II The scandalous excesses which ■ receded, accompanied, anil fol- Jllowed the establishment of the de ll ratical constitution ot Cadiz, in ■the month of March 1820, have ■ been m ade public and known to all ■ im . subjects. 9 q*he most criminal treason, the ■raoat disgraceful baseness, the most ■ lionible offerees against mv royal ■ ■jerlou— these, coupled with vio ■leude, were the means employed to ■change essentially the p Vernal gov ■eminent of mv kingdom into a dem ■ocmtical code, the fertile source of ■disinters and misfortunes. ft jyjv subjects, accustomed to live ■undtr wise and moderate laws and ■sue! as wore comfortable to their ■writers am! customs, and which, ■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 |roiv.erris, it was not possible to re |stor order or justice ; and they |coclJ not obey laws established by ■perfidy and treason, sustained by ■violence, and the source of the most |<ireadful disorders, of die most des ■olafwg anarchy, and of universal ■calamity. ■ Tie general voice was heard ■fromall sides against the tyranical ■tonsilunion ; it <:pbeil for the ces- Hsaiioi (T a code noil in its forma ■tnn, and unjust in its principle; it lullfi’ for the maintenance of the Hsarr-d religion of their ancestors, ■for the re-establishment of our ■hi-mental laws, and for the pres ■ non (if my legitimate rights; Bi; s which 1 have received from Br. r tors, and which mv sub ■t-.tsj have solemnly sworn to de ■fend. ft I'iiis general cry -T the nation was Biot faised in vain. ■ In all the provinces armed corps ■vere formed, which l-mgued them* ■dvtjs against the soldiers of the ■constitution ; sometimes they were Hconquerets ; sometimes they were ■conquered ; hut they always re ■nnineil firm to the cause of religion ■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 ■sons of rebellion, the nation in gen •ral was religious, monarchical, ■sod passionately devoted to its le ■gitimate sovereign. I Ihe whole of Europe,—well •ware of my captivity, and of that ■ofall the rojal family, of the de ■plorahle situation of my loval and ■ aithful subjects, and of the perni •ious doctrines which Spanish •|;ents were disseminating on all ■hides resolved to put an end to a ■Mate of things, which constituted a ■common reproach, and which men ■ated with,destruction all thrones ■; lm ancient institutions, in or ■• erto substitute impiety and prof ■‘igr.cy. * ■ 11 ancc entrusted with so sacred c 'iterprize has triumphed in a ■ * months over the efforts of all Mtk! • Cls ol the world collected for r®!f rv of Spain upon her clas* ot fidelity and loyalty. ■;,/r a, *S us t and well beloved cous ■k e . ,‘ e d’Angoulemc, at the ■<ir *l° 5 T a * ,ant : *vniy, a conquer ■i v ‘ rou ßbovn all my territories, ■Vhirk S f CM * et me * rf,m the slavery in I f'ued, restored me to my constant and fail f.l subjects. Replaced upon the throne of St. Ferdinand hv the just and wise hand ot Providence, as well as bv the generous efforts of :ny noble al lies, and the valiant enterprize of my cousin, the Duke D’Angouleme and his brave army, desirous of applying a remedy to the most pressing necessities of mv people, and of manifesting to all my real will in this, the first moment of mv recovered liberty, I have authoris ed the following Decree : Art. 1. All the acts ot the gov ernment called constitutional (of whatever kind and description they may be,j a system which oppressed my people, from the 7th of March 1820, until the 21st of October 1825, are declared null and void detail ing as I now declare that du ring the whole of that period I have been deprived of my liberty, obliged to sanction laws and au thorise orders, decrees and regu lations, which the said government framed and executed against my will. Art. 2. I approve of everv thing which has been decreed and order ed by the Provisional Janta of Gov ernment, and by the Regency, the one created at Oyarzun, April 9 the other May 25, in the present year, waiting meanwhile, until suf ficiently informed as to the wants of my people, I may be able to bestow those laws and adopt those measures which will be best calcu lated to secure their real prosperity and welfare, the constant object of all my wishes. You may commu nicate this decree to all the minis ters. Signed by the royal hand. B. VICTOR SAEZ. Pori St. .Vary, Ort 1. In another decree—His Majesty or dains that, on his journey to the capi tal no individual who during the exis tence of the system styled Constitu tionel, has been a deputy to the Cor tes in the two last legislative sitting-s shall present himself, or be within 5 leagues of the route to Madrid. 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 vernor of Figueras, San Miguel, in which he complains of the defection 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 rns, and Rotten. A treatv is said to he already con cluded between France and Spain, by which it is agreed that the re duction of the Spanish American Colonies to legitimate authority, is to be attempted. The nnv Pope. —Cardina Della Genga was elected Pope on the,27th of September, and has token the title of Leo XII. He is an Italian. He was Nuncio during 14 years in the electorates of the Rhine. 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 state that the Colombian govern ment have settled on Bolivar, SoO,- 000 per annum, as President. The Colombian forces including a 64 and lrigate from Cumana, were bombarding Porto Cabello. The Russian consul at Boston, has brought an action against the editor of the Boston Galaxy, for three several libels, one ol which was published in Sept. 1820, one in Nov. 1821, and one in Nov. 1823. It is stated in the Boston Palla dium that there were sixteen con victs baptized at the Massachu setts State Prison , on Sunday week bv the Kev. Mr. Colter. Wednesday, Dec. 3.

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.
