LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1921.

The designs of the Bourbons, with regard to South Ame-
rica, became every day more clearly apparent, and arc more
candidly avowed. The Eb.ile of Wednesday copies from
the Gazette some despatches from the Governor of
Puerto Rico, dated the 13th of May, in which the com-
plete overthrow of Bolivar, and the entrance of the Roy-
alist General Canterac into the capital of Colombia are
announced. These principal facts are garni' Al with as
amusing an accompaniment of suitable details as the occa-
sion required, and the whole is served up with some very
edifying comments on the " ignorance and bail faith
of the London journals." In another column our rea-
ders will find this specimen of French news set out at
full length. We have judged it fitting to do so in this in-
stance, not because we are disposed to give our assistance
in the slightest degree to the circulation of intelligence
which we know to be untrue ; but in order that we may
spare ourselves the necessity of repeating the falsehoods
that may hereafter be put forth by the Bourbon journals
as to South America. A tissue of more unmingled and
absolute mendacity was never 'aid before the world, than
that which we this slay extract from the Eloile. The ar-
ticle,
however, is not without its uses. After reading it,
no man will ever again be deceived by any intelligence
coming through that channel, even though it again be in-
vest:ll with "an official character." It happens rather
unfortunately for the inventors of this " official intelli-
gence" from Puerto Rico, that it will not have the usual
tun on which we believe liars ordinarily calculate. By the
same post with the Doge yesterday, we received Caraccas
Gezelies of the 26th of May, in which we find the fol-
lowing notice:—
" ST. THOMAS, MAT TO, 1824.

" The sews hum Puerto Ric; Is. dist Canierac is in Bogota:
Bolivar In Carthame; the Congress in Guanialito; Maracaibo
threatened by eight heed red men who have revolted in Luba; and
Cmacem ey amerce. It states also that Sucre, who was in Are-
quipa, had requested a supply of troops from Venezuela.
" If this be not news, it is at all events a hirce, and one must
have a little of every thing.
Such are the despicable expedients of our enemies to prevent the
recognition of our independence by Forign States. The best an.
%wet to this farrago of nonsense is the Message of the Tice Presi-
dent to the Congress, which we publish this day.
" A mail from Bogota, which arrived this morning, is stated to
have brought the no-ideation of our late Intendant General Soul).
lette to the situation of Envoy to Great Britain. We know of no
one more adapted to the oilier; and should this statement he true,
our only regret will be, that these constant changes are deemed ne-
cessary, since they tend to retard the final aljustnient of our nego-
tiations in England, and give u very unjust impression of the con-
sistency of our counsels."
After a refutation so opportune and decisive, it is not r.e-
cessary to refer more particularly to the dates of the last
stlvices from Colombia and Peru. It will be sufficient to
say generally, that much of the news in the Etoile we
know to be utterly groundless, and contrary to the facts,
and we are bound to presume that the rest has as little
foundation. 'Pc are told, for example, of " the sudden
return of the English Commissioners, bloodstained with an
assassination." Now this paragraph the Elate wrote
either in " ignorance" or in " bad faith," for we know
that the English Commissioners have not returned, and
that no assassination hat. been committed upon them. The
Finite must have known that Mr. Crawford, the American
Gentleman, who was shot by the banditti in Mexico,
had no connection whatever with the English Commission.
The mutiny at Maracaibo has certainly not taken place.
Letters received yesterday from St. Thomas's, dated the
13th of June, state, that a schooner had arrived the day
before from Maracaibo, and that the most perfect tran-
quillity then prevailed. Some absurd rumours were also
circulated yesterday on the Stock Exchange. They would
be wholly unworthy of being mentioned, but as evidences
of the designs out of which they originate. Some attempt
will probably be made to recover some of the rich and valu-
able Colonies of South America. The Bourbons cannot
endure to renounce their dominion over the " fertile corm-
irks of the New iVorld;" and we learn accordingly, in'
addition to the corps forming in Spain, and the fleet col-
lecting at Cadiz, that orders have been given to erect a
line of telegraphs from that port to Madrid. Notwith-
standing the treachery which has been at work in Peru, we
have no apprehensions for the fate of South America. The
dissentious among the Peruvian patriots, we admit, seem to
he exceedingly rancorous and deadly. Tone Tagle, the late
President of the Republic, on joining the Spaniards, issued
a proclamation, in which he denounces Bolivar as " the
greatest monster and tyrant that ever existed on the face of
the earth," and charges him with intending to enslave Peru!
These ettacks, however, are too preposterously unjust to
injure the object at whom they are aimed. An able and
interesting articie on the state of Peru will be found in
another part of our papa to-day. It brings the late trans-
actions in that country immediately under the eye. The
account it gives of the divisions which base taken place
between the Royalists will be read with much attention.
It appears that Olancta, the Spanish Commander in Upper
Peru, is bigotedly attached to the absolute Government of
Ferdinand. The other Spanish Generals, Laserna, Can-
tome, and Valdez, arc all Constitutionalists, and Olaneta
has provoked their hostility by denouncing them as rebels
in a yublic proclamation. We are inclined to believe,
as we suggested two or three days ago, that some agree.
ment has been made between the Constitutional Spanish
Generals and the party of Tone Tagle, for the esta-
blishment of some kind of military government in Peru.
It is lamentable that the destinies of mankind should thus
be sported with; but any inelepemk•nt Government is pre-
ferable to the best connection that emit' be formed under
the mildest constitution between Spain and her colonies.
We are not without hopes that the independence of Peru
may yet be accomplished without any.bloodshed on the
part of the Colombians. If the bigot Olaneta should proceed
to extremities with the other Spanish Generals, that con-
test will ra all probability be the last with which the plains
of Peru will be stained. Olenata is too feeble ttrwithstand
the shock, and be will perish the just mr.rtyr of his base,
and servile principles.

