'and Spanish Journal's, and some ordonnances relating
to the army of no intergist. The only intelligence they
contain from Brazil, is copied from the London Papers.
The Gazette of the Ist init. however, contains an article

on the subject of the Colonies, in which it is boldly
avowed, that the European Powers are determined not
only " to exterminate from the face of the earth proud
Liberalism" in Europe, " but on the other side of the
Atlantic, whee this hydra furiously discharges its mot-.
tal venom."
This is all mtre declamation, which can have no effect
on the fate of South America, chose independence will
not depend on the fiat of a King of Portugal, or the
Manifestoes of an Euiopean Congress, shciuld one be held
for that purpose. Were a war to be commenced in the
New World, on the principles avowed in the Lisbon Ga-
.ette, the President of the United States might well
consider it directed against that country as well as
against South America. The following are extracts :

DYING 4114MORIAL OF RI EGO ra HIS WIFE.
The following well-authenticated particulars' of the
last hours of General lliego; are exceedingly interest-
ing, as they speak volumes as to the treatment of that
nufottunate patriot while in prison, and cotnpletely re-
fute the calumnies with which his memory Was' at-
tempted to be sullied by the propagation of his pie•
tended recantation and confession. Indeed the docu-
ment which appeared in same of the Ft ench Papers,
purporting to be the confession of General 11,:ego, needed
no evidence to convince the world of its Want of authen-

ticity, the bnngling fabricator of it having made the
General sign r. two days after his execution !!
General Roche, who lately artived in England, was
the bearer of a small parcel addressed to a Mr. Binder,
an Italian Gentleman, now in London. The General
was quite ignorant of the contents of this parcel: On
its reaching its destination, hqwever, it was found to
' contain a black and awhile handkerchief; enclosed in an
envelope, with a letter, from' which it appeared that they
had been transmitted to the Duchess de Frias, by General
Riego, a few ?burs previous to his death. On the .51h Oc-
tober, two days before the execution Of the' unfortunate
patriot, a Confessor, whom Itiegaltad prevailed upon by
the most ardent entreaties, waited up-on the Duchess to as-
certain whether she would receive a memorial from hisn,,

—....... „..
to transmit to his Wife. It appears that this Lady is related
by marriage to the Riegos, General Valdes, a cousin of
the late General Riego, having married her sister. The
Dachess immediately consented to receive the memorial.
The COnfessor went away, and a few'hours afterwards
returned with a black handkerchief, which Riego was
desirous should be forwarded to his wife. The next
day, that is the day before the execution, the same
priest broUght a white handl:erchief to be transmitted to
General Valdes. The man positively refused to enter into
any explanation. He was deaf to all entreaties. In
he was evidently afraid to answer questions, apparently
the most indifferent. He had no doubt been prevailed
upon, out of cempassion to the victim, to undertake the
chat (table commission of delivering these memorials of
love. The manner in which'it was undertaken and
executed, clearly proves that it was contrary to the
orders of those tvtio had the superintendence of Riego's
imprisonment; and the affair altogether is confirma-
tory of his having had opiates administered to him
to prevent him from speaking at the place of execution.
Had his jailers not been•convinced that he could have
written.in such a manner to his wife, that would have
completely falsified their tales of his confession, he would
not have been prevented from writing : or had he been
inclined to have recanted, they Would, 'no doubt, have
permitted him to send letters to any part of the world,
provided such recantation made a part of them. But
Riego could not be prevailed upon to disgrace himself,
therefore was he cut off from44l intercourse, either by
message or -letter, with the world, to which he was
doomed so shortly to bid an everlasting fareiveil. The
story too of his having written .a letter to solicit his par-
don is completely falsified, by this anecdote.
The handkerchiefs are both at present in the hands
of the Canon Riego, General Valdei not having ar-
rived in England.
