the last vestige of the Spanish authority over &nth Ame-
rica. The states of Chili and Buenos Ayres, from the
same sense of cognition inter, 0, have also taken part in
this struggle. The only people who have manifested a
disinclination to do their duty, in expelling the oppres-
sor, have be* the Peruvians themselves ; they are
nut absolutely indifferent, but they are too indolent and
hose to make the necessary efforts for their deliverance; and
their leaders, rather than be forced into vigorous exertion
by the Colombians, would fall back under their ancient
yoke. BOLIVAR, who knows by long experience what is
necessary to call forth the energies of a nation, in order to
establish its independence, appears to have discovered, im-
mediately on his arrival in Peru, that fresh life must be in-
fused into the operations against the Spaniards. lie at once
told the Committee of the Peruvian Congress, which waited
upon him to congratulate him on his arrival, that a thorough
change must be effected in the conduct of the war. The
Congress, sensible also of the inefficiency of the preceding
Administrations, conferred upon him the Dictatorial power.
Tones 'face .s, who was then President, considered this
appointment as degrading his authority ; and from that pe-
riod the utmost jealousy and hatred of BOLIVAR seem to
have actuated him in all his proceedings. Finding that lie
could rely only upon his Colombian troops, of which lie had
not a sufficiency to undertake offensive hostilities against
CAN TAR Ill', the Liberator advised Toms! TAOI.II to open
a negociation with the Spanish Viceroy LA Sauna, in onhr
to gain time and discover the feelMe of the Spaniards.
Baal soirAo•, the Peruvian Minister of War, and most
intimate friend of TORRE TAO! E, was chosen by him
fur this mission, which was apparilitly abortive. The
I greatest fault of Rouyn rt, in Peru, has been the con-
tidence he has unsparingly reposed in the traitors by
whom lie has been surrounded. At the earnest request
of Twine Tau. tie, who was suspiciously anxious to obtain
his written approbation of the negocialion, the Coloinbian
General, in a friendly letter from hia head-quarters, at
Patavilea, expressed his perfect satisfaction at the result of
BENI NDOAG at.ll mission. Bo 'avail WEE not aware dna the
Peruvian Chiefs had been negociating with the Spaniards
for the restoration of the Royal Authority in its greatest
plenitude; nor does Tom Mr 'FACILE think proper in his Me-
moir to avow this iufamoul deed; but in the proclamation lie
issued, immediately on the entry of the Spaniards into Lima,
he exultingly anisounced how lie had overreached the
dull Colombian. " fie pressed me," said Toe Us TAWAS,
" to open a negotiation with the Spaniards, and I availed
myself of the opportunity to insure the happiness of my
beloved country." The traitor, however, says not a word
in his Memoir as to the secret negociations between LA
SESNA and BrmemNuoAGA. The revolt of the garrison at
Celina seems to have precipitated TOk e Tao Le's schemes.
It is a singular fact, and the Peruvian apostate takes
great pains to prove it, that the disposition of the troops,
which led to the loss of Callao aril Lima, was specially di-
rected by liotarmi himself. We do nut doubt it. If
TURK/. TAors had been enabled to carry on his intrigues
undiscovered for sonic time longer, he would have inflicted
upon the cause of independence a deeper wound than cir-
cumstances allowed him. The Liberator instantly used
his Dictatorial power with the greatest energy, and
ordered the removal and destruction of all stores ca-
pable of being rendered serviceable to the Spaniards.
In vain Twine TA.. a endeavoured secretly to thwart and
hamper the General. Le was compelled to yield the military
command o. the capital to the Governor sent to assume it
by Bouv AA. The disgraced President remained there
till the city *as taken by the Spaniards, and then he re-
venged himself by denouncing BOLIVAX as " the greatest
monster 011 earth." From these documents it appears clear
that the only hope of Peruvian independence recto at
present upon the sword of Roue Ail. If lie be not sue-
etsaful, that unfortunate country will yet have to undergv
the severe suffering of a protracted struggle. Peru has
been peculiarly the victim of the treachery of her rulers.
We fear the population are too generally immersed in vie:.
and ignorance to take their station with the other new re-
publics in their sic' • , , unless they receive their inde-
pendence as a gift from the liberating hand of Demi vA a.

