SOUTH AMERICA.

Letters from Madrid, in the French Journals, pre-
sent accounts from South America; but they only
come down to the beginning of September. Our own
accounts from Carthagena are to. a much later date,
and prove that Rottit.Lo has been dNappointed in the
hopes he had formed of speedily reducing the place,
r though he has caused it great distress.
By Carthagena Papers, from the MI of October
to the 'list of November, we learn, that 6, General

Molina.° had published and introduced into Cirtha-
geni a Proclamation, by v:lti.ch he invited the Vene-
zuelan officers and soldiers of Bouvaii's army to
come over to him, promising parch,n and retsard.
tliceazning with death Obose that would not
avail themselves of the proffered amnesty within fif-
teen days. But the besieged equally despised his
promised rewards and his deadly thteaten;ngs, pro.
fessitig That they would rather die than commit so
bake an action; or contribute to the slavery of their
country.

4, The blockading fleet bomb.irded the town on
the %di of October, from four iii the afternoon t.ll

dark; when it retired, alter having received consi.
der.tble damage froth the Ere of the b..tteries of the
place. Even the ladies denp•isrd so much the ineffec-.
lu.tl attack of the enemy, that they kept :he whale
time on their balconies, encouraging the hallabitants
by the sound of • Long live our country;'
• _

" On the 25th of October, the schooner of war
the Constitution, carried into Boca Chica the Spanish
sloop of war the Thunder, Captain Oterola, belong-
ing to the blockading fleet, and taken in their sight.
A division of Spanish troops, under Brigadier Por-
ras, could not occupy the city of Ocana ; which cir-
cumstance induces a belief that the troops sent by the
Congress of Santa Fe, had then entered that city.
Morillo had contrived to introduce, through the
Channel of Paralabello, some boats and gun-boats,
to cut off the communication of the town and the
castle of Boca Chica; but he failed in his object, as,
the Sun-boats of Carthagena always checked the
enemy, who kept himself ander the protection of the.
batteries he had 'constructed in the harbour. Eight
vessels had, iu the interim, got into Carthagena, the
greater rare from the United Stater, and some from
Jamaica, all laden with provisions, so that the place.
was supplied for font mohths'moro.
In General Morino perceis'ing that his blockade
proved ineffectual, as he could not binder the coming
in of provisions, resolved to act vigorously against'
the place; and accordingly he chose the day of the
anniversary of the Independence to begin his opera-
tions. He ordered Major-General Villavicencio, on
the l2th November, at four o'clock in the morning,
to assault the fortress of La Popa with a column of
800 select men; bar he failed in his attempt.
" The Independents, who defended the fortress,
under Colonel Soublete, fought gallantly ; and sue-
cessfully resisted tines obstinate attacks made by the
Spaniards, who were at length obliged to retire, with
the loss of 160 killed, wounded, or prisoners. The
commander of ;he escalade, Capt. Barbartno, and
Lieutenants Cornejo and Espino were among the
first,. The fate of General Villavicencio, whose hel-
met was found at the foot of the hill of La Papa, is
not known,"
By letters from Jamaica, dated November 28,
we learn, that a schooner from Carthagena bad ar:

.
:Wed at Pi rt Royal on dui rat, and beeniglii tits
aQi4s of ttt).; Spaniards having liicked the castle
Del Anat, and of one of those whielt defend Bock
Chica, nird of their having been rePabed with . the
lots of 120 men. There is little doubt but that it
wasfOt this attack that the Spaniards lAnded at 'mi.
rabi!thba, on the 17th of November, some troops,
and marched towards that castle.

We intended this day to have continued our de-
tail of circumstances connected with the offer made
by the Republic of New Granada of the sovereignty
of khat country to the Crown of Great Britain, but
the press of European intelligence obliges us to defer
it till to-morrow.
We cannot, however, refrain horn observing, that
eiery arrival from Spain brings intelligence Of a na.
hire by no means calculated to regain the affections
of the South Americans. In the cruelties inflicted
by FERDINAND on those whulabot4ed and shed their
blood to restore him to the throne of Spain, they can-
not but see the Este that awaits them, should they
ever again acknowledge his. sovereignty.
• By letters from Madrid to the 10th instant, we
learn, that on Christmas Day, the King, err hearing
'Wash condemned fifteen persons accused of being
Liberaler, in thg same manner as he lately condemned
other patriots, to hard labour, banishment, &c. The
same equitable and .4 beloved FERDINAND" has or-
dered all the dyranrertados, that Is, the Spaniards who
served fling J.,scpit, to be set at liberty. Among
these are several who acted as Judges in the tribunals
of and who condeinned many Patriots to
death, taken with aims in their bands fighting fiy
FERDINAND.
