SOUTH AMERICA.

We have received accounts from Carthagena to
the 21st of November, from which we learn that
MoRILLo's labours to subdue the Independents be-
come daily more hopeless. We subjoin one of the
letters. We have other intelligence from that coun-
try, or: which we cannot enter to-day, as the docu-
ments, which are voluminous, require to be trans-
14ted : it is of a most singular and important nature,
and will be read with much interest by every friend
of freedom—by every friend to the welfare and pros-
perity of Great Britain.

" CARTHAGENA, NOVEMBER go, 1813.

44 AU is prosperous, notwithstanding the dearth of
provisions, from which we have occasionally suffered.
Every expedient is had E./course to, and happily the
blockade does not prevent vessels entering the port.
Montuo is in a state of despair. The climate has
contributed much to the destruction of his a:my, and
in his last attack on Fort Angelo be lost many torn.
Nothing but some extraordinary event that might de.
prive Carthagena of the possibility of getting provi-
sions, could enable MORILLO to get possession of the
city, or rather of its ruins; for the inhabitants will
rather see the town rated than capitulate.

66 By a vessel that has just arrived from Coro, we
receive the information of an insurrection at Quito,
in consequence of the approach of the victorious army
of General Cabal t and from Panama we bear that
Montes embarked at Guayaquil for Lima, taking
with him Narino and the Bishop of Quito prisoners.
Caraccas is on the eve of recovering its liberty, and
the Spaniards are already emigrating, and endeavour-
ing to secure all their property. From Mexico we
have a continuation of good news. All announces
the triumph of Freedom."

" RIO JANEIRO, NOVEMBER 25.

" The preptiCAttons which have long bees m ;zing
in Buenos Ayres-to resist the threats of Spain are cer-
tainly great, and adequate to the strength decreed by
the King on the 9th of May ultimo, against that
place, even if it should arrive. The fate of a second
expedition, equal to that of Morillo's late one, is, con-
sequently, extremely problematical. The • new revo-
lution which has taken place in Cusco, has place&
the army of Buenos Ayres, acting in Upper Peru,
in a state to commence offensive measures, and
General Rondeau, availing himself of this advan-
tage, was closely following up Pezuela, who was
retreating on Oruro, with inferior forces, having
abandoned his strong military position of Condo.
—Forces were collecting in Mendoza, whose destina-
tion can be no other than that of aiding the discon-
tented in Chili, and keep the Spanish Government
established there in continual alarm. Four vessels
well armed and manned had left Buenos Apes for
the Pacific Ocean, commanded by Commodore
Brown, which will do considerable injury to the small
remnant, of trade we have in.that sea, and at the same
time aid the political views of the Independent armies
marching towards that quarter."