The Brussels papers of Wednesday were received last
night. The Russian troops on the Pruth were in motion,
for the purpose of watching the evacuation of Moldavia
and irallaebia, which, by a simulated movement, the
Divan, it is alleged, intend still to delay. The Turkish
troops now in the provinces will be withdrawn, but imme-
diately afterwards replaced by others sent by the Paella of
silistria. This wretched expedient will hardly deceive
anybody. The Divan will only manifest its reluctance to
yield, while it conftsacs its powerlessness to refuse com-
pliance with the demands inse•.! upon it. The conferences
at Jobannitlierg have not been confirm! to German matters.
The 'Airs of the south of Europe and of Brazil have been
discussed, and a memorial relative to Greece is also re-
ported to have been among the subjects of consideration.
While the present European alliances subsist, it is quite
Aar that the Sovereigns or their Ministers will seldom
nset.4o consult respecting any particular question, without
throwing their eyes generally over the whole state of 1
Europe. It is one of the cilia of this system, that the
I'ewert not included in it can =ter knew wizen their

safety is menaced. The plot is kept secret till the blow
can be struck. The cordon sanilaire is then changed into
an invading army, and before war is declared the work of
,conquest is half achieved. The German Universities are
to be remodelled, and the course of public instruction
H purified," in the sense in which Ferdinand of Spain
1" purifies" the public authorities of that country.

AUGSBURG, June 25.
It is really worth the while to read (to convince ourselves that
they have been uttered) all the contradictions punished by the
Allonicime Zitenc, relative to the expedition promised by the
Viceroy of Egypt. Numberless times it hie affirmed that the
expedition could not take place v all, on account of the disaster at
Cairo, and the Viceroy was besides at open variance with the
Porte. And now an article, dated Egypt, 3d May, tells us pre-
cisely the contrary.
Leine/ire COURESPONDEXCE.I
At the departure of the last courier, some movements were ob-
served in the army of General Sabanieff in Bessarabia, as well as
among the other Russian troops stationed along the Pruth.
It is reported that the General had received information that the
Turkish troops now In Moldavia and Wsllachla were making pre-
Porvions to quit those provinces, and retire to the right bank of
the Danube; but that they would be immediately replaced by
other corps, to be sent by the Pacha of Silistris.
It was generally supposed that the movements of the Russian
Commander-in-Chief were for the purpose of watching more neatly
this simulated evacuation by the Tutka, conformably to secret in-
structions sent to him, It la said, (tom the head-quarters of the
Repairman:ly of the west, statioued on the Pruth.
P. S. As we are closing our letter, a report is generally spiced,
that unforeseen political circumstances have given occasion to ex-
traordinary conferences between the Marquis of Carman, Prince
Ilatzfeld, and .31. ale Thrischiff, all now at Johannisberg, with
Prince 3letternich, and that despatches have been sent to London,
Vienna, Berlin, Petersburgh, and Paris.
AUGSBURG, JrNE 27.

