HOT Thu accounts we this ih y lav Ip-lore our rwul»M\*, from South Amerira, nn«i ti*>m Spain, are of a very iutereslimr diameter Tim Co lombians alter a tedious Mini saiifjuinnry war, have finally aehinved their imippoulencp, ami assured the rmiiutenanee of tlm rink limy had previously nssumed among Muihni. Should they have intelligence and virt.io enough to support the republican government they have established, the glorious result a ill amply com pensate for all the blood shed in the long and arduous struggle for emaucipntioi from the mother country. In any event,their condition can scarcely be more degraded than it was un- d r tho Colonial System. I'rom Spain the informal! vi is the more plea sing because it was unexpected. Wa had be gun to consider the situation of the Cunslilu« tioimlids as nearly desperate. If the I'Ve noli do withdraw bey on a luu /».u -«ij ♦?» be their intention, the war, on their pari, will be in future rather defensive than offensive, and the Constitutionalists and ulha-ltosaliils will be left to settle their political di He rentes ns they can ; a fearful issue for the latter, whose exploits in battle have hitherto borne no pro portion to their numerical strength. But we ••pally fear this news is not to lie relied on.— N'o'hing but imperious necessity coni, induce France to make h retrograde movemert of this try number j kind, after having committed herself by her gasconading threats, and urged on and support ed ns she is by other members of the ttn-Holy Alliance. What will her coadjutors in mis chief, Russia and Austria say, whose Ministers have just delivered to the mock It’ gency at Madrid t be formal congratulations of their mas ters on Ihe aueceps of the Trench arms ? Wlmt will all the world think of the prowesa of Louis the Eighteenth, when his army of an hundred thousand men, sent into Spain for the avowed purpose of restoring to absoJute power his cousin Bourbon, is forced to retire before an inferior force of freemen, the divided and undisciplined troops of a nation comparatively weak ? V\ hut direful consequences to legitimacy may not the retreat of the French produce on the discon tented in Portugal, in Italy, and France itself, am) what a death blow to the iniquitous but persevering efforts of the Holy Alliance for Ihe extinction of liberty ? Aye, there's the rub.— These considerations will urge them on to the completion of their nefarious undertaking, and leave the Spaniards nothing to hope from the magnanimity or forbearance of their enemy.— On the other hand, it is not to he forgotten that this war must be to France extremely expen sive and disastrous. Her policy of conquering Spain by sowing dissent ion and producing di vision among (lie people, compels her to sup port her army entirely from the resources of her own treasury. She ennnot, ns Bonaparte did, prosecute war at the expense of her ene my, hy levying contributions on the conquered. To b- consistent in her hypocritical pretence of friendship for the Spaniards, it was necessary to exempt from capture their mcrciant ships, while swarms of Spanish privateers prey upon and cut up her own commerce. Tlis is a stute of things that cannot la*! long, and vc can rea dily believe, that however hard pressed the Constitutionalists may be, the Freich are not less tired of the unprofitable context in which their tyranny and folly has involved them. A portion of that intense interest hitherto fell tor the safety of Cadiz, will mw be trans ferred to Corunna.t whereQuirogt and Sir Ro bert Wilson, with the troops undft their com mand, arc besieged by a strong division of the French army. There has been some severe fighting before, this place, and several accounts concur in stating, timt tho besiegers have sutier ed'groat loss. With such officers r» Quirogu and Wilson to animate them, the garrison will doubtless do their duty and resist to the last extremity. Wo hope and b< Jieve they will succeed in repulsing Ihe assailants. Of Quiro- ga it is enough to say, that he commenced the revolution at Cadiz, being then but a Colonel in the army, and that lie hut recently spurned the artifices of Murillo, tho traitor, (who wish ed to make him an accomplice of his treason ) j and look charge of the faithful soldiers who scorned to participate in the treachery of their genera! The character of the gallant Brit-m, Sir Robert V. il on, is better known to our read ers. His exploits in the former peninsu.ar war—the generous exposure of himself to save the life* of Lavalette, condemned to share the fate of the brave but unfortunate Marshal IVey —his uniform love of liberty and opposition to tyranny, have given celebrity to his character, and gaim d him numerous friends and admi rers in Europe and America. He indeed is the very “ pink of chivalry.” Terminate as may the conflict between liberty and despotism in Spain, the disinterested patriotism of Sir Ro bert Wilson in giving aid to the Constitution- abstain their greatest need, should immortal ize his name. The discomfiture of the French at Corunna, or any decisive advantage gained by the Spa niard* elsewhere, might, we should imagine, have a most important bearing on the result of the content In the war with Napoleon, the Spaniards were divided, as at present ; the country was overrun, aud apparently conquer ed ; the g eat body of the people remaining nil the while listless and strangely indifferent diameter, he will he elected President, and limits uf the Toiled States Imt for about I they may “ I id a lung, a long i.trwi II to all montha, when he we carried out hy his fa rwv.- Assuredly not.

