The Condition o. ePdu.-ohdh we
turn our eyes to the political results OF
the war, By them alone can we Judge
of the expedition to Spain. An intole-
rable anarchy devours that unhappy
country. Its most distinguished citizens,
and her wealthiest merchants, have fled
from that land OF desolation. AuthorI-
ty, despised, is butt to the vllest m
trigues and manoeuvres; the King, and
il is a notorious fact, is thousand times
less free, under the apostolic JunOa, ana
the factions which are continually con-
testing for power, than he wa. under The
Cortes before the invasion OF our army.
Our troops are condemned TO remain
spectators of all the disorders; and far
from having it in their power TO ternlI-
nate an occupation burthensone to the
treasury, our ministry are Obliged TO
collect new forces for the observation OF
the Pyrenees. We are the butt OF both
parties. because we have deceived the
hopes ofthe one, and will not minsle in
sthe fuIlous measures OF the other. Inc
scountry is without credit, and the re-
rsources which it found under the. Cnrtes
have failed il under the CanariIia. -
There is not capitalist Ill Europe who
will lend them dollar
Nothing but the possession OF the CO.
[ lonies could have given life to the abso-
lutte government. We have fastened 10
divorce them from her. France, chain
ed down to her own coasts, has to look
upon Eng and peaceably pursuing me
commerce Of that new world, while, 10
our own peril. we are assembling our
troops in the peninsula, which has been
deprived Of all its exterior wealth, and
all its interior resources. lhelr is
living Spain and dead one. We have
lett our expert neighbours to ransack
the former for treasures, while we gloo-
miiy sit consuming ourselves over the
corpse of the latter.
We shall be obliged, first or last, to
recognise the Independence OF the new
republics: but, in doing it, it will be ne
cessary to condemn the Spanish expedl-
ton, or to go and undo there what we
have already done that's, introduce
govern nent favorable to wealth anu IN
dustry, and which shall search IN the
country's own bosom the blessings which
the monkish system will ever refuse her,
PortugaE-A Gibraltar paper of the
18th July, states that the trial OF the IN
dividuals concerned in the criminal at
tempts of the 30th of april, and follow
ing days, of last year, in Lisbon, had
been concluded, and that the king had
paFdoned all those who acted subordi-
nate parts, the leaders and principals
only being condemned TO Punishment
from the kingdom. Among several
names mentioned is that of the Marquis
OF Abrantes, and De Aranjo, prlncipal
physician of the army.
A Caracas paper complains OF the
quantity of foreign sugars introduced IN
to the country from Spanish prizes, to
the injury of the cultivatots, and re-
marks that the quality with which pre-
tended prizes may be passed of forlreal
ones offers great temptatont to impose
upon the Custom House.
Mr.. Brown, American minister in
France, was much indisposed In July,
and obi ged 10 have recourse to mineral
waters in Savoy.
A letter from Chorilos, OF the 18th
of June, says
was in Lima on Sunday; after din
ner rode to the camp oil the PATRIOTS
about SIX and half mile, from Lima,
and examined the trenches which are
now advanced within seven eighths OF a
mile of the castles, we were at the ex-
IRENE part of the works nearest the
Spanish Notifications, when Redil see
ing us ordered a "a h. shot to be fired
which lodged about pistol shot from US;
it passed directly over our heads and
we felt the wind of livery sensbly; you
NAV be assured we did not remain long
enough to give him another opportunity
of trying his skill. The castle will pro-
baby be surrendered in a few months,
when the squadron will remove into
Caao bay, which will be more pleas
ant than this vile hole, where we are
rolling our scuppers too all the time
This is our most disagreeablc season;
the nights are cold and foggy, tie days
sutry, though the sun is constantly OBJ
scured. 1t is however the only season
when the soil is in the least degree nour-
ished by the rains or dews; the hills a
bout us are all green and look delight
fully"
