THE NEW WORLD.

II will be seen by the accounts in our pa-
per Of Monday last, from different parts OF
South America, that the great cause ofration.
al LIBERTY is rapidly progressing in those
delightful regions. The mass Of The popn-
lasion of Europe, although, compared with
the citizens Of this happy Republic, en,elop-
cd 10 tho deepest ignorance, are sufficiently
well-infor med to know that AMERIcA 10 tho
chosen region of liberty, independence and
happiness; and that her citizens, while in tho
full enjoyment OF these inestimable blessings,
offer them, with liberal hand, TO Me eftrcs-
sed Of oN nosions. II 10 not wonderful, there.
fore, ,thatthe soldiers despatched by regal ~.
rants 10 riyet the shackles of slavery on their
fellow men, should recoil from service SO
derogatory, and instead Of attempting to i'm.
pede their progress, should 60. over 10 their
cause. Hence the deser,ions from the Brit
ish service at Plattsburgb, at New.Orieans,
along the banks OF the Chesapeake, and
wherever their soldiers or sailors could set
foot upon our shores. Nor is it confined 10
the United States alone. The moment the
Spanish Portuguese provinces in Souths
America shake of their fetters and declare
for ISpEYEaDEEcE, z, that moment the sympa.
thies Of the better part Of their European
brethren arc enlisted in their favor, and thar
moment do they refuse 10 aid the efforts OF
their tyrants 10 ex,isguish the holy Fame Of
liberty. The news from Cadis in our paper
Of Monday, ststing the reluctance with which
the royal troops embarked against the ps,ri-
OTIS Of South America, and that probably half
Of them would join tho standard of indepen-
dcnee - soon ~ they should land, Is cosro-
borated from another quarter. May " tho
glorious work 60 on" until the standard of
freedom she'll wave triumphantly from oss
extreme Of the new world to the other. That
the Efforts Of tho Patriots Of South Amef;ea
will eventually bc successful, We have not the
smallest doubt. Their cause increases ie
strength with every increasing hour, while
that Of their oppressors feels as rapid de-
cline. Bos. Patriot.
