SOUTH AMERICA.

Intelligence from South America every day es-
oemes a deeper interest. Sir Gregor M'Greger
(who carries out strong reinforcements to New Gra-
nada) bas now reached that cavalry, as well as Lord
Cochrane; and as several transports with veteran
British officers earl mew have also arrived, it is pre.
bible that the long-promieed expeditiou front Spain
will find the remmet of Morillo's force absolutely
annihilated era its arrival, and consequently a more
hopeless war to wage than could hitherto hare been
imagined. It seems highly probable that the feeble
Spanish fetes will speedily be swept from the shores
of the l'acific and from the Western Provinces, and
that if this Spanish espeditiun, more fortunate thee
the one which preceded, should ever reach the At-
lantic shores of America, it will find the Independest
armies there concentrated before it, proud of former
triumphs and prepared for new ones.
The following it on interesting extract of a letter
from Kingston, Jsmeice, dated 7th of February,
which throws mach light on the preparations now
mating for this contest—a contest ulsiek would ivies.
'portant under ano rircumstances, but which itren-
dered especially in by so many of our conntrynses
being now engaged in it :
" By a sch from Aux Cayes we are lamm-
ed, that General Al•Greanr arrived at that port on
the •:Ith of January, with two ships of war and
some armed transports, composing part of the traps-
dition which was destined to ski the Patriots of New
Granada. This lotelligence caused such alarm among
the merchants of this place, that they immediately
applied to Sir Home Popham for protection to their
interests on the Spanish coast, sad the Admiral re-
plied, that he would give all the protection compatible
with his order+. which were to maintain au entire
neutrality. Ile consequently dispatched a ship of
war (the Iphigenia) to observe the movements of
General M•Greger. who hourly expected the arrival
at Am Cayes of a Depety from New Grenada, who
left that place en the 18th of the preceding month.
" The Captain of the ship from Ass Cayes, says,
that the I which conveyed the Deputy, entered
that harbour at the moment of his leaving it. The
point to which the espeditinn was destined, he had
not been able accurately In ascertain, in VR1144,001
of the profound silence which was maintained on the
subject. Some thought that it would he directed
spinal the Isthmus of Panama ; but the most probe.
bible opinion was, that it would go to Santa Mirth',
as from that province it would be easy for Mae
Gregor to proceed by land to Omni, and thence to
continue Ms match sitheet opposition to Pamplona,
or some other province of the interior, in order to
place himself in communication with the Patriot
General Santamler, who, according to the latest in-
telligence brought us by those who have arrived from
New Granada, bid under his command three thee-
send infantry and two thousand cavalry.
" The consternation of the Spaniards throughout
New Granada was immense, independently of the
arrival of M'Gr►gor's espeditinn, in consequence of
the bad state of their C 1111%! in Pero, and the increase
of the Patriot force in the Dams of Canine's.—
What hope can they now have of preserving that
country, holding as they do all the points of theceest
undefended, and its inhabitants at the same lime
exasperated by their cruelties and opressiosis? A.-
cording to the information which we bare of thedis-
position of the People, it is probable that the mere
announcement of the arrival of the espeditiou at
fax Cayes will recite them to commence the work
of liberty. Gen. Al•Grrgnr, we ate assured, would
not delay at Asa Cars Inniger than was necessary
for conferring and determining epos the plan of lye-
tenons with the Deputy from Now Granada, mid
for the arrival of the other ',stele. _ .

how the parties can avoid a shock. The tribune, as it
