By the Jamaica Mail we have accounts from
Peru rid Bogota, which, while they confirm the
defection of Riva:Aguero from.the Independaut
4ause, announce also- his arrest and consequent
incapacity to retard the cause of Independence in
that quarter. Bolivar having been obliged, in-
conformity with the resolutions of the Peruvian
Congress, to employ force to annihilate the par..
tizans-• of Riva Aguero, had in consequence
marched 4 portion of his forces against the
corps of that rebel, which consisted of about four
thousand men. On
_the appearance of those troops
before the corps of Bolivar in front of
this squadron, one of the Officers of the latter, in
the name of his companions, proclaimed their
union with the legitimate Government of Peru,
arrested Aguero and Herrehano, who commanded
them, and gave them up to the Liberator. After
this event, the troops ranged themselves quietly
under the Independent banner; and thus has
ietminated a -commotion which, at one time,
looked of a most serious nature, and teemed
with danger to the cause of the South American
States. Aguero and Herrehano were conducted
under a strong escort .to:Guyaquil, from whence
they were to be sent to the Isthmus, and
finally to Europe. The accounts from Porto
Rico state, that a flag of truce had been sent from
the Authorities there to the intendant of_Vene-
zuela, demanding the Spanish subjects, who,
from want of the means of travelling, had been
arrested under the conditions of the decree of ex-
pulsion passed by the Colombian Republic. The
sittmber of persons in this Condition did not ex-.
--ceed three, who were immediately rendered up
fo. the messenger. A discovery of an intended re-
volt among the Blacks is.said to have been made
at Trinidad. We have copied from the Jamaica
Papers a letter from Mr. Huskisson to Mr. Glad.;
stone, on the question of the abolition of Slavery,
wbioh, like-all the able Statesmen's productions,
will be read with interest. It is probable this
letter was not intended for publication ; and we
Cannot 'therefore vouch its authenticity in its
preient shape.

[MORNING GIIRONICIA.3
The. Jamaica Papers received on Saturday,
contain some documents of considerable interest.
The letter-of Mr. Huskisson to Mr. Gladstone,
in particular) will not we think, tend to raise
Mr. Huskisson- in the opinion of the people of
this country. With respect to the case of Mr.
Smith, the Missionary, we regret exceedingly
that Mr. Huskisson should for a moment have
given his countenance to his prosecutors. How
could. Mr. Huskisson suppose that Mr. Smith
was really implicated in the insurrection. With
reapect to another point we think Mr. Huskisson
greatly overseen. He confounds the state of a civil-
ized andCliristian country with a country which is
partially civilized,. and almost wholly Heathen.'
He proposes that Clergymen of the Churches of
England and Scotland should alone be allowed
to preach to the Negroes. We suspect Mr.
Huskisson knows less•of the means by which re-
ligion may be communicated to a people, than of
the principles by which the intercourse between
nations ought-to be regulated. The enthusiasm
whictifits men for making converts is not to be
found among the Clergy of Established Churches.
Ph. Hume's argument, that it is necessary to
bribe the indolence of the Clergy, by bestowing
04 them abundance of the good things of this
world, supposes that religion is in itself a❑ evil.
To tbOse Who think in this way we have nothing
to say ; but, to those who think religion bene-
ficial to mankind, we would say—who are they
rho are most likely to possess the enthusiasm
viiiiCh will alone instigate men to make con-
verts ?
