Letters from New Orleans, of the 9th Decetnber,
mention that General JACKSON had arrived there ;
that additional forts were to be erected on the river,

and that 10,000 or 12,000 troops were expected in
the course of that month from the Western Country,
to moist in the defence of that capital. We think,
however, that the Expedition which sailed from
Negril November 27th, if it meet with no misfortune,
must reach New Orleans some time before those
troops from the Western Country eta get there..
The preparations of the American Government fot
corainuing the war, seem to hales been very deficient.

" The ship Castilla, which arrived in Cadiz the
24th of January, after a passage of 112 days' from
Callao, the shipping port of Lima, brings ac-
counts of tl.t insurrection of Cusco, Puna, Are,
quipa, Charcas, and nearly all the other parts of
Peru, by which means the 14ina army under Pa.
LIMA. acting in the neighbourhood of Salta, is
completely cut off. This event is fully established, and
known to the Government Offices; and it is fur-
ther believed that Viceroy Abascal is now on his mid-
dle passage home, having abandoned the country to'
all the horrors of a wide and dreadful revolution. This
is what the Viceroy has got by exhausting Lima, and
leaving the country without troops, with the impo.
litic expeditions sent against Buenos Ayres, Chill,
and New Granada, which, by destroying the bendlor
subjection, by which the Peruvian provinces wars
alone kept down, has rendered all means of resistant
ineffectual. The greatest consternation prevails
among persons interested in that country, but nobody
dares speak of it in public.
44 Frotn New Spain not the smallest information
has been received for the last seven months, the road
from. Mexico to Vera Cruz being closed, and all com-

destruction of the Cortes and Constitution, has pro-
duced ; if it is the same as io the other sections, adios;
to the bond that hag hithetto held the two commits
together."
