SO much upon the use that is made of what
ever advantages it may possess. Spain un-
doubtedly gains by the loss Of colony

whole population OF that quarter is said to
be under 40, 900. The exports are limited

The army OF IC 900 men will. however,
soon make an inroad upon this treasure. as
the Spanish quarter is extremely impo,er-
shed."

ORDER OF THE DAY.

Our compatriots in the territory former
ly subject to Spain, having perceived their
true interests, have addressed to me their
adhesion to the laws Of the republic, and
claiming the sacred rights of prote ction--
upon which they may count with conf
dence. Men, wise and experienced, are
placed a. the head of force which may
be necessary to maintain order, and about
to enter that territory. During the march
of the troops, should any of those evil
disposed persons, who. under an affected
zeal for the public service, be guilty of
depredations, or other acts injurious 10
the military character, it is declared here
by that every individual who shall be
guilty of any act of pillage, whoever that
person may be, he shall be delivered for
trial on the field to a military commission
and tried, and il condemned, punished
with death as traitor.
The execution Of these orders so impor-
tant to the public, is committed 10 the ge-
nerals and other superior officers, upon
their personal responsibility who shall
hold command within the said territory.
Given at the national palace at Port au
Primo, 18th Jan. l622-year Is.
