SOUTH IMERIC4

By a vessel which left Buenos Ayres on the 10th of i
March, we have private advices. from which the fol-
lowing are exuacts:—
" BUENOS AYRES, FEB. 27. •

" On the 31st alt. was installed the Assembly of
the Representatives of the different provinces, who
assumed immediately the supreme power, and are ex-
pected to establish a Constitution resembling that of
the United States of America."

66 MAacH 3:—The Congress has decreed, that the
Executive Government should remain pro iempore,
and twenty days afterwards proclaimed the new Ext.
cutive Authorities, Senores N. It. Pena, J. J. Perez,
and A. H. Jonte.—J. J. Paso has been removed."
MARCH B.—The details have not been yet re-
ceived of the complete victory over the Peruvian '
army. It is supposed that Belgrano will immediately
march from Salta upon Potosi, and no effectual op-
position is apprehended.
66 The Sovereign Assembly here passed a Decree,
on the 34 instant, respecting the privileges of Con-
signees, to which none but natives or those naturalized
are to be eligible. gutopean Spaniards are to be
considered as foreigners, excepting such as have been
made citizens. Time is to be given for the operation
of this measure, in proportion to the distance of the
places from whence the shipments are to be made."
Extract of a letter from an-English merchant at
Buenos Ayres, dated March 10, 1813 :—" Here we
are making rapid strides towards independence, and
little more remains to be done in regard to the exte-
rior demonstration of it, than the hoisting of some
new national ensign. Since my last a Congress has
been established, and assumed to itself the title of So-
vereign. One of its first acts has been to require that
all Europeans (Spaniards included), in order to be
entitled to the privileges of citizens, must prove their
attachment to the new system ; and to declare, that
no man can be considered as a citizen, unless he first
abjure all foreign jurisdiction. Another of its acts,
to prove its liberal view: and its partiality for British
subjects, has been to declare, that no foreigner can
transact his own business, but must consign his pro-
perty to a native citizen : this, however, is understood
not to extend to Portuguese, Italians, or indeed any
body but Englishmen.
'6 The Patriotic army of Buenos Ayres has been
very successful against the Lima troops at Salta,
about 350 leagues in the interior : 2500 of the latter
have capitulated, and delivered up that town to this
Government. It is thought that the consequence of
this success will be the surrender of Potosi, which
will open to us merchants an extensive market.—
Montevideo still holds out, and is not likely to sur-
render ; there have been great dissentions among the
besieging army* for 'these doctrines of liberty and
equality make all men think themselves chiefs. In the
midst of this civil war we fare better than might be
, expected ; but I suspect the good conduct of the Go.
• vernment towards us, is more caused by their fear of
the British navy than any other consideration. The
Americans are great favourites, and it is therefore im-
possible for us to aspire to that honour."

FRENCH PAPER 6.

PARIS, MAY 15.

Her Majesty the Empress Queen and Regent has
received the following intelligence, respecting the
situation of the army, dated the 10th, at night :
On the 9th, Colonel Lasalle, Director of the bridge
equipage, began to replace rafts for a bridge, which
was forming at the village of Prielnitz. There was
also a go-and-come (w: va et vient), formed at the
same time-300 Voltigeurs were passed over to the
right bank, under the protection of 20 pieces of can-
non placed on an eminence.
At ten in the morning the enemy advanced to drive
back these Voltigeurs into the river—he thought that
a battery of 12 pieces would be sufficient to silence
our guns. The cannonade began, and the guns of
the enemy were dismounted ; three battalions whom
he had pushed forwards were destroyed by our grape
shot.. The Emperor hastened to the spot. General
Dulauloi took a station with General Devaux, and
18 pieces of flying artillery, on the left of the village
of Yrielnitz, • a position which commands the whole
plain on the right bank ; General Drouet advanced
with 16 pieces of artillery to the right.
The enemy brought forward 40 pieces of cannon.
We had established a battery to the amount of 80.
In the mean time a hollow was traced on the right
bank of the river, in the form of a tete-de-pont, in
wl:ich our Tirailleurs sheltered themselves.

After having had from l to 15 pieces of their can-
non dismounted, and from 15 to 18 hundred men
killed or ivouuded, the enemy discovered the folly of
his enterprize, and at three in the afternoon marched
off. We worked all night at the bridge, but the Elbe
rose, some of its, anchors mere unmuored, and the
bridge will not be fi44hed till to-night.
This day (the 10thMe Emperor has marched the
division Charpentier into tbe new town, by the bridge
of Dresden • and now, to-night, the bridge being
finished, the whole army is passing over to the right
bank of the river. The enemy appears to be retryating
to the Oder.

The Prince of Moskwa is at Wittenberg, General
Lauriston at Torgau ; General it/ 'flier has resumed
the command of the 7th corps, composed of the Saxon
contingent, and the division Dututte.

