energies of .her Government and People there
can be little doubt that she would soon be f able
to drive the French Armies from her soil, and,
to dictate the terms of an hOnourable and per-
manent Peace at the foot of the Pyrenees.

The reports relative to the arrost of the Count
of ABISBAL, and his having been shot by his
troops, are stated .by the Journal des Daats to
be void of all foundation. 'With respect
to the letter, whiCh is admitted by this Jour-
nal to have been addressed by the Count
of ABISBAL to the Duke of ANGOULEME, and
which was reported to have met with an un-
favourable reception from his Royal Highness,
the following is the whole of the article which
appears in the above Journal relative to this
subject

" The truth is, that the Duke of Angouleme will treat with
no General, with no separate Army, but only with King Fer-
dinand, when set free, or with the Government which King
Ferdinand shall freely have established. This does not
mean to say, however, that he will prevent the sentiments
of an honourable repentance, accessions wisely and usefully
combined, or conciliatory and profitable Ideas from becom.
ing, after the establishment of a legitimate authority, the
bases of the new Administration. But neither the ideas nor
the sentiments of any individual, nor of any chief of party on
whatever side he may be, can become at this moment a sub.
ject of negociation.

" All that remains certain concerning the step taken by the
Count Abisbal, is the positive declaration of this General on
the real situation of the interior of Spain ; is the instructive
and terrifying picture of the desperate state of the affairs of the
Party domineering in the Cortes, and of the universal disposition
of all men of influence to abandon or even to overthro,v an au-
thority, whose prolonged agony might still occasion so many
unavailing calamitieit: The Letter of this General announces
that his measure wax combined with the Commanders most
esteemed by the troops, such as Morino and Tiallasteros, and
declares that the principal Chiefs of the army, obeying, with re-
luctance, a Ministry without skill and an assembly without pc-
Meal weight, incited with all their wishes, a better order of
things, and were ready to hail, as a Liberator, the Noble Prince,
who had no'other desire than that of promptly closing the glori-
ous part which he had assumed."

SANTIAGO, JAN. 29, 1423.
The authorities and people of this capital haring assembled
yesterday to arrange, with the Supreme Director, measures
conducive to the maintenance of public tranquillity, the meet-
ing terminated in the issuing by his Excellency of the follow.
ing decree

" Believing, under existing circumstances, that 'my retire-
ment from the supreme government of the state may contribute
to the public tranquillity, and finding an agreement on this
point with the people of Santiago, the only medium with which
I can communicate in the present crisis, (since there is not now
assembled any national representation, to whom I can convey
my renunciation of office,) 1 have determined to resign its pro.:
visional exercise to an administrative junta, eomposed of citi-
zens D. Ag
ustin Eyzaguirre 1) , D. Jose Miguel Infante, and D.
Fernando Errazurra. This junta shall procure with the least
possible delay the assembling of the national representation,
with the understanding, that if, after an interval of six months,
the differences now existing between the provinces of this state
shall not be removed, the services of the administrstive junta
shall cease, and their functions be supplied in any way that may
seem best to the people of Santiago. And to the end that the I
junta may know what are its attributes and faculties, the com-
mission proposed by the people, and consisting of citizens D.
Jan Egana, Dr. D. Bernardo Vera, and D. Joaquin Campine,
shall proceed to fix them.
