SO Uril AMERICA.

By the Jamaica Pactirs. And letters from Kingston,
we learn that the affairs s;f the P triot party in South
America begin to assume a mere favourable aspect.
Notwithstanding the partial "success occasion d by
. Murillo's large force, every succeeding account re-
ceived at Jamaica seeireJ to confirm the impossobi-
lity.of the ultimate irfiiynr4 of the Mother Country
'against the Colonies. '•
1511. var, the well-known General of the ininrifents,
who by AlninA a miracle escaped assassination 4 short
time ago at Jamaica, it is believed, is destined to ac-
comphsft the independence'of his native country. He
sailed about the' 20th of March, from Aux Cayes,
with twenty armed and from 2,500 to 3,((X)
men, with an abundant supply of arms and ammuni-
tion, tolive vigour to the efforts already made by his
brother patriots in arms in Curnana and Barcelona.
Murillo, on summoning New Grenada, liad receiv-
ed in answer, that the inhnbstsnts were determined
to resist to the last breath; and that the most hor-
rible of wan, that of extermination, would inevitably
ensue. .

By the latest accounts Murillo had been driven I
back three times into his lines at Mornpox, and Was
shortly expected to be obliged to retire to Carthagena.
The Caraccat Gasettee; which had been received at
Kingston to the 2th • of. February, draw a more
favourable picture of Ferdinand's affairs up to that
period: The Royalists
.had gained decided advan
cages at sea along the coasts; and whilst the Spank!)
marine forces wete destroying upon the coasts all the
means of the disaffected to obtain succours or tr,
the insurgents, driven to despair, or in the hope of
bettering their situation, rest,lved on a general attack
upon the whole of the Spanish fortified line. On the
25th. at eleven in the morning, they with their whole
force fell upon the •posts of Mamey Puente, and
Cupey : the first garrisoned by the troops under
Lieutenant-Colopel Curtin, and the second and third
by those of Bcbastio and the Union. •
At the post of Mamey it is admitted the combat
was more obstinate.. On that point there, was a con-
tinned series of attacks and retreats until, three
o'clock in the afterniapp. ;The gazette colicludea ea.
follows : " At this,,time is ammunition chest blew
up in the castle of Santa Ross, and they supposed
this explosion bad been the destruction of the whole
fortresses. They then mock another desperate attack,
but a dreadful slaughter shewed them that they were.
mistaken. At four o'clock the most shameful Bight
ptit an end to the combat, in•spite of the threats by
which, from his place of safety, the cowardly
tnendi attempted to force Ova to return. Our lfttis
on this day, one of the roost glorious for us, con
sisted in two. soldiers killed and eight slightly
'wounded. The brass Urreistietsr and souse ;Wises
were slightly wounded by the explosion.".. •

We have received the Paris-Papers-of Saturday,
with private letters of the same date. Their 'contents
ate more important, on account of their guarded lan-
guage, than what they ventbre to express, respecting
the state of the public mint!, which seems to be every
where agitated with the most fearful apprehensions;
apprehensions the more painful and distressing, as
every one is left to guess at the extent of the ramifi-
cations of revolutionary machinations and treason,
without any clue to direct their views to those quar-
ters whence the chief danger may be apprehended.
In fact, there seems to have been but too much
ground for the various rumours in the private letters
which have for some rime been transmitted from'
Paris, of secret conspiracies among the disaffected of
every description, who, however they may differ in
their politic4l views on other points, are believed to
Ise inclined to cu-operate in assailing the present Go-
.treritinent.

'At Grenolsle, at Amiens, and even at Paris, the
discontented have manite.ted the most alarming in•
tentions. At the erst-mentioned place there is, in
fact, at this moment, an organized and open reb..l-
- though denied in the Paris Papers.—At
the Prefect, and ocher civil And military officers, have
been dismissed by the KINK; for conniving at the
meetings of secret societies; and at eAris a number
of individuals have been arrested, who are believed
to ban had correspondence with the insurgents at
Grenoble, and to have been planning means for giving
them co operation in the capital. From what ha.
been suffered to transpire, it seems but probable
that the rebellion which has a:tually broken out at
Greniiible, is but a pare of a wide plan, extending to
eery distant parts of the kingdom ; and which the
director* are only waiting for a favourable opportu-
nity to set it into general action. The following ate
some p. rticulars that have transpired:

,6 Four thousand halt pay °dicers, disguised as
pe.unts, collected' together nn the A vesnes /moun-
tains bordering upoa Daup`tiny), and watching for
a favourable opportunity, attacked Grenoble, but
without cannon. They were met by the Governor,
with a regiment of the line, assisted by the gets
d'armes, and the National Guards, with four twelve-
piunJeri. The Royalists occupied a strong position.
The Insurgents made four distinct attacks upon the
artillery, and attempted to carry it by a cottfr de

pt without somas. The rebels were repulsed, and
compelled to quit the field, but retired towards the
mountains in good order ; they left bchind them 150'
killed, and upwards of 200. wounded. Tliese despe-
radoes issued proclamations in the name of NAPO.
