SITAACT OF A LETTER FROM RIO DR LA MACRE, OF TIM

_
26111 or NAT.
On the 17th, Colonel Mantello retreated withlsis forces
to Itio de la Bache. On the evening of the 19th, the
Spaniards, o► ltoyalists made their appearance in the
bushes ; and on the morning of the 19th made an attack.
The Creoles were fired, but the lst Brigade marched
out, and the Royalists made a stand only for a short time.
being soon beaten and obliged to retreat with grearloss.
The Royalist force nas 13,00; and the Patriots 500.
The Royalists then encamped three miles from Rio de la
Ilaelte, and on the following morning all the Independ-
ent forces, about 700, with 3 pieces of artillery, sallied
oat, attacked, and completely defeated them, with great
loss. The roads after the retreat, were covered with the
dead. The Patriots had about 50 wounded.
Qnchcc Papers are arrived to the 17th of Jane, bat
they de not contain any news.

The rapid and orderly manner in which the Reno.
Intion at Naples was effected, has made the abetters

of &mr ministerial measures " grin horribly a

smile," It lull ir.esi fine, say they, at present. The
people seem to bare urged and joined the soldiers, and
they all caret, from the l'oastitutioa they demand,
emancipation from their grievances and enrrease of
enjoyments ; but they are nothing more than dupes.
'1 hey are only made the instruments of party and in-
trigue. The whole is the work of Men AT'd friends—
an emanation uta revolutionary spirit that is under-
mining all the systems of the Continent, and that
would enter into England itself were it not for the
protection of the Alien Art. Short-sighted politiviacP,

whence the change has colonel—A spirit is indeod abroad
among the people of the Continent, sod it is and must '
be in every place where oppression is felt, and know-I
ledge has prevailed ; a spirit of ietelligence to discern
their rights, and of determination to assert them. Ts
represent this spirit as the work of faction is absurd.
It is the work of teases; and if it is to be contsouled
and regulated, it muit be treated in a reasonable man-
ner. Purer, ns!ce brutal force, aannet,presail against

and the coercion or the cajoling of the military only
tend to quicken their perceptions and their feelings,

We beg to direct the at:eution of nur readers t(,
corn spondence of the Alembers of the comity of Tor:,
and that of one of the Members fur Newcast!e-upt•t-
livne, which they will find in our paper of to-liat
the snbjert of addresses to the (let:ex.. Front tl.e
letters that passed on those occasions, and from tl.e
accounts which will be also seen of the conduct of
Mayors of Canterbury and Rochester. it will be per-
ceived that the courtly efforts made to repress floes.
pression of the sentiments of the people, relative to tIK
perseenti,w of her NIAJErvi, are strenuous and gestr.4
through the country. It will, however. be fund at.
the same time, that all those efforts have been hilliers
made in ratio.

The dispatches a Loris Cochrane, which Tr* err
at length in another of our columns, on his iiptare of
the important Port of Valdivia, will be read br !Le
friends of South American Independence with h;gh
satisfaction. According to private letters which were
received in town on Saturday, from his Lordship. the

services he has rendered to his adopted country had
been duly appreciated, and the government had made
him • present of 40,000 acres of valuable land. fa

towards the emancipation of this vast Continent, and
that bothing remains to be done, but the eglipbent
of the expedition to Pere, in which 1 am incessantly
engaged. It will sail, I think, in about a fortnight:

Every thing betokens a crisis in the great Europa
Commonwealth. In Spain, Italy, liermary, Prune,
the principles of liberty and reform are visibly array-
ing themselves for a final struggle with the principles
of established abuse and hereditary despotism. The
struggle may be long or of short duration ; the ulti-
mate result it is not in our power yet to forme:
but mighty changes are evidently preparine. The
',temples of Spain and Naples might warrant the pre.
diction that ere a few years have passed, peat alters-
tions must have taken place in the governments of
Europe, and the rights of European stations hen es-
tablished on a durable basis. Half a century can't
pass away in growing discontents on the part of the
people, and increasing fears and precautions on that
of their rulers. Fear or reason must at last decide
the question. Fortunately for humanity, and ttrertre.
al
serration of the bonds and interests of stet , the
great change from degrading thraldom to Mal
freedom, has been effected in Spain and a part l
without a sanguinary convulsion. Reason has Mime-
ed over the darkest ignorance, and power has gin
way to opinion. Who can be so indifferent tote
well-being of the human race as not to rejoin tie&
unavoidable change which has broke the fetters dm
Cons, should have taken this bloodless eompireiutt
None but those who blindly oppose the overwhelming
power of fate, the progress of human knowledge, aid
the rights and duties of nations. Even the tassel
by which despotism formerly bound men to the wise-
'nee of wrongs, and could make them the instruments
of crimes is broken. The arms of the tyrants are tuna
against themselves, because mankind have sating
enough from the unfeeling attempting of imp&
arrogance. The patriotism and humanity of duo
Neapolitan and Spanish armies, will be burled inn
to the latest posterity in the history of their respective
counties, and sung in songs of praise by their AG-
dren's children, from generation to generation. What
would have become of their easatries had nut remit'
guided their arms in the late *vents 2 What have
become of the reigning authorities had the new enka
