FROM BUENOS AYRES.
NEW YORK. NOV. 14.
The Editors of the New-York Dai
Jy Advertiser are indebted to a mer
cantile friend, who arived yesterday
stir the following valuable politica
relations of that government, whirl
were drawn up by a gentleman wht
has resided there many years, am
has had an opjKirtnriity of witnessinj
every political event.
Dear Sir —Agreeably to your re
quest, I subjoin the following on tin
sauj.-- „p r*olitics &c. The sac
cession of ephemeral guytennm.«*o
which, under the title of free patriot
ic, have ruled in the provinces of tin
river La Plata, since the 25th c
May, 1810, had uniformaly partaker
of the despotism by which the Span is!
monarchy for ages has been charac
terised. This was a necessary conse
qucnce of a debased early education
efan ignorance of the principles ol
civil liberty, as practically exercised
in the happy regions of the Nothern
Hemisphere, and that small portion
of Euope, whose greatest glory and
veneration are derived from the cir
cumstance of having given origin to
Such establishments; and, I may add,
of that state of tnraldom in which the
Catholic Faith naturally tends to
hold the human mind. It is true
that the administrations from the end
of the year 1812 up to April 1815,
were charactersed by the uniform
energy of their measures, and a gene
ral regard to the civil rights of our
citizens: but from this number were
excluded the great and even wealthy
class of European Spaniards; who
were frequently despoiled of their
property, arid persecuted with un
relenting violence and malignity.
Since the period last noted, and
particularly during the years 17, 18
and 19, arbitrary imprisonments and
banishments constituted the marked
features of the executive government;
if we except, indeed, the extraordina
ry want of linanciul science and the
indifference with which were regard
ed the gross systematic frauds prac
tised on the public revenues. But
this state of things, in conformity
■with progressing principle which
makes the essence of revolutionary
struggles, prepared the way to the
complete dissolution observable in
the year 1820. Dhiing the follow
ing year, this province formed a re
presentative assembly, declared sub
sequently constituent, and elected a
Governor, who still exercises the ex
ecutive authority through the minis
try of three persons of acknowledg
ed integrity and distinguished talents
in their respective departments of
State. War and Finance.
The first department is filled by
J>on Bernardino Revadaera, a per
son of genius, possessing elevated
ideas of civil and religious rights and
liberty, as well from early habits join
ed to native strength of intellect, as
from acquirements made during more
than six years residence in England
and France in a public character.
Time does not allow me to enter into
u detail of the improvements under
his ministry : 1 can, however, assure
that the guaranty for the enjoyment
of personal liberty, of property, of
the liberty of speaking and publish
ing, (and I may almost add, with the
inclusion of religious topics and exer
cises,; stands on a footing not likely
to be shaken; and the minister is
progressing in the measure that is to
terminate in an absolute tolerance.
The financial department has been
no less distinguished A—the public
treasury is as good as that of any
country for all its necessities—the
revenues are collected and appropri
ated with great exactitude—and are
in- no way bUrthensome. The in
, terest on the public debt (amounting
a principle of about 6.00,000 of
? dollars) is paid every three months,
Sic. &c.
PORTUGAL AND SPAI&
We are indebted says the New
i York Statesman, to a friend, for the
* following interesting letter addressed
to him from Lisbon, by an intelligent
American, who enjoys peculiar ad
vantages in that city for obtaining
accurate information of the political
, affairs of the country, observing the
manners and customs of the people,
and acquainting himself with whate
ver would be likely to arrest the at
tention of a stranger in quest of
