It was reported in the City, yesterday afternoon, that
ITURBIDE had been taken by a Colombian privateer
and hung immediately, which had the effect of im-
proving Mexican Bonds at the close of the market :
although it is by no means an improbable event, yet it
at present is but a mere rumour. Letters from Val-
paraiso of the 2d of May, state, that BOLIVAR, having
received the necessary reinforcements, was marching
against the Royalists.

By the Buenos Ayres Papeis, which we have received

to the 30th of May, as well as from other sources,
we have amass of intelligence from South America,
though it is not of a decisive character. The Buenos
;•' Ayres Argos of the 2i4th, contains an account of the
celebratib4 of the Anniversary of the Buenos Ayres Re.
tution. The ceremonies and rejoicings began on the

21th, and were continued on the 25th and 26th. On the
iffr, last o those chiys a grand diplomatic dinner was given
atit-
e Government House. Commkioners were ap-
pointed to receive and conduct Mr. CAESAR A. RODNEY,
/the American Minister, and Mr. PARISII, the British
Cowul, into the hall of the Banquet. As they entered
,
a band of music played the national hymn, " Uhl mor-
tales, el Vito sagrado," (Mortals, hear the sacred cry).
The number present at this entertainment, the first of
the kind given since the Revolution, was 127. A long
se: ies of toasts kept the company together till two in the
morning, when they withdrew to another room, where
coffee was served.

On the healths of the United States Minister and the
B:itish Consul being drank, Mr. RouxEy and Mr. PA-
rim respectively returned thanks; the speech of the
font er was bombastical, particularly the toast with
which it was concluded. " Permit me," said Mr. Rog•
VEY, " to drink—

" To the State of Ilueno3 Ayres, the load-gar of the South,
tt,,! :.nchor of Hope amidst the storms of revolution ; and prospe-
ri.y to the pilot who has weathered the hurricane. Under her
au yices may the union of the other provinces be accomp;ished, and
may that utaun be perpetual."

The President of Buenos Apes, ,aho was in the
Chair, gave as the next toast—

" To hit 3lajesty George IV. King of Great Britain—to the
illustrious and powerful twin') he governs—and to his Consul
Cri.eral, our guest, Mr. Woodbine Parish."

Mr. PA RISli returned thanks; in the course of which
he observed

I have had the good fortune to be sent to this country as the
first public agent from my nation. You know that one of my duties
is, to collect information on the actual statt of the affairs and form
of thin Government. Everything I have seen, everything I have
Irarned, since my arrival at Buenos Ayres. does so Much honuur
to the Governnient and people of this State, that I can assure you
with all sincerity, that my repre.,oruttions to my Govereunuit will

be consistent with what I hope for—the establishment of relations
of friendship with this country, in that mode and form which the
progress of its excellent Institutions entitles it to In the face of the
world. Gentlemen, with your permission, I drink—, To the peace
and prosperity of Buenos Ayres.'
Senor RI vADAVIA, by the particular desire of the Pre-
sident, returned thanks to Messrs. RODNEY and PA R I sir.
In-addition to this account of the anniversary dinner,
which shews that the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres have
alteady learnt something by their connection with this
country, that of having a good banquet, and plenty of
toasts and speeches, these papers contain some interesting
intelligence respecting the two Spanish parties in Peru.
—lt is said that there is no chance of any permanent
agreement between the Liberals and Serviles. A very
extraordinary plan is attributed to the former; and with
a view to its execution, General LA SERNA is alleged
to be negotiating for the purchase of ships of war in
foreign countries. The Spanish Constitutional Consul
at Rio de Janeiro, it seems, employs himself in collect.
ing there, and forwarding to Peru, all the Unfortunate
Spanish exiles who reach Brazil. In March lasr,
he dispatched to Peru, a number of these adven-
turers, preceded by Senor PANuo, one of the Minis-
ters under the Cortex, who, it is supposed, is to act
as assessor to General LA SERNA. It is also said that
Senor PANDO carries with him a representation from the
Deputies of the Spanish Cortes, soliciting of LA SERNA
an asylum for themselves and the Constitution, and
proposing a plan for so overawing FERDINAND from
Peru, as to check him in his infatuated career in the
Peninsula. Whatever may be thought of the reality of
this project, the Editor of the Buenos Ayres paper is of
opinion that the intrigues which are going on will
prove favourable to the cause of independence. Though
LA SERNA should refuse to be embarrassed with such a
plot, he will be glad to receive the Constitutionalists,
that he may have their assistance in promoting his own
views ; while, on the other hand, OLANETA, knowing
them to be his irreconcileable enemies, must wish to ex-
pel them. For these reasons it is concluded, that at all
events the two parties cannot fail to come to blows.
The basis of a commercial treaty is said to have been
agreed upon between Great Britain and La Plata,
which, when concluded, must strengthen the intercourse
between the two countries.

