Paris , Feb. IS.
Every arrival from the Weft-In
dies announces the continuation of
unexampled horror and Cts of cru
elty in Spanifli America; and eve
ry account concurs in dating, that
the civil difeord rages with una
bated fury. The retaking of a
town by the Spaniards, is now a fig- j
nal for the indiferiminate murder of
its inhabitants; and thus we fee
that Boves, the opposer of Caraccas,
on entering Cumana, put the men,
women and children to the sword.
What will be the end of these re
peated massacres, and what will be
the date of the country when they
are over f We have often shed the.
tear of sensibility over the conquest
of South Columbia. What will
our children fay, when they read
what is palling in the 19th century,
and in the face of England, who,
in fonts measure, stands as the
worty umpire of the world f This
is a war of brigandage, the stages
of which, eye witnesses fay, pofteri
iy will suppose as fabulous These
horrots are even increased by their
repetition theSpanifh prints of Mex
ico, Cadiz, &c. but the misfortune
is, they seldom meet the eye of the
public ; yet from what is going on
in Spain, we may infer what they
are on the other* fide of the water.
In Mexico, Venegas by a public
’ decree, ena&ed that “ all the insur
gents were to be instantly (hot, and
only allowed time to fay a fliort
prayer;’* and even a lieutenant
I commanding only 25 men, was au
! thorifed to execute this decree.
The consequence has been, that
( thoufamJs of Indians and Creoles
! have been put to the sword in cold
; blood in exactly the fame manner
!as the Cortes