SOUTH AMERICA.
Our Readers have been in(tirmed of the return of
some of our countrymen who had embarked for
South America, disappointed in their hopes, having
been landed at St. Thomas's, where there were no
arrangements for their reception, &c. There has
beta so much trickery in the bringing forward of these
statements, that the object cannot be mibtakep, viz.
to bring an-odium upon the cause of the Sotith AmeT
lino Independents. The public ought to be -cor-
rectly informed on the particulars to which we allude,
for which purpose we subjoin the following letters, &c.
after a perusal of which, they will be at no loss to
form a pretty correct opinion on the facts.
The first letter may serve as a specimen of some
others from ignorant young men, who having been
defrauded, or having supposed themselves defrauded,
eagerly endeavour to throw the blame on any one.
They were to have been landed on the Spanish Main,
but the Captain of the Two Friends landed them on
St. Thomas's. It is not quite clear that he did not
ultimately proceed to the Spanish Maio; but if he
did not, the fraud lay with him alone:

" liza.-4 paragraph in the Pepin of this day reprisals a
vessel having reached St. Themes, with Ddtfak Oficars on
beard, who had mild from lf,agland en the faith of promisee
width wore net realism% and that, in Olesserence of their great
distress, a subscription had been entered into for their relief.
The fame are simply thew.—ln the amity pert of last sr.
'air, the Two felleds was publicly advertised to take oct pas•
sewn to the Spanish Wine stating, that she would sail on or
before the ist of loan; hirers's:, owlets to extreme mismanage-
ment, eke did not sail for at least two months afterwards. Each
Mow paid his own pessage.wooey ; and the hopes held out to
induce these Moors to embark in the awe of the Patriots were,
to have their passegratessey returned immediately on their land-
fog on the Spanish Slain, and also for their pay to commence
from the day of their landing, with other advantages, which it is
Unionises:7 for me here to detail.
.6 St. Thomas is an island is the possessioo of the Dana; nei-
ther the Spaniards, Independents, or English, have the least con-
wool over it ; comeqaently, U any Officer expected to have those
minims realised at St. Timms's, which were made condi•
clonally on his reaching the Spani..ll Main, be can blame no one
but himself. The Captain was instructed only touch at St. Tho-
mas; therefore. to have landed his passengers was contrary to his
I instructions, and also' the very reverse of his engagement wi h
the Officers, which was for him to proceed (as nearly as be could)
to the head- quarters of Bolivar, alter having touched at St. Tho-
mas. The &street which these Officers are represented to have,
suffixed, I must consider/she; nor can I think that any sobscrip-
tim was entered into for their relief, for this plain reason, that
have received many hills drawn by these Officers on England,
foe which they bad received the money, being (as stated)" the
Bills of those Olken who bad not Wien the letters of credit.
" Now, if these Olken procured cash for their Bills on Eng •
land with no other security than their own names as drawers, it
is quite clear that all who wished might have done the same ;
particularly as some of them have drawn on persons with whom
they were not in the slightest degree acquainted—besidee, too, 1
have letters from the island, dated Gait month after the arrival of
this vessel, in which no mention Is made of any subscription.
" It appears from the drat sailing of this vessel, that the pas-
sengers were involved in continued quarrels; but I bare not been
able to asafetida that more than one was killed, though duelling
seems to have been almost the order of cash day.

According to the neat letter, it would appear,that
after some delay at St. Thomas's, the vessel actually
proceeded to the Spanish Main. The letter also serves
show that some of the adventurers had not been
damped in their ardour by the troubles of the voyage:

The last letter on this subject, which we subjoin
this day, is from one of them, who had contrived to
reach the Independents by some meats or other. It
was, evidently, never intended for publication :

On the whole of the foregoing, we need only
mark, that she Independents have no controul over
the Island of Stl Thomas, which belongs to Denmark:
It is the height of absurdity to blame the Veneruilan
Agent, or any one connected with the Independents,
as being concerned in sending these individuals to 4t.
Thomas's. What interest could they possiblj have
in it ? or what motive ? None but fools act without
a hope of advantage in some way or other. As to
some getting tired of the profession of arms, in a cattle
in which they bare something else to do than thew
themselves on a parade, it is quite natural. But to
complain of the hardships of such a life only exposes
them to ridicule. Those who, satin: tick upon Inert
rsikortit think at to return to their 4. Papa and Mama"
may meet with their congratulations on their escape,
but they must submit to be despised (whether they
like it or not) by all others. As to eating raw meat,
this must be only betause they like it.; for we never
heard that 6re•wood was one of the articles not to
be found in South America.

Preparations are making in the residence of the
Duke of CLaautcs, at Bath, for the reception of the
Palace Rnoturr, who, it is expectesi, will pay a visit
to his Royal Mother nest week.
We are happy to learn that Sir JAMES MIGREGOR,
who has been severely indisposed, is now out qf all
