Of obtaining an object, would be both IN (
human pd.uniust. The whole question |
of American independence is comprised IN
those few words. Il
The first of any government. the United
States have procisined their wishes LOT
the successful issue OF the noble struggle
in which the Greeks are engaged they
have found in another hemisphere, seDtI-
ments which would have honored those
who are nearer 10 them, and owe perhaps,
greater debt of gratitude 10 their ances-
tors.
Whilst Europe is filed with declama
tons against the revolutions oil SPAN anu
Portugal, america sees only in those great
events, an improvement IN the condition
of part of the human race, 10 which her
own children belong she ieicitdles her
brothers on having acquired the blessings
of new and tree existence at cheaper
rate than she did herself. But the Con-
gress which now sits to decide on the tale
OF Spain, and judge its Institutions, will
not sit at Washington.

the Aristocracy is placed The President
says on this subjecl-''Il is evident that il
! any conyulsion takes place in that part OF

not among Us, as we have but one order
here--lbe order OF the people,"
Thus, in the opinion Of disinterested
| Judge; If Europe is again involved in war,
she will owe il TO the Aristocracy, Those
words OF the President refer 10 US the fun
damental difference between our situation
anG that Of America. There every thing
is plain before you; you build on soil
where you meet with no distractions nor
obstacles here you must both demolIsh
and build up at the same time. Your

Mr. SNowDEN,


By a note in the Herald of Friday last, the
Baltimore Patriot says, Alexandria Flour had
fallen INTO disrepute at Rio.-rhe remarks on
chat paragraph were that ''there must be some
thing rotten in Denmark, "-''and we hope
the subject will meet the attention of Congress,
at their next session." Now, should like to
know what Congress can do with the "rotten
things Of Denmark"-or how the trade or the
staple commodity of Alexandria, is directly or
indirectly concerned with the rotten things OF
"Denmark." fit IS expected that Congress,
by might of their wand can prevent nature

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.


The following is an extract of letter,
from an officer on board the U. States
schooner Dalphin, dated
M CALLAo, DEC, %.
You have perhaps heard before this
will reach YOU of the great earthquake
at Valparaiso, which occurred on the
l9th Of last month. Slight commissions
have continued almost daily from that
time to our last advices. Yesterday a
vessel arrived here from Valparaiso,
the captain OF which states that he fel,
severe shock while weighing his anchor,
and another after he was leagues from
the port. The American Consul and
family were living on board vessel at
Valparaiso. There has been for the
last two or three days, great rejoicings,
iiluminations, &c. at Lima, in conse-
quence of recent information from the
Patriot army at Africa. 1t is asserted
that a powerful Indian Chief has espous.
ed the patriotic cause; and Joined them
with 1000 Indians, bringing 200 head of
cattle and 100000. InfantryIand caval-s
ry have been going out from Lin,a in
small numbers for the last month. About
1000 of Bolivar's troops and considera-
BILE body of the militia remain in tho
city. The last accounts left the royal
troops in the valley of Summons, but
a short distance from the patriots. 1t is
thought the latter will not risk a gene
raj engagement until they receive suf-
ficient reinforcement to render victory
certain. This meeting Of the contend
ing armies will no doubt, if the patriots
are successful, put as end to the war in
Peru-Should it prove otherwise, which
is hardly probable, it may protract the
war for years.
We have in our hands file OF the
Argos of Bucnos Ayres, to the 10Th Of
Dec. II is stated in that Of the l4th,
that a Portuguese Corvett had arrived at
Moute Video with the sovereign decree
of the Courts Of Lisbon, denouncing as
traitors 10 the Portuguese crown all
persons who should obey the Prince at
Rio Janeiro, or any other government
established at Rio with the concurrence
of Portugal; and authorizing all faith

BAYoNNE, JAN. g.
Though the arrival of the Russian
Minister from Madrid yesterday, and
the report that those of Austria and
Prussia were about to quit that capital,
has renewed here the rumors OF war,
nothing appears yet to announce this;
for though there is collected here an
immense material, and large quantities
OF grain and forage, it is impossible to
undertake any thing at present with the
troops assembled on this frontier, their
number having been diminished by the
discharges which have been granted, and
which have reduced the division of
Count d'Antichamp to or 5000 men.
The Spanish emigrants of the Faith
spread various reports on the arrival of
new reinforceInents, and the approach
ing enterrrizs which will soon be under
taken in Spain; they boast of the aid Of
every kind afforded by NJ. Onyeard to
the army of the Faith, but we repeat it,
nothing seems to indicate an approach
ing invasion. A hostile plan is spoken
OF, tending to take possession of Pampe-
luna, ST. Sebastian, and Santona, where
considerable magazines would be estab-
lished but it might not be very easy to
seize on these three places. In short
the opinion of war with Spain is be-
come nearly general.
Mr.. Jackson, attached to the English
Ambassador at Madrid, arrived the day
before yesterday at Bayonne, in SO houas,
and proceeded Immediately for Paris,
He is said to be charged with an inn
portant mission. He left Madrid on the
l4th, where all was perfectly tranquil.
Sir w. Account continued to enjoy the
highest consideration at Madrid, and had
often very brilliant assemblies, at which
the most distinguished Spanish Mobility
and Diplomatic characters were observe

Mr. Jackson met, on the 10th in the
morning, al Victoria, Lord F. Somerset,
Fastening likewise with an important

dable and warlike attitude, and without

stored there, and that the factions who
appeared before it on, the 5th had gone
to Boria and Tarragona, which they had
taken possession OF, doubtless with the
intention o! passing the Ebro at Tudela,
to enter Navarro. General Velasco, with
part of the troops besieging Mequinen-
"a, set out from Fraya on the 10th for
Saragossa, doubtless with the intentions
of pursuing the troops Of Besseres,
