ADVENTURERS TO SOUTH ANIERMA.

" The proofs of the mi,ery attending emigra-
tion to North America, are scarce equal to the
horrors, which have overtaken•the adventurers to
South America, in aid of the Spanish Rebels.—
Seduced by the specious. descriptions and glowing
falsehoods of unprincipled writers, -thousands of
enterprising young tuen,have fallen into the pit of
ilisery prepared for thim. There have been no
distinctions in the fate which indiscriminately
overwhelmed British Officers and disbanded .pri-
'vale solifiers and sailors—the spirited sous of re-
spectable families, and needy or desperate adven-
turvrs.

On the 31st of inly, about a hundred British
Officers, noturUhstanding the solemn warnings
which were given theni, embarked at Portsmouth,
on hoard the Two Friends, on this desperate and
culpable enterprise. Amongst these was a young
Officer,t he son of a re.spectable Gentleman in this

town., Front his anxions dint afflicted Fadier we

have received the following Extract from his firgt
• Letter —not an unfair and garbled extract, but
containing lively word of the original at all relat-
ing to the sunjecr. It will be ;sad by the public
• with interest—wilb pity and indignation—pity for
the sufferings of -the unfortunate men, and indig-
nation aghast the cold-blooded villainy of their
• beti avers.
" We know that this Letter was also carried to
- the Editor of The Mercury ; and we trult that very
fair and impartial' Gentleman can satisfactorily
account for dismissing it with a short paragraph,
not in the slightest degree descriptive-of its con-
tents. Though he must he conscious that not a
small shark( of the responsibility for all this mis-
chief ought to rest upon his own bead, yet instead
• .of expressing any compunction, he contents him-
self with speaking -of the affair as an individual
• disappointment to the Officers by that single ship.
Not one word of the three British Officers who
died of want f—Not• a, word of tide danger of
sharing the same fate, from which the writer him-
self was rescued by the humanity of a Frenchman !
Not a word of the ruined cause of the Indepen-
dents, or rather Banditti t nor of the numerous
Officers whO are returning from -their Service, in
. a state of naked wretchedness, after having
. been plundered - of every thing by the robbers
with whom they had the dishonour to be asso.

4"_ Island of Thomas, Oct. e, 1817.
" DEAR FATHER,.--We arrived here on the
• :Ist •of Sep:ember, after a most unpleasant
voyage, but the most unpleasant part of the
event is, that we 'have all completely been im-
• posed upon, and taken in, for you will scarce cre-
dit me when I inform you, that instead of meet-
ing an agent here to pay us our dollars, and give
directions as to our removal to the Spanish Main,
and tb transact the other necessary business of
the ship, as promised by that Mr. Mendez
(the agent in London), we found ourselves ino;t
shattlefidly duped, and not a single snuff to ad-
vance-a farthing for the skip, neither by hills, or
any other plan, so that the Captain has been un-
der the necessity of selling part of. the ship's
stores, &c. to pay the port charges, and we to
part with our clothes to get a meal, having•left
the ship, and endeavouring to get a•passage for
our return to England, the affairs of the Inde-
pendents being in such a wretched situation, as
'to preclude the possibillity of going on. Such
'unfortunate officers, Americans, Fiend),
&c. as had entered their service, have been
ret trruing by this island, in a most wretched state,
having been robbed of their clothes and effects ;
_and the descriptions they give arc truly shocking,
being nothing but a set of hand,tti, living on raw
. meat like cannibals, all quarrelling one with an.
ether, and instead of au army, there are two' or
three parties, jealous of t itch other, and conse-
Trendy injuring the cause they wish to serve. On
imy first arrival here, when I found the situation
(if things, I &let mined to return, as did also a
great number of the most yespectable characters,
ainongst whom is Lieut. P— -t of the Ma-
rines, who resides at Portsmouth, and who will
put this letter into the post for me.
" We are trot the only ship that has been taken
in, a schooner with 30 or 40 officers left England
on the same terms that we did, arrived here, and
found themselves in a similar situation with ours
-Selves ; after selling their effects to pay their
-debts, they got into debt again, and being unable
to pay, some were put into dungeons, others fled
to the Mountains, where three of them died
through want of food, and the rest, in the greatest
distress, returned back to England. There is no
British Consul here,. therefore no means of getting
money, even by bills. All the places on board
the two brigs. that are here direct for England are
taken up by the passengers, consequently I turned
ray attention towards New 'York, thinking 1
could easily get a passage from thence to Eng-
land, by introducing myself to Messrs•
but how to accomplish this I was at a loss, being
svithout money, and the Captain having refused
to take me on my promise of paying him on my
arrival ,at New York, and it is more than proba-
ble, 1 might have staid to perish, had it not been
for a noble act of generosity I met with how a
res dent Frenchman, Monsieur Souffron, a very
respectable merchant, who most kindly offered to

pAy my passage money in tbe and It. Livy,
to New Bedford (about 16 days and •Irom,
thence in the stage to New York, in one 11.1 v ;
when Loffered hint an ackowiedament for the
!Worley. he refused it, saying he knew I sholild
pay him when I was able; and which 1 promised
to do from New York.,
" The scenes I have witnessed here of our dis-
tress, I was not prepared to expect ; we love been
obliged to sell every thin:..7 mein% and eYenltece"
sary ; if that Monlet could take a view of
us, I think lie 'Would repent.' "

" LAUSANNE, Nov. 2l.—The Ministers of
France and Austria have, in concert, transmitted
an official note, formally complaining of 'several
public Journals of Switzerland, which become the
echo of incendiary Journals in. other Countries,
directed by incorrigible Revolutionists, and de-
clared enemies to the repose of nations. These
two Ministers also complain or' incendiary Pamph-
lets, which they designate by name, circulated by
means of the Swiss presses in France. They con-
cliide their note by demanding the effe.:-tual sup-
pression of these scatulalous abuses of the Press.".

