SOUTH AMERICA.

Capt. BURNS of the fast sailing schr. Mi.
das. in fourteen days from Santa Martha.
states that the day before he sailed, an
express arrived from Rio-de-la- Hache
with the positive information that the Spa
nish General Morales had landed near Ma.
racsibo with about 500 men, and advan-
ced TO wards that city-he took possession
OF the strong position of Sinamacia, within
the territory of the Independent Indians,
where he expected TO be joined by the
Cahoras Indians, in this however, ne was
pointed-Gomez, their leader, not
being bile to engage them in new war
with the Patriots. II is said that m an as
sembly OF their Chiefs, he was fired upon,
severely wounded, and with difficulty es'
capped, with few ofhis adherenis, to the
camp OF Morales. The most effective mea-
sures have been taken by the Patriots to
entrap this remnan. of the Spanish forces
in The net into which their desperate lea
der has SO OPPORTUNITY placed them; anc
such was the confidence OF the Patriot OF
6cers at Santa Martha, that bets were
made that Morales would be taken.
FROM QUITO.
The most satisfactory accounts are dali
" arriving. Bolivar is at GuayaquiI,
where he was received with the greatest
rejoicing, and the whole OF that Province
has joined Colombia-peace, tranquility,
and safety, are every where established !;
and even the notorious DR.. Ximenes, B'sh-
op of Popayan, who lately hadbeen at the
head OF Pastusas, the most faithful adhe-
rent OF Spain, and of course the most in
veterate enemy of the Patriots, has joined
the cause of the Independents, declaring
to his flock that Heaven hal determined
in favor OF American Liberty. The conn
try is overstocked with goods, particularly
dry goods; and country produce high and
scarce.

Although great deal has been said respec-
ting the last will which Napoleon made before
his decease, at the Island of ST. Helena, its
contents do not appear to be yet entirely known

that among the distinguished individuals upon
whom he has conferred marks of greatful re-
collection, in his last moments, is found the
name of Count REAL, whom we may, with
out improperly, call our fellow citizen) and
who now lives in modest retirement at Cape st.
Vincent, in Jefferson county, 1t appears that
the late Emperor has left him legacy of l00.-
900 francs, as testimony of his sense OF his
important services in the various high situa-
tons he has filled, and particularly for his Ia
bors in the preparation of that immortal code

as legislator, to the remotest postefity, and

must be a consolation to the exile who has
found an asylum in our happy country, and
who is so advantageously known to many of us,
not less by his extensive and various attain
ments than bv the virtues of his character, to
find himself thus remembered by the great man

TO MISS A. p. M .

If my name and my fate analogous be,
Let the willow Alicia remind thee OF me;
When thou see st Its dark branches mourniully
wave
Oh star Of my youth, wilt thou weep DER my
grave
What though forever bend at thy shrine,
Shall but live in remembrance oil thee
Shall not with rapture clasp thee as mine
Meier shall that form be encircIed by me
No! no! my Alicia though Heaven should send
The flame Of my youth TO revive at thy cath,
never could zen fot moment Intend
TO unite thy fair form to the shadow oil death
This heart that so often has beat at thy name,
Shall cease when my soul bits resting place dies
And the fire that consumed me-the long
snothered flame,
BE quenched in the grave where the wan.
derer lies.
Alicia farewell my soul is unfured;
We part but we part only for time
Tho severed by fate in this cold. gloomy world,
Wen meetin realm where loves not crime
Then stranger canst thou wonder now,
That paleness should o'erspread my brow!
! Ii my warm Chez rose doth wear,
Mark-lis the blossom of despair.
There is charm that misery knows
Which warns fes current as il flows;
| A spark that Earth cannot control,
The meteor Rainbow OF the SOUL
| Tis this Alicia soothes my breast,
And bids my weary soul live OH,
| That bids my troubled passions rest,
Though love and hope and Joy are flown.
