9 q*he most criminal treason, the

■ ■jerlou— these, coupled with vio
■leude, were the means employed to
■change essentially the p Vernal gov

■ocmtical code, the fertile source of
■disinters and misfortunes.
ft jyjv subjects, accustomed to live
■undtr wise and moderate laws and

■doVl’gso many ages, constituted
ft., Welfare of their ancestors, soon
lav-i public and universal proofs of
■disapprobation and contempt of the
■mw constitutional system. All
■clashes of the state experienced the
■mischiefs caused by the new insti
■tutidns.
11 Ttranicallv governed, by virtue
land in the name of the constitution
■secretly watched in all their private

|coclJ not obey laws established by
■perfidy and treason, sustained by
■violence, and the source of the most
|<ireadful disorders, of die most des

■calamity.
■ Tie general voice was heard

Hsaiioi (T a code noil in its forma

lullfi’ for the maintenance of the

■for the re-establishment of our

Bi; s which 1 have received from

Hconquerets ; sometimes they were
■conquered ; hut they always re

■and of the monarchy.
■ Their enthusiasm, inthedefence
Hos objects so sacred, never deserted
■(fun under the reverses of war,
■and preferring death to the sacri-’
■ lte of those great benefits, my sub- ‘
Beets convinced Europe, bv their;
Bdelity and their constancy, that
• though Spain nourished in her
■Worn some unnatural children, the

of my people, I may be able to
bestow those laws and adopt those
measures which will be best calcu

and welfare, the constant object of
all my wishes. You may commu

A letter is spoken of which Mina
wrote on die 12th of last month, two
days after the landing of the column
which were taken at Llers, to the go

which took place, and exhorts him to
be true to the cause of liberty. As to
himself, if he should be entirely de
serted, he will still remain faithful to
the oath he has taken ; he also states
that he can answer for Milans, Llobe

FROM PERU.
Accounts from Callao to the 21st
July, state that the royal army un
der Gen. Canterac, suffered ve
ry severely in their retreat from
Lima, from the attacks of the Pat
riot cavalrv, which succeeded in
taking a number of prisoners and
quantity of baggage, m'ost part ot
the latter being the property pilaged
from the people ot Lima by the
Royalists troops on their evacua
tion of the place.—Patriot troops
were embarking daily lor the pur
pose of reinforcing the expedition
to the windward, which it was sup
posed would in a short time increase
the army sufficiently to beat* dow'n
all opposition in that quarter, and
enable the Patriots to take posses
sion of several towns, nearly equal
iu population and resources to that
of Lima.
Colombia. —Late accounts from
Laguira, received at New-York

NEW-YORK ELECTION.
The result of the election in the State of
Ni'W-Vork been anxiously looked for, as
having a considerable bearing on the Presiden
tial <jiiestion. We Hre enabled lo lay it before
our readers, und congratulate them on its be
much more favorable than could have been
anticipated. The election has generally been
warinlv contested throughout the state, but the
triumph ot correct principles appenrs to be
complete, os the following extracts from the
(N. V.) National Advocate will show :
The State safe .'—My a slip from the
[Albany] Argus office, we have re
turns from a majority ot counties
throughout the state, and have great
pleasure in assuring our readers that
the regularly nominated Democratic
Tickets, decidedly in favor of Caucus
Nominations for President, has al
most every where succeeded. Suffolk,
Kings, New-York, Dutchess, Schenec
tady and Montgomery, being the only
counties where opposition to the regu
lar nomination prevailed. The
northern and western counties are
all safe, no excitement in those coun
ties appears to have prevailed. The
little flurry in favor of Mr. Adams
was only perceptible on the borders of
Vermont, and one or two counties on
the Hudson ; to the North and West
he will have no support. This settles
the State, as to its attachment to the
systems and discipline of the Demo
cratic party, and the majority of both
Houses will be yet greater" than we
originally contemplated.
After giving some particulars relative to the
election in each county, it adds :
It thus appears that we have the re
turns of the election of Seventy-Nine
democrats regularly nominated and
pledged to support regular nomina
tions; discreet, sound and firm men,
in whose hands the destinies of the
party are safe. The twenty-sir are
federalists, Clintonians, Burritcs and
stump candidates.
Out of the 21 members yet to be
heard from,we venture nothing in sav
ing that 19 will be of the regular nom
niation. We shall therefore have nine
ty-eight democrats in the Assembly,
and twenty-eight in the opposition.
Notwithstanding the decided language of the
above, we find accounts in papers of diflereiit
political sentiments, which give (piite another
colouring to the subject. W e would not tax
the veracity of any of the editors, knowing
how much nieu may dilfer in matters of opin
ion. Not having any other means of informa
tion than papers wanulv attached to the diher
ent parties, we give tluir statements, of w liich
the public can judge. Vie will, however, haz
ard our opinion, that the real truth lies between
the extremes of the ac • m.its ([noted.
The N. York Spectator says ;
As far as we have heard, of sixty or
seventy members of the Assembly
elected, not more than twelve or four
teen, and we think not more than ten,
will, under any circumstances support
Mr. Crawford ; and there will not be
twenty-five Crawford men in the
House * * * In all cases where
there havebeen two tickets, and where
the presidential question was agitated
the Crawford candidates have been
defeated by triumphant majorities. *
* * * YVe repeat it—Mr. Craw
ford, at present, stands no more chance
with the great republican party of N.
York, than General MTntosh of Geor
gia does.
Y esterday evening the body of Wm. Holley
was found about a mile and a halt below this
[dace, near the river. He is supposed tig have
frozen to death on Saturday night last while in
a state of intoxication, lb* belonged in the
upper part of Twiggs county, where lie husa
family.—He was aged about 36 y ears.
The schr. Industry, Llufrio of
Haiti more, on her passage from St.
Jago, Cuba, for Bordeaux, was
boarded, oft Cape Nichola Mole,
during a calm, by a piratical schr.
manned with blacks, which robbed
her of specie amounting to §922,
part of which war, freight money,
and the captain’s property, all the
clothing on board, muskets, pistols
spy glass, fowls from the hencoop,
and small boat. During the plunder
they tied the captain and mate, and
lashed them to the schrouds, threat
ening to shoot them it they did
not discover where the money was ;
they then took the long boat out,
and menaced them ol giving it to
the people, and destroy the vessel
with them, the two chiefs on board.
They said that a few days before
they*killed 3 men, and discovering
the money, they fired a ball at the
Steward’s head, which luckily
missed him—all this time they had
on board the sloop two of the schr's
men as hostages—after they had
found the money, they hung the
mate by the neck 3 times off the
deck, and left him almost dead.