The intelligence from Bogota is to the 10th instant.
The Congress had determined on supporting BOLIVAR
in Peru. Reinforcements had been ordered to be sent
to him from all parts. The Intendant of the department
of La Guyra had received orders to send off all the
troops he could raise. They go by sea to Chagres,
where they cross the Isthmus to Panama, and there
embark for Peru. General PAzz, Commander of the
forces of his department, has summoned all the Officers
about here to his head-quarters—among the rest Colo-
nel STOPFORD, the Editor of the Colombiano.
Mr. HENDERSON, the BritishtConsul-General at Bo-
gota, had presented representations to the Government
there, on the impolicy of the regulation by which none
but Republican citizens can enter goods at the Custom
House ; and it was hoped he would succeed in getting
this obnoxious regulation removed.
Letters from Lima of the 18th of April, state that
CANTERAC had broken up his camp at Hauja, and that
his troops have alreadycommenced their march against
BOLIVAR, who has fallen back from Huanaco to Cara-
marea. A division of 2,500 Spanish troops, destined to
act on the coast, passed within nine leagues of Lima on
the 16th of April, whilst the main body, under CAN-
TERAC, was moving on by the Sierra road.
The Americans appear to be very unpopular at Lima,
as we find an urgent request was made by the Captains
of the vessels under the United States Bag, to Captain
HULL, Commander of the American force in the Pa-
cific, to come to their protection, as neither the lives
nor the property of the American citizens were safe,
either from the Royalists or Independents.
A letter from Santiago, in Chile, in the Buenos Ayres
Papers, gives some curious particulars respecting a
papal missionary who has visited that country. It is
said—" The Republicans begin to view with some
jealousy Senor Musi, the Envoy from his Holiness.
They attribute to his influence a sermon which has just
been preached here, and in which Republicanism was
attacked, and the principles of the Holy Alliance re-
commended. Much indulgence has, however, been
shewn to the priest; for, though he was banished from
the capital, he stopped at a convent of friars, where he
has been visited at all hours by the Apostolic Vicar.
It will perhaps appear to you, as it does to us, a remark-
able circumstance, that at the same time we were re-
ceiving the Minister of a great Republic, who came to
stimulate us by the example of his nation, this preach-
ing in the Temple in favour of principles hostile to the
Republican system should be connived at. This has
happened in Chile ; but surely such a thing will not oc-
cur anywhere else."

The Argos remarks on this subject, that although
suspicions as to the Envoy did exist, yet that " the Go-
vernment of Chile has not felt itself possessed of those
legal proofs which would have enabled it to speak as
becomes an American authority, in any case in which
the military or political trumpets of the despotic confe-
deracy of Europe may be heard in America."