(nIIVATE CONIIESPONDENL E.)
As we hue stated, the conferences between Prince 3letternich,
Marquis Caesium, Al. de Tatescheff, and Prince Havreld, are
very frequent.
It appears that the affairs of the South of Europe, u well as of
Brazil, are seriously discussed. Report speaks also, but vaguely,
of a memorial relative to Greece, said to have been presented to
the Austrian Meister, as well a. of a note transmitted front Con-
stantinople by Raton (hteafels. in which the w.nole of the crooked
policy of the Nein is fully laid open.
As for the affairs of Oveustiv, it is affirmed that Prince Met-
ternich, after having mined the views of his Cabinet to be made
known to the Sove.reigns of that country, has contented himself
with verbally explaining them to those German Ministers now at
Johannisberg, who have lest no time in sending reports to their
respective Governments.
Princess Metternich and her daughters receive every evening the
Foreign Ministers, sewers! of whom, for want of room in the
chateau, lodge in hodtes in the neighbouring communes of the
Hhingau, where they are near Johannisberg. The company is
always very numerous. The Prince is sometimes present ; bat
his occupation will not allow him to be present every evening.
Two more diplomatic • ulemen have arrived at Johannisberg.
viz. :—Count Mann ueep Woruzoh Ituat4an Minister et
Munich, and Baron Anutetten, Russian Envoy at Frankfort.
Ill•mouRGII, JUNE 30. 1
The King and Queen of Sweden arrived at the camp in `cants
on the 13th June, and the Crown Prince and Princess on the 23d.
The Prince has recovered from hie indisposition. The camp will
break up on the Ath of July.
FIt•NNFORT, JUNE 30.
The organisation of the Prussian Universities will undergo great
changes. They will be placed under very strict surveillance.
The rulers will no looger be elected by the ordinary professors,
as heel been the custom frees time iminemorial_.• but for • certain
number of years will be nominated by the King. The Culver-
shies will be deprived of their privileged jurisdiction.
The Duke of base Weimar has resolved that the statutes of the
University of Jena shall be revised ; this measure agreeing with
the policy of the Court of Berlin, is intended to prevent any kind
of secret association.

Bnt.ssEts, JULY 5.
Letters from Batavia d January last, announce that Baton de
Capetian. the Governor General, has remind his 31ajony's permis-
sion to return home, and will leave the Government in the hards
of General De Cock. ,

