ROME, JULY 25.

Li pursuance of orders from the Emperor, the pro-
perty of the non-jurant Bishops and Canons has been
sequestrated. The suppressions will take place gra-
dually, because a strong Government may, indeed,
tolerate those who profess a different religion, but not
those who refuse to obey its orders ; and this they do
who refuse to take the oath of obedience which it re-
quires, Suppression will thus be, in every instance, the
legal consequence of rebellion, and the recusants will
be either compelled to banish themselves, or will he
transported into the interior of France. The property
attached to the suppressed benefices will be put up to
sale, and the proceeds be applied in extinction of the
public debt.
'By a Decree of the Ilthr the Bishopric of Tivoli
has been suppressed in consequence of the Bishop re-
fusing to take the oaths. It is united with the dio-
cese of Agnani.

The Supreme Government, from the moment of
its establishment? has been of an opinion, supported
by that of the people, that one of the bases of our
present and future prosperity depends on the harmony
and reciprocal friendship of our relations with Eng.
land, being a natural consequence of the principles
proclaimed by the people in the memorable day of
our regeneration, and reqtfired by the general interest
of the great association of Vinezuela, the dignity of
the Spanish name, and the joint efforts of the two
nations, who contend against the tyranny that op-
presses the Eastern Continent. While the Supreme
Junta with one arm crushes the agents of the former
oppression, she extends the other to her friendly ally,
England, whom she invites to become witness of the
justness of our cause, the generosity of our conduct,
and the dignity of our sentiments, and thereby unite
more closely by mercantile relations with a nation,
who having recovered its rights? is enabled to give
a greater impulse, more profit, and more dignity to
such relations. The genius of Venezuela carried to
Curacoa the news of its political exertions, het? re the
Government, from the urgency of the first moments,
was enabled to communicate it directly to the G.,-
oernment of tbit island; and British generosity, set-
ting aside formalit;es in a case of so much importance,
true to her principles, saw in ours, all that could be
desired by a nation inseparable ft (:m Spain, and anti-
cipated the arrival of our Commissary, Don Juan Ed-
wards, with all the cordiality and dignity of friendship
and union, and without the ostentatious appearance
of diplomatic superfluity (when reciprocal interests
have pronounced on the political relations of nations)

CIRCULAR LETTER OF THE VICEROY OF BUENOS AYRES.

,6 In consequence of the distressing situation to
which this capital was reduced between the 2uth and
25th of the present month, by the melancholy news of
the state of the Metropolis, at the end of February,
brought by an English vessel from Gibraltar, I have
resolved to resign my authority and carried that de-
termination into effect yesterday, being willing to
comply with the manifest design of the people, as ex-
plained to me by the most Excellent Cabildo, as well
as by the Deputies employed for that purpose, con-
vinced that this was the only expedient to avoid the
most serious disorders and calamities. The audio.
rity so surrendered, has been re-assumed by a Junta
of Government, the President of which is Lieutenant
Colonel D. Cornelio de Saavedra, and I hope, that
front his acknowledged patriotism, and that of those
under his command, that the fidelity of these domi-
nions will be preserved to their legitimate proprietor,
our beloved Sovereign Ferdinand Seventh ; and I
hope that they will attain the great ends of Govern-
ment, order, subordination, and unanimity ; and that
proper Deputies, duly authorised and invested with
suitable powers, will assemble in a General Congress
to determine what shall be done in such weighty mat-
ters. GOD preserve you, &c. ( Sigbned)

ADDRESS OF TIIE PROVISIONAL JUNTA OF TIIE CAPITAL

or BUENOS AYRES.
" The fate of war in the Peninsula has given a
wider extent to the hostility of France, until her le-
gions have approached the walls of Cadiz, and have
dispersed the Assembly representing the Sovereignty
of Ferdinand Seventh, the Members of which are ac-
cused of nialversation and treachery. However, tin-
der these circumstances, these Members have without
authority appointed a Regency, which none can con-
sider as a concentration of the national unity, and the
stable depository of the power of the Monarchy. It
is not necessary to direct your attention to the parti-
cular period or circumstances of -these misfortunes ;
it is enough to say, that partly by the successful efforts
of the invaders, and partly by the irregularity of the
established Government, which was incapable of en-
forcing order and producing security, suer have been
the effects, and it has become necessary that America
should attend to her own critical situation ."