Lest we should be mistaken as to what we said
yesterday, in answer to the article which appeared
in The Anti-Gallican Monitor of Sunday last, wet
chink it necessary to resume the subject. When
we declared our conviction that the continuance
nt the Army of Occupation in France was abso-
lutely essential to secure the continuance of the
King upon the Throne, we did not Mean to
say that we conceived the majority of French/mil
to be inimical to his Government, but, on the
contrary, intimated our belief that the wise part of
else French People would reflect on their sufferings,
under the control!l of bloody miscreants, and re-
.
joice iq.tlte rectotatiou of their lawful Monarch,

flit how 'easily are a .people, or at least such a
part of the pe,:ple, Who may be ahle awe the
rest, seduced by artifice., 'terrified by Menaces, Or
tempted by interest; hm-V easily, we say,. mIY a
peOple he prompted to thrOU7 off their allegiance
by such means; and incited trio by the hopes of
shaving in the Government ! The dreadful -hist
cofy of the French Revnlution slims with what
facility artful, anibitions, and wicked men can ter-
rify a people and spread ruin over a State. France,
therefore, and all Euinpe, cannot be too cautious
lest the same cause izhiitild produce the same effects.
ft is eVident that there is a Jacobinical predorni-
nance ih the present French Ministty. it is im-
possible that if the Kbig were not influenced in
his choice of Ministers by a desire of temporary
repose, after all that he and his Country have suf-
fered; that he would haVe selected such Men
as, directly or indirectly, had a Aare in pro-
ducing the miseries of Vrance, and in uphold-
ing the authority of a flagitinus Usurper. They
have forted themselves upon him by their intrigueS;
and obliged him to decline the serviEei of those
who feel fur his honour, who participated in his
sufferings, and who have the character of their
country More in view than the possession of pri-
ical power. Such men are excluded from a share
in the Government, and are honourably branched
by the name of Ultras, as if such men had not suf-
ficiently tasted of trrisfortnn- a, and were likely to
expose themselves and their country to new hor-
rors, by measures tending to injure that country,
and to incense its people. Those who revile or
ridicule those Ultras, as they are artfully and in-
vidiously designated, may be reasonably suspected-
of having some secret bias, and they give strength
to the rumours circulated, not ()Orin Paris, but
in this .CO.nntry, that the French Minister is daily
-attended by an English Agent, for the base pur-
pose of learning from that Minister what 'is to be
conveyed to the English Nation, through the base
medium of a corrupted English Journal ?

-The vacillating speculations of The Morning
Chronicle are not much calculated to raise its po-
litical Credit. A. few days ago the Emperor of
RUSSIA was held forth by it as the great Bugbear
of Europe, hut now the King of Paussta has ex-
cited its apprehensions, lest his demands on France
should.tend to embroil that Kingdom with new
distresses. How long is it' Since The Morning
'Chronicle felt such concern for' France, except,

indted, for the •Jacotinical part of Sit, who have

strangely arisen into power, and whri may weld
alarm,. and he expected to disturb the tranquillity
.of other States, if they should be permitted to gain
the ascendant in that kingdom. But of all the
audacious, ant', at the same time, s7lly suggestions
of The Chronicle, its observation, in a pretended
letter from Paris, that Prussia " feels conscious
that she, has wounded the pride and excited the
animosity of the French Nation collectively, by
injudicious insults and an ungenerOus abuse of
victory," is the most contemptible. Does The
Chronicle suppose that its credulous Readers
have lust all recrillection ? What were the
sufferings of Prussia tinder French
*Domina-
tion % Was not the Prussian Monarch driven
from his Throne, obliged to part with a portion
of his territories, dragged into a war with Powers
with whom he was anxious to remain in the most
amicable alliance, by France ? Did not the Queen of
Paussra fall, broken-hearted, a victim to the insults
which her Husband, her Country, and herself had
experienced ? Was not this mass of injury, irijnv-
lice, insult, and oppression►, sufficient to justify,
retaliation on the part of Prussia, if ever she ob-
tained the Power of retribution ? It matters not

to urge that it was BUONAPARTE, and not•
" the French Nation collectiveffy " that in-
flicted these miseries on Prussia, for " the
French Nation collectively" submitted to the. yoke
of that Monster, and therefore • ought to be
'an'sfverible .for Lis conduct. But bow does it ap-
pear, except in the false rumours, and confident
assertions of mischievous spit its, that Prussia has
acted with harshness towards France in making
demands which she is at present incapable of
discharging. The necessities of Prussia, brought
on by " the French Nation collectively," may.
require from France an adherence to the ohliga:
lions which it incurred for its own restoration to
a legitimate Government, under which alone the
French People can he happy and secure. But from
the known character of the King of PRUSSIA,
it is by no means likely that be would make any'
demands, except such as might be prompted
by his -Own necessities, and why, under all
circumstances, he should feel more tenderness
for France than for himself, it is difficult to con-
ceive. Besides, is it likely that, in any measures
which Prussia might ad►►pt towards France, it
ivould not consider its own character, and the itn-

pressian which its conduct would make upon other
S►arcs, before it proceeded to Any harsh extremi-
ties 1‘ it is also probable, that iu any measures
