» Bolivar, in his address to the Con- 
ess of Peru, after informing them that 
“if the declarations of France can be 
Believed, she will not be behind Eng- 
land’ in recognizing Peruvian indepen- 
dence,” adds the following memorable _ 
words :—“ On returning to Congress 
the supreme power which they have de- 
posited with me, I may be permitted to 
felicitate the people on freeing them- 
selves from what is most terrible in the 
world—from war, by the victory of Aya- 
cucho, and from despotism, by my re- 
signation.” He implores the people to 
proscribe for ever “so dreadful an au- 
thority,’ and retreats into the humble 
rank of “an auxiliary soldier,” whose 
duty calls him to assist in establishing 
the liberty of Upper Peru, and ensuring 
the capture of Callao. We confess we 
know of nothing to equal the subli- 
mity of this in the records of heroic vir- 
tue, from the first page of human his- 
tory to that on which the deeds of this 
illustrious champion of human liberty 
are inscribed ! ! ! : 
- The total defeat of Olanetta, the last 
of the Spanish generals in Upper Peru, 
has. been confirmed by. advices. from 
Bogoat and from Carthagena: two ac- 
tions were fought, one on the 2d, the 
other on the 4th of March, in the 
neighbourhood of La Paz. The dis- 
persion of the Spanish force was com- 
plete: Olanetta himself escaped, but 
had only a few followers with him, and 
was_ supposed to be making an attempt 
to cross the continent, with the view of 
gaining the Brazilian territory.

added, that as he could not haye,,been:

been seduced to. that crime bythe 
Governor ofthe castle of Callao; and 
that the other poniard-was to be found 
within the sleeve of the left arm of 
General Bolivar’s head servant, who was 
to murder him the night of that very day. 
The poniard was found as it was said.

The State Legislature of Georgia -has. 
assumed a menacing aspect. The-Go- 
vernor of Georgia had sent a ‘message to 
the Georgian House of Representatives, 
charging with impropriety the ‘mterfer= 
ence exercised by the General Govern- 
ment, and announcing, that as the’'Geor- 
gians “had exhausted argument, they! 
ought to stand by their arms.” A re- 
port and resolution were founded on.it, 
couched in the most menacing, and even. 
warlike terms. The difference whieh. 
menaces a defection of all the Southern 
States (including Virginia and South 
Carolina} from the other members:<of 
the Republic; is, the opposition between 
the interests of those who dealin: slaves; 
and the sentiménts of those who Wish*