The Instrument then proceeds to argue upon the
subsisting relations with Europe, to state the transac-
tions which have already taken place, and refers to
some documents which we have before submitted to
the public. It then proceeds as follows :
Yesterday the Junta was installed, in a way that
has laid the foundation on which is to be erected the
great work for the preservation of these dominions
to our Sovereign Ferdinand the Seventh ; and it is
hoped, that as soon as possible, pursuant to the recom-
mendation of the late Viceroy, Deputies will be ap-
pointed to come to this capital for the important pur-
poses expressed in the Act of Installation.
'f It is expected that the steps now taken, whatever
may become of the Ikninsala, will prevent in the Vi-
ceroyalty of Buenos Ayres those serious embarrass-
ments which must have resulted from the want of a
legitimate representation of the Sovereign Authority
in the Kingdom of Spain, overrun by its enemies.
" Believe us, that this Junta will apply its utmost
exertions for the preservation of order, and we trust
that our diligence will be discovered in its effects.—
Under such intentions the people have proposed to the
most Excellent Cabildo, to prepare an expedition,
consisting of 500 men, to be employed in the interior
to prevent disorganization, fearful, that without such
means the free and honourable Election of the Depu-
ties will not be accomplished according to Article 10,
of the Pi oclamation, which, with Article 11, this
Junta is ehdeavouring rigidly to enforce.
"It is ;lso fit you should understand that the
Deputies so appointed will be progressively incorpo-
rated with this Junta, according to the time of their
arrival in the capital, that their confidence in the pub-
lic authorities may be secured for the better service
of his Majesty, and the better Government of the
people, preparatory to the formation of a General
Junta, to deliberate on the solemn affairs of state.—
Each city or town of the provinces is to send one De-
puty, and as expeditiously as possible, that foreign
ambition may not meet us unprovided io resist it, and
that our Sovereign may not be deprived of those legi.

of the inhabitants of Vinezuela, it is as much my inclination to
protect, in order to draw closer the bonds that unite us. By

CHARLESTON, JULY 2.

Intelligence has reached Russclville (K.), that the
province of West Florida will in less than two months
throw themselves under the protection of the United
States, if it is consistent for them to be received—if
not, under the Government of Mexico. Consulta-
tions are daily holding with the Governor at Baton
Rouge ; none of the inhabitants are now afraid to
approach him with propositions. They all equally
despise Bonaparte, since they find he has possession
of Spain.

The private letters brought by the Walsingham
packtt are, from Oporto to the 2d and from Lisbon
to the 6th inst. From some of them it appears pretty
evident that the advance of the enemy has excited
some alarm among the inhabitants. At Lisbon some
of the merchants and people of property were taking
precautions for the security of their persons and pro-
perty in the event of the enemy again occupying that
city. At Oporto similar apprehensions are entertain-
ed, and the writers of some of the letters mention
that they had shipped •off their property, and that
they themselves were ready to embark at an hour's
notice. It was imagined that the French would reach
the mouth of the Douro in the short interval of a week.

Some of the letters asseit that the enemy was ad-
vancing under JUNOT by the way of 't'ralos Montes ;
that there is no force there to defend it; and that
General TRANT was gone to Almego to take the
command of 1500 militia in that vicinity.
The letters, as might be expected, differ much re.
specting the grounds of this apprehension. The vast
superiority of the enemy created in some persons a
very natural dread of the result of a general engage-
ment; while the uncommon strength of the position
occupied by the allied army, added to the skill and
bravery of its leaders, inspired others with the most
perfect confidence as to the issue. The communica-
tion between the army and the capital. as far as reb
spected private correspondenee, we understand, was
subject to great restraint : indeed almost to total pro-
hibition. Officers were not restricted from writing
to their friends in England ; but Lord WELLINGTON,
:t is said, disapproves of transmitting information or
opinions on military matters to Lisbon, which must
of course become public there, and possibly reach the
enemy in a few days after. Whoever has considered
the uncommon address and activity of the enemy, par-
ticularly where intelligence is to be sought, will not
be inclined to condemn the British Commander for
his caution.

Other letters are however less desponding, and
even speak with confidence of the eff-ctual protection
which may be expected from the British army, which
is certainly in a state of high discipline and vigorous
health. We subjoin some extracts from private let-
ters : the first, containing a detail of the retreat of our
army is
