ON MCHULLO’S CONQUEST, -»»is TfiUE INDEPEiOBESOE OF SOOTH-JKMyiUeA, fitC, ; New-fork, May 31,1816. . Messrs. Editoro—*The subjoined reflections Wve been drawn from the account of Genera Morille’s exploits in Santa Ffe, Oirft an far as they go, wilt perhaps throw some light apcr the seemiqg importance of that victory. * With out regard to the relation given by men, who never speak the truth, it is verf strange that the report of th» brilliant march has been de layed twenty-eight days before its arrival at Morflio will not have defeated in his Guayra. march the abends of insurgents;” he will have seen them approach and fly: that is to say, the inhabitants of Santa Fe, guided by their expe rience, and incited by bis local situation, have discovered that his want of discipline promiset •them advantages only in apartizai. war. With their excellent horses and exact knowledge the country, theywill retire from their enemies, leave them without resource, and in the ent will conquer them, Morillo, who has been a highwayman in the Spanish war against the French, knows and will fear this new system o'' the Santa Feciqians: ere lone they will make him tremble for the progress of his “victorious army?* 'The “insurgents” only wait for a fa vorable moment for vengeance, and it will be ’proportioned to the cruelty of their oppressors Scarcely arrived Morillo at Santa Fe, (without saying where are “the numerous bands o troops,”) when he assures us that the territory is tranquil, the inhabitants sincerely attached to Ferdinand, and he does not believe that {he troops are. necessary for their fidelity. What little penetration has the assassin Morillo! . ant what great confidence does he repose in the persons who hung the public functionaries in the commencement of the revolution^ who or ganized dnd sent armies with the avowed ob ject of conquering Caraccas and Quito; who -have declared themselves independent of the Spanish nation, and who have witnessed but from a little distance the inhumanity of the royal army in Mexico, Carthagena, ana Carac cas. He has ordered that a‘great part of his army return to Venezuela, and has sent SOOQ men by Panama to*Lima. His army has 8000, and we see that in this division he announces Santa Fe. to be delivered up almost upon the “fideli ty” of its unfortunate inhabitants, who, if ’ mistake not, are long since resolved to spil their blood a thousand times ere they will sub unit to the sceptre of Ferdinand. W‘e may cal culate that Morillo saw the impossibility of gar risoning, and submitted the province to the “fi delity” of its inhabitants, or that he has return ed defeated ito Venezuela, or flying to that from defeat, relates great victories to disguise his real situation. Only in this manner can he ar rest for a little time the explosion which threat ens Caraccas and Carthagena;—‘the proclama tioas and executions of the Spanish emissaries manifest the storm to be gathering. It is pro bable that the royalists of Guyra nave publish ed a false proclamation with the intention to deceive general Bolivar, who is now actively Engaged against that country, and who will test to greater effect the “fidelity*’ of its inhabit ants. , What road will the 2000 men sent to Lima taker The Pacific is commanded by commo dore Brown; and if this patriotic gentleman does not give them a passport, they will stay in Panama, ''it is scarcely necessary to recol lect, that the regiments of Soria and Estrema- dura destined to prevent the insurrection of Tuparaara were reduced, by the climate of Pa nama and arrived at Lima mere skeletons, be cause it, is obvious that the liberty of Soatii- America will«be established only by eventua success.

Patriot. MRS. JEROME BONAPARTE. of the Under the foreign head it is stated, that Mr. Patterson’s daughter is at Paris, for the pur pose of attempting to recover by legal process part of her former husband’s estates. We have great doubts as to the correctness of the lajtter part of the account. Mrs. Patterson, as shb is now called, obtained, as ouri-fceaders may j re member, from the legislature of Maryland, an act of divorce from Jerome. Under the reign of Napoleon the marriage was declared null ac cording to the constitution of the empire. Fi nally, foe husband acquiesced in this decision, by espousing the queen of Westphalia. Hence, yiM imagine, that any attempt on the part of his first wife, (who had voluntarily sought a de- vprce,J to recover any part of his property, pecially as he is still living to assert his rijght, must be utterly futile; and we do not lieve she has undertaken it.