knowledge. The letter was -written
to a friend, and probably without the
expectation of its finding its way into
the columns of a public journal, but it
will be not the less interesting to our
readers on that account.
LISBON, SEPT.IIth, 1822.
;(s Dear Sir, —We arrived here the
o] sth of last month, and landed on the
oi-! Bth, of the same, after a most happy
n*.) passage. —I have not had much time
a ~ or opportunity to make observations
nff upon the many novelties around me.
‘*l I find the same sun, a similar sky,
it,: j & human forms like those I have seen
ci- before—but here the analogy ends.
r(^ : ln stature, complexion, religion,
i manners, ,amiiser<u>nfa, drpss, fond,
■° r ' habitations Sic. the Portuguese are
; matcrinlly different from us, as much
tcs Iso nearly as in their language. No
— i thing can be more fallacious than the
partial and prejudiced accounts which
travellers have given of this, and in
tj_ deed I might say of every country,
r _j and of none more than our own. 1
i find the people more moral, appn
j rently, and certainly more clearly ci
■ vil and tolerant than I had been
10 taught to expect. I will not undrr
((j j take to give you any just and ado-
J quatc idea of them and their country
k j till 1 have learnr the language, and
I have seen more. The language ap
-1 pears to be very easy to acquire, as
it certainly is very agreeable to the
ear. I have got so as to read the
t ( newspapers with the help of a dic
1P tionary, and begin to speak the lan
cf S ua » e - I have viewed some ancient
, n and noble churches and convents,
’j, hut have by no means seen all or half
c the beautiful and vast works even of
J that kind, which Lisbon has to at
‘j tract and reward the attention ofa
stranger.
d My ignorance of (he language has
„ not prevented my being present at a
„ sitting of the Cortes. 1 find them a
fJ dignified and well regulated body.—
1 here is the same freedom of debate,
’ and it is exercised to as great an ex-
I tent us with us, though I think in
g some respects under better rules than
0 in the American Congress—There is
e never any difficulty or discontent
( j about precedence in occupying the
floor. The members who wish to
u’ address the chair, send their names
_ to the President, and he calls upon
them in their turn. Their speeches
e are not general! so long as our worthy
countrymen make, which I think a
, very good quality in them. How
r ever, I have seen but little, inquired
but little, and read but little of them,
and therefore warn you to receive
1 my statements accordingly. The
? President is elected every month, dnd
I also four Secretaries, who are chosen
I from among the deputies themselves.
. I never saw more order and decorum,
’ or more gentlemanly feelings and
. | manners than appeared to prevail in
this assembly. The constitution ap
] pears to be firmly established, but its
t fate is supposed to hang on that of
f the Spanish nation. The latter has
, lately proposed to Portugal an alii
r • ance offensive and defensive; but
, i there are great efforts making at this
( court to prevent such arrange
ment.
Ferdinand openly avows himself
at the head of the counter revolution
j ists ; and it is well understood that he
organized and headed the late con
’ spiracy. The constitutionalists in
Spain have surrounded their unstea
’ dy king with their own party, and
t - popular opinion compels him" to give
the sanction of his name and authori
, ty to the measures which are taking
to punish and destroy his own friends.
I There he is. He can neither fly for
I foreign help, (for his flight would
probably furnish the pretext which
, those holy personages desire,) nor
, help himself nor save his friends.
I This state of things does great credit
to the moderation and firmness, and
| and political talents of the liberals.
. Every movement thus far, has issued
„ ‘in their triumph; and they are about
t forming a cordon to oppose “ the
C cordon of health” in France, and un
less that is withdrawn, to excite the
. revolutionary elements which are
known to exist there.

