SOUI4I AMERICA.

By the Speedy packet, which reached Falmouth on
Monday from the Breads, we have received accounts
from that quarter to the 29th of January. These.
with the papers from General Bouvaa's head-quar-
ters, and the letters from St. Thomas's, the latter to
the 26th of February inclusive, bring down the ac-
counts respecting the war in South America, to the
middle of February.
The details now before us wear a very different
complexion from some of the accounts which have
lately been received through the medium of the Ja-
maica Papers. In fact every artifice is employed by
the Royalist party to disguise the truth, by magnify-
ing the most trivial advantages into absolute annihi-
lations of the Independent' forces, converting flights
before their pursuers into mere changes of position,
sad even defeats into victories. There may. it is
true, be also some favourable colouring in the ac-
counts published by the Patriots ; but they have this
in support of their general accuracy—that, frequently
after the Royalist Commanders have drawn and
quartered the Generals of the adverse army. dis-
persed their followers, and published t'le intelligence
officially, we find the' dead men still able to face their
destroyers, and the mended frailest able to furnish ac-
countsot their own operations against their oppressors.
In truth the Royalists have gained, no solid ad-
vantages; for since the commencement of this contest
for emancipation, the range for their marauding ex-
cursiots has rather been limited than extended, their
armies have bren diminished in numbers, the rein-
forcements have been worn out and need to be re-
plenished ; while the general strength and resources
of the insurgents, both by land and sea, have been in-
creased. In a conflict of this kind, protraction is
ruin to the invader—to the Power which recruits at
a distance from the scene of action s nay more—not
'to be decidedly victorious, is to be absolutely de-
feated and ruined.

But bow much is the truth of these positions forth=
fied when the character and circumstances of the.
Power that would tyrannize, indicate moral and phy.
sical decay—only a tolerated existence ? When,
at home, she is so weak as to be unable to repel
aggression without the aid of other Powers; and her
procedure towards her own children possesses every
character opposite to justice and paternal t►ffection ?
That any Journalists in this country should be
found capable of advocating the cause of the Mother
Country is wonderful; but, happily for the future
hopes of the oppressed, the battles by which they
mean to break their chains in pieces will produce
their natural results in spite of any attempts that may
be made to disguise them in hireling Journals.

" Two days after the above battle, the patriot General bla-
unis arrived at &radon% with newly snots awn, leaving Gole-
ta! !diatheses charged to follow up the siege of Camas, whilst
be himself proceeded en rapidly to strengthen General beiciven.
The latter was preparing instantly to march on Caracas, by pen
gulag the route of the sea shore, whilst at the same dine the divi-
sion of the plaice, which we suppose is coosmaaded by General
,Aawatsrsy Wall proceeding by the interior towards Victoria.

By this dew we eonatder the &Alai which has pushed on Nast-
ways to be very near Caracas, for-we know of no body of Spa-
ebb troops capable of stopping ltd web for a moment. Neither
wits there any in the plains, but CALSAIDA and GOR RIX may have
joined, sod possibly may bare arrived in time to oppose General
Amman'', though for this object it appears they have not suffi-
cient troops. We are now on the eve of a great event, which
every thing announces win be in our f . Nevertheless, in
ads species of warfare we see such extraordinary things, that no
positive assurances an be given tin all baa been achieved.

A brig of 14 guns and 140 men, and a schooner with one
it-powder mid.htps on a slide, and four deck guns lind SO men,
vessels well known in these seas by the prizes they have made
under the Buenos Ayres Bag, have joined our squadron as
auzUlaries.

" limas various quarters we have received faftwination that
SOO Royalists, with their arms and officers, in Guayana, have
gone over to General PIAIIOI division, which by this time must
be In the plains. k was expected that the Caracas Gazette
would announce his change of destination as the effect of a de-
feat, and so has It happened. This Gazette, by the official lies
it has constantly been in the habits of publishing with a view to
&sinks the real state of things to the people, has now lost Ice
credit so muck that In Caracas itself it maces for this paper to
Insert any occurrences in a way favourable to the Spaniards, for
them to be viewed as absolute disasters.

• e Even the news derived from official reports is not only glen.
sed over and 'liberated, but facts are sompletely misrepreeented
and &stinted; as happened with the dispatch hi which MooAtts
described the battle of Junstaii The private duplicate be was
sending out to the Commander in chief, by sr", was intercepted by
us, and in it he confesses his defeat, which the Carat:al Ossetic
=natters as a sweat of both armies, after that of the Indepen-
dents haring suffered the greaten Ins% Thus it Is the Relating
resort to all hinds of delusive tricks to keep up the teputation of
their arms, and hide the paucity of their means, bat the day of
just retribution is at hand, when they and their partizans will be
undeceived.

" At ibis ruoinent the schooner Rose, Captain loom Na ev-
olve too Into, has arrived from La Gotta, which place she
left as the 15th Inst. she brings Spanish Gazettes to the 12th.—
It is evident from the materna of these papers (of which, if the
Pocket only allows time, extracts shall be forwarded), that the
Government is drives to its last shift, and filled with appreben •
sloes it would fain conceal. The Ratalocian passengers who have
arrived in her, say, that on ►er departure they heard it reported
that a boot bad arrived down the elver Tuy, bringing Information
to the 10th, when it was said reload/am had occupied Barcelona,
after destroying the whole door troops, sad killing the three
Generals, ARISIARSIDI, MARINO, Sad BOLIVAR, and putting all
theinhabltants to the sword. Such a piece of information would
indeed have alarmed us, if we had not received accounts from
Margot** of the leak and even from Barcelona of the 11th, at
which time MARINO had just arrived, and all were preparing in.
I want, to march on Caracas.

"As REAL. WAIT WhOff orders MORA LBO sets, occupied
Barcelona for nearly a day, and actually fell into tie trap bid for
him, it is not strange that be should have !ulna, sent off an
express, announcing that the independents who had (zoned the
river were flying, and that thirst win remained in die Convent
of St. yratris, not baying bad time to escape, would all perish or
be made prisoner& The Spaniards, however, omitted the tail of
the affair, and this lame piece of news will be celebrated as a
victory; air Extraordinary Gazette will be published; and vary
possibly the people will be still In the Wasiak of BOLWA I being
destroyed, when they hear he has reached the very walls of Ca-
racas. With regard to ARISM suns, It Is bnpo4le, sine he
was in Chaparro on the 9th, that he could have been Wiled on the
loth In Barcelona. Although this nets deserves no credit whit•
ever, these observations are nevertheless made with a view to
prevent the information arriving direct from Caracas dough Ja-
maica br other places, from spreading that some &lesion width
on tuber occasions has been practised by the Spaniards."
