ST. PETERSBURGH, OCTOBER 10.

Oa the 31st of July, oar Ambassador, Lieutinant-
General Yermolow, was admitted, with great so-
!enmity, to a first audience of the Sovereign of Per-
sia, Fetb Aly Schab, near Sultanie, the Schah's resi-
dence, in a magnificent tent. The Ambassador
having with him a band of music, strong detach•
meats of Cossacks, and a brilliant suite, was received
by a body of 3000 Persian horsemen of distinction,
and by a guard of honour of 200 men : he was then
received by the brother-in•law of the Schah, u well
as by the late Persian Ambassador in Russia, Musa
Khan, who wore the insignia of the Orders of the'
Lion and of the Sun, and the Portrait of the Schell.

The Ambassador having made three salutations,
ilthe Schab, seated on a magnificent throne, called out
to him, is Be welcome," and made him a sign with
his hand to come nearer—after 'event salutations,
he presented to the Schab his credentials, upon a gol-
den salver. The Schah encuired after the health of
the Emperor of Russia, of the capital where he was
last, and expressed a wish to have (like the Leto.
pean Sovereigns) an interview with the Emperor of
Russia. The Ambassador was seated in a magni-
ficent axm chair, but he rase who:toter the Schah
spoke to him 4 the conversation lasted a quarter of
an hoar--then ..he Ambassador's suite was presented
to the Schab, who remind all the persons composing
it with tte words u De. welcome." Among them,
was Captain Itotzebue.

Ths Sehah was told that this officer bad pasted
three years in a voyage round the world, but that Ise.
bad, above all, desired to see the great Sovereign of
Persia. The Schah took it as a pleasantry, and said,
then, sow you have seen every
Ming." The crown of the Schah is formed of the
most costly jewels, as well as a large aigrette, which
he wears hi it. From the shoulders to the girdle.be
wu covered with rich jewels; his dagger was also
adorned with them, which looked incredibly brilliant
in the sun. Some of tae largest stones bear the name;

SOEITH AMERICA.
•
We brie received accounts remeiting South Ame-
rica t!srough various channels—l'Letters from Buenos
Ayres to the middle of August, via France, state,
that the Portuguese had evacuated Montevideo. Ac-
counts had been received from Chili, announcing that
the Royalist garrison stationed in Talcagnann„ a
I southern point in Chili, sad the only one in that cis!".
try held by the Spaniards* had sent propoiala of ci

',situation to General SaII'MARTIII9 on condition oolg
of being allowed to return to Lima. The Patriot
Chief had returned for answer, that he would consent
to no capitulation that was not unconditional ; in con.
sequence of which it was expected the garrison would,
in a few days, be compelled to surrender at discretion-
I The Buenos Ayres privateers, called the Chscabuce
and San Martin, bad made twelve valuable prizes off
Cadiz, which bad arrived safe.

Letters from Trinidad to the 26th of August bring
some accounts relative to the Spanish Main, confirm-
ing *tails which ban already been communicated
to our Readers, and edding some additional facts
The American Papers which we announced yestct-
day also furnish a few details.
lagitT SPAIN, AUGUST IS,
My letters by the ship Prince of Wales would in,-
' form you of the total redaction of the fine Province
of Guayana. The Patriotic Army sdisk possession
the. town of Angostura on the 17th July, and of
the fortresses, or Old Guayana, on the Sd August.
A part of the slipping, say nine or ten vessels, with
the remains of the garrison, has arrived at Grenada ;
but I suspect that between death and desertion there
remaive few to embark. Brigad*-General Latorre
aGnduaoUmarc oern r Fitzgerald are said to of the num-
ber at Grenada: The Temkin which the Dishop em-
barked was stranded in one of the creeks, and some
launches proceeded from this., two days ago, to en-
deavour to bring him off; for where he is be runs
great risk, I understand, of being starved or drown-
ed. It is very probable he will have been picked up
by the Patriots. As yet it is not ascertained what
number of vessels Brion 5.ha,1,1 have taken, as nothing
has arrived grow thence but a small skiff just on the
surrender ; and as she came through the ereeks.could
know little of what was pissing on the Risser. But
a great number of craft has sailed from this, and I
hope our ;rade will feel. the good effects shortly.

