SPANISH AMERICA.

In the Boston Commercial Advertiser of the sth of
February, we meet with the following brief notices
on affairs to the Southward :

" News from New Grenada states, that the new
Viceroy had officially notified that he could no lon-
ger sustain the kingdom in consequence of disasters
experienced by his parties on the Plains of Casenane ;
that Morillo had threatened to execute one of his
Generals for having retreated with 5000 men before
SOO Independents ; that on the 6th October the Inde-
pendents had defeated the Royalists and captured the
Province of Pampluna ; that in Carthagena the Spa-
niards were preparing for an expected siege."

" A Gentleman from Panama informs, that the
Independent Army of Chili had landed in Peru, to
join the powerful armies from Buenos Ayres ; that the
Royal Army in Peru had been routed; and that the
.Patriot Armies were in triumphant march for Lima:
that Cases had already become independent, • which
had excited great alarm in Lima; that the ports of
Lima and Guayaquil were closely blockaded by the
Patriots, whose vessels had appeared off Panama,
and it was supposed their flag will fly in triumph
from Cape Horn to the North point of Venezue:a
within six months.

Accounts from St. Mary's to the 20th ultimo
state, that Commodore Ara( still remained at
Amelia, but was making preparations to embark,
with all his naval forces and effects. It was, however,
thought by some, that the Island would be restored
to him, as soon as a fair representation of his pro-
ceedings could be made to our Government:—
What other result can be expected from such a re-
presentation than that which followed the appeal of
the Lamb to the Wolf ?

Yesterday Divine Service was performed at Carl-
ton-House, by the Rev. F. W. BLOMBERG and the
Rev. Dr. S. CLARKE.

Friday evening the Duke and Duchess of Gr.ou-
rEsTrit gave a grand entertainment at Gloucester-
house, Piccadilly, to the QUEEN, the PRINCE RE-
GENT, &c. There was also a select evening party at
nine o'clock, to which the particular friends of the
Royal Family were invited. The Royal Duke's band
of the ,`id Regiment of Foot Guards attended in their
splendid state dresses, and played during the evening
some charming Marches.
The Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND was safely de-
livered of a still born male child, at half-past seven
o'clock on Friday evening, at his Grace's house in St.
James's-square.
The Countess of MARCH was safely delivered of a
son and heir at half-past six o'clock on Friday even-
ing at Richmond House.
The Prince cf HEssE HOMBERG visited the QUEEN
and the Princesses AUGUSTA and ELIPABETH on Sa-
turday and yesterday. He dined with the Marquis
of SALISaURY on Saturday, and in the evening went
to the Opera.
COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.--Saturday the Opera
of Zuma was repeated, and, as usual, attracted a most
brilliant and respectable audience. The Songs were
mostly encored, particularly the beautiful Echo Duet
between Miss STEPHENS and Mr. BRAHAM, and his
admirable and truly appropriate song " Peruvians
wake to glory." The latter was sung three times,
and excited the loudest and most rapturous applauses
of the audience, which continued for some time after
the song was ended.—The Duke and Duchess of
GLOUCESTER arrived at the Theatre nearly at the
conclusion of the Opera, when " Goo save the King"
was called for, and sung in the most effective style
by BRAHAM and Miss STEPHENS,assisted by the whole
of the vocal strength of the House.

PHILHARMONIC SOCIETYr.-The first Concert for the
present season, commenced on Monday last, with an
admirable Selection of Music.—Mr. WEICHSEL led
the band with his usual spirit and accuracy, and the
room was crowded with rank and ashiun.
