RXTF-Nr AND POPULATION OF AMERICA.
--weim--
The fallowing estimate o the extent, in square leaguer,.
and.popolation, of the Continent of America in IFI2, was
lately transmitted by Baron de Humboldt from Paris, to
President Bolivar, with CAI accompanying letter :

" The shove 'defaces haie been calculated with great
4:are,om maps rectified by astronomical observations. The
calculations have been several .times repeated by M. Ma-
thieu, Member of the Board of Longitude and of the I osti
tute as well as by myself. The results differ from thou
published in FAO, In the Political Essay on Mexico. Then
the inhabited parts a'one had been calculated. without
including the desert regions, over which the independent
tribes of the indigenous inhabitants wander. Now the
whole extent of each country, toils furthest limits, has been
measured.
1.1 The popniation of the different parts of ciderant Spa-
nish America is very uncertain, neverthelias each portion
bas hero calculated acetuding to the West data which have
reached nu. The present estimate ought to be considered
ill the Bute as all my other works on diTlefiell; they
are no other than essays, in Ada- every thing will have to
be done over again. Statistical calculations ran only be
rendered perfect by degrees, in like mailer as the elements
of meteorological and astronomical tables.
COMPARPSON.—Spain contains 16,091 stinare leagues—
Europe•contains 301,710 square leagues—and is. whole of
: : •
Southern America 581,691 square lugues.

,rand of Rear Admiral Dupeme, were preparing to effect a
landing. The equipage of bridges, fur the passage of the
troop, who were to penetrate into the Island of Leon by
the mouth of the river Sand Petri, was also united. All
the batteries established on the land side as well on the
point before the bridge of Zuasa, and at the Trocadero,
were entirely finished. Already .his Royal Highness was
at Chiclana, and the orders for the attack were given.—
Nothing but the last signal was wanting, when the enemy
persuaded they could not resist our united efforts and the ar
dour of our troops, sought in their captive King a refuge from
the disasters which awaited them. All power was restored
to his Catholic Majesty. One of his officers was the bearer
to his Royal Highness of the letter, by which, the King
announced to him his approaching arrival to the Head
Quarters of the Army.
On the Ist Oct. the King and Queen accompanied by the
I'rince and the Royal Family embarked at Cadiz amidst the
roaring of artillery of that city, and along the coast, and
in fine w•allier, they arrived at Port Saint Mary's at half
past 11 o'clock, where they were received by his Royal
Highness amidst the n hole of his staff, and a party of his
troops, who all testified the greatest satisfaction, regretting
that they heal no more an enemy to fight. According to the
ordevrof Ms Catholic Majesty, the principal posts of the
Island of Leon and Cadiz were given over to the French
troops, and the Spanish troops put themselves on their
march for the cantonments assigned them.

On the 4th. we occupied the whole of the Island. The
same day the Squadron entered the Bay, and landed the
troops which were on board. During these remarkable
e►ents which took place before Cadiz, the troops of •the
3rd and sth corps of the army, obtained on their part the
fruits of their alone. The place of Santoneoras occupied
the 28th by a witulatitin, concluded on t`.l]6. In it
were found ISt) pieces of cannon, and 10,0I1U muskets. St.
Sebastian, which a part of the troops from Pampeluna, h.id
marched to assist. surrendered to General Iticard, who
occupied it on the 3d of October. On the at rival of his
Catholic Majesty, be diletebed orders that all the places
which still held out, should be gi►en o►er to the Royalist
Arety, or to the French Corps, who were to take pos.
session of them in his none. The Go►ernors of these

, The precious piece of legitimacy, the King of Spain, is
i determined to write himself down ass, as well as villain.—
Decrees are the order of the Jay ; and, to make up for the
restraint which his recent ennfinemnent had impose 1 upon
his iaclinations for law-making, it seems we are to have a
decree daily. Like a madman escaped from his keepers, he
,is capevieg about in an eestacy of frantic delight. His first
Aimee, deimuncing the Constitution, and the Unites, and
retracting all that he bad before said in praise of both,
she wed biro in the light of a despicable-coward, and con-
temptible hypocrite. If the constitution deserved a
tythe of the abuse which he now levels at it,
he must be the basest of all „ ivretches •to have
been for years tbe nnaeth piece of its merits. Perjury,
however, or any other we were prepared to expect.
We recollect Isis murderous treatment of those who saved
his kingdom for him; and time wretch whom gratitude
cannot teach, is beyond all other restraint. But some
pers,mnihave•said, recently, that he was not the dolt the
world supposed him to be; and, certainly, we did net
think him so gross an iJeot, as his second decree proclaims
him. We are seriously informed, by a royal decree, that
" his Majesty ordains that on his journey to his capital,
" no individual who during the existence of the system
" styled constitutional, bus been a deputy to the
" Cones in the two last 'Legislative Sittings.
shall present himself, or be within five leagues
" of the route to Madrid!" That is, that these persons
are not to be within fifteen miles of a line of road, consisting
of some hundreds of miles. Who is to see that this decree
is carried into execution? This decref goes still further.
None of the persons aimed at are to approach' within fifteen
leagues of the Capital fur eucr! The King may well be
alarmed at the face of a man ; lest some dagger should
teach him that his divine rights to torment a nation, arc
aot•proof against the indignation which his crimes excited
This is the very course, which, for his own destruction, it
world be isdrisealde for him to persne. Let him wield the sword
of persecutive with an unsparing hand. Let bins continually
blow the embers of resistance into a flame. Let him pre-
scribe all wh% would render his conduct respectable by their
sanction. . Let him Mint down all who could mitigate
the horrors of his government ; and mew himself up in
he midst of ;laves, of sycophants, of foois, and formign
