Notwithstanding what is here said of " frefacult4 mo-

In another column we have give n the Proclamation
issued by General LA ScaNA, at 01 U:0, on the 21st of
March, on the resignation of his authority as Viceroy of
Peru. We stated our reasons on Saturday for believing
that this fact would be confirnn el. The difficulties of every
kind which were daily r:sing round LA ficitiea have most
probably been the causes that del to this determination on
his part. llis pretended veneration for the absolute FE
DINA ND will not even impose upon that infatuated SJVC-
reign. It is singular, by the way, that the resumption of
his uncontrolled power should have been assigned by the
last Viceroy of the Indies as the reason why he resigned
his authority. The annihilation of the power of Spain
over her late colonies on the Continent of America is now
so complete, that there remains not one Lieutenant of the
KING in any one of those provinces; and we will venture
to predict that at this moment there is not a Spanish soldier
in arms against the cause of independence. On the resig-
nation of LA Scam• we dare say that each officer would
feel himself at liberty to make the best terms for himself.
The stability of the New States is now assured, whatever
changes time and experience may suggest in the form and
administration of the Governments, which under the pres-
sure of circumstances they had hastily adopted. An ex-
pedition from Ettreipe will have no party to receive it.

Prince Poligmie, the French Ambassador, transacted

Louis XVIII. is succeeded by Charles Philipp, Count
d'Artois, who on the death of Louis XVII. took the title
of Monsieur. He was born October 9, 1137, and married
Maria Theresa, sister of the King of Sardinia, who died
in isoa ; his only surviving son is the Duke d'Angouletne,
now, as heir apparent to the French throne, styled the
Dauphin.

land.

Affairs aro here in a lamentable state. Every hour
brings with it some fresh act of atrocity and horror. The
events of TAMPA arc put forward as demanding and jus-
tifying that exterminating system to which the Apostolic
Junta urge the Spanish Cabinet, and which is but too
much to the taste of the King, and but too accordant
with the disposition of his courtiers. You will have
already seen an account in the official Gazette of the 31st
ult. of the unfortunate persons executed without form of
trial, belonging, some to the expedition of Mena zee,
others to that of VALDLZ. Upwards of a hundred more
victims, distributed in classes for execution, have al-

squares, and the most excruciating tortures in their dun-'
leons. A few public functionaries, less vindictive than
their colleagues, have been dismissed from office, for
having manifesk4 sentiments of humanity, and expressed
a slight disapprobation of these illegal and bloodthirsty
proceedings. At the head of these is M. AHJONA, the!
!superintendent of police; who, although his measures were!
c
rigorous, was nevertheless anxious rather to soothe tnan to
exasperate the public mind. The pretext for his dis-
missal was, that be ought to have been well informed

The following letter, dated Callao, April 20, is carious,
as showing that the troops who delivered up that fortress
to the Spaniards were deceived into that act of tr..aeltery,
and that there was little itrospeet of their remaining long
attached to their new masters:—" Of course you have
heard of the unfortunate busintss of the eith of February
ilsst. This the Spaniards wish to attribute to the love of
Ferdinand ; but the fact is, that the soldiers forming the
detachment of the army of the Andes, diseettsuel with the
conduct of their Chiefs, to whom they attributed the state
of mis-ry and poverty to which they were reduced, de-
!
mauled in the first instance the payment of their arrears,
without having any idea whatever of joining with the Spa-
niards. Unfortunately, their own officers having bialt
placed in confinement, and the men therefore bring left
without their usual advisers, some of the Spanish prisoners
mok advantage of this, and persuaded them that after their
insubordinate conduct towatils the Patriot authorities, all
hope of reconciliation must be at an end: and that, what-
ever might be' the promises made as the price of their sub-
mission, they never would be fulfilled when the Patriots
hail the power in their own hands; at the same time 'mita-
ing out the advantages which would attend a union with
the Spaniards. Ott this persuasion the troops yielded, and
gave up the fortress; but the garrison arc not, and can
never be, cordial friends with the Spaniards."

most likely, he will not supply the want of nisdoin and

whole of his department, declaring, that notwithstanding
the dismissions that had previously taken place, it required
a further cleansing, as it was still infected with Revolu-
florists, whose practices escaped punishment under cover
of their official employments. With these facts before us,
we may judge of what a man of this character is capable,
when raised to eminence, and invested with ministerial
functions, under the authority of which he may commit
the most cruel abuses.

In the latter end of last month a conference was held at
Sr. 11.neroNse, at which all the Foreign Ministers were
summoned to attend, not omitting even Sir W. a' Cocar,
whose departure is daily announced, but which some pre-
text is always found to delay. The Du a E its
T ADO and lissir est DIJON were also prucut at this
Conference, but the utmost precaution has been taken that
nothing should transpire as to its object. Thus far is
certain, that the most extensive powers have been vested
in U RCM It, the favourite of the King, to raise, in con-
junction with the French Commandant, front 10 to 12,000
Spanish troops. What is to be their destination? Are
they to be employed in traversing the mountains of Anda-
lusia, or are they to serve as the germ of an expedition
beyond sea? This will perhaps be known in London be-
fore we shall be acquainted with it hero, as your Alphas-
sailor will not fail to furnish your Cabinet with an account
of the motives as well as the result of this Conference. It
occasions here the most disquieting conjectures.

OUTRAGYA IN ('onstca.—The Jout nal of Corsica re-
lates a series of dreadful crimes. On the 3d of August,
after a disturbance which took place at Paggiodimoriani
between two brothers, Hastien and Martin Alhertini,
both labourers and of the same commune, the latter
killed the former with a hatchet by two blows on the
head, and then stabbed his sister-in-law with a stiletto
lin the groin. The assassin afterwmils fled. On the 13th
of the S3IIIC month the wife of Sicur Antoine Ere°le,
an inhabitant of Bastia, was sitting before the door of
her house with a soldier, who was presumed to be her
gallant, when her husband ordered her to go in. The
woman seeing that, upon her refusing, hi r husband would
force her to obey him, immediately rose, and having a
carving-knife in her hand, gave him three stabs, by which
he was severely wounded. On the 16th of the month.
