A few days ago we mentioned the arrival of shoat

known to have been made prisoners--were they
all dead ? In another column we have given some
particulars respecting the present state of South

a Member of the Mates at Cadiz ; that he had

.witbott Mercy. Tire and sword have razed whole
ProvinCes. Cities, once populous, are totally anni-
hilated, and more than two hundred thousand per-
sons have already perished in this dreadful contest.
Should the efforts of the Patiiots be. crushed, what
can save from destruction this vast Continent ? That
Revolution which, in 1810, was confined within she
limits of a few Provinces, has now become general.
Its true principles are developed, and the justice of its
cause universally felt and acknowledged. The ob-
stinate determination of the Spanish Government not
to yield to any pacific terms, strengthened the resolo-
tioa of the Patriots to resist g and what the first Re.
gency of '.Z.adis might with ease have effected, the
Cortes found impossible. It was supposed that the
arrival of FaiumwanD VII. would have put an end
to bloodshed and misery ; but this young king, in.
stead of adopting gentle measures, and allowing
Peace to hail his opening reign, coarrearatled submis-
sion from the Americans, and then sent troops to en-
force that submission by spreading murder and de-
struction all around them. How this contest will
end cannot yet be foreseen ; the different Powers of
Europe are mere neutral spectators; and the Ameri-
cans have to resist, unaided, against an old establish-
ed Government, that has at its command all the re-
sources of despotism. Whether Holland, Switzer-
I land, or the United States of America would have
succeeded in establishing their independence without
foreign aid is uncertain. Yet it is to be hoped that
the South American efforts for liberty will avail,
since the spirit of the Patriots has not hitherto been
damped, either by the arrival of the KING in Spain,
the loss of Carthagena, the death of MoRILLo, or
the victory of PRZURLA in Peru. The war will pro-
bably be long, but success may eventually rest with
those who are only straggling for that liberty so
justly dear to man.

Let us take a •iew of the present state of Spanish
America.

We must begin by considering the Spanish Ame-
rican Continent as divided into three pans.-Ist. That
bounded by the United States of America, and the
Isthmus of Panama. 2d. The country between the
Gulf of Darien and Quito. Sd. The country ex•
tending from Cuenca to Cape Horn.
Nearly all the Provinces north of the City of.
Mexico are in the power of the Patriots, The seat
of the Government is at Su'tepee. There is a Con.,
pen composed of the Deputies from the Provinces,
and an Executive Power, which is vested in three
I persons. This Congress has published a Constitution,.
the basis of which is.lst. The right of the People
to have Representatives; 2dly. The Liberty,.ol Co.,
science and of the Preu ; Sdly. The Equality of
in the eye of the Law. This Congress holds inter.
course with North America, and Don HAIRIUMAS is
its Deputy to the United States' The Port of Bo-
quilla of Piedra, which the Patriots have fortified, is
the channel of communication, with North„Apierice.;
and from this Port they receive all kinds of ammuni-
tion of war. The armed force of the itidependatlis
exceeds 30,000 men, which divided into small squa.
thous, succeeds at present in harassing, at least, the
Royal army. The communication between Vera
Cruz and Mexico has been iatermited since last De.
eember, when the Convoy passed,. which had been
stopped in its passage for nearly eight months, al-
though guarded by 2,000 men.
After the defeat of General Monaco., the Inde.
pendants took possession of the small lawn of St.
Lazar, in Mexico, but from thence , they were loon
repulsed. The plan of the campaign which they
adopted was that of Guerillas, who never came. to a
unaided battle.

The Royalists ace in possession of the Sgt th of
Mexico, and principally of AO chief towns in the
South. Their exact strength is not known, but they
•reoeived last yeas' frosts the Peninsulas reinforcement
of dearly 3,000 troops of the line. . . • *.'
..From the Province:of. Choco, in the Gulf of Da-
til* as far as Quito, the country is in a complete
state of iniurrection ; and this Republic is .likewiso
composed of a Congress and of 'an Executive Power,
which resides at Santa Fe de Bogota, and is formed
on alsmii.similar to that of the Congress of Mexico.
Zir `erased force.is divided into two great bodies,
