Nitre are now .enabled...to:Speak.with more de-
cisien•on the character of •the events which
_have
'
occurred at Lima ; and which, 'so far as they
have hitherto gone, appear to be rather gratifying
than other Wise. The prince of. Orange, a vessel
fsqm Valparaiso, has .brought letters from that
place to the 19th August, and officialpapers,includ-
ing' the first " Gazette of Indepentlent.Peru,"
publiShed at' Lima On 'the. -16th of Juip.L—lf we
a-re to trust these documents, General San Martin
has 'been extremely anxious to: avoid any un7
necesEary shedding of blood. Immediately on
entering the, town'he issued a Proclamation, as-
suring
the inhabitants of the protection of- their
lives and. property, -and ordering the :soldiers
Under his command to treat them with the
Utmost respect. Finding the . town k‘Aerably
tranquil, he addressed a mild and tempe-
rate letter to the 'Archbishop and ,the other
authorities remaining in Lima, in which he
assured them that it was his anxious. desire to
consult the wishes of the, inhabitants, and at the
Same time to promote the independence of Peru
—that in order to ascertain the one, and com-
" Pike the other, it would be desirable that the
whole of the inhabitants, those in authority as
well as those not in authority, should be con-
vened'. together in the public square of the
town, where, if the opinion -of the inhabi-
tants was declared in favour of the indepen-
dent -cause, the Oath of Independence might
at once be administered.—To this the Autho-
rities replied, that it was their wish, as
well as that of the. inhabitants, that Lima
should be declared entirely independent of
Spain, and not of Spain merely, but of every
other foreign Power, and that they.were ready
at any moment to take the Oath of Independence.
—The internal affairs- of- Lima being so far
settled, San Martin directed his attention to
the army of the enemy which. had. partly taken,
refuge in the fortress of Callao, and partly fled
inland toward the mountains. In this part of his
conduct the private accounts give -him the credit
of much humanity and forbearance. - That part
of his forces which had marched in pursuit of
General La Serna breathed nothing but ven-
geance as they left the town. San Martin, how-
ever, as soon as he could find a moment's leisure,
sent a confidential officer after them with instruc-
tions to use every means of, moderating their
rage, -and inducing them, if possible, to avoid
proceeding to extremities, lid entertained hopes
that some of La, Serna's officers would be in-
clined to surrender if they were sure of obtain
ing security and protection: and he'issued posi-
tive orders that in such case they should .be
treated with every' attention and respect, and
receive all the holiours of their rank, the same
as if they belonged to the Independent army.

[MORNING POST.I,

We have received a file of Papers from
Charleston to the 15th ult. They continue tp
complain loudly of the depredations committed
by the pirates iii the neighbourhood of the Ha-
vannah. These robberies are -chiefly carried on
by small vessels, which, upon the sight of a ves-
sel of any description, run out of some creek,
and pounce upon their prey, and are shortly af-
terwards safe on land again with their booty.—
The following extracts contain some advice to
mariners, which, if attended to, would disap-
point these small piratical cruizers, at least of
their prospects of plunder, by the vessels keeping
cut of sight of land, instead of 'Tuning along the
coast of Cuba :

[From the Charleston Courier of Nov. 13.] •
We are indebted to Lieutenant Kearney for the following in.
formation:—

The United States brig Enterprise, on the Gth inst. boarded
off the Double-head Shot Keys the Columbian privateer Con-
gress, Captain Alincida, from a cruize off Cadiz, who reported
•that she had had an engagement with a Spanish man of war
brig, two schooners, and some gun-boats, off that place, which
continued two hours.
The Columbian privateer La Centilla was also boarded off
Cape Antortio by tue Enterprize, on the 16th ult. and was on
the Bth inst. spoken by. the Congress privateer off Matanzas;
where she is now cruizmg. These vessels are regularly- corn-
missibned.

