BuENos AYREs, .asrI %, 1919.
An important advantage obtained by the
EoysGsts in Mexico, has induced the Span
ish Ambassador resident at Paris, To assert,
that By the month of November oil the pres
ent year, the whole OF South America would
voluntarily return 10 its ancient yoke, and
II appears by the English papers that his
excellency has been congratulated upon
this approaching event. When, however,
he is made acquainted with the result OF the
battle Of Maypu, he will probably feel the
necessity ofpOStpOning for short time the
completion Of his prediction and the
whole world, including that portion which
has been most deceived by the receptions
of the cour, Of Madrid, cannot but he cou-
vinced of the impossibility OF the Americans
rrceding one io!a from their professions
and oalhs. :,
If in the midst of the confusion created
by the total arrangement OF al! those prin-.
ciples which serve as the foundation OF
States, our enemies have not been able to
arrest The career ct our glorious struggle,
during the continuance otwhich for a period
of 8 wears, the public mind has been 10 m

We have no hesitation in contesSng, that

nary efforts would have been required To
recover from the shock which 1t would have

ience which has heretofore enabled Us to
bear up against misfortune, that our enemies
would have had greater cause To ie'r Us, as
we should have risen IN proportion 10 our
rnisiortuneS. We have been accustomed
10 suffer severe diSapPoinimenls at t6e very
moment when one more successful euor'
would have crowned all our hopes. Here,
tolore all our triumphS have been preceded
by defeats which have placed our liberty
in the most imminent danger. The vlc'o-
~ Of Maypu is peculiarly distinguished IN
this point of vicw-lt enabled Us 10 deprive
the Spaniards even OF hope-it enabled Us
10 prove that we know how 10 make use OF
prosperity, and that with common and he
rcirk efforts we have been able To defeat
the desperate efforts ofour enemies. such
were the sentiments OF every Patriot at
tue moment OF receiving the important NJ
teligenca OF the complete destruction OF The
army OF Peru upon the plains OF MayPu.
These who were not witnesses oi our Tran

ORsTINATE CONFLICT !!

The following article, fsays late Liver
pool paper,l dated Faro, June l2, was recelv-
ed by the last Lisbon mail -" An Algerine
corsair, full of men, was lately sunk of Cape
St. Vincents. by two Portuguese men Of war,
after most desperate and bloody conflict Of
nine glasses, wherein vast numbers were xii
led on both sides The rover maintained the
action with great 6rmness, and such undaun
ted resolution, that at one time it was doubt
full whether she would not have beat them
both off, Notwithstanding the superior odds
against her. The Portuguese behaved man
fully, and offered TO give quarters, provided
they would strike, which generous and hu-
name offer the pirates did, with horrid impre-
cations, disdainfully refuse; and so revenge
full were the inidels to the last, that they fired
grape and partridge shot from the deck, and
small arms out of the tops into the men of war
as they were going down, which did deal
of mischief amongst the Portuguese. Both
the ships were severely shattered-one had
several shots between wind and water, which
made her very leaky, and heI sails and rig
ging almost cut TO pieces-the other had hei
foremost and bowsprit carried away, with
part of her starboerd bow and a large shot
went IS inches in her mainmast. II is thought
the pirates had expended all their cannon
balls, eas in The latter part of the engagements
they fired from their great guns, marlin
spikes, ringbolts, rusty nails, bits OF iron, and
lead cut into square pieces"
