SPANISH PAPERS.

MADRID, JUNE 1.
The Cadiz Papers contain various accounts from
South America. _ _ _

Accounts from Lima of the ?.Sth of December,
state, that 3500 troops had arrived at Upper Peru,
with the assistance of which reinforcement, it was
hoped that San Martin would be compelled to re-
embark, as his army had made itself detested by the
excesses which it committed, and commanded only
the ground it occupied.
The English frigate the Royal Sovereign arrived
at Cadiz on the 23d of May, from Plata and Rio de
Janeiro. The Supercargo says, that Lima was block-
aded by eleven vessels, and by land by 4500 or
5000 men under the command of San Martin, who
was in the Valley of Maure, 50 leagues from Lima ;
and that the Spanish army, composed of 10,000 men,
was partly in the City, and partly at Chancay, 14
leagues distant from it.
Merino has carried his atrocity to the greatest ex-
cess, having ordered the unfortunate soldiers of the
First Regiment of Catalonia to be shot, who fought
so bravely against him at Torduelos, till they were
obliged to surrender for want of ammunition. This
cruelty has excited general horror and indignation ;
and General Empecinado, on hearing of it, wrote
him a very angry letter, in which he says, that if
such scandalous assassinations are continued, the
wives, fathers, brothers, and relations of that wicked
band, shall suffer the same fate, as well as all those
who shall fall into his hands ; and that the death of
each true Spaniard shall be avenged by the death of
ten of their banditti.

The British Public being already apprised that a
strong Army of Observation has been recently col-

lected by Russia, on the frontiers of Turkey, they i
will not be astonished to learn, as the• next step in
the progress of events, that the distracted state of
affairs in the Turkish Empire, has furnished the Em-
peror ALEXANDER with that pretext for interference,
for which he was evidently only waiting, in order to
play the same part in the east of Europe which his
Imperial brother FRANCIS has been playing in the west.
According to accounts which are said to have been
received at the hotel of the Russian Embassy in Lon-
don, the Emperor of RUSSIA has, with the concur-
rence of Austria, determined on insisting that the
Turkish Government shall not only make repara-
tion for the outrages which have been perpetrated
at Constantinople against the Greeks, but give
some assurance or pledge that no such excesses
shall be repeated. The mode in which this satis-
faction may be obtained is said to be this—that
Russia will demand to become the protector of the
other Greek provinces, as she is already of Wallachia
and Moldavia ; that an immediate cessation of hosti-
lities between the Greeks and the Tusks is to be re-
quired, and a compact formed between them, which,
while it shall secure the allegiance of the former,
shall protect them against outrage and massacre.—
Another supposition is, that the cession of Wallachia
and Moldavia will be insisted on, either to Russia or
to Austria, or to those Powers in conjunction, in
order to afford an asylum to those Greeks who de-
cline to live any longer under the Turkish laws.
It is added, with great appearance of probability,
that, at all events, the,llican must listen to whatever
terms may be proposed. Russia has an army of

130,000 men on the frontiers of Turkey, which would
be powerfully reinforced by the Austrians; atd,
weakened as she is by the efforts to suppress the
Greek insurrection, has no alternative but subtuisioi
or a foreign invasion, to which there would exist ra
chance of resistance.

It is certainly gratifying to contemplate the pm
spect of a termination to the system of exterminating
warfare which has arisen between the Turts and
Greeks ; but it is extremely obvious, at the same
time, that the manner in which this is to be ac.
complished, must lead to consequences fatal to
the existing balance of power in Europe. We
agree perfectly with a Morning contemperatyp
that " the effect of this interference must be to throe,
the finest portion of Europe into the arms of Russia,
from whose grasp no Power will be afterwards able
to wrest it. If the Greeks are saved by AxExAY.
DER, and are to consider themselves as under Russiat
protection, Turkey in Europe is at an end, and
ALEXANDER is Lord of Constantinople. A notnind
Sovereignty may still be allowed to the Ottomans for
a few years, but Russia will all the while be strikkg
her roots in the country, and the hold which she'll
thus be enabled to take, will soon set hostility a
defiance. Ministers have clearly allowed themselep
to be duped by Russia. They are now placed iu a
most embarrassing situation. They cannot oppese
the interference of Russia ; for, if they did, all Europe
would cry out against them. Russia has artfuty
brought things to the pass that she can advance
perfect security to the accomplishment of her desigts,
No power can now save Till key from litr clutches.'

A Mail arrived this forenoon from Holland, wily
Papers to the 16th inst. The following are extracts:

HAARLEM, JUNE 15.

Accounts from Batavia, of the 24th Febrnary,han
been received. They bring a Decree of the Govern
in Council, the substance of which is, that on acorn
of the increasing prosperity of the Cblony, a new issue
of paper currency is become necessary, and it is at.
cordingly resolved to make such issue to the amonse
of one million of Indian florins. The Government's
convinced that this measure can have no prejudicial
effect, because the precautions taken by the Deere
of the 24th of January, 1817, have caused the Go-
vernment paper to retain its full value ; and dace is,
therefore, every reason to presume that a strict ad
faithful adherence to the same plan will keep up&
value of this new paper, the want of which is oak
felt, from the insufficiency of that already in circle
tion to answer the present state of the Commerce
of the Colony.