A CARD.—Merchant vessels passing Cape Antonio should
not approach the land nearer than to be seen from aloft, a's the
coast is infested with a number of piratical vessels and boats;
who screen themselves from view under cover of the land, and
wait the approach of vessels until they come within the usual
distance when passing the Cape.
The bast course in making the Cape is N.-by W. until they
get into lat. 22.110. N. or about, 30 miles N. of the Cape. This
course leads them out of the track of those robbers. The usual
course steered N. by E. carries you .close to their rendezvous.
In'calculating the distance run, one and a half knots.per hour
should be allowed for a current setting south.

[BRITISH PRESS.]

We have received the Paris Papers of Wed-
ne4day and Thursday. Theitfrairs. of Spain con-
stitute the most interesting and prominent part of
their contents. Cadiz and Seville have placed
themselves in a state of open revolt and direct
opposition to the Government, and several other
places are .ready 'to follow their example. A
violent agitation is said to prevail in the several
provinces. •Reports of an intended separation
are circulated, a result which their different cus-
toms and usages, it is presumed, would greatly
facilitate. The Spaniards must feel much -in-
debted to their neighbours for this kind anticipa-
tion of a revolution. It is very true that the several
parts of Spain are strongly distinguished by the
peculiarctiscoms and usages by which they were
forinerly characterised as kingdoms, but we- see
no goodto be derived frofna.ny plan of resolving
them into their for Mer condition.' An immense
terti tory •may require a federal system, but Spain,
althougll'of large extent, is a compact country,
with its.capita.l well advanced to its centre, and
is not of that unwieldy bulk unmanageable by
one immediate Government... -The Crown of
Spaino may indeed be considered as already re-
lieved' froth 69.riy,of its thorns, thus. rendering its
Governtnent Lintlell easier task than it haS proved_
since the:da'ys of -Columbus. Its American ter-
ritories mill, no`longer divide its cares and bur-
den its, councils: It will henceforth be able to
devote its whole 'attention to its 'possessions itt
Europe. The King has communicated the con-
duct of Cadiz and Seville to the Extraordinary

Cortes, who have agreed to take the subject info
consideration, and promised their support. The
misunderstanding will be probably settled by
some modification• of the Ministry, or-the ap-
pointment of Governors more congenial with the
wishes of these two cities than those whom they
have refused to acknowledge.

[THE TIMESI
If we may credit the accounts from Spain, the
state of that kingdom is more than serious—it is
indeed alarming not perhaps so much for the
friends of Spanish liberty, since that, We trust,
stands impregnable to the storm, as for the lovers
of peace and the present interests of settled so-
ciety, which, though ultimately safe, may in.the
mean time be rudely shaken: Addresses are
pouring in against the Ministers from both ex-
tremities of the Peninsula : one from Cadiz of the
17th November, directed to the Cortes, signed
by the Political Prefett .Tauregby, and all the
constituted authorities of the place, is couched in
terms of the most reproachful bitterness, and
levelled substantially at the King himself. The
people of Cadiz refused to accept the Baron
D'Andilla for their Governor, as they had pre-
viously rejected the Marquis de la Reunion.
The address contains, amongst other accusations,
a charge against the Ministers of having at-
tempted to smuggle away the said Andilla to
Andalusia, and take possession of Cadiz by sur-
prise, pending an ostensible discussion with the
Cortes of the grounds on which they justified his
appointment. At Seville, and throughout An-
dalusia generally, there is said to prevail a more
than common ferment.—The Cadiz Address, and
the defiance of the King's orders there manifest-
ed, became the subject of a message from Fer-

dinand to the Cortes on the 25th tilt. The Mi-
nister at `Vary gave a statement explanatory, and
in support, of the message. He mentioned also,

,
that Gen. Moreno, who had been dispatched to
take upon him' the command at Seville, was
sent about his business like the other. The dis-
position of the north-west of Spain is no less hos-

the to Ministers than that of Andalusia. An
address from Cornnna; breathing language
equally violent, is given in the French Papers.—
How far the anti-ministerial spirit may have
been justified by. the unconstitutional conduct on
which it professes to ground its, Unexampled ve-
hemence, is more than we can say. We are dis-
inclined to belie* that an attachment, to repub-
licanism has any root among the Spanish people ;
but it is-difficult to guess what men -may be pro-
voked to, when they think themselves unwor-
thily and treachergusly treated.
