The following letters, respecting the affairs of South
America, arc interesting :

EX I'HACT OF A LATTER, DATED JAMAICA, OCT. S.
•• 1 expect soon to be able to announce to yon the
complete triumph of Carthagena, which circumstance
alone will secure the independence of the whole of
the neighbouring section •:f Spanish America, and
open its dormant resources to the enterprize of the
world. Generally, there it has been considered for-
tunate that the Cadiz expedition is gone against Car-
ttiagena. Morillo's plan is to t►ke it by starvationi
hut this is impossible, because his sea forces are so
weak, that hitherto they have been unable to prevent
the entry of privateers and merchantmen. Maay
vessels have already entered, both from the islands
and United States ; and the premiums offered by Go-
vernment, as well as the prices of provisions, will se-
cure supplies. Insurance is not more than 15 per
cent. which is not much more than is asked generally
at this season of the year.
Carthagent is provisioned and defended equal to
a second rate fortress of Europe, nay three times as
strong as in Vernon's time. The garrison and people
are animated by the best spirits. The troops within
the walls are about 4,000, besides 1,200 marines.—
Moving bodies are also acting without on the flanks
and rear of Morino, daily increasing from the inte-
rior. The castle of La Popa is commanded by the
famous General Bermudez ; the C:TTO by Colonels
Montilla and Rini:. The point of St. Catherine's
is commanded by Brigadier Campomanes, as second
in command, and General Castillo is the first. The
point of Santo Domingo is commanded by Colonel
Narvaex, and the walls facing the bay by Colonel
Herrera.

" An immense sum of British property is now in
Carthagena, and the agents of all the Jamaica houses
concur in stating, that no force the Spaniards could
collect would take the place. The latter relied most
on domestic dissensions, but these have happily ceased,
and taught the inhabitants the imperious necessity of
stronger union. They also find, by experience, that
the plan of Morillo is no other than a second con-
quest, and that they are fully exposed to all its hor-
rors. His word, in Venezuela, has been forfeited in
a thousand ways. The rains and a hot season have
set in ; their concomitant diseases already visit his
ranks, and he will soon find that this is not making
war on the Pyrenees. An the estates and dwellings
for a certain compass round have been destroyed, so
that the Spaniards are exposed to all kinds of incle-
mency. They have already been obliged to take shel-
ter in a few miserable huts they have constructed in
Turbaco.

" Morino has got with him a small army of Inqui•
sitors, intended to issue ecclesiastical proclamations
and excommunications against those who rebel against
the sacred authority of Ferdinand. We anxiously
expect
.the result of a naval action preparing under
, the command of Brion. against the Spanish squadron.

'Tn this the greatest tnnOenee it plaCed. On eierk
side th.• prospect ch^ers: Verw.zreli is fast extir7a,i g
her enemies, the patriots t f Q..iro every whet- 'tit m-
ph.int, the government of New Grenada filled ,
vigil once and energy, and enthusiastic hopes depict, d
on every countenance. E,,Totism is banislii d andeve, y
one disposed to mike the greatest sacs ices now, at
sight of the brilliant reward that awaits them. They
see that independence is within their reach, and they
are resolved it shall be their own. Europe, indeet2,
still slumbers on this subject, and in Hier the energies
or liberal principles displayed excite interest.
ei In the old world, the cause of humanity and

litraality finds powerful advocates on th 7 'nes as well
as individuals; yet in the new one, the i
and slave trade have been abolished, hay, every thing
that bears the emblem of despotism tnn down. and
still civilized Enrope feels no sympa.lte.ic
Spanish A me:ica now fights the battles of insrice anl
of reason, and to know this we have only to pen her
history. Yet, the cause of jnst.ce in Eur pe seems
overlo-ked, even the lever of in.erc,,t uo longer acts.
Our islands have now scarcely any trade bat
Spanish America ; from thence al ne we izet money.
Imports from North America are now taken from
us: what should we do if Spanish America were
also closed ? We want provisi ins ; our os !al !nophes
arc cut oils we must not 1).! beholden to th L4nitel
States; why then not secure abundance font t!,ct
Spanish where we have ample ru.' ? Mexic,)
grows wheat at half the expeiise of Nni th America ;
cattle every where alitninds, even we can cbtain
better staves, It would seem that Nature was ten-
dering to us her benefits aud blessings merely to t'd
spurned."
t• JAMAICA, OCTnlteg 9.---Morillo's squadron ;s
divided, the transports are left at anchor in Nova
Canna, with some war vessels, and the rest !o•ver
abiut Baaa Chica, to attempt an impotent blockade.
Our gun-b rats, cm:l:s and privateers render tlk.it
cff TIS vain. Up to the 29th September, Morillo had
done nn more than extend his line, and defend him-
self Irons sallies and tttacks in his rear. asease in
his rank.: gains ground. His great strength is in hi*
troops, but it he loses his ships what will become of
him The Carthagena naval armament is daily ex-
pected to act. TWt4 great crisis have pas,ed over to
Spanish America, viz. the return of Ferdin tud to
Spain, and the arrival of Nlortilo's expedition. The
eff:cts of boTh hay.: happily vanished. The Jest! itc-
tion of the constitution and the consegnent desi,oti,m
established, have dissipated tl.e first, and the second
is on the eve of a dieadful denouement to Spain."

CORN EXCHANGE, Duc. 6.—We have had no fresh
supply of Wheat this morning, but a consi.!erable
quantity was left over from Monday's arrivals, for
which there was no demand today, consequently the
sales were exceedingly heavy, but there is no varia-
tion in prices. Fine Barley maintains its price, hav-
ing but little at market. Oats goes off slowly, at
Monday's prices. In Peas, Bcans, and other grain,
there is no alteration. At the close ot Monday's
market the price of Flour was reduced .ss. par sack..
