The Spaniards, it is positively asserted, are
making extraordinary ext rtions. to send all l'3Pc
dition to South America.

Amongst Our extracts from the Morulot

an article from the Times, purporting to be $
sketch of the 'actual condition' of Colo'"l'is_:
drawn up by a Gentleman who has just relorl'"
to England after a residence of several Yes" in
that country. We are glad to see that the 'writ%
is of opinion that the whole of the Colombia
population are sincerely attached to the Ina.'
pendent cause, though that opinion 15 scarce
reconcileable with the admission, that since 1b,1.1,
commencement of the revolution extensive di
tricts of as fine a country as the sun ever shone er,
have been reduced comparatively to tieurti:

from which «e should nut augur any very natter,
ing results, if Spain should really realise

threats of sending out a powerful expediti°
her former colonies. What with the bribery 3,i
corruption of some of the "Pattiotic leaders'
thi
what with the apathy (to say the kW). a

majority of the people,
.pKoduced by severe and
long continued privations, and by the disappoint-
aneat.of all their hopes, those whom enthusiasm
er interest have rendered zealous in their attach-
ment to the existing order of things might find it
very difficillt to sustain the shock, and it is not
too much to anticipate that the freedom of South
America might melt away before an invading
force, like that of Spain in the memorable
campaign of last year. The fact is, that none of
the revolutionary Governments, either of Europe
or America, have known any better than the old
Governments how to improve the condition and
comforts of the mass of the population, by creat-
ing for them beneficial and profitable employ-
meta by wise and direct legislation. Any old
Government having the skill to effect this great
Object, might set at defiance every attempt at
rebellion against its authority, resting secure on
the immovable basis of the love and devotion of
a, comfortable and contented people. On the
Other band, no new Government, however easily
144 completely it may have succeeded in over-
thro!ving its predecessor can be considered
as securely established, unless its measures,
by their evident and direct tendency to
increase the comforts of the people, give
the latter a substantial motive to exert them-
-selves in its support. The failure of all mo-
dern revolutions is, perhaps, chiefly attri-
htable to the ignorance of practical political
economy so manifestly betrayed by public men
at all Political parties. The melancholy con.
tineance of insubordination and violence, even in
Ireland, is acknowledged to be owing to the
wretCbedness of the general people, and to their
want of beneficial employment; and yet even the
Government of this country, misted by the shal-
low and delusive theories of the fashionable Po-
litical Economists, seems to be incapable of re-
sorting to direct means for the remedy of so
calamitous a state of things, and far so disgrace-
ful a reproach upon the British nation.

Buenos Ayres Papers have been received to
the 231 of April. At that date no intelligence
of the result of the military operations its l'eru
had been obtained. The latest numbers of the
iournal entitled El Argos contain the decree ap..
Pointing BOLIVAIt Dictator of Peru, and other
articles connected with that proceeding which,
we have already pUbiiSliPd. OLANETA, in his
proclamation dated Potosi, Feb. 21, declares
that he has wept in secret over the misfortunes
of his country ever since the Constitutional
system was sworn to. The latest intelligence we
futn find from Potosi is dated about the end of
February. It is said that OLANETA had then
