By an arrival at New York, we have received our
regular files Of Caracas papers the 10th of March
Inclusive. They afford a still further conhT nation
of the success and excellent position of the Patriot
armies in Pei?t--they state that the rebel chief
AguPro whose capture mentioned some time
ago, had been sent to Saint Bias, in Mexico--upon
this the editor of Et t0lOmbano observes, s. More
than four thousand soldiers have been added to the
army of The republic by this event, independent OF
two thousand five hundred who had arrived at Callao
from Chill; aud thus the Llberator and President
had been enabled TO turn his undivided attention to
the campaign. In Upper Peru, three columns COM

PERU.
Extracts Of letters from an officer on board the
United States ship Franklin.
Valparaiso, Dec. Sd.--T'he political affairs in
Alto Peru promise very badly for The Patriots and
now believe that all Peru will fall into the hands
of the Spaniards. General Bolivar is now at the
head Of the Peruvian Government. and has about
1000 veteran Colombans, and the Gillian troops
sent down few weeks past, amounting to $500
men, together with all the Peruyians, at his com
mand. There will be hard fighting, il the Spanish
troops support the character reported of them. Ow
ing to this unsettled state Of the country business is
very dull, and cannot be better urti regular inter
course with The interior takes place"
patparaiSo, Dec. 4h.-We are now busily en-
ployed in cauking the ship, and as soon as that is
done, which will be in the course of six or seven
days, we go agen 10 the Intermedius, and bring
up, suppose, as before, at Callao; where hope
we shall remain but short time after the arrival OF
the frgate United States. AS to the state Of affairs
in this part of the world, I only mention that the
Patriot expeditions which sailed from Caao and
hence, have failed, and that the Royaists are again
in possession of all the coast in Upper Peru. Boil
var is at Lima and, understand, expecting more
troops from Colombia; but it will be long time &C
codng to present appearances, before the war will
be terminated, the Patriots resources, it is said,
are declining and their pecuniary circumstances
much deranged.

We have before us letter Of late date from
an intelligent gentleman at Gibraltar, which states
the following particulars
The Dey of Algers has declared war against
Spain, and sent out his cruizets. II is not under.
stood that war will actually result from the quarrel
between the British and Algerines, but rather that
the present Dey will lose his head and that the new
one VIII make the necessary apologies 1t being an
derStood that the English maice them present of il
corrette for the one that has been captured. Our
government may think it advisable. as our consul
Shaier, has been threatened TO add vessel TO our
present force On this station, at least as long as AL
giers shall be at war with SPAIN
"As to Spain, the whole country appears parai
zed, waiting in anxious expectation Tor some change
We have daily details OF the most abominabe per-
secutions Of all those suspected of liberalism.
NO amnesty has been published, although il has
been repeatedly promised, but Ferdinand has thus
far resisted, and is believed will never consenl to
it, unless pressed into the measure by France
Should he be compelled to grant this act OF mere
justice, few believe that it will afford protection to
any liberal Of the least note. Many will not trust
him even with the guarantee OF France. The In
QUESTION is not formally restored but the titles and
honors and salaries Of the old inqusitors are, and
they now par ade the kingdom in the darkest ages.
The whole Spanish army has been disbanded, an
entire new organization is taking place thousands
are thus rendered desperate, and the is
that the public roads throughout the country are in.
tested with robbers. In some parts it is dangerous
to pass from village to village half league distant.
Travelling, therefore, is nearly put stop 20, and
there is very little communication except BY the
public mail which is every where carried on horse
back. The government at Madrid is without means
or any prospect Of getting them; and no one pre-.
tends to see how the machine is to be kept in opera
ton except by foreign help, say by France, and we
may readily believe that she will not continue her
aid without some quid pro quo, which must be found
in some parts OF America" Nat. GG=.

If Virginia is not influenced by sectional feel
ings, why does she not give her support to J.
q. ADAMS? She has never denied that he is at
least equal to any of the other candidate, as TO
qualifications and claims. Justice, common,
courtesy, rcpublicanism, the very essence of
WHICH is spirit of mutual concessions, aud the
endurance OF partial evils for the general good,
call ON Virginia now to support the candidate,
not Of Now England, but whom New England
supports; not because iic was born in New Eng
land, but because hc is Il citizen Of the United
States, supported by New England who has
heretofore supported citizens ofthc United States
bo.r in Virginia. Let Virginia extend lihc
raj hand, and rcciprocate tic good feelings oi
those who have stood by her till he whole stock
has run out and at future day she may look
with confidence again TO her old friends.

The Republicans Of New England have uni.
formly from the commencement of our govern
fncrIt, supported the Virginia candidate for the
Presidential chair. They supported Washing
ton, MoYgh u Ptrgi1ian, because he was re.
publican in principle, andmorc worthy, and bet
Ter qualified, than any they had to offer. They
supportc J c,ferson, thought Tirginiun, because
he was Il t.publican, anddcseTyiux the high trust
sThcy supported Mr.. Madison, and Mr.. Monroe,
sth,ugd pUsilirns, for the same reason. From
fthis brief yiCy, thenustcc of imputiug secii0,l-
al feelings and motives to the republicans of n.
England, will be evident TO every candid mind.
New England now supports JoHN Quincy a
DAMS, not because he is Il New England man,
for had his nativity been cast ON the green banks
of the Potomac, nc would have received the
same support from New England that he now
does, but because lac is a republican in princi-
pie, greatly experienced in the science of go
vernmcnt, and in every particular better quail
fed for the station than any of his competitors.
Virginia has never questioned his qualifications,
and only opposes his claims on the ground that
there is a .VtltiVe Virgitias who aspires to this
high station. From this view Of things it will
appear, that Virginia is sectio1at in her views
and motives, and that New England looks at

SOUTH CAROLINA.

From the Chera,c Mtciigencer, .Maici j..
Now that the darling of this State MR. Cal
houn) has surrendered his chance as hopeless the
people will no doubt turn their attention to the
man, richly deserving the highest honours of the
country; tue veteran statetInan, and polished
scholar, JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. His
cause is growing brighter and brighter; every
mail brings some new accession 10 his strength.
We think him now unquestiOnably tie man of
!Souft Carolina; more especially, five are per-
mitcd to Judge from his popularity in this section
OF the State-here he STANDS uariratitd.-To
show III what estimation the ycncrated Wash
lngton held this great man, we will state the
opinion he entertained of his abilities. We
have heard il repeatedly stated rs fact. tliat,
when John Adams was President, through mo
tivcs ofdclcacy, lie was disposed not TO bring
his son forward in the public concerns of the ma
ton. General Washington atcd TO him that
the talents of John Quincy Adams were of such
4 trancendcnt order, that the necessities of the
country demanded his services; that he should
not, in case of such public concern, regard his
personal feelings; but that lie ought to assign
him that station where his country might be ben
efittcd by the spendor ofhis genius. Such were
the opnionso Washingt that cary period, of
the man who now offers himself to the consider
alton the pubiic-who has for more than thirty
years in the faithful service O! his country, prov
cd that he merits the gratitude and confidence of
the pcoplc.
