whole fauiily, and burnt their dvvcUiiif^. tlie insolent pretensions of European 

 Mutual proscription of course destroys legitimacy as from their ancient tyrants 



all confidence and industry, — tlie most 

 intelligent fly the country ; while the 

 traitors Morillo, Abisbal, &c. have 

 been permitted to retire into Fiance. 

 Tiie French traitor llourraont com- 

 mands at Madrid; but every account 

 states, that he demands fresh troops, 



Lord Byron, and otiier Englishmen of 

 enerji-etit; eliiiracter, :ire among them. 

 The United .States likewise are favour- 

 ably disposed to their cause. 



WEST INDIES. 



Considerable dissentions have taken 

 place in Jamaica, and otJier Ilritisli 



and that detachments are marching to colonies, in consequence of the.ivovvcd 



his relief and support. Mina and 

 other patriots arc in London ; but 

 hopes are nevertheless entertained, 

 that both the Spaniards and Portu- 

 guese will rally in the ensuing spring 

 and summer. A general amnesty, and 

 the establishment of constitutional 

 forms, might have served as a respite 

 for the tyrants ; but so mucli wisdom 

 would have been inconsistent. 



In the mean time, Ferdinand has 

 heaped one absurdity on another, by 

 issuing a proclamation exacting obe- 

 dience to his Trans- Atlantic states; 

 and it is universally believed, that a 

 grand ell'ort will be made by the Holy 

 Alliance, to bring back those now 

 independent republics to their vassal- 

 age to Spain. Of the success of so 



wishes of many philanthropists in 

 England to see the black population 

 emancipated. This project the colo- 

 nists consider as so fatal to their 

 interests, that a spirit of remonstrance 

 lias arisen in Jamaica particularly, 

 which will not be easily allayed. 



SOUTH AMEUICA. 



Of the independence of all the late 

 Spanish provinces, no doubt can be 

 entertained. Bolivar has jienetrated 

 into Peru, got possession of Lima, and 

 the faction of priests and royalists 

 are scattered and overwhelmed. Tlie 

 only possession remaining to Spain is 

 the solitary ciistle of -Vera Cruz, on 

 the- Mexican Gulpli. 



Of the proverbial bad faitb of Euro- 

 pean legitimacy, the Brazilians have 



wild a project, no hope can be enter- just had a notable proof. The Cortes, 



tained; but, if persisted in, it will while assembled in deliberation, have 



disturb the world a few years longer, been surrounded by the guards of the 



Ferdinand's hopes and feelings are «o«-(//Mj;i enipeior, the sou of the Kiri 



manifested by ids proclamation, and 

 by every rumour from Spain. 



GREECE. 



The Greeks maintain themselves in 

 the Morca, and in the southern pro 



of Portugal ; the whole dispersed, and 

 some arrested and shipped for Europe! 

 The result of this outrage is not yet 

 known ; hut, us a rcpublicim spirit 

 pervades these provinces, it may be 



vinecs; and may now be regarded as Loped tliat the fate of tlie Emperor 



an organized people. Corinth is taken; fc<lro, in Brazil, will besimilarto that 



and some advantages have been ou- of the Emperor Iturbide, in Mexico, 



fained over a division of the Turkish His admiral. Lord Cochrane, who has 



licet. Indeed the movements of the protected Biazil against Portugal, is 



Turks appear to be paralyzed ; and tlie not likely to protect an usurper against 



Greeks have as much now to fear from the peoi)le.
