to procrastinate a contest as useless as it is unwise. BUENOS AYRES, RIAY 2. BY an Express from the Government of Salta to the Na tional Executive Power, we have received the following impor tant intelligence : BULLETIN, NO. 3, OF THE ARMY IN PERU. Salta, April 3, 1625. The following Proclamation has just been issued : Citizens !' The Government, desirous of communicating to you the joy which it feels, does not delay a moment to publish the interesting news contained in the dispatch of the General in -Chief, which it has just received. At four o'clock this morning I received a dispatch conceived in the following terms :—" At this moment, being two in the morning, I received from Gen. Urdiminea the following dis patch : Marching towards Tumusla to succcour Col. D. Carlos Medina Cell, being now 12 at night, I received letters from him by his Aide-de-Camp D. Jose Martinez, that at 7 in the even ing this day, 300 valiant Chichen os completely triumphed over 7 0 servile enemies at Tumusla. The number of killed and wounde is not yet known, except General Olaneta, who was the first that bit the dust ; above 200 prisoners were taken in the field of battle, including 20 officers. The firing begun at 3 o'clock , and ended at the hour above-mentioned. All the military stores were taken, and a great quantity of baggage belonging CO Olaneta. Please immediately to send this interesting and agreeable - .ntelligence to the Government of Salta, till I car' transmit the particulars of this brilliant action, which the vig torious Officer D.

The tyrarnlY which endeavoured to establish itself in the delightful regions of Peru has vanished for ever. With the death of the enemy the oppressed people receive the blessings of liberty.
