We subjoin a letter from an Officer in the Legion
of Albien (Eteom's Corps). The writer was in the
campaign which terin'ire tell Po giorioutely for Bolivar;
sod he gives an attics. tv,rl faithful pietas* f his
sufferings and success. It was not necessary to have
this document tO prove the generosity of Bolivar's
ch greeter, which has been recently traduced in a con-
fer!•p ear}- print : but it is autifectory to know. that
air excellent man his Fiero another proof of his in-

The hope that an inquiry would be instituted to
ascertain the reel character and conduct of Eau aims
during the late treasonablc transactions, ii, we regret
to say, growing fainter every hour. 'I he informer,
if nut the seducer, has found an ally in a quarter in
which we Ittle supposed he would be likely to meet
with suppurt. Armed with important information,
skilfully and industriously collected on this most iii•
portati of all subjects, Mr. Alderman WOOD intro-.
dated lt last night info the House of Commons, and
stated many charges against this man, the Last of
which, if fully substantiated, would establish a de-
gree of guilt far superior to that incurred by his 14te
accomplices or victims. For it would appear that
i EDWARCO had long been in the habit of instigating
the unwary, and perhaps the ill-disposed, we will not
I dispute the existence of many such, to the commis-
ilion of acts of treason and murder. With re ipeet to the
horrible cue more partimlarly in question, the Worthy
ii Alderman pledged himself, if the House allowed him,
I.' to prole that BoWeave was the sae plotter or
Gunder of the Cato-street car s2iroey : that, from a
1 state of the utmost poverty, he had become, all of a
sudden, possessed of property ; and the. he supplied

A fresh revolution has taken place at Buenos Ayres.
It wit occasioned by the entrance of the Monteneroe,
or Indian Mountaineers, commanded by tolonel Bas-
tes, who were previously joined by the forces under
General Belzarde. The Supreme Dartctur, Puerrey-
don, hating DU force sufficiently 71IltIlbtallS to render
opposition likely to be attended with success, fled from
the place, taking refuge vu hoard the American sloop
of war John Adams. It is Stated further, that the
Britis;, vessels of war on that station had approached
as near is possible to Buenos Ayres, to afford protec-
tion to British persons and property. A new Consti-
tution, termed Federal, had b,en formed, and all the
old Members of the Government displaced, and other
persons hail been nominated to disk barge their several
functions. General Bandeau, the Ez•birector, it will
be recoll:cted, had previeusly left Buenos Ayres.-to
oppose the urns)* ander General Attires. and it would
seem that he was incapacitated from affording assist-
ance to Buenos Ayres by the operations of Arttgas.
The following in sonic invesure tcntis to render the
authenticity of the above account very doubtful :

Ocean. and the residue for Indi a . "---laierestetaa Advertiser.)
Lord Cochrane has at length raised the blockade of
Callan, as appears by &deices which reached Loudon
yesterday from Olin, dated zu recently as the begin-
ning of January. It is stated, that he had taken this
• step in order that h. might attempt the capture of
some of the Spanish ships of war cruising in those
seas. When the accounts mint away, he was is active
puts.iit of the Praeba, 74, being one of the last sle:ps
which 'Ailed from Cache, in the slaw at last year, for
