just witnessed. The next day the following an-
swer was addressed to the Consul, signed by Mr.
Salvador de A-lagon,sect'etary of the council.
‘ The cordial congratulations contained in your
letter of the 5th April inst. has been in the high-’
est degree flattering and gratifying, both as com-
ing from you, as :1 citizen of the United States,
and in your capacity as a consul of so great a peo-

their being actuated by the same liberal feelings.
‘We share irt _vour felicitatious upon our having
broken the chains rivited by superstition and des-
potism, and we honor with equal veneratibn the
names of VVashing'ton and Quiroga.
‘ Liberty and justice are now the fttndamental
basis upon which all‘ the operations of the Span-
iards are to be grounded ; consequently you may
‘ assure your countrymen, th'at hen‘ceforth they
need apprehend none of those fiscal regulations
which were mysteriously conducted, and which

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Accounts from Buenos Ayt-es are down to, the
lsth rVlar'ch. Revolutions and counter revolutions
are the order of the day.
A treaty of peace was concluded on the 22d of
Februtzry between the prminces of lintro Rios,
Santa Fe, and Buenos Ayres, andon the 25th,
the governors of those three provinces entered
the latter city. On the promulgation of the treaty,
great rejoicings took place at llu 'en'os Ayres; On
the lst of March, the new governor of Buenos
Ayrcs, Sarratea, ordered that all the governnierit
paper then outstanding, should be presented in 15
days, that the state of the public debt might be
known. On the same day, General Balcarcc and
his army entered the city amidst the acclatnations
bf the citizens. .
On the 5th March, a counter revolution was ef-
fected by the adherents of Puerrydon. General
Balca-rce was put at the head of government; and
Sarramz, and all the other federalists, were for-
ced to fly; but they joined the federal troops a-
bout six leagues from the capital. On the 9th
and 10th, some of the best ofiicers, a regiment of
citizens, a regiment of veterans, a lcomjpanyof
grcnadiers, and some of the city guards, lied and
went over to the federalists. In the mean time,
authority having been given to Balcarce to do
whatsoever he might think best_, be summoned
every inhabitant to arms in his defence, and also
invoked the aid of slaves, offering them their
freedom. But about ll o'clock on the night of
the llth March, the troops_upon which iialcarce
relied, and which he kept shut up in the fort, re-
volted; broke open the gates, and made off to
the camp of the‘fc<leralists; and Balcarce, who
had proclaimed S-arratea and all the other fugi-
tives, traitors to their country, took flight in his
turn, let hirnselfdown by a rope from the top of
the fort to the river. The next inorning, the fed-
eralists, and all the troops who hard deserted to
them, entered the city, crying, ‘ Live Sarrateal
Our Country and Union ‘." And ‘it;-'ithout acti-
dent orblootlshed, each inhabitant retired to his
dwelling; the of.~“tcers and soltliers to theirjre-
spective quarters; and Sarratea to his post as
Governor. [Another account mentipns that the
federal troops were guilty ol great excesses, and
that the city was in great confusion and tet't‘ot'.]
On the live following days, many of the adher-
ents of Puerrydon were taken. Balcarce, how-
ever, and 8 or 9 ofthe leaders, escaped. All the
members of the Congress who signed the agree-
ment which surrendered the country to the prince
of Lucca, have also been taken, with the except-
ion of three who adcompanied their signature
with a protest.
VVe offer below (says the National Gazette) an
. abstract of an edict of the new Governor of the
tempestuous republic, Sari-area. ‘We hope the
provisions of this edict are not to be taken as a
specimen of the kind of liberty recovered in that
quarter, and of the genius of the administration
which has succeeded that of Puerrydou.

The Venezuelian private__r captured with hel‘

Baltimore of Baltimore, commanded by Capt. S;
Metcalf, of Saybrook, Conn. _ A '
The prizes to the privateer were Spanish slaves
captured‘ near Cape Mount-—Capt. Metcalfenga-
ged eight slave vessels, and after a severe engage.-
ment of two hours and forty minutes, succeeded
in capturing two, six having made their escape,
when the next day he fell in with and was captu-
red by the Myrmidon. A _
The U. S. ship Cyane, Capt. Trenchard, has
gone down to Sheabar ; and the Rev. Mr. Bacon
purchased of Capt. Leeke a pilot boat schooner
in which he will proceed with some ofiicers of the
Cyane, along the coast to Cape Mount, before a’
spot is determined op to settle. Capt. Leeke
thinks the idea of settling at Sheabar will be aban-
doned, in consequence ofthe shallowness ofthe
water, not being of sufficient depth in the harbor
for ships of war. VVhy have they abandoned the
thought ofsettling at Bulam ? The Island is for-
tile hating a good harbor, and situated to com-
mand the trade of the natives up Rio Crande, and
considerable from the Gambia. It is far the best
place in Africa tb found a colony.
Since the arrival of the Comntisdibners for the
trial of slave vessels at Sierra Leone, 32 ofthat
description have been captured andicondemncd.
That inhuman traflic is now carried on to an alar-
ming extent. Twenty vessels were reported the
other day to be in Bissau aiid Cassatt Rio Grande;
all for slaves.
Doctor Dorkett; with twenty fneh,‘ part of the
expedition into the interior of Africa, have arri-
ved at Tombuctoo, where they were seized and
confined, and stripped of all their clothing. and
all connnutiicatiotr with Maj. Gray, at the en-
trance of the Niger, cut 03'. Major Gray has
been robbed of all his amber and coral ; but cam-
cls have lately been (lispatclirld will) a supply to
enable him to proceed.

and as many l:Tlacks from the settlement as I,
clroosle to make requisition for,) and cruise off
this islartitl, to assist in protecting our asylum of
liberated Africans against the slave traders, and
intercepting all vessels engaged in that traffic.-L
This schooner was purchased for a tender to the
Cyane by M r. Bacon; the agent, before our arri-
val, as he learnt from the English squadron that
all their captures \\ ere made by boats or vessels
of this description. Previous to the arrival ofthe
Cyane, she was used for transporting the stores
from the Elizal)t:th, up to the settlement. Since
and down the river three times, without the least
difficulty. The Cyane cannot .rpproach.within 20
miles of the settlement. We find here abun-
dance of oysters, fish, pine-apples, oranges, bana-
nas, plantains of the choicest kind.’

It is stated in the Philadelphia National Ga-
zette, that in pursuance of a treaty between Great
Britain and Spain of the date of September l8l7,
the universal abolition ofthe African Slave trade,
under the Spanish flag, was to take place on the
30th May the present year. This leaves butone
power that sanctions this iniquity, viz. Portugal.‘
The above event renders the present a very im-
portantera-‘for if the inaritime forces of Great
llritaitr and the United States shall be vigorously
employed in scouring the African coast, it will be
extremely difficult to carry it on with much profit
or security. Portugal being now left alone, must
come involuntarily into the general agreemerrt
of civilized nations, or in case of obstinacy, she
will be _/breed into it. Indeed, an event, by no
means improbable, may produce the effect, at
least so far as the European possessions of that
power are concerned. A revolution similar
to that which has recently occurred in Spain,‘
which it would seem could scarcely fall (vflfliililg
place, would at once bring forth an order for its
suppression. \Ve ardently hope, that before an-’
other year shall pass away, the Slave trade will
be the least profitable, and the most h:.2.rr'dc.-us
of all the varieties of traflic which marrl-'.urrl eti-
