General Vires to the Secretari/ of State. [translation.] Sir : In answer to your note of yester day's date, 1 have, in the first place, to give you the explanation requested of me, of the import of my last proposal, and in doing so, to repeat, in other words, that I am authorised solemnly to promise to this government the ratification of the treaty by his majesty, only in case the third point of my proposals be satisfied : but, as the answer given to this point lias not been such as I could, agreeably to my instruction, receive as satisfactory, 1 can by no means commit myself, by giving a greater extension to my promise, than that expressed in my note My objjct in intimating to yon, that, altho’ 1 kn*.w nothing officially, yet I con sidered as authentic the inform ition cir culating oi an important change in the government, of Spain, a circumstance which would of itself effectually prevent me from gi’ing greater latitude to my promise, wa, to apprise your govern ment, that, iS, by the adoption of the constituton o' 1812, in Spain, the pow ers of the kin; would be limited, it would no longer deraid on his majesty alone to fultii my solemn promise, admitting that my instruations had empowered m; 1 *o give such a promise ; so that my sole motive for offtVing a remark upon that topic was, to srengthen the grounds on which my proposal was founded ; and farther, to enable your government so to appreciate, m^io longer to decline as •senting to it. 1 shall, on thi^ occasion, wave all re ply to the argunqnts again advanced by you, in extenso.u^on the question of his majesty’s obligaiAn to ratify the treaty, ®nd confine mysef-to a single remark ; namely, that all h'fc authorities cited by you lay down the ?6ace and happiness of mankind in geneial, and of states and their respective pjople in particular, as n fundamental principle. And, having Jn my first note, shown the notoriously hostile diposition prevailing throughout the Union towardstlje interests of the Spanish monarchy, it Necessarily follows, that, when, the objects of treaties are not obtained, the ratification ot that of 22d February, 1819,would, in like man ner, become illusory'; and, therefore, Houses of Congress, and published in this day’s National Intelligencer, 1 have seen, with surprise, the letter of Mr. Gallatin, stating, that 1 positively told him, that “ I could in case of an arrange ment, give satisfactory security to the United States, and that it would consist in consenting that they should take im mediate possession of Florida, without waiting for the ratification of the treaty.” Although I have with all frankness prov ed in my correspondence with you, that I had no such authority, and that it will not, under any view which may be taken, appear presumable, that I made so doubt ful , so useless, and inconsiderate a disclo- re, I request, however, that you will lie pleased to communicate this to the President, in order that, by giving publi city to this document, it may be under stood that I made no such proposal, ei ther to Mr. Gallatin or to Baron Pasquier. I renew to you, sir, the assurance of my distinguished consideration ; and 1 pray God to preserve vou many vears. FRANCISCO DIONISIO V1VE3. Washington, Ili/i May, 1829. SPANISH SOUTH-AM ERICA. To the Editor of the London Globe. Don Luis Lopez Mendez, Plenipotentiary, Envoy from the Government o.' V nezuela and New Granada,(now called the Republic of Columbia), has the honor to address the Editor of the British press, and in the name of so just, so glorious, and important a cause as that of the independence of South Ame rica, as well as for the interest the British public may feel in the knowledge of the real sentiments of the government, and people he represents, he requests him to have the good ness to give insertion in his very valuable and npartial paper, to the following statement: An article has appeared in several London papers of Friday last, the 31st nit. extracted from the French Journals of 27th, referring to another from Madrid of the Kith of the same month, the tenor of which is as fol lows :—“ We are assured that the Provincial Junta is about to send Commissioners to dif ferent parts of South America with proper instructions for restoring peace to those countries. Hopes are entertained that the new republics are not indisposed to unite un der the Constitutional Monarchy. The .J- merican Delegates in London have often de clared it. Bolivi.r alone could oppose it.