or, like the kingdom of Poland, the name would
be restored, in order to swell the titles of the
Czar.

The Dutch schr. Elise, arrived here from Cura-
coa, has brought us a file. of the Curacc-a C'ozn-an;
to the t7th ult. No accounts ofthe expected bat-
tle between the patriots and royalists had been re-
ccived up to that date; but it was supposed to
have been fought on Saturday, the 9th June, in
the plains of Cai'a_bobo, a little to the ivestnvaid of
Pucrto Cabello, although doubts were entertained
as to this, from the circuuisiance ofa vessel hav-
ing recently arrived at Curacoa from Curo, wliiclf
might have brought accounts ‘of the battle had it
taken place. Considering the caution with which
Bolivar has hitherto proceeded, we are not sor-
prised at the llllCt.‘l'l'<tllll.y which prevails on this
subject. \'v'e are persuaded, lielwillhnot 1':-ad his
men into action unless the chances are greatly in
liisfaior, or that his peculiar position compelled
him to light. The proximity of the two armies
certainly justifies the belief, that an engagement
cannot be far distant. '

had been received, that there was a report at that

A ‘ R1o'Dn JANEIRO, March 4. I821.
Some months I slial; remain in this place, but
I fear at a 'coiisiderable risk. owing to the roiifu
sion of politics. The Kitty; and his ‘Court have
left this for Lisbon, which has caused a most dis-
ztgreeablc sensation among the people, and I think
will ultimately lead to a civil war, but I hope
ahey will be civil enough to let me get out of the
country first, as I have seen quite enough of cut-
ting throats since I- left New Yolk. ‘A short
time since, the citizens met for the purpose of
appointing deputies to Lisbon, and, as is usual on
all those elcctionecriiig occasions, political dis-
cnssionsran high ; though we were assured the
military would not interfere, I deemed it prudent
to retire, and luckily for me I did so. for almost
immediately after, a body of soldiers entered the
building, and with the utmost sang _/‘raid, began
firing in all directions, and most furiously Cl1aI‘_'qt.‘tl
bayonets up and down the rooms. The buildtiig,
is sittiated on the margin of the sea, and numbers
were forced out by the ivintlows and (ll'l)\\‘lle(l 3 a
more outrageous affair than this I believe never
happened in a civilized country, and will not be
forgotten by the people.

FROM, BEItMUDA.~—--The tscltotiiicr Betsey,
Briggs, arrived on Sunday last, in’ It days from
Be‘.mll(l3o We havercccived our usual files of
papers by this arrival. The disputes between the
Governor and Legislature, were still carried car-
ried on with great animosity. The Governor ap_-
pears determined to‘ place all t-re autlioritie_s‘ol‘
the Island at his feet. In this policy he is deter-
minedly opposed by the Legislature. _A -few days
previous to the‘ sailing of the Sea-Serpent. seve-
ral ttansports arrived at_Bermuda from llalifax
with troops to relic-.'t-. the garrison of that place.
On their arrival, the Governor called the otlicers
together, and in’ an address to them, declared that
the inhabitants of the Island were in a state of IC'
be|linn,at-.d that he expected the troops would stand
by him I He had previously disarmed the militia,
by calling in the government arms. On one oc-
casion he called the majority of the Lt-gislattire,
‘ a factions, irieligiotis and disappointed party.’
The house returned a spirited reply ; and declin-
ed any fuytlier proceedings until they heard from
their petition for the retnoval of his cxcellency.
The governor rejoined—‘ Blinded by error, oi-
some more dreadful infatuation, you have finally,
in direct terms, refused to do your duty. You
are proceeding at your own peril, and are L‘0llr'('-
tivcly and iridivirlually responsible to your God.
to your King, and to your cotintry, for all the :-
vils you may have entailed upon the country.’
And here the business rests between him and the
House. It appears the vestry of the Church at
St. Georges had made an appropriation to defray
the expenccs of presenting amemorial to the
king, respecting the governc-r’s conduct. He
directed the vestry to meet-.-—atteiided in person...
and demanded whether the appropriation had been
paid ? He was answered by a Mr. Till that it lrad.

From the P/ziladcl/zlzia ./furore.’ ,
There is news from Madrid, as late as the 14th
of May, now in Philadelphia. It is aremarkable
fact that the consulada of Cadiz, and two other,
.corporations of that city, have addressed memo-
trials to‘ the cortes, virtually recotiiniending the
acknowledgnieiit of South American Independ-
ence. No circumstance could more decidedly
manifest the opinions which prevail in Spain on
this head, than such a recommendation by those
"bodies. It was in Cadiz that the wealth of South
America centered-l-the membersoftlic Consula-
do were in virtue of their office, members of the
commission called Junta de Remplazos, which
had the direction and charge of the shipping of
the arrnies and warlike stores. which have been
sent to South America since the revolution com-
-menced.‘ Those memorials unreservedly declare
that all hope of conquering South America, is at
an end ; and they suggest that to secure the com-
mcrce of South America to Spain, the independ-
ence should be acknowledged, and treaties enter-
ed into.
Nor is this all--the question of independence
has been before the Cortes; and what ought to
excitereflections of a serious nature. itis said,
and with great probability it is true. that the in-
dependence of"th‘e South American states. is pat-
roiiized by the itilluencc and recommcntlutions of
Great ,Brituin,. whose public representatives at
Madrid has offered to guaraiitee South America
‘against the interference ofall other nations. VVli-at
this guarantee amounts to or intends we do not
precisely apprehend. Wl-ietlicr it is against the
holyalliance, which would be absurd enough, but
not too absurd for the occasion ; or whether it was
intended to guarantee against the United States.
we cannot guess. As to the holy alliance, the
South Ameiicans had no more cause ‘.0 fc"a r them
than the people in the planet Ul'1lnllS. 'I‘ he state
of affairs in Mexico appears not to have been
known at Madrid in May, and it is probable that
the guarantee meant Mexico, tipon which Eng-
land has an eye that never tires. Gen. (_)’Donobo,
was to proceed by Havana for Vera Cruz. This
gcntleinan is of a generous character, he is above
itortore, to which he was e:-:post.-d in the inquisi-
tion, at the time ofthc revolt at Porlicr.