The affairs of Spain are beginning to assume a serious
aspect. The account of the seizure of Tarifa, a place,
which, if well provisioned,would be almost invulnerable,
is confirmed by the report of the Commander•in..Chief
O'DosivEr.c, as well as by a private letter.from Cadiz,
both of which we subjoin. It is difficult to believe that
this can have been the work of 200 Constitutionalists
vt ithout any plan to ulterior operations, or understanding
that similar attemptswould be niaL:e in other partsof Spain.
Indeed a private letter in the Quotidienne, a paper by
nu means favourable tr) the Spattish Liberal!, states that

great alarm_prevailed at Seville on the 6th anal 7tlk,of
the present month; that five hundred Revolutionists,
under BALCARCEL, Rthoo's Lieutenant, had taken
Irmana and Utrique, and threatened to march on Seville;
measures were adopted for the defence of the town. On
the Bth, the remainder of the garrison was marched
against the Liberals, and it Is said that the threatened
attack va, a false alarm. The same letter mentions a
iepresentation addressed by General O'DoNNELL to the
Government at Madrid, in which he stated, that while
AREJCLA, CALATRAVA, and others, were allowed to
reside in Gibraltar, there would always be reason to fear
the Liberals ; and that he suspected the Governor had
an understanding with the conspirators against FERDI-
NAND. On receiving this representation, the Spanish
Minister addressed a note to Sir WILLIAM A'Couar,
which is said to have excited the indignation of the
latter. Sir WILLIAM is stated to have gone in person
to the Spanish Minister, and to have expressed his as•
tonishment that such a charge should have obtained
credit on the report of a man of so little consideration
as O'DONNELL.

Private letters from Madrid, of the 12th inst. state,
that persons are continually leaving the capital, and
it appears that at a short distance from the city, they
meet others who furnish them with what is necessary
to enable them to join the bands of malcontents that
are starting up in every quarter. The most formidable
of these bands in the neighbourhood of the capital is
one which has taken up a position in the mountains of
Toledo. Its numbers are increasing every day.
The same letter, in allusion to the affairs of the
Ronda, says that TORRIJOS, who appears at the head of
the Constitutionalists, " is accompanied by several in-
ferior Officers; that the troops that landed with him
were perfectly well equipped and armed ; that he had
landed also sonic thousand muskets, to arm those who
should join his ranks ; neither he nor his followers
seemed to want for money ; they paid geneiously for
everything, and they appeared to be particularly savage'
against the priests and monks, several of whom, it is
said, who fell into their hands at Gimena, having been
put to the sword."
Another letter from Antequera, a town in the-Ronda,
about 15 miles inland from Mal aga, says," Torrijos is
at the head of about a thousand men; that he is abun-
dantly provided with money and arms; that the gar-
rison of Tarifa had joined his standard ; and that in all
the villages of the mountains of Ronda the stone of the
Constitution had been set up; and, finally, that this con-
spiracy had most extensive ramifications in all the prin-
cipal towns in Andalusia, in consequence of which, a
great number of persons had been arrested for a real or
suspected understanding with the conspirators of
Gibraltar."

Hence it will be seen, that all the accounts concur jn
representing the affair as of importance. The following
is the Report of O'DONNELL from the French Papers,
and the private letter to which we have alluded :
a A perfidious faction, composed of about 200 Spa-
nish refugees, and other obscure inctividuals of the town
of Gibraltar, having taken arms, prepared an expedi-
tion, under the command of the Ex-Colonel Francisco
Valdez. This troop having embarked in the bay, suc-
ceeded in seizing on the town and island of Tarifa, sur-
prising the weak garrison just as it opened the gates on
the 3d of August, at day-break.
" Detachments of infantry and cavalry, under the
command of Colonel Jose Barrados, marched imme-
diately from Algesiras towards Tarifa. He immedi-
ately blockaded the place by land, the rebels not daring
to attempt a sally. On the evening of the 6th, a
French frigate, of troops of all arms, commanded
by General Count Astorg, arrived in the port.—
The blockade was then made much stricter, and at
the same time three French ships of war, a Spanish
schooner, and four armed boats from Algesiras, ap-
peared before the port, so that all means of retreat for
the criminals are cut off. They have not even provi-
sions to hold out in the place, and fresh troops are ar-
riving speedily to chastise their presumption.
" Public tranquillity has not been interrupted a mo-
ment throughout all this district, notwithstanding the
false rumours spread at Gibraltar by the agents of the
Revolutionists, who ridiculously threatened our whole
line with a general attack, announcing other landings to
the East of Gibraltar. Nothing of all this has happened.

