The Wilmingtonian, and Delaware advertiser., 1826-02-09

We have been intlulged with the perusal
of letter to gentleman i'll this place from
his friend in Havana, dated Jan. 2lst, which I
states, that Brig had just arrived there in
few days from Jamaica, bringing report,
that in a short time Columbian squadron
would sail from Carthagena for Havana. This
threatened attack, however, seemed to cause
but trifling uneasiness in the city. There were
at the date of his letter, in port, six Spanish
trigatcs of the first class, and 5000 troops i'll
fine order. The city was remarkably heal
thy. The United States frigate Constela-
ton and sloop Of war Hornet were lying in
port from cruise.

By the last mail from Peru, which arriy-
ed about three days ago, we have received
intelligence that General Charles Alvear,
and Doct. j. M. d. Nee2, the two COM
missioners, who, ON the first dawniag OF
rupture between this Government and Bra
zil, were sent off to confer with Bolivar and
solicit the cooperation of the liberatng ar
my of Columbia in the event Of war-had
arrived on 9TH October, at Potosi, and had
met with the most cordial and flatterlng re-
ception from the Liberator, and assurances
of his disposition to engage in the cause.
1.-The Argentine people may be assured"
says he in his speech to the commissioners,
"that our hearts will never be separated
from their future fortunes" And his letter
in reply to that of our Executive by the
hands of the commissioners, contains SINH
lar friendly professions. In allusion to the
Brazilian Emperor, while he addresses the
{ commissioners, he remarks" Indeed, we
have reason to wonder that an American
Prince recently independent of Europe
j who is found involved in our noble insur-
recton, and who has reared his throne, not
! upon Il weak foundation, but on the indie
/ structible Sovereignty of the People and the
sovereignty of the laws this prince, who
should appear destined to be the friend of
n neighbouring Republics, is he who still oc~
! cupies Province and a strong hold which
do not belong to him, ,and who domineers over
one otour most worthy nations. On the other
8 hand his troops have just invaded our prov
0 ince OF Chiquitos to dcsolate it and insult us
!, with barbarous menaces-and when the
:. terror of our arms has put them to flight,
), then they carry off our property and our cit
!. iztas. Yet these celebrated voi!aters of
: the rights of people have remained unpun-
" ished, our citizens huuIiliated and our glory
offended; but we are thankful for the events
: which have served to add new ties to the
J chains which draw US together in order
, sometimes to reclaim those rights as at 9TH
n ers we have acquired them"