By a letter from Moutreal of the 25tls ult. we learn that
the Canadian ship Columbus was got ell tm the lith, and was
afterwards seen beyond Cape Rorie r, so that the ship which
brought the accounts of her grounding, and which sailed
from Quebec on the 16th, must have quitted the St. Law-

Letters from the :ity of Mexico to the 11th August. and
from Alvarado to the ?id, were received yesterday. They
are very barren of news. General Bravo, who N to be
made the President of the Republic (uniting thereby the
Executive in one rum, instead of three as at present),
was at the capital. General Victoria left that city the 4th
August, with troops for Oaxaca, a province in the Pacific,
where the partisan:, of Iturhide had been creating some
disturbance* His instructions were to act iu the most
summary manner in testoring order ; but it was expected,
that when the result of holiday's expeditiou became
known there, General Victoria's interference would be
unnecessary. (hie of the letters says—" You may be
assured, that aim; Iturhide's death, the internal enemies
of this country are extinguished. Whether we have any
thing to fear front Europe you will know best." The
English Misting Companies were busily getting to work,
and important results were expected from their labours.
Greek journals of a recent date have heed received : one
of them contains the Proclamation of the Provisional Go-
vernment of Greece, which grants an amnesty to all those
who have made any attempts to disturb the internal se-
curity of the State, on condition that they shall in future
obey the laws and the orders of the Government. It gives
also the detail* of the combat at Amblani, with Derviseh
Paella, in which that General was completely beaten ; one
thousand killed, as many w led, fourteen standards, four
CHIII4III, and a considerable homy, were the results of the
victory. The Greeks lost only five nom.

The Bury Peat of Wednesday has the following specu-

arising out of Mr. Canning's visit to Ickwenth so soon
after his return from Ireland, but it is currently reported
here,—and some whisper it who profess to have good
authority for the assertion,—that the Earl of Bristol is
likely to accept the Viceroyalty of the Sister Island, and
the Marquis Wellesley to be brought into the Cabinet.
This does not seem improbable as a measure for strengthen-
ing the more liberal patty in the Administration. The
absence of the Noble Earl from his estates, even for this
important purpt.se, would furnish new cause of regret to
his tenantry.

NEIV SOUTH WALES-VAN DIEMEN'S LAND.

Yesterday we received Sydney Gazettes to the l ith May,
and Ilo,wrt Town Papers to the lYth of June. New
South IViles appears to be in a flourishing condition.

Private letters iron Van Diemen's Land of the Vith of
June, mention the arrival of the new Governor, and say

that the Colony was in a prospetous state. The market
however, was overstocked with European goods. A Sydney
Paper contains a narrative of the massacre, on one of the
Friendly Islanis, of Captain Posell, late Commander of
the Rambler, with five of his men. Mr. Butler, who with
his family was on his way, in the ship Brothers, to Van
lEemen's Land, se Registrar of the Supreme Court, died
on board during the voyage, as well as one of his children.
Mr. Ilia Horn, who was appointed to New South Wales
by the Church Missionary Society, also died on board the
Brothers. Colonel So:ell, late Lieutenant-Governor of
Van Diemen's Land, and the late Deputy Judge-Advo-
cate, were to leave that Colony on the 10th of June, in
the Guilford, for England. The new Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, Colonel Arthur, with his family, arrived in the River
on the loth of May. Captain Nloatagu, of the 40th regi-
ment, and Lady, accompanied the Colonel, who has ap-
pointed Captain M. to be his Secretary. The Sydney
Gatette, of May 6, gives the following notice o the power