The man- mu in which this idea was conveyed, and the idea itself, are surely not those which ice should have adopted. But it conveyed it ihe time the sentiments of all partie? in Georgia—for upon that subject there was no division of opinion among her eil'zens.

Mr. McDuffi e hy his arrogance and in temperate crimination hasjustly incurred the charge ot being -‘ „ J.dse hearted demagogue," a characti r vv Inch tve nvosi si twenty and re ligiously imprecated—and let us now see what jus'ideation his humble imitator En- q'lir, t will s,-t up hy way of extenuating his guilt ? 'Where was lie and hi? father during the revolution or our subsequent struggle with Great Britain? Were they front rank soldiers at the battles of Princeton, Tren ton and Germantown ? Are their names recorded among the wounded at Camden, Brandywine and Saratoga ? Were //,,,/ pro digal of their lives on the plain* uf Chippe wa ? Did t iey grapple with the murderous tomahawk of the savage foe at Autossee or the river Raisin ? Or, did they share im mortality with tho HeroofN. Orleans in the ever memorable 8th of January ? If not, then Enquirer and all who are similarly cir cumstanced, must he proscribed as unwor thy of the people’s confidence. But he. triumphantly demands—what is hi? (Col. Troup’s) origin ? It has been stal ed that he is the descendant of a respectable merchant who emigrated to this country in 1779-90, and wassltoitly after naturalized in this state, and that'his mother belongs to the highly pali iotic and chivalrous family of the McIntosh’s. And now pray, Mr. En quirer, who is the illustrious founder of your noble house? Does tradition relate that von sprung IYhiii the loins of l i -?ar, Bruce, "the British Arthur nr the Danish Canute ?” Dues your tnini.y escutcheon hear the lilies of the. great Edward, and liis still great er son ? Or have the better lutes re served to you the envied fortune of calling As to Col, Troup’s being the tool of a fac tion, as it is very classically set forth, I would inform Enquirer fur his satisfaction, that he acknowledges himself to he the adherent of hut one party, anti that the old republican party of the United States, with the princi ples which they carried into office in 1801, and none other; priori pin non homines is hi? motto. And iu addition to directing the im mense resources of our state to the great and important objects of internal improvement, I fain hope this correct and highly gifted states man will labor much to get hack to those pri mitive republican doctrines vv hich vve have left far behind. I am not unconscious that our opponents find it convenient to cant about the necessity of burying into forgetfulness the old distinctions of party, and proclaim that a brighter day of a more liberal policy begins to dawn upon us. Foe my part, 1 distrust and utterly disbelieve then preten sions. They who can soberly look back upon the past history of our country and re ly on the professions of tile federal parly, do at once approbate their past conduct and encourage their future success. As for us, vve contend that the time has arrived, when the “ line of scarlet thread should he hound fast in oor windows.” And we call upon the republicans of this great republican state, to do their duty to themselves, to their par ty, and to their country.
