SOUTH AMZRICA.

BUENOS AYRES, JUNE 27.
In consequence of the arrival of a ship from Ca-
diz, stating, that the Regency there had been ac-
knowledged by all the provinces of the Mother Coun-
try, as well as by the European Powers in amity with
her, a sensation was produced in the public mind,
and Cisneros, the late Viceroy, who had been appoin-
ted by the Supreme Junta, and the Members of the
Cabildo, who were of his party, wished to re-establish
the old Government, and to remove the new Junta,
which had been appointed at the Revolution.

• On the evening of the 22d, the Audiencia with the
Fiscals and the former Viceroy (Cisneros), were in-
vited to the fort to consult on some affairs of import-
ance. They accepted the invitation, but on their arri-
val there they were informed that they were to be em-
barked that night for Old Spain. As there was no de-
nial, the prisoners sent home for their trunks of clothes,
and in less than an hour they were embarked on board
the English cutter Dart, which immediately sailed
for her destination ; and thus ended the cal-al, which
threatened serious consequences. This bold and de.
termined step of the New Junta has had its desired
effect. All is now perfectly quiet.
A vessel arrived lately from Spain, in which came
Basilio Viola, who brought us the joyful tidings that
the Peninsula was recovering from its recent misfor-
tunes, and that its prospects were brightening in every
direction. The old Spaniards here were also ani-
mated and revived, and the former chiefs of the au-
thorities erected their heads.

Monte Video had previously refused to ac-
cede to the new order of things, and Cordova was
wavering. The Fiscal Caspe, in retiring to his house
in the evening, was attacked by a party, and dange-
rously wounded, and every thing indicated a counter
revolutio i. The new Junta became alarmed, and
the,Royal Audiencia, in consequence of a correspon-
dence with the Junta, requested to withdraw into re-
tirement.

PRIVATE LETTER.-CADIZ, AUGUST il 1

ig The public journals will acquaint you with va-
rious particulars respecting the siege of Tortosa. In
addition to them I have to inform you, that, accar-
ding to later accounts from that city up to the 10th
instant, the General in Chief, having arrived in that
place, determined that the garrison should make a
sally on the 4th, which was accordingly carried into
effect with considerable success ; the enemy were dis-
lodged from their works ; and since, instead of ac-
c3mplishing their object, they are retiring from the
place. The Governor, the Conde de Alacha, was
wounded by a musket ball, which struck him in the
thigh. The French have sustained a considerable
loss ; but during the night they carried off their dead
under the cover of darkness.

" From intercepted letters it is learned, that the
French officers at Zaragossa regard as deplorable the
situation of Suchet, and of his corps, which is destin-
ed for the siege of Tortosa. They experience such a
want of cammunication, that they have resolved to
" send the courier by Taca, which fortress, and that of
Benasques, are continually alarmed and threatened
by our brave flying parties, which, according to them,
infest the mountains, and make inroads into the neigh-
bouring towns.
44 General Caro marched from Valencia, on the
31st July, for Castellon de la Plan?, with various
corps, It is supposed that his intention was to draw I
off the enemy from the siege of Tortosa.
44 The guerrellas and flying parties are every where
doing wonders. That of Don Geronimo Moreno, of
the disti ict of Gaen, after having engaged the enemy
two successive days, and destroyed fifty of them,
Made themselves masters of Mortos, where the gar-
rispn amounted to 140 men. Having gone forth on
a new enterprise, they had a rencounter with another
detachment of the enemy, in which Moreno killed,
with his own hand, the French Commander and his
Adjutant, the French losing 88 men ; and all the
arms, ammunition, baggage of the officers, and the
military chest, falling into our hands. After these
actions, and with only 110 men useful for conveying
the spoil, he mived at Quesada. From thence again
he marched with confidence to meet the enemy, who
were advancing to the number of more than 400 men,
and 50. cavalry. The combat lasted six hours, at the
close of which the enemy retired, abandoning the
field, in which a number of dead bodies were found,
and it is since known he bad many wounded. On
the Ist of August, ten men of Moreno's party entered
Übeda, introduced themselves into the quarters of
the French cavalry, surprised ten of the horses, which
they saddled, and mounting them; rode off, and pre-
seined them to their Commandant."

enemy. The deputies from America are _ _
fl,m day to day.
"There is good nets from Catalonia. .It is said,
that O'Donnell has int.!" cepted all the heavy artillery
which was conveying for the siege of rortosA, and
that the Oege is raised ; but this intelligence requires
confirmation. What is certain is, that the treachery
at Lerida has redoubled the animosity of the Cata-
lans, who have had very successful rencontres with
the enemy.