For the last 12 or In nionths we have been labouring under one
of the nitat unhappy mistakes. It has been a maxim to insert all
conespondences that passed the Censor of the Press—many of
which, indeed, came through that channel ; certain writers, for
views best known to themselves, thinlCrg it advisable to &serrate
from the usual order of things. Herein consisted our mistake.
We conceived it obligatory to publish all the documents that were
so transmitted; whereas we hove learnt, that in us was vested the
discretionary power of ItthrlivtiOil or rejection ; the Censorship
of the Prose only extending to the protectiJu of the interests of

The present ('ommander of the Rambler is Mr. llolliday, the
former Chief Justice. Captain Powell, with live of hie crew, were
massacred on the island of Version (one of the Friendly Islands),
on the 3d inst. The circumstance that gave rise to this tragic
occurrence is as follows:
Captain Powell had been cruising for four or five slays off the
island of Carron, whit It time was occupied in procuring Wald' ha
the veneers tine. On the 3d of April. the day preceding the mss.
Nacre, four black men, and as apprentice named Samed Illackmoere,
ran away into the island. The day following application was made
to the King, or Chief, nor the restoration of the boy. Finding
that entreaty was unavailing, Captain l'owell Aired the King a
musket. lUU flints, and a barrel of gunpowder, if he would send oft
the runatirai appretitice. The boy returned an answer, by letter,
to the Captain, refusing to join the ship any more, and desiring
Captain Powell to weigh anchor and be ME At II a. tn. the ehip
was under weigh, and stood up the bay. At noon Captain Powell
fired three of the starboard guns on shOre, at the same time
ordering .Me. Holliday to stand of with the ship. A boat
was then lowered down the larboard quarter, 'aid was manned
and armed with sic hands, besides Captain Powell. The
Twat went on shine, sod returned with a double canoe. which was
made fast a-stern of the ship. The vessel then tacked back again,
made a short board, and once more tacked : when abreast 01 the
beach two mare guns were fired. Captain Powell then made pre-
parations for returning to the shore—giving directions as to the ne-
cessity of lie:ping the ship from going too near; and told Mr. Idol.
belay not to tire. unless he perceived that the natives were too
thickly surrounding and pursuing them. Captain l'owell, for the
bat time, reached the shore, and was seen walking up the beach.
when about 60 or 7U alined natives rtlSiled MIMI hint and four of
the poor men, despatching them in the twinkling of an eye. The
other two seamen being near the host, fled into the sea for refuge;
and although one was wounded with a spear, they succeeded in
regaining the vessel, under curer of one of the Larboard knins. The
names of the men that perished were, Peter Ashhurn, John Jones,
William Bethink. and James Loft. The vessel hiving expe-
rienced a loss of ten hands, with the five runaway.. eselusive of
Captain Powell, Mr. Holliday thought it most prudent to make
the best of his way to Port Jackson. The last worth that the *wt.
fortunate Captain Powell was heard to articulate were—'• Olt, my
Hod. nue Goal ! I am killed !"
The above account is taken from the ship's log, and therefore
may so tar be depended on. But, it may be inquired. how many of
the pour islanders were cut off by the tiring of Capt. Powell, before
he went on shore? And what bail they done? The log gives no
account of any previous barbarity on the part of the natives. Their
canoe was taken away—well-loaded gulls were discharged among
thenta-and there can hardly be a question but inany.'niany, of these
poor heathens thickly fell from the quantity of shot that visited
tcit shore+. After all this, who can account foe the unwarrantable
temerity of Captain Powell in landing himself and men among
such an infuriated host ? Captain Powell, we should think, be.
ceine sacrificed through his own rashness, and four poor fellows
were hurried, with their haplas eunmiander, into an awful eternity !
STD% EY, MAC R.
We have been informed that it has been reported by some of
those belonging to the Namblrr whaler, that our last week's report
of the slaughter of the poor natives of the Friendly Island., and the
massacre of hapless Captain Powell, and part of his crew, was is.
correct. We ran only say that the sew C antler referred us to
Mr. Solicitor Norton for the extract of the ship's log, which was ob.
tained. It. therefore, there he any wrong statement, the stainer the
log is corrected the store satisfactory it will peeve to the cause tif

men became the aggressoni in this, as in many tither unhappy in.
