SOUTH AMERICA.

Letters have been rec ived from Panama, giving
an account of operations in that neighbourhood sub-
sequpt to the details received by the Jamaica G.►.
zettes, of a most important nature. It is said that
the Commander-in-Chief, General Mot ill°, conduct-,
ing the expedition in that quatter, basing accom.
plished his purposes ia lietiezuf:ll, has reaanbarked
his troops to the number of ten thousand men, and
has actually set sail, to procee.l the Atlantic, to
double Cape Horn, and to terruiaatc his voyage at
Lima, on the Pacific Ocean,
During his stay on the shores of the Gulph, a
Spanish frigate had arrived from the Parent Country,
the dispatches by which, it is supposed, occasitared tite
alteration of all the projects of General Molutto, to-
wards Vera Cruz and Mexico, and compelled him to
undertake this new and remote enterprise, which, it
is assumed, the critical state of the Peruvian country
had rendered expedient.
Although it is asserted that the people of Terra
Firma had submitted, yet it was presumed, that as
soon as might be convenient after the disappearance
of Mortitto, the Patriots would resist and overcome
the feeble authority which remained to command
them.

S Ina well-informed persons entertain the opinion,
that the direction of Morillo would be totally different
from that which was pretended, and that he would
proceed ;0 Vent Cruz to preserve Mexico and its trea-
sures trom danger ; but it was naturally and con-
believed, that should he take the opposite
rtu.ze, he would enter the river Plate on his way, and
reduce 13uenos Ayres to submission, placing that
Viceroyalty under the immediate superintendance.and
prtqection of Anigues, for the Spatnish crown.

FRENCII PAPERS.

CHAMBER OF PEERS.
SITTING oF THE: '2.5 111 OCTOISCII.

The Due deeFriziaNt ES, after a long panegyric on
the conduct of the Duke de Angouieme, made the
following proposition:
" The Chamber of Peers, grateful for the !ervices
rendered to Franje, after having solicited and oh. l
tained tile permission of tl.e King her that purpose,
will vote its thanks to the Doke d'Angoulente, for
his conduct in the Soothe' lkpaitinent, since the
snooth of March in the i,re:eot CA:."
A general ietaing of assent was manifested in fa-
voar of the proposition.
MoNstecit, being present at this Sitting, demanded
to be heard, and spoke as follows :—" Gentlemen,.
pardon the emotion e..hic!. is excited in the breast of
a tatlier by the. panegyric of a son, worthy of all my
love ; worthy,l venture to pronounce,- of the love of
all France; but he is absent, and cannot e:.press to
the Assembly the impression which will be made
viloti him by the proposition sulnuitted to you, and
by the reception which it at this moment meets. I
ought to be his interpreter—l ought to manifest to
you, on this point, my sentiments, which, I am as-
sured, w:11 be his. He cannot but be Clattered with
the precious testimonies of your esteem; but learn
all my thoughts—if my son had had the happiness of
di:playing against the external enemies of France,
that courage which you wish to honour in his person,
such a recompence would be the height of satisfac-
tion to me and to him ; but a Frenchman, a French
Princ can the Duke d'Angouleme forget that it
was against misled Frenchmen that he was compelled
to fight? And how much did that cruel necessity test
his heart. Allow me then, Gentlemen, to refuse for
my son, thanks acquired by such a title. As to the
retreat of the Spanish troops, it was not to my son, it
was to the whole of the South, that we owe the obli-
gation...-it was to the excellent spirit with which those
provinces are animated—it was to the devotedness, to
the fidelity of France for its King, and to the homage
which the noble Spanish character paid to that fide-
lity, that we owe the retreat of the troops which the
King of Spain sent to our frontiers, with the most
tcntily and generous intentions. Forl these reasons,
and appreciating as I ought the reception given to
the proposition which has been submitted to you, I
Amy,: the order of the day on that proposition."
The diecoutse of Monsieur was interrupted in se-
veral places by the applause of the Assembly. They
demanded the printing of his speech, which was
orde:ed.