The +th, 6th, llth, and 12th corps will pass by the
bridge of Dresden to-morrow, at break of day. The
young and old Guard is around Dresden. The 2d
division of the Guard, commanded by General Bar-
rois, arrives this day at Altenbourg.
The King of Saxony, who his directed his course
towards *ague, in order to be nearer his capital,
will repair to Dresden in the course of to-morrow.—
The Emperor has sent an escort of 500 of hii guard
to receive and accompany him. Two thousand of
the enemy's cavalry have been cut off from the Elbe,
as well as a great quantity of baggage, patroles, light
troops, and Cossacks. They appear to have taken re-
fuge iu Bohemia.
MAY 17.-Her Majesty the Empress Queen and
Regent has received the following accounts with re-
gard to the situation of the Artni, on the evening
of the lith May

The.Priace of Moskwa entered Torras on the morn,
ling of the th, and took a position on the right bank
I one march from that fortress. General Lauriston ar,
rived the same day at Torgadwith his corps, at three
in the afternoon.

The Duke of Bellow) with the second corps, has
marched upon Wittenberg; as wall as General Se,
bastianes corps of cavalry.
The cavalry corps commanded by General Latour
Maubourg. ou the 114 crossed by the bridge of Dres-
den, at three in the afternoon.
The King of Saxony dept atSedlitz. All the Saxon
cavalry must rejoin on the 14th at Dresden. General
&pier has resumed the command of the 7th corps
at Torgau—that corps is composed of two Saxon di-
visions, consisting of 12,000 men.
His Majesty spent the whole day on the bridge to
see his troops defile.
The Colonel of Engineers? Bernard, aid-de-camp of
the Emperor, has exerted great activity in repairing
the bridge of Dresden.
General Roguiat, Commander in Chief of the En-
gineers of the Army, has traced out the works which
are to cover the new.town, and to serve as a tete-

de-pont.
We have intercepted a courier from the Count de
Stackelberg, ex•ambassador from Russia at Vienna, to
the Count de Nesse'rode, Secretary of State, accom-
panying the Russian Emperor at Dresden.
We have also intercepted a number of estafettes
from Berlin and Prague.
Her Majesty the Impress queen and Regent has
received the following account with regard to the
situation of the Army on the evening of the 12th of
May :
66 On the 12th, at ten in the morning, the Impe-
rial Guards were drawn up in battalion on the road
from Pirna to Gross Garten. The Emperor re-
viewed them. The King of Saxony, who slept the
Night before at Sodlitz, arrived at mid-day. The
two Sovereigns alighted from horseback, embraced
each other, and then entered Dresden at the head of
the Guards, amidst the acclamations of an immense
population. It formed a very fine sight.
44 At three o'clock the Emperor reviewed the divi-
sion of cavalry of General Fresia, consisting of 3000
horse, from Italy. His Majesty was extremely satis-
fied with this cavalry, the good condition of which is
owing to the cares and activity of Fontanelli, the
Minister of War fcr Italy, who spared no pains to
put it in mood state.
66 The Lniperor has given orders to the Viceroy
to repair to Milan, there to fulfil a special mission.—
His Majesty has been extremely satisfied with the
conduct of that Prince during the whole campaign :
that conduct has acquired for the Viceroy-a new title
to the confidence of the Emperor."

PROCLAMATION OF THE EMPEROR
TO THE ARMY.

14 Soldiers!-.4 am satisfied with you—you have
fulfilled my expectations—you have supplied every
thing by your good-will and by your valour. On
the memorable '2d of May, you defeated and routed
the Russian and Prussian army, commanded by the
Emperor Alexander and the King of Prussia. You
have added new lustre to the glory of my Eagles.
You have displayed all that the French blood is ca-
pable of.
" The battle of Lutzen will be placed above those
of Austerlitz? Jena, Friedland, and the Moskw*
" In the last campaign the enemy found no refuge
against our arms, but by following the ferocious
course of his barbarous ancestors. Armies of Tartars
laid waste his fields, his cities, sacred Moscow itself !
They are now arrived in our regions, pieceded by all
the bad subjects and deserters of Germany, France,
and Italy, preaching up revolt, anarchy, civil war,
and murder. They became the apostles of every
crime. They wished to light up a moral conflagra-
tion between the Vistula and the Rhine, in order, ac-
cording to the usage of despotic Governments, to
place deserts between us and them. The madmen !
They little knew the attachment of the Germans to
their Sovereigns—their wisdom, their orderly dispo-
sition, and their good sense. They little knew the
power and bravery of the French.
" In a single battle you have counteracted all those

parricidal plots !
We will drive back these Tartars into their
frightful regions, which they ought never to have
leis. There let them remain amidst their frozen de-
sarts—the abode of Slavery, of Barbarism, and of
Corruption, where man is debased to an equality with
the brute.
" You have deserved well of civilized Europe.—
Soldiers—ltaly, France, Germany return you thanks.

EXTRACTS FROM THE BERLIN GAZETTE OF MAY 6•
The following are the most recent news from the
Army :
Berlin, May 5, 1813.
After some obstinate and glorious combats by
the two wings of the Allied Army, since the 26th of
April, the enemy has not only been driven beyond
the Saale, with considerable loss ; but on the 2d inst.
a grand pitched battle was fought with him on the
plains between Lutzen and Pegau.
66 The advantage was ours, from the commence-
ment to the close. Night alone prevented the battle
'from being quite decisive.
44 The battle was obstinate and bloody on both
sides. Our troops fought with extraordinary cou-
, rage ; and it was thus only they could maintain an
advantage over the enemy, who was superior in
numbers. His Majesty the King and all the Princes
are well,
66 We hasten to communicate this news to the
Public ; and shall do the same as soon as we receive
the report of the second battle, which must probably
was fought on the Sd.