Intelligence was reeeived yesterday, through several
channels, from Greece, all highly favourable to the cause
of the brave people of that country. The statements re-
specting the defeat of Dervish i'acha, the Turkish com-
mander-in-chief, . are confirmed. Greek valour has again
successfully defended the passes of Thermopylae. The
contest was one of the most obstinate by which even this
sanguinary struggle has been distinguished. The Pacha
was encamped at Larissa, from whence he proceeded with
great haste to force the passes. The Greeks defended
them with the most determined fortitude, and, notwith-
standing a series of attacks of the 'nest desperate fury,
finally repulsed their issaihnts with considerable loss. The
Turkish troops are represented to have fought with the
utmost courage, and to have rendered the issue of the
battle for some time useertain. The Pacha fell back upon
Larissa% where It was tnderstood he was awaiting the
arrival of some reinforcements from Remelia. This event
is of the highest importance to the Greek cause. Dervish
Pacha is not only the Turkish Generalissimo, but con-
fessedly one of the beet Captains in the Turkish army.
His defeat, therefore, will produce the most decisive effects
throughout all the provinces of Greece. We learn, also,
that in order to insure the greatest advantages from this
repulse, l'rince :ilavrocordato, the President of the Greek
Government, had marched with a body of picked troops
against the Turks under Omer Vrione. As the latter
were in a disorderly state, the most confident expec-
tations prevailed, that they would be defeated with
ease. The Prince would then combine his operations
with those of Nicolas. who had been ordered to penetrate
into Thessaly by way of Livadia. Its the centre of Thcs-
saly the two armies would form a junction, and be prepared
to co-operate with greet effect against Dervish Paella before
he could he reinforced. The corps of Constantine Bozzaris
have had an engagement wits' the troops under the Pacha
of Scutari. The Greeks were again victorious. Ilozzaris
remained master of the field of battle, and the Turks had
fled in every direction. Altogether, the affairs of the
Greeks are going on in the most prosperous style. The
military Chiefs are submitting to the General Government,
and the deliverance of the classical soil is every day ren-
dered less doubtful. Among the Greek newspapers re-
ceived yesterday, the Telrgrafo Greco contains a spirited
proclamation by Conduriotti, on the duty of union and the
necessity of submitting to the legitimate authority. An
article dated the 49th of April announces the entry of the
Government troops into Tripolitza, and expresses a fer-
vent hcpe, that Napoli di Romania would in a few days
be garrisoned in a similar manner. The insubordination
of Culocotroni has, therefore, we trust, ceased, and the
military feuds will be completely extinguished. Till they
are, Greece cannot ware herdinktendence. The general
feeling against her ruthless oppressors meanwhile inspires
fresh bodies of volunteers. An expedition was preparing
to drive the Turks out of the remaining points they yet
occupy in Macedonia. If the Podia of Egypt had been
disposed to furnish aid to the Pone, be now has employ-
ment enough on his own dominions. A new Wechabite
prophet had made his appearance in Upper Egypt, with a
large army of Arabs, and had commenced hostilities against
the Pacha. The entire population of the part in which
the prophet had stationed himself were his devoted fol-
lowers. The Paella had sent all his disposable force to
quell this insurroction ; but it would be more than the
work of a day. Before the recite will be at liberty safely
to despatch alien to Camila, :he success of the Greeks will,
in all probability, have enabled them to meet it on the
open sea, and sink it as soon as it leaves poet. But
we shall disbelieve the sincerity of the Egyptian Pacha
to aid the Porte until he places it above suspicion
by his deeds. The naval force of the Tanis in the
Gulf of Lepanto consists of only eight vessels, viz.
three frigates, two corvettes, and three brigs. The Greeks
have in the waters of Ipsara 180 sail of small ves-
sels, incapable, from their size, of.r.ttseking the Tuikish
ships. The Greek Goternmenti it is understood, nave re-
solved to expend a great portion of the remittance they
have. received on account of the loan in the purchase of
English metchalt-vessels, of which they intend feria a

nary. In the Greek papers is a letter frau: the Honourable
Leicester Stanhope, dated at Salons, and addressed to the
Ipsariotes. It congratulates them on their valour and pa-
triotism, and announces to them, that the Greek Commit-
tee has presented them with a printing press. We have
no doubt that this judicious gift will be very acceptable.
he Greeks have made great progress lately in knowledge
and literature. Five newspalv rs are now published
in Greece, via.:—At Missolunglii, the Greek Chronicle,
and the Greek Telt A-roph ; at Hydra, the F, /end ofii.c
Laws ; at Athens, the Free Press ; and at Psara,
the Para Newspuier. These appearances accord with tl:e
warmest wishes of the Friends of Greek freedom. The
triumph of Greece is no longer questionable.

Sir George Wood, who lately retired from the office of
one of the Barons of the Exchequer, died at his house in
Bedford-square last night. This Learned person, we be-

his faculties unimpaired till within a short period of his
death. As a lawyer, in the technical sense of the word,
Sir George was deservedly celebrated, and for many years
commanded at the bar a considerable share of what is called
the " heavy business" of the profession.
Mr. Scarlett is indisposed with a cold. Several motions
which were to have been brought on on Thursday, in the

I)ovss, Jt t.v 7.—lt has long been matter of surprise,
considering the great traffic between this port and the
Netherlands, that neither the Government nor any private
individual should have established steam-packets ere this
between Dover and Ostend; and it has frequently occurrent
that passengers have gone by the way of Calais, rather
than be subject to a protracted passage by the sailing-
packets; at length the spirited owners of the Britannia
and Monarch, steam-vessels, have determined to continue
their vessels plying between Dover and Ostend, and on
Saturday last the Britannia sailed with passengers for that
port, and returned
boors and a quarter. The Monarch,
with a carriage and passengers, sailed to-day for Ostend.
Sailed also his Majesty's new swain-packet the Fury, hav-
