SPAIN.

(Front the Ilapie Courant.,)

.. The activity of the Secietary• of State, the Che-
valier Pizarro, and of the present Ministry, exceed
any thing that has yet.been seen in Spain. Trea-
ties of friendship hare bees concluded with al-
most all Nations, in which they recognise no
power in Spain and in her Colonies except the
lawful Sovereign.
The deliberations upon a general amnesty ('kioyt
schelding) have ended to the satisfaction of all
those who love their country. The most perfect.
tranquillity in our country is one of the beneficial
consequences of the uprightness anti firmness of
the King, and of the zeal of the Ministers, all
ve hose decrees bear the stamp of truly tree
ptin-
ciples, tempered according to the charactq of the
nation and to circumstances.. The new-system of
finance is introduced twos' without opposition, it
we except some miserable individua!s, who have
been already reduced to silence. Every honest
man congiatulates himself on a new system of
taxation, which is equally great and enlightened.
When it is once brought into full effect, it will suf-
fice to cover all necessary expences and to pay the
(Wits. Like the most enlightened nations, we shall
enjoy the advantages of a Great Book, of a sink-
ing., fund, and of a budget ; all the creditors of the
State will have inscrip!ions in the Gnat Bubk, re-
gulated on one and the same footing. As most of
the national debts hear an bite-rest of only 3 or 4
per cent., every exertion will he made first to dis-
charge the foreign debts, which pay per cent.
interest, and amount to about 400 millions de
vetton. The Council of Finance is charged to
examine the several plans that are offered upon this
subject. It has been proposed to cede to the fo-
reign creditors a sufficiently extensive track of land
in America ; but as this plan would he attended
with (natty difficulties,- there is now more inclina-
tion to cede the Two Floritias to the United States,
upon condition of their charging themselves with
the debts. 'Ube chit fof one of the first towns Of
Paris and Bayonne has made here a proposal for
a loan, on sufficiently advantageous terms, in
MIMI the Government should take in payment
the rentes that have been in arrear since ISOS :
another great nation would willingly take the li-
quidatioa upon itself, it the negociations begun
with a great Northern Power wet e broken off.
EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MADRID. AUG. 8.

Letters of a vet y alarming nature have been
received here from Peru. It is said that the city
of Crisco is in the hands of the Independeilts, and
that Ulna is threatened. In these embarrassing
circumstances, it seems that the expedition pre-
paring at Cadiz, and originally destined for Mex-
ico, will go to Peru, Orders have been given to
hasten its departure as much as possible. Such
are the reports which have been in circulation in
the capital since yesterday, and which seen) to
be founded upon accounts that t,►ay be considered
as genuine.