44 The faithful troops of the King, who occupy this
camp, have been reinforced this night by a proirincial
battalion of .Seville. The whole population is eager to
revenge itself for the insult which these traitors offer it,
by supposing they may find accomplices among it. The
brave mountaineers of La Kenda have risen in'a mass
to oppose every criminal attempt. In short, his Ma-
jesty's service is not exposed to any sort of danger in
this fiart of his dominions.—Vive le Roi !—Let all his
faithful servants be vigilant to discover whether this
plot, which has no ramifications here, may not have
some in other places.
(Signed) " J. O'DONNELL."

Tarifa would have already fallen into our power if
the Spanish cannon which our troops had found there
had burn fit for the service. All the outer walls are in
our possession, but the gates having been walked up, it
has been necessary to wait for cannon from Cadiz. They
must now have arrived there. Two of olir vesseli;
dered by tlw currents, had stopped at Algesii'as.

PRIVATE COItItIiSPONDENCE.

" CADIZ, ACGINT IL

" You will doubtless hear much of the occurrences at Tarifa.
The blow appears to have been quite unexpected here; hut whether
or not it may lead to consequences of any ultimate importance I
think extremely problematical.

" The lactic briefly this; that on Tuesday last the town and for-
tress Of Tarifa were suddenly seized by some Cinstillitionzl Spa-
niards, who were in secret coniniunicatiodwith a part of the gaui-
son. Some blood was Shed on the occasion. The Governor, I

fear, wat massacred ; and it is Said that several Priests were put to
death. The Captain of the Port escaped in the disguise of a com..
mon sailor, and reached this place on Wednesday. Ile sal. that
when he came away the successful party were raising the cry of
Viva el Constitucisn. They had not, however, neglected the more
important huilness of levying a heavy contribution on the inhal.it.ints.
" The French Officers litre were immediAtly on the alert,
'eir names arc as follow :-=l..letrt:General Vicomte lioisac deli
Tour, commanding a dieisinn of the French Army of Occupatioa,
and•Geverner of Cadiz ;-IStajor-Gcnerid Saporte, cithimantling the
brigade stationed at Cadiz ; Major-General 3louton, tommandinz
the htigade :n I.a Isla; and Major-General the Comte d'Hauti-
feuille commanding the cavalry at Port St. :Mat y's and at Ciiiehna

" I am not disposed to think that this ..flair will lead ultimately
to very serious consequences, though it may give wine troubl?.
the time. Tarifa is so strong as to be deemed imprtgn.:'..t: both 1
sea and land, bulk it is so situated that it may easily be off front
all supplies.

" Withnut loss of time, a French battalion of frifautry from La
Tea, together with a scuadron of cavalry, was dis, che,l agailis;
Tarifa, under the command of an active Officer, the Comte tr .I,tnt
of the 13th Lancers. They marched nu Wedne.day evenin;-; arlj
shortly afterwards the Diane and the .lan,m, the only twe Frenzii
ships of war remaining in this harbour, proceeded to sea ,kith I;,e
same destination. There was certainly just cause for this alacri
as information was soon brought that commotions had also taken
place in the small towns of Xiir Vijer, and Medina SttluniA,aut:
that upon the whole some benched, of versons well armed had as.
semblci at these several points.

"The circumstance most adverse to the French tromps Is the hc-ii
of the weather. It may not be described as oppressive, but yet ti.e
labours of the field are very different from the garrison Antiet o.
this place, where, and at the Isla, the soldieis have hitherto
remarkably healthy. It must not he overlooked that they are t,
to encounter an armed population who know perfectly well every
fastness in the Sierra."

Dutch Papers to the '26th instant reached us tliis
forenoon. It appears that a new alarm prevails in
Germany respecting Secret Associations, nhich, it is
said, are spreading. The King of the NETfiERLANP
