The above Information concurs so ncura,c. /
~ with that of sn ~srlier date, aud ,ith the |
constitutional principles which are kpwn TO |
animate the Spanish chiefs, La Sierra and
Canferac, that we think il highly probble.-
These two chiefs are pledged To ,he cu,siiiu-
t'onal party, and II is said, that nearly all the
"fnce!s with them are in favor of III. same
principles. They may well be tired utlhe de-
soiaiing and frui!less war they have ben car
rying ON for so many years and perirps they
have nj last discovered, that it is therown in
terest, as much as that vi the people they are
among, TO become independent Of gov era
nient 50 detsstable as that Of Spain. If they
ever had such considerations, they mist have
acquired ieufold weight from learning the de-
monstrations lately made by Great Britain
nnd the United States; amounting, as they do
to an acknowledgment Of that Independence,
against which it would he inv ain for them any
longer TO contend.
Thus, abandoned by their own party in
Spain, and suspected by the serpiits, they
would be left without home, should the in
dependence OfPeru be achieved, in despite Of
their efforts. That these sentiments were pre-
valent in the r"yalist army in Peru, even be-
fOre we succoured that country, is very well
known and they cannot reasonably he sup
posed to have diminished since the events
which have occurred 10 CadiZ. II, indeed
these reiterated assurances of an armistice
having been csnchded without a general en-.
| gsgement, be- true, we want no better assurance
| OF the approaching independence Of PERU
The armistice which General Bolivar con.
cluded with Morillo, though more partial in
its cause and effect, was attended with the
happisst results. as was that made with
O'Donoj0u in Mexico. From the moment
The irritation and excitement of the war
ceased, the people and the officers Of the
| armies began-t to commune. with each other
TO comprehend more dispsssionat.ly what
they were severally fighting for, and TO reflect
on the relative situations in which thew were
placed. With ourselves, there grew out of this
approximation, an understanding, which com
pietely changed the character Of the contest
and in Perm, its effects will be more marked
and conclusive as the motives which lead to it
are OF more determinate character.
The editor of the Philadelphia National
Gazette acknowledges the receipt Of direct ad
| vices from Madrid, Of recent date. Ii seems
that, in fact, serious insurrection, like the
movement at Lisbon, has been attempted in
Spain. The object was,-as intimsfed in our
ish Infant Don Carlos for the hdored" Fer
diuand, and establish system more ultra
royal and proscriptive than the monarch and
his advisers have found it practicable or
deemed it expedient to adopt.
The principals of the conspiracy were the
guerilla leaders, the Trappiit, and General
Capape, who endeavourcd to raise the people
in Arragon aud other provinces.
A number of distngushsd roy slists, includ-
ing bishops and friars. were e1iied as accom-
piices, to different points ofthe Kingdom, and
to France. The official paper, the Gazette Of
Madrid, ofthe 18th May. contains notiica-
ton to all Portuguese inSpainio report them
selves to the authorities and the Portuguese
legation, in order that they might be kept un-
DEF surveillance. A concert was believed to
exist between the Portuguese and Spanish
indictments of the various classes. Two sets
of consprators are now dreaded by the Portu-
guese and Spanish governments /; namely, the
consli'utonalsts, and the ultra Royalisis who
want absolute despotism both in theory and
practice. ~