From South America.
“ NORFOLK, NOV. 14.
An intelligent gentleman who ar
il rived here last night, in the scldr.
i'iDart, captain Bragg, from Carthage
na, which place he (eh on the 2id
October, states the following as the
respective positions of the Patriot
forces at the time of his sailing:—
General Montilla, who had just been
appointed Commander in Chief of
all the Colombian forces employed,
or to be employed on the seaboard,
was at Rio de la Haca with 500 men,
. and momently expected to be joined
j by 400 more, under the command of
, Col. Ramos, who was then on his
march from Mompox j 'Oen Paea W«3
’ engaged in the seige of Porto Cavel
lo, and Gen Soublette, between Va-
C lencia and Caraccas.
t The last advices received at Car
, thagena, from Morales, stated that
( he had inarched from Maracaibo in
t to the interior, upon a secret expedi
. tion', leaving 200 men to garrison
that place. Our informant thinks
that there must be some error in the
; information recently received by-let*
' ters from Laguirn, representing Mo
rales as having landed 15 oil 1G miles
[ below that place about the loth Oct.
' 1500 men, with the intentim of at
-5 tacking it and Carraccas ; as! he con
siders it highly improbable that he
’ could have passed from Miracnibo
to that part of the coast, witlout first
having an encounter with Montilla
’ or Soublette, who were anxiously
’ watching his movement.
“ Morales’ naval force, consisting of
two gun frigates, 1 brig of 22 guns, 4
, or 5 schooners, ard several fleeberas,
( afforded, however, a great facility
for debarking and landing his troops,
as the Patriot squadron consisted of
j of only t»o Brigs, since the raising of
the blockade of Porto Cabello, and
could not make even a show of oppo
( sition. /
General Bolivar, was at Guaya
quil, about 'l4O miles S. S. *W. of
r Quito; and two expresses had been
I despatched by Government, requir
ing iijs immediate return to Colom
, bia. Much dissatisfaction was anti
, cipnthd on the part of the Congress,
, at his late movements.
Our informant speaks a language
by no means flattering, as to (lie pro
t gress of the Patriots in those qualifi
cations necessary to constitute them
’ a free and happy Republican people,
p He also states that he is not sur
prised at the numerous exaggerated
j accounts received in this country, re
lative to the progress' of their arms
, or their advancement in the arts of
•ivilized life, when it is almost impos.
siblc fora person on the spot to dc.
rive any correct information of pass
ing events.
Captain Hull.
Tiie National Intelligencer of Sa
turday (received yesterday) contains
tiie proceedings of the court of en
quiry in relation to the charges pre
ferred against capt. Hull, by lieut.
Abbott, and others. The proceed
ings occupy more than four columns
(small type) of (he Intelligencer.
The great length of (Ids interesting
document—interesting, because it
concerns our country, and involves
the character of the man, who first
broke the charm of British naval in
vincibility—precludes it from appear
ing in our columns. We have, how
ever subjoined the opinion of the
j court, which will be read with plea
sure by every man in the community.
[Pet. Ren.
opinion;
This Court is of opinion that the
convertion of articles in this Yard,
belonging to the Unitedf States, to
the private use of individuals, whe
ther by loan, exchange, or otherwise,
is incorrect. But, as it appears to
the satisfaction of this Court, that
all the articles which have been so
converted to private use, with the
consent or knowledge of Capt. Hull,
have also been replaced, by similar
or other articles of equal or greater
, value, the Court arc therefore of o
pinion that no loss has in fact result
ed to the United States ; and that no
fraud was practised, sanctioned, or
intended by Capt. Hull in these
transactions.
The Court are further of opinion,
that the employment of persons,
while in the pay of the United States,
for the private advantage of indivi
duals ; excepting such as are speci
ally allowed by the regulations, is in
correct : But the court are further of
opinion, that in the particular instan
ces ol this kind which were sanction
ed or known to Capt. Hull, the devia
tion from the regulations has not been
the cause of loss to the U. States.
The Court are further of opinion,
that the deviations in this Yard, from
the regulations prescribing particu
lar forms to be observed, in mustering
and paying persons employed in Na
vy \ ards for the United States, was
improper, inasmuch as such devia
tion was made without the previous
sanction of the Navy Department.
But, it is also the opinion of this
court, that no loss has resulted to the
U. States from this deviation.
The Court are further of opinion,
that the permission granted to Lieut)
Percival to visit Europe, by.Capt.
Hull, without the previous sanction
of the Secretary of the Navy, was
incorrect. But, the court are further
of opinion, that no injury did in fact
result to the United States from the (
permission thus granted.
The Court arc further of opinion, ]
that Capt. Hull, in allowing articles j'
belonging to himself, to be placed in
F the Navy Yard of the United States,];
, and,in permitting the same persons to j
, muster and pay, at the same time and!,
, place, within the Navy Yard, men: j
1 employed for Ids private benefit, and j
f other men who were employed for ;
i the United States, was indiscreet, in-. ]
usmuch as such conduct, tho’ in it-!
- self innocent, may, nevertheless, give; !
■ rise, in the minds of persons not ac- !
quainted with the ‘real nature and all
■ the particulars of such transactions, i
t to vague impressions of misconduct
- in public officers.
The Court are further of opinion,
i that the charge, made by Capt. Hull’s
i orders, against the United States, for
; the medicines furnished for the use
. of his family, by Dr. Elliott, was al
. lowed by the general usage of the
i service at that time.
The Court are further of opinion,
. that, in withholding his sanction to
. the allowances for chamber money,
> fuel, and candles, to officers not per
> manently attached to the Yard, Capt.
t Hull was justified by his instruction's
i from tiie Navy Department.
r The Court are further of opinion,
that, in his conduct towards the offi
f cars, mechanics, and others, under
t Ids command, Capt. Hull lias beer.
, j guilty of no act of oppression or un
justifiable severity, but, on the con*
, i trary, he has, so far as was consistent
f! with his duty to the United States,
( granted every proper indulgence,
i The Court are further of opinion,
. that the purchase of property, in the
immediate vicinity of public stations,
. by officers attached to such stations,
f may excite surmises injurious to the
i reputation ol'such officers, and thcre
. lore is not discreet. Yet it is the
. opinion of (he Court, that the parti
. cular purchases of this kind made by
, Capt. Hull were made with no im
proper view of private advantage to
; himself, but originated in solicitude
. j for the public interest, and were pro
. j scented with expectations of public
, benefit, which the United States, in
. the opinion of the Court, have real
. ized in the removal of disorderly per
j son from the vicinity of this Navy
. Yard.
5 And finally this Courtis ofopin
f ion, that, with the before mentioned
. exceptions, the conduct of Capt.
. Hull, since his command of this
Yard, for strict personal attention to
the preservation of tho public pro
perty committed to this charge; for
the judicious application of the means
placed at his disposal for the public
■ service; and for the faithful perform*
! ance of all his other official duties;
■ has been correct and meritorious.

