RIGA, JULY 26.

For six years past the Noblesse of Riga, Pernau,
Dorpat, &c. have manifested a strong desire of giving
liberty to the 1 easantry of their domains. The States
of the Province assembled on the I Sth of June, and
occupied themselves with this important object. The
Governor, the Marquis de Paulucci, opened the sit-
ting by a discourse, in which he exhorted the nobility
to follow the example set them by those of Esthonia
and Courland. The Marshal of the States in the name
of the order replied, that they felt happy in acceding
to the wishes of his Majesty. And thus that, which
neither Etienne Bathori, the pride of l'oland, nor
Gustavus Adolphus, the glory of Swe Jen, nor even
Catherine the Great—that which in short seemed to
require an age to accomplish, has been r?a!ized in
an instant under the sceptre of Alexander the First!

The Hamburgh Correspondent gives the following,
as an authentic copy of a Note, said to have been
presented on the IL►th of June last, by the Cabinet of
Madrid, to the High Allied Powers, relative to the
situation of its South American I'rovinces:

" Since those ruinous events which, by a natural
consequence, have communicated to South America
the revolutionary germ, and produced in that country
• deplorable efforts, to effect the separation of sub-
jects from their legitimate Sovereign, his Catholic
Majesty has taken, for the invariable rule of his con-
duct, the following principles:—
. " Ist. To employ every means which depend on
human wisdom, to lead back the misguided into the
path of order and obedience, by using as much mild-
ness, and as little rigour as possible.
" 2d. To find in diplomatic negotiation, a politi-
cal mean of attaining this object. The revolutionary
enfranchisement of South America. or its return un-
der legitimate dominion, present political considera-
tions of such weight, as to make it highly necessary
that the eyes of Europe should be fixed upon con-
junctures which may lcad to a new order of things
in i►s political and commercial relations.
" The united efforts of the European Powers have
already destroyed this disastrous system, which had
its birth in the American Revolution ; but it still re-
mains for them to stifle this system in America itself,
where its effects are of the most serious nature.

" His Catholic Majesty, keeping in view the two
principles stated above, and being always animated
with a desire of putting an end to the effusion of
blood and to devastation, the deplorable consequences
of a war of this description, has only waited for an
opportunity of calling the attention of the llip,ll
Allied Powers to a subject which has been irequently
the subject of notes remitted to them severally, and
recently of negotiations most amicably entertained
with the Prince Regent of Great Britain.
The insurrection of Pernambucco made a lively
impression upon his Catholic Majesty, and at the
moment when he wished to recommend this event to
tl:c att.ention of the Allied Sovereigns, it was neces-
sary to demonstrate its connection with their com-
mon !merest. •

which such a state of things presents.

" In order to forward procee.lings so hap pi
menced, his Majosty believes that the mo,
anived when it becomes him to state, ere:,
and solemidy, to his High Allies, the p
which they ought to prescrilic to thernselve
fecting the good purpose in slew, and
the sentiments of humanity.
" His :slaiesty in consequence, and referrie,
overtures which have been already made,
dares, that the following are the points up
he is irrevocably determined:

“ Ist. A general amnesty to the Insurgnt:
as they shall submit.
” 2d. Admission to Americans, gifted v.
per qualities, to all employments concurrem
European Spaniards.
*, U. The regulation of the commerce
provinces with foreign States, according to 11
ciples and conformably to the existing polaif
tion of these countries and of Europe.
" 4th. A sincere disposition on the part o+
tholic Majesty to concur in all measures whi
course of negotiation may be proposed to
his High Allies, and which shall be compati
his rights and dignity. His Majesty is penal'
no obstacle can now remain to the opening
ciations on the bases above laid. down, and
will be equally conformable to the wishes
manifested by his august allies."
