*itched us this day. ' -1)

By a leiter from tM Ainerican Consul at Mini-
niqueb published in ths Philadelphia journal of the
12th, notice is given, that the 'admission of Flour
from the United States was prohibited from the 10th
of November.

Private letters received by different commercial,
houses in the City state, that ten ships had sailed
from the ports of Boston, Nati York, and Baltimore,
in the month of October, laden with ammunition of
every descriptions manned by Americans, and on
board of which a great number of British seamen
bad volunteered, in order to join the Patriots on the
Spanish Mains they also state that the inhabitants
of those places were particularly anzious for the suc,
ems of the Independent cause.

SOUTH AMERICA.
From the Caroms Courant of 13th September, we
give the subjoined Manifesto from the people of
Margarita, whose bravery and misfortunes have
occupied a distinguished place in the annals of the
war in South America. and whose inviolable patrio-
tism and undaunted efforts to accomplish and secure

independence, are perhaps unr►valled in modern
times. Such men are preeminently deserving of the
privileges of freedom ; and those who do not hesitate
to prefer the sacrifice of ail pecuniary objects, and
endure the most distressing privations, rather than
en►brace proffered mercy at the band of a tyrant, will
be disappointed io their endeavours only by the anni-
hilation of their numbers. Such an example as they
have afforded for the observance of the Patriots of
other Provinces, is worthy of the most adventurous
and persevering achievements of the most renowned
ages.

On the perusal of 11th Maaifato, addressed to
an impartial world," the reader who feels interested
in the emancipation of South America from pulitical
bondage, will have only to regret that the whole
amount of territory in a state of insurrection does net
present the same remarkable unanimity and invio
fable determination effectually to resist the encroach.
ments of the slaves of FERDINAND, as have heretofore
been, and still are, manifested at Margarita.

MANIFESTO
TO. AN IMPARTIAL WORLD.

" MARGAIITA, JUN? le, 11117.

" Since Gori created the Univam, or this huge
abode of mortals, from which period we reckon an
interval of more than six thousand years, there have
been revolutions which have afflicted it with the de.
siruction of the human species.
" Venezuela occupies the last page in this dismal
history. On the 19tH of April, of the year 1810,
she toned the awed hymn of her emanetpation, and
among remarkable periods, she struggles against the
strongest concussions to obtain it.
" Glorious juurnies—brilliant and distinguished
conflicts are the must •irrefragable proofs of Vene.
turban valour.

Tne island of Margarita, one of the principal
and complete pans of the Confederated States, reared
likewise the standard of honour, and walked upon
the tracks of her fellow-citizens.

a On the 4th of May of that same year, she de-
posed, with the greatest moderation, the Spanish
Commander—the same who at the entrance of Monte-
verde, in Caracas, had been corsamiun.ned to afflict
in the prisons of Puerto Cabello, among other Ame-
ricans, the natives of Margarita.
Cartbagena supported the cause Of Venezuela in
the year 1813—and a leader chosen by the suffrages
of the people, marched forward to break asunder the
chains of his oppressed brethren. They all blessed
the work of their liberator I but in opening a new
campaign, this same people was doomed again to
safer mournful vicissitudes s their unfortunate emi-
gration, witnessed by the windward islands, presents
one of the most melancholy pictures of honest
lies breathing by the mercy of foreign nations, whose
.generosity is stamped in. the heat of every good
American.

If PMOVIDICKI, casting an eye of compassion on
their sufferings, should one day grant them the well
deserved chart of their liberty, that they may have a
Government of their own to secure, and protect the
sacred rights of RM. they shall by distinguished be-
nefits requite the religious hospitality, which has been
afforded to them by these itiendly colonies.
" The circle of their revolution is not yet closed.
This ftnions volcano is still emitting dreadful flames.
The Independents are ambitious of their liberty—
they demand to bold a seat among nations—death
cannot discourage them—they look upon /limas are-
lief from ignominy.
