Extractor a letter from a young Ken tuckian in South America, to his friend in Lexington, dated Lima, March 1, 1817. “The splendour of the palace of the viceroy in tbii place, is not equal to what 1 had expected to find it; but the magnificence of the churches is far be yond my powers of description. On the altar of one of the churcliefy called La Merced, it is said, there are gold and silver to the amount of no . less than a million of dollars. «A crown piece to the Virgin Mary, in another church, cost thirty thousand dollars. Churches, con vents, S.e. without, number. There are also some other edifices of considerable size, but all the labour, riches and taste, appear to have been spent upon the churches.

The earthquakes of any degree of severity, do not happen oftencr than once in every twenty or thirty years, but what they call Imre tremblings, arc almost as common as rains are in Kentucky. There has been one of these since my arrival, and it was taken notice of with about one half the concern 1 have seen excited on a farm in the United States by the Hying of a hawk over a hen roost.

It is somewhat amusing to, observe with what diligence, ami even eagerness, Newspaper-Editors are catching at eve ry little circumstance to giatify their readers with something like an editorial repast The present lepose ol the -.voi lii, and ihe consequent decline of party con troversy, have deprived them of a fruit ful source for this kind of amusement, which hitherto afforded ample scope for their luxuriai fc Ho little public regard is now manifested for the changes ot poiitic/d sentiment, that any thing served up in this form is certain to prove an unsavory dish; and even a re volution in old Connecticut seems scat ce ly to elicit a passing paragraph; whilst those who have lately dealt out these things with as little respect to the pal ates of their readers as the Doctor mix es the nauseous potion fi r his patient, fjeems now to mourn, like Alexander, that, there remains nothing more to con tend for. The President’s tohr is worn thread-bare, and ceases to. ale>jrd further topic for their anxious pens; and, to add to the lamentable desideratum, the uric at aquatic serpent appears to have - with drawn himself from the admiring gaze «f the multitude,as if unwilling to contri bute further materials for their specula tive im. iterations. Indeed, there seems to be nothing left for these meagre gen try to feed upon, but the mere skeleton; of party feeling.

In relation to the policy of the United Stales, in her conduct towards Spain and her revolted colonies, the political wiseacres of (he day appear to he mm it at variance. W e are told by one, if we involve our neutrality in the contest, shall draw down upon cur heads (lug vengeance of alt Europe—that we had better adhere to the solid political max iin of our departed Washington; act justly ia our dealings With all nations, hut en tangle alliances with none. This senti ment, we presume, they supposed was predicated upon the facts, that moral principle never controulcd (lie policy of monarchical governments, unless as tire abused agent of sinister designs—that neither divine or human laws require us, as tang as our rights continue to be respected, to offer ourselves up as polit ical matftyra in a paroxysm of enthusi astic folly—that under one government, an squal legal controul should be exer cised over all, and when an act of injus tice occurred, the constituted authorities were both morally and legally bound to conceit it; but that this obligation did not compel one government to redress the abuses of another. If it did, t hat ifc might shrewdly be supposed, sufficient materials would soon be furnished to employ the facetious gerius of a second Cervantes. That,in fine.it is not absolutely necessary for us to make a practical erm-- mentani upon the fable of the fox and. goat. On the other hand our government i? told, if she docs not assist the struggling Patriots, she will be denounced as a traitor to liberty, and an enemy to hu manity—(hat the emancipation of Span ish America would down our na tional greatness and prosperity upon a solid and permanent basis, &c. &c.— Thus is the government dictated to and threatened, by wr the people— and like a tender and indulgent parent, she re ceives it all in silent and humble mode ration • We have very strong reasons for pre suming, however, that our government believes she has the privilege of mark ing out and pursuing for herself, tli.lt course of conduct which she may con ceive most just <s* expedient: and that s ic' will not consult mure than 50 news pa per Editors on the subject. We wish it to be distinctly understood that we Jo not assert this as a fact—it is merely ». favorite hypothesis that has just obtrud ed upon us; and we hope we may be allowed to indulge it. -—-c>:€&:<%»: FRCJIG UR CGJtRESFCXnEXr fkrf.hax gazette office. 7 Unit more , Sept. 52.". > It is already known, that in Caesar A.