; Kotzebue, the Russian circumna
l vigutor, relates that he learned, on
i his arnyal at Oonulasiika, that whales
: were sometimes found one hundred
■ and eighty feet in length, making it
• necessary for the'people engaged at
. the opposite ends of the fish to hal
> 100 very loud to be able to hear one
another. This is not, however, so
wonderful as another story which he
reports. The Governor of Manilla,
“ a well-informed, intelligent man,
■ assured him, that, in the interior ol'
, the country, to which horses often
i run away, a bird makes its nest in
• the upper part of the anim d’s tail:
, the horse grows lean, and does not
i recover even after the bird has flown
away with its young.”
i In Pearl River, (Sandwich Js*
' lands,) sharks are so large as to
, swallow men whole while bathing.—
■ The natives, according to Kotzebue,
• have made an artificial bank of coral
• stone near the shore, in which they
■ keep a large shark ; where they
• sometimes throw adults, but frequent
• ly children, as a sacrifice.
■ On an island towards the eastern i
shore of Behring’s Straits, Kotzebue]
, was greeted in a very friendly man- ]
i ner by the natives. After some pre-;
, vious salutations and presents, the i'
• commander of tiie horde invited his!
■ visitor to his tent. There a greasyji
• piece of leather was spread as a seat t
r for the guest, and each person pre- ] i
sent, approaching in turn, embraced j i
• him, rubbed his nose hardly against ' i
■ the stranger’s nose, then spat upon i
i his own hands and wiped them se- I
veral times over the face of his newly t
, acquired friend. A wooden trough, ]

