NOTE TRANSMITTED ON THE 12TN JUNE LAST BY
THE UAIsINET- OF MADRID TO THE HIGH AC:
LIED I'O%VMM RELATIVE TO THE SITUATION

'

-I-

OF SOUTH Ai4E,ILICtI.
66 Since the period when melancholy events, by a
natural consequence, cotnmunicated td Spanish Ame.
rice the germ of Revolution, and caused deplorable
efforts to be openly made for the purriose of separat-
ing the subjects of that territory from their legitimate
Monarch, hi. Catholic Majesty has invariably regu-
lated his condoCt by the following, principles:—
•' Ist, To employ every means depending upon human wis-
dom. to lead back the deladed Into the paths of order and ohs- !
dieace, using for that purpose as much mildness and as little 1
rigour as powi,-le. i
•• ed. To seek in diplomatic relations political means of at- I
loioloC this object. The revolutionao atTranchisemesit of booth
America, or its return under legitimate doinioinn, present, in ,
point of policy, consideration nt fowl) weight that the eyes of 1
'Europe ought t i he tl v•ol upon 'conjuncture which may lead to
a new order of affairs in its political and commercial relations.
" 'rite united efforts of the principal European
Powers have already annihilated that disastrous sys-
tem which gave birth to the American R.evolution ; '
but it still remains for them to put down this system
in America itself, where its effects are of the most
serious nature.
" His Catholic Majesty never having lost sight of
" • '

the two principles above stated, and being always
animated by the desire of putting an end to the elfo:
sion of blood, sod to those devastations which are
the deplorable consequences of a war of this nature,
has only visited for an opportunity of calling the
attention of the High Allied Powers to an object
„which has several times formed the subject of Notes
that have been transtnitt.d to them, and recently of
negociations carded on in so amicable a manner with
his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of Great Bri-
tain.
'• The iusurrectiot at Pernambuco made a deep
impression upon his Cstholic Majesty ; and, at the
moment when he wished to recommend this event to
the attention of the Sovereigns, his Allies, it was
also necessary to demonstrate its direct relations with
the general interest.
" It has been with the greatest satisfaction that
his Majesty has received the answers of his High
Allies. They open a way for very important nego•
ciations, and maay lead the Powers to interfere in
the unfortunate state of circumstances in which Ame-
rica is placed, in order to employ all the means that
prudence and vigour suggest to being under subjeov
tine the revolted Province., and pet an end to the
immorality and political contagion arising from such'
a state of affairs.
" In ostler to give effect to ,the first measures so
happily commenced, his Majesty is of opinion, that
the moment is arrived when he is called upon to
make known, in a categorical and solemn manner,
to his High Allies, ttie principles which he has pre-
scribed to himself, to operate the good which he pro-
poses, and such as might be expected from Iris senti
ments of humanity.

" Referring, therefore, to the overtures which he
has already made, his Majesty now declares, that the
following are the points upon which Ile has infiesihly
determined :•
•‘ I.t. A GetterAl Amnesty for the Insurgents Immediately
upon their submission.
". 'id. Admission fur Americans of suit° lc endowments, to
alliances in common with European
'* Yd. Regulations for the commerce of diva- Province% with
Foreign Stales, fociiiled upon principles o' fn edam. and con-
formable to the present political situation of theve countries and
of Europe.
'• 4th. A sincere di%pos'tion. on the part of his Catholic Ma-
jesty, to give his Panciton to measure, a loch. in .he course
of the siegociation%., gamy he proposed to him by his High Allies.
awl which nmy be coinpmible with the maintenance of Wiliest/
mad his dignity.
" ilk Majesty ia, therefore, persuaded, that • DO-
thing Cali any longer oppnse the op.: ittg of nerds:
lions on the haat.% above tail{ down, and which, he is
convinced, are equally conformable to the 'WWI al-
ready manifested by his august Allies."

.•,
Yang AUGUST NI am Meeting has been
very fashionably, but not numerously attended. The
Moor Game Shooting would of course, prevent many
*Gentlemen from coming, who otherwise would have
been here. We understand it is arranged (with per-
mission of the Corporation) that its future the Races
will commence the Gat Monday in August, when a
better attendance is ezpected, as they will not, in
that case, interfere with the Grouse Shooters. The
course was in beautiful order; and many of the
races were contested in superior style. It is said by
the old sportsmen, that nothing has been seen at' ill
equal to Mr. WATT'S Illacklock, since the days of
Eclipse : he ran the four miles, on Wednesday, in
seven minutes, e 3 seconds, and won above 100 yards
herd held ; some of the horses bad not got to the
distance-post, till long after he had won. The Thea-
tre and Assembly (Looms have had their attractions;
at the former, that lively and judicious actress, Mos.
GA muck, has been much admired; and at the latter,
Mr. BRAMAN. at the U 416180011 of Mr. P. KRAPTON,
favoured this City, on Tuesday and 'fltursday even-
ings, with a specimen of his vocal powers.
SURREY THEATRE.—The New Comic Spectacle of
Red Ridipg Hood was repeated last night with ad•
ditiooal eclat, sod adds one more to the very nu-
merous list of successful pieces produced here since
Esser.—MeSSlS. HUNTLEY, GAITIE, FITZWILLIAN,
WATKINS, Mrs. URGER, Miss TAYLOR, and Mrs.
Batiorcs, were more than usually effective in their
efforts, and it is truly gratifying to see how gene.
rally and forcibly the seal of the Performers of the
Surrey distinguishes itself whenever they have op-
portunities of assisting the interests of the esta-
blishment.
FUNERAL DIRGE.—On Saturday nest a most
limn Funeral Dirge will be performed at the Spanish
Ambassador's Chapel, in Spanish-place, Manchester.
.square, on which occasion the Chapel will be hong
with black, and the ceremonies usual in Catholic
countries will be performed for the repose of the
soul of the (Lev. PareeGassooLeta, IMP One of the

River _Thames, near the (Mears Downs, when by
some mismanagement the boat wail overturned, and
the whole of them were precipitated into the water,

were observed: Some boats were instantly put out
by some expert .watermea, who rowed to the spot,
and succeeded in geting them oat of the water,qeite
exhausted. They were conveyed in the boats to a
public-house near the spot, where every assistance
was Aim) them; but all efforts were in vain to re-
store one of them, a lad, named James Hunter, being

In the night of Sunday, the 26th of July last, the
mills and manufactory, called the New Mills, Near
Witney, in the county of Orford, were de.tro)ed by

, wilfully and maliciouly set on fire, the Gazelle of
