The confused and contradictory de tails of the-conflict between Spain and her revolted colonies havo so obstructed the channel of correct information, that we are unable to form the most remote conjecture of their relative situation. This stale of uncertainty, which has marked the progress ofthe contest, naturally de taches a considerable portion ofthat inter est from .the struggle, which it v. ould otherwise excite. No matter in what ca. se the sympathies of tire heart may be enlisted, the moving principle loses* imperceptibly its interest, as long as the object continues to be enshrouded in the gloom of falsehood apd conjecture. It is owing to causes like these, that wc generally turn away with loathing' from the silly and inflated accounts, of the Revolution in Spanish America, with which our papers abound. We have now before us an Article from 'Caraccas, which States that the civil war in Mexico has completely terminated, through the influence of a general amnesty granted to the Insurgents by Ferdinand—that, Galzada, a Royalist, I tad gainod -a com plete victory over Pnuz, who lost 400 men killed, 500 prisoners, 9000 horses, and all his camp equipage. The ac counts from Curaccoa, appear equally favorable to the Royalists, staling the entire discomfiture of the Patriots at Guira. Advices from the Patriots, on the -other hand are diametrically oppo site—claiming advantages equally as great. Such is the complex and dis tracted view we have of the state of things in South-America—from which the public mind can gathir nothing satis factory or conclusive. MUledgeville , Nuv. 18. The proceedings of the Legislature are beginning to assume an interesting aspect. Many important subjects, (as will be seen by reference to the synopsis, in -this day’s paper, of what has been done) are under consideration. Other measures of equal magnitude, are in an incipient state, and will be brought for ward as soon as they can be matured.— A spirit of harmony being generally che rished by the members, unmeaning polit ical distinctions, which disgust the ear and pall upon the mind, have found no resting place among them. All are equal ly emulous to serve their country—all vie with each other in zealous endeavors to promote the public interest: And, from the wise and liberal policy by which many are governed, we indulge with confidence the hope, that the present session will constitute an rcra in the le gislative annals of the state. The passage of the bill in Senate, to prevent the circulation of unchartered notes, produced an animated discussion, the substance of which will be published in a future paper, being prepared for the press at too late an hour to be inserted in the present number. That bill, a copy of which we subjoin, is now before 1 *- House of Representatives, where it will probably be acted on to-day.-— -Journal.

Legislature of Georgia. SENATE. Thursday, 13 th November. The joint committee to enquire into the expediency of encreasing the sala ries of the officers ofthe state, made the following Report, which being read, was ordered to lie on the table, to wit: “ In executing the delicate duty which has been assigned to us, your committee are not unaware of the difficulties atten ding it. Deep rooted prejudices exist a gaiust the measure; and a laudable jea lousy on the part of the people, renders it always unpleasant to their representa tives to propose an increase of pay to the officers of government. Necessity only should authorise, or can justify such a proceeding: and your committee having duly consiAwed the subject, will not shrink from the responsibility of declar ing it as their decided opinion, that at this time it is absolutely necessary, that some further provision should be made for the functionaries of the state. Your committee would be wholly a verse to such an increase of compensation, as might enable the incumbents to amass large fortunes from the public treasury: but it cannot be denied, that where the serv ices of an individual are required to be devoted to the state, a salary com mensurate at least, to the comfortable support of himself and family, should fc*v. gWcn. Thai such is not the case at rr-1 settt, is fully clcmonsUatnl i,y daily cx peri«nce. Men of the lis si talent* sui* respectability arc compelled to retire from the public service, oniy because a just regard to their domestic concerns imperiously requires it of them, itistruo that persons can always be found to fill the public offices, at the preset salaries: but it is not true that the best abilities of the country arc brought into operation by them. Patriotism enough does exist, to make the compensation but a secondary consi* deration with many, but ought a state to require that the best of its members should be rained in the service of their country ? Economy in government rigidly under stood, consists in such a liberal applica tion of the public means, as will insure the able and faithful performance of it* duties: if it falls short of this, the desir able end is not attained, ami that which was intended lor economy di generates into a ruinous parsimony. ' But if the present salaries, ever were sufficient, it is evident that (hey cannot be so now; every article of subsistence ha,?, doubled and in many instances trebled in, value recently, insomuch (hat what might have been considered heretofore as an adequate compensation to the %icers of the government, is barely a pittance at this period of time. Your committee therefore fee) no he sitation in recommending the adoption of the following resolution by the Legisla*- ture— Resolved, that it is expedient, to in crease the salaries of the officers of the government.” Friday, 1 4th November.