five words, he drew a knife, plunged t
i it into the victim, and threw its body 1

THURSDAY, NOV. 28, 1822. ■
On Tuesday evening last three Indian
youths, twe Cherokees and one of the
Delaware Tribe, who are now on their
way to their respective stations, present*
cd themselves before a crowded audience
at the Baptist Church, and went through
a course of religious exercises ‘with dig
nified modesty nod with much propriety.
It was truly a singular and interesting
spectacle to behold hrco young indivi
duals, from among the savages of the
wilderness, addressing a Christian com
m unitv on subjects of eternal importance.
A short time since these youths were,
>
in common with the rest of their coun
trymen, unacquainted with the arts of
civilized life, —conversant only with hea
then manners and idolatrous worship,—
now, through the influence of divine
grace, they are acquainted with the
way of salvation through a Redeemer,
and are engaged in efforts to extend the
knowledge of divine truth among those
who are yet aliens from the common
wealth of Israel, and strangers to the
covenant of promise. We hope their
influence ami exertions, in the nations
to which they arc journeying, may have
a tendency to recommend to others the
religion they themselves profress, and
that a salutary moral change may, thro 1
their instrumentality, be effected in the
various tribes in which they may reside.
A collection was made'at the door of the
meeting-house, in aid of the Cherokee
and Choctaw missions, and about eighty
eight dollars-, wo understand, were re
ceived—besides which two twenty dol
lar bilh, of the J. F. Randolph money,
and two counterfeit fifty cent bills, were
put in (he hat, as evidence perhaps that
in this civilized community there could
he exhibited r n impropriety of conduct,
of which the Indian youths would have
been ashamed.

THE INDIAN PERFORMANCES.
In forming a judgment of Chris
tianity as it acts and operates upon
the state of civil society, we are apt
to lose sight of its power and excel
lence in the previous influence which
it has exerted in taming the ferocity
of the human character. Here its
majesty and force are less visible and
instantaneous, because its influence
has already worn away the rougher
asperities and points of natural enmi
ty. liut upon the savage it breaks
with a sudden lustre, unfolding at
once the transcendent virtue of its
doctrines and the peculiar adaptation
of its precepts to the condition of
man. A very practical proof of this
was given at the Baptist Church on
Tuesday evening last when the two
Cherokees and the Delaware stood
before a crowded audience as the
trophies of grace and the advocates
of Jesus and his religion. Who could
refrain from feeling at such a sight ?
There was the relenting savage cal
ling for the interposition of Christian
benevolence to rescue his suffering
countrymen. There was hoard the
voice of the gospel from mouths to
which our former associations had
assigned the horrid grim of fury and
the yell of murderous resentment.—
Let Christians hence learn that their
labour is not in vain.

It was not easy to be inattentive to
the dazzling scene which expanded
in brightness before my observation,
and the frost work of the polar re
gions, supported high in nir, as if by
enchantment, and glanced upon by
the sun on a vernal morning, was not
more pleasing to the view, though
its hues were more nuraberiess and
its texture might appear to have been
woven by those departed spirits
which glide in the festive hall of
Odin. The south had never sent
forth softer hours, and on every face
there glowed a gladness, radiant as
the looks which brighten in the frag

its gravity and mixed in the youthful

the warnings of infirmity. Nothing
appeared all around but an unmixed
purity of delight, when the happy as

one solitary wanderer who lingered
behind, apparently bowed down by
the burden of affliction, and, from his
melancholy motion, seemed to solicit
the removal of his misfortunes, or the
feelings of sympathy. Believing him
to be clouded by sorrow, and that 1
the heart is disburdened by a com

to lighten his distress, I advanced for
