before he sailed, severe shock OF an Earth
quake wos felt at that pi,ce. The two armies
remained in sraru quo. The British were dairy
receiving reintorccments, and $4,000 more
were hourly expected. The British were ac-

ly authorized, make known to all whom it may
concern that in the general and extraordinary
Cortes assembled in the Royal Island of Leon,

The general and extraordinary Cortes, con-
Arm and sanction the indisputable opinion chat the
Spanish domnons in both hemispheres form but
one and the same monarchy, one and the same
nation, and but one family and that for the same
reason, the natives of said dominions, either Eu-
ropean or Ultramarine, are equal in rights 10

deliberate on more convenient occasion, on E.
very thing which may conduce to the welfare of
those citizens beyond the seas and likewise to
treat of the share both hemispheres are to have
in the national representation, The Cortes like
wise ordaiD, that soon those Ultramarine
provinces which have evinced spirit ofinsubor-

acknowledgement to the legitimate sovereign au
thority established in the mother country, shall
receive general pardon, and all that has passed
shall be buried in oblivion. The foregoing or

PoTosI, June 81
The peninsula overrun, and the government
OF the central junta at an end, it was high time
that America should proceed in the formation of
government. by calling together Congress of
the different towns, by means of their different
repres ensatives. For that purpose the jun,a es-
tablished in the capital, of which your excellen.
lensy is the worthy President, commenced its la
bors.
" The moment the inhabitants of this town
read the ten articles contained in the plan, and
the other public documents received from the
capital, possessed ofthat noble enthusiasm which
reciprocal welfare inspires, seeing that between
the European Spaniards and the Americans, an
tipathy WAS extinguished, from that moment they
reckoned upon the happiness of their country,
founded, as it would be, upon the supreme laws
OF the country
But, how lamentably! AS in this miserable
life, corruption and vice exist in continual war;
fare with virtue and good intentions, SO in this in
stance, have they attempted to stfe, by artifici-
al means. the wishes of the capital, by factions
and parties uniting to oppose the election of a
body of national representatives, as your excel
lency viii perceive by the annexed paper.
The remedy must be applied before the evil
gets too fast root, and your junta composed of
men of such virtue and talent, cannot want the
means of carrying into execution the first article
OF the plan This town, oppressed and deprived
of its most sacred rights. expects that you will
carry into perfection the grand work we have
commenced, and it will raise its voice to the
King of Kings to inspire such worthy patriots
in the accomplishment of lsbors so nobly com
menced. Your excellency will perceive that 1
have been forced to use fictitious name, lest a
numerous family should fall victims to arrogance

them the approach of the expedition to the inte-

notwithstanding the arrival of the public news
papers, which breathe nothing but sentiments of
the purest fraternity and UNION, from which it is
to be hoped that the inhabitants OF this town will
receive no i'll treatment from those coming from
the capital and, on the other hand, the dread
and CONSERVATION which have seized the public
mind at the near approach of the army, which
has also been augmented by the absence of the
governor, the n.endant, and the bishop of the

absolutely necessary, for the maintenance OF pub
