" The account of the acknowledgment of the
independence of three South American States by
the British Government has• excited an extra-
ordinary sensation here,-particularly as it so
iramedi;:tely succeeds intellizence of the
annihilation of the Spanish. Power in Peru, Which
thns establishes de facto the ,complete independ-
ence of an that Continent, 'the inhabitants are
naturally anxious respecting -their own destiny in
this new, although not unexpected turn otatrairs;
and a Gentleman of respectability is deputed
to proceed to the Court of Spain in behalf
of this Islat4d, to treat, upon its best interests.

fluence or property, still speak in repeated but
low_ murmurs about itadependeike; but the mass
of talent and property Brad ,any innovation on
account of the slave popttiation-."