— But the head of the Buenos Ayres Republic will probably consent.” A falsehood though ever so improbable, may, nevertheless, from a combination of circumstances, find credit with some few in dividuals unacquainted with the merits of the subject in question. This consideration, and the circumstance of being myself one of the delegates, induced me to trespass on the public with this explanation,in order that ut person may he misled by the delusive fie tions of the mortal enemies of my country. their blood—after a ten years' struggle they haveJirmly established it. The pride, the obstinacy of Spain, may not yet be satisfied ; hut the world must Ire convinced that t people who in the first in stance, have been able so to defend them selves for ten years, and triumph, will un doubtedly triumph and defend themselves for ever. It is not easy to persuade those who have become free and independent, to re-place themsilvrs in slavery for mere sla very’s sake. if Spain preserves her liberty she will naturally acquire prosperity and happiness ; hut she cannot impart either the one or the other to South America; nothing could ever remedy the want of a centre of power, an original fountain of authority of our own. Countries of such extent thus se parated without governments of their own, are like worlds without suns. The enormous distance from the metropolis renders it im possible to have feelings or interest in com mon with it. Every European war ruins their trade, submerges the South Americans in an abyss of other evils, which can no lon ger be tolerated by millions of men who know how to exist by themselves—who know their own wants, their own rights— how to vindicate these, and how to respect those of others. The discovery of America lias produced wonderful efl’ects in the general constitution of the world; hut when we compare those effects with what will speedily take place, Ihcy seem hut as the first dawn of a glori ous day. If the Independence of the United States was an event oi such magnitude, so universally interesting, how important must the required permission : or, as It is here called chop. “ It wouldJKc you to read, and be use- sS for HIP in ptifor into innm nnriim. independence of the whole Continent, whole oftlie New World appear! Mil- mns of souls, occupying DOU.UOO square agues of by far the richest portion of this lobe, hare taken their own mighty d'-stiri- inlo their own hands—they have estab- slied governments on the best and wisest models—and they are about to give a full devclopeme.nt to their rosourses. It is a matter of no political importance to the South American Government, whether Spain he governed by an absolute. Monarch or by the Cortes ; because the same counsels hostile South Aincviea, have governed the ac- ions of both, ns will be sufficiently evident from the following observations:— 1st. The CorCs declared war against South America, and carried it on during the whole time they were in power, during which peri od they scDtarainst us about 13,000 troops, according to tile detailed Report laid before the Cortes by the Minister O’Donojti. 2d. The Unites obstinately refused even to listen to the proposals of the Deputies from South America. 6d. Tiie Cartes constantly refused the freedom of trade to South America. 4th. They twice refused the mediation proposed by the English Government, who appointed three English Commissioners for Every person in the least acquainted with history, with politics, nr with human nature, y, # t must he. fully convinced of the improbability that his majesty’s motiYfis for suspending ill it, were founded upon si competent view of evident facts. ) I shall also leave to the general sense of the reflecting part of mankind to de cide, whether the reasoning you rely on in stating the motives of the American government for proposing to other pow ers to acknowledge the revolted pro vinces of Spansh America, and in exhib iting them as favorable, not only to suf fering humanity, but to the interests of Spain herself, be not inthe highest de gree specious ; for, ifsuch maxims were to he adopted, nations cculd no longer count upon the integrity of their posses sions, or upon the maintenance of that mutual amity and good understanding Which it is equally their duty and their interest to cultivate in their relations with each ether. I have the honor to offer you anew the assurnces of my distingiushed considera tion ; and I pray Hod loog to preserve J0U ' FRVNCISCO mOSISO YIVES. Washington, Ulh May, 1820. > less for me to enter into a more particu lar detail 4f their absurd and trifling conduct with regard to this ship ; suffice it to say every thing has been done to thwart our views, and to reuder our stay here unpleasant. “ The city of Canton is situated on the north side oftlie Boccn Tigris, on low marshy ground ; the streets are so very narrow, that in many of them two persons ran with difficulty walk abreast. The houses are low, and built very close to gether ; and as those fronting the streets are U9ed us stores and ware-houses, a stranger, from seeing them, can form no idea oftlie domestic arrangements of a