" In Navarre, the division of Mina, commanded SY
one Francisco Lugo, advanced within a league of Pam-
peluna ; he sent a flag of truce to the French General,
' telling him that he had in his power 400 prisoners,
without having any food to give them, and demand-
ing that 4000 rations and 700 ounces of gold should
be immediately sent for that purpose. The General
refused ; but having received another flag of truce,
informing him that the necessity was pressing, that
only one hour was given him to consider of it, and that
without compliance the prisoners would be put to the
Sword, the General was obliged to yield, and to send
what was demanded. This fact is certain.
" On the 11th instant, General Ballasteros encoun-
tered, between Frejenal and Zafra, one division of
Mortier's, consisting of 6000 infantry, ..vith an equal
proportion of cavalry, Ballasteros was defeated, al-
though the infantry behaved wonderfully : there were
corps which fought hand to hand with the bayonet.
Our cavalry behaved well ; but being out-flanker by
numbers, and having lost two pieces of cannon and
one howitzer, they were about to give way, when the
division of cavalry of General Carrera made its 'ap-
pearance, which deprived the enemy of their object
and drove them to a precipitate flight. The official
accounts of this action must be very favourable.
" On the 22d, General Lacy sailed from this city,
having with him as second in command Don Juan de
la Cruz, who had lately escaped from France. This
expedition, which consists of 4000 men, i 5 composed
of eight companies of grenadiers and light infantry of
the Royal Spanish guards, two companies of Wal-
loons, and :000 other troops, has safely landed at
Huelva ; and its object, though unknown, must be
important.
66 From time to time we receive information from
Madrid, that its environs are scoured by strong par.
ties of guerrillas, who have been so bold as to sur-
prise more than once the guards at its gates, particu-
larly those of Alcala and Foncanal. One party even
carried off the bulls which were provided for a bull-
fight, a diversion which is frequently exhibited by
the French.

" With regard to the fortress of Cadiz, the abun-
dant supplies of provisions, the thousand pieces of
artillery which defend its lines even to the extremity
of the Isla, and the brilliant garrison of allied troops,
render it impregnable, will inflict on the tyrant who
oppresses us the torment of Tantalus."

ANOTHER LETTER.-SAME DATE.
le We have" (says the writer) gi received news
from Madrid, by a Spanish Officer, who lately made
his escape from that city. He had entered the service
of Joseph, in order that he might have an opportunity
of coming over to us, and was attached to the Staff
of Belliard. He says, that in consequence of the re-
cent events, there was a general pack up at Madrid;
the King's carriage was ready to proceed to Burgos ;
but O'Farrell, in a council of war, which lasted from
nine at night till three in the morning, persuaded the
King to remain, and put an end to the sale of provi-
sions in the Retiro, which had actually commenced.
The night after this council of war, an attempt was
' made to shoot the King in the Theatre, under the
following circumstances:—A man inthe pit was heard
to say, in 13iscayan, to another person,--' the hour is
come, the Captain will be ready.' They then went
out of the Theatre. One of the civic guards over-
heard this, and mentioned it to Belliard, who advised
the King instantly to leave the Theatre. He did so,
and at the moment of his arrival at the street-door
there was a discharge of five or six muskets. The
King escaped on foot, and gat into the house of the
Marquesa of Arrisa, where he staid all night. At
the same moment the Puerto Antocha, the Retiro,
and the King's counts y-house, were attacked ; from
the latter all the King's plate was taken. Above 300
persons were taken up in consequence of this occur-
rence.—The garrison of Madrid consisted of 600
French, l'2oo Spaniards, besides French convalescents,
100 cavalry. The remainder of the cavalry, about
600, was stationed at one and two leagues from the ,
capital, on account of the Guerillas.

" Great jealousy bad been created by a Proclama-
tion of R"•assena's, and the tone in which he spoke of
the operations of the French hitherto, and the diffe-
rence which would be felt upon his taking the com-
mand ; about SO ofEcers were sent prisoners to the
Retiro by Belliard, for insubordinate conduct.

46 Morla (stone blind) is in a state of arrest, for
having said in the council of war, when desired by the
King to speak freely, that he thought the game was
up ; for, that none of the promises made to the people
had been kept, and the Spanish officers who had taken
partwith the French were treated with indignity, there-
fore nothing could..be expected from the people but
continued enmity.

44 El Abad de la Granja, Confessor del Rey, has
refused to accept the ili4hoptic of Toledo, and has
concealed himself. •

•" The Spanish prisoners were kept two days with-
out water, to oblige them to enlist with the enemy;
about 2500 were actually effective in the regiments
Ist, 2d, Ist of Ixlanda, and Ist of Castile ; in all the
others up to No. 11, there did not remain 500.

Maci, a Lieutenant of the Empecinado, de-
serted, and promised to bring the head of Martin to
Madrid : he was made Captain, and the command of
200 Spanish dragoons given to him : they reached a
village near Guadalaxara, where they murdered him,
and joined our Guerillas.