Oa the'2lth the Patriots having abandoned the
town of Pampatar to concentrate thernselvEs toward. ~
the north part of the island, the Spanish troops cc ti
pied the town and neighbouring heights. It is 1.,
observed, that this part of the country is r.o bane-,
that there is not an atom of provisions of any sort v.
be found in it, and of course was not tenable by th,..%
Pareiots, who subsist on their own supplies. The
Margaritaneans having(' great many points to
fend, sad the Spaniards having the command at sea,
the latter could always attack with great superiority
of numbers any particular point—hut the former are
tall riflemen, and know every inch of the country..
On the 31st General Morilo in person, at the head
of 1600 of his best troops, attacked the city, covered x.
and defended by three hundred infantry, and about
as many cavalry. This city was destroyed by the
Spaniards when General Arismendi expelled them
the island, and is now an open ruined place. so that
the action was in the °pea country between the co.
vering army and Mosillo's troops.—General Gomm
commanded in person in the foremost ranks.
The action commenced st ten A. as. end lasted till
six e.sj. when victory declared for the Independents
and Morillo, under cover of the night, retreated upon
Pampatar, with the loss of about 600 martined and
wounded. Having got a reinforcement of 400 from
Barcelona, he presented himself by sea and land be-
fore the town of Juan Griego oa the Bth of August,
and on the 9th attacked it with 2,000 men. The
defence for a long time depended on a battery, thrown
up in a harry, and mounted with five guns, and de_
fended by 150 men. This caused prodigious flAugh•
ter among the enemy, but before the reinforcement
under General Gomez came up, the battery acciden.
tally blew up, and the enemy got possession of the
town. The action was, however, maintained with
groat bravery by the Margaritaneans, with General
Gower at their bead: and Morillo, having lost a
great number of men, and finding he could not stir
an ineh out of the town, abandoned it on the 11th.
Q,n the 13th Gala* Gomel writes to a friend here,
that lm had lust learned from the deserters that Mo-
rillo was evacuating Panspatan, ?helms of the Spa.
niards is estimatedat 4,500 killed and wounded; the
Margeritaneans admit a lose of 400, chiefly in the
expiation of dm beam.
Tots will have *eon Morillo's Proclamation, threat-
ening fp exterminate the Margaritaneans with their
faeußies, as Ten as his summons to Gomez, and the
latter's answer, which breathes all the noble fewness
.of or [cadet and his berpic countrymen. It appears
by a letter from Margerisn4 that the Proclamation
was acted upon. It says—so The Spaniards pot tome
women and children to death in the valley of Aspiiint
&ante, and in the tpwn of Juan Griego. In-the for.
met, they cut off a child's hands, sad wet him is
this state to the city, no doubt believing it would
terrify the Margaritaneans; but this operation caused
a different effect, for it irritated them the more, and
they then put colonel lanjano, and this other panties:
they bad hitherto preserved,, to death."
Aurnisr 24.—Since writing the foregoing. a boat,
sent by General Bolivar to communicate to the Co.
vernment of Margarita the total reduction of Gus.
yaps, has called in here, and brings a confirmation
of the complete evacuatino Pampatar, and, all the
Olinda! Margarita, by the Spaniards. Morillo set
o vrilt) his vessels and troops down the coast, it is
supplied, or La Guayra. It is said Caracas is rae-
naced by an invading army from the interior. Thus
has ended the lemons expedition of Morillo, and all
his threats of exterminating a brave and virtuous
people ! He bas lost the Sower. of his troops and
officers, among others a Colonel Aldaipas, the officer
who took Barcelona, and the same who, publicly
flogged a lady of Cumuli', tied on a jack-ass, MVP
tioned some time ago in the London Papers.
General Marino lately attacked the town of Cr

That these are susceppbl of discipline. *Go

a pity that the Spanish pride and policy, by retusint
all exchange of prisoners, and petting those they tA'e
to death, should forte the Independents so frequeni
to retaliate. Had Morino exchanged Colonel Luj. 0
for General Freites, two valuable lives would Is•

to saving his countryman and brother officer. He
will, I have hale doubt, soon experience the effect of
his system in New Granada, many provinces of which
are represented to be in a state of open revolt against
their oppressors. In fact, the Spanish Government
'may now adopt what maxims it likes, for all confi-
dence is destroyed between Spain and Ametica, and
the Inquisition has lost all its charms for the South
Americans 1 I find M'Greger has taken possession
of Amelia Island, and was preparing to attack St.
Augustine. He is the popular Saint of Venezuela at
present, instead of St. James. He has fought their
battles like a hero, and preserved the honour of his
country by the most disinterested conduct. Where
he was there was no plundering, and those who served
under him admire his discipline.

I American Papers to the 16th ult. confirm the Intel-!
ligence, before received, of the Spanish forces having
quitted Amelia Island in the beginning of 6eptem-.
ber ; and those on the neighbouring Main having
taken up their line of march for Sr. Augustin. The
M;11:ia had PreviouilY returned to their k#lllCl. COM-
pletely disgusted with the service of the Royalists,
mod have since made their peace with the Liberating
Army. Commodore AURY • as before announced, has
been elected Captain General; Colonel Inwru, Com.
mand ant of the Land Forces ; B. HU/PARD, Esq.
Governor of the Two Florida'; HENRY toUNG, Cul-
lector ; and WILLIAM AGLZIY, Marshal ; and every
thing is going on well. The prizes in the pnrt of
St. Mary" the sth of September, were two Spanish
'ships and two brigs, containing upwards or three
I.•ousan.l boxes of sugar, a quantity of coffee, indigo,
ccdincil, and specie ; and another large ship, ar•
rived that day, laden with sugar and hides. The
hole property afloat there is said to be worth hal-
a million of dollars.