Chinese family. Most of the Foreign Companies have handsome and commodi ous houses or hongs built for the use of their agents ; each hong is divided into separate sections or factorioca, one of which is commonly occupied by the cap tain mid supercargo of a ship. “ It might naturally be supposed that in a city so rich and populous as Canton, there would be some public institution, some public cditices, or some place of general resort, by which a stranger might form some idea of the national taste and spirit. But, with the exception ofa few temples dedicated to the tutelar deities oftlie city, there i< nothing oftlie kind. One of these temples I was in ; it is a large uncouth building, surrounded by a stagnant pool, and contains in my hideous figures, the principal of which is that of a reverend priest, who, on account of his superior piely, was, by the special favor of the. gods, permitted to grow to such an immense bulk that he died in conse quenceofit. Yet the dwellings of the principal citizens are built with elegance, and adapted to comfort ; and the gar dens are beautiful specimens oftlie Chi nese taste. Their chief aim is to have every thing artificial, but as nearly as possible to resemble nature. Upon en uring the garden of Conseiqtia, (one of the Hong merchants,) imagine my sur prise on beholding a beautiful lake, over- dung with huge rocks and precipices, on whose summits w ere lions tigers, and o- tlier w ild animal incorrect; the city, within the walls, is not more than one third as large as the suburbs, and both together do not cover a greater extent of ground than Philadel phia, and from all the information I could obtain, I do not suppose that the whole number of inhabitants, including those who live in boats, (about 20,000) can exceed two hundred thousand. “ The ladies of this country are by no means handsome, and it is painful to behold their feet, which are not more than four inches long ; hut, as nature cannot altogether be restrained, many of these poor creatures have large projec tions behind the ancle. From this dis tressing mark of beauty, those of the low er class are most commonly exempted. “ To the polite and friendly attentions of severnl of the American Agents, and commanders of vessels, we are rnuclt in debted ; and the generous hospitality, and the continual exertions of our Con sul, Mr. Wilcox, to render our time^- grccalde, will ever command my most gratitude.—Nor were the EnglBn gentlemen deficient in their attentions to us ; for not a day passed hut we were in vited to some entertainment.” VmiYAGX. a statement of grievances experienced din- ring her residence on the Continent: _ •» During my residence at Milan, in con sequence of the infamous behaviour of Mr. Ompteda (he having bribed my servants to become the traducers of my character), ono of my English gentlemen challenged him ; the Austrian government sent off Mr. Omp teda. I wrote myself to the Emperor of A us- tria requesting nis protection against spies, who employed persons to introduce tl.i ill- selves into my house, and particularly into my kitchen, to poison the dishes prepared for my table. I never received any answer to this letter. After this I was obliged to go into Germany, to visit my relatives the Mar gravine of Baden, and the Margravine of Ba- reuth. The shortest road for nty return to Italy was through Vienna ; and I took that road, w ith the flattering hope that the Fin- ror would protect me. Arrived at Vit u- per Boston, May 10.

Lord Stewart afterwards wrote a vary impertinent letter to me, which is in Mr. Canning’s hands, as 1 sent, it to Fo* gland.

The separation from Spain of the South American provinces, was long since regard ed hy men of foresight as an event that in the course of time done must have inevita bly happened, in s|itc ofevery precaution to prevent it.

From tlie firstliscovery of America until the present timeEpaiu has had hut one ob ject in view ; tnlerive the greatest possible id vantage from Ihoso countries without in tlie least earing for their prosperity. The immense, intend riches of South America have been traniiorted abroad to gratify the idle debaucher,jof a Court, to he squander ed away in was and extravagancies. Their advancement frther than this object was an swered, w as rimessed with jealousy. They were, in fact, egarded as mere appendages, very useful ail convenient indeed, but pin ed without an pale of humanity and jus tice. Manufctories were every where for bidden, as wd as the growth of the vine, the mulberry ami.be olive. Of Itemp and flax, no commerowas permitted but with Spain and for her Ijnefit. No intercourse was al lowed between the different sections of S. America, "he establishment of academics was slrictlyproliibited, as was likewise the study of mfhomaties and navigation.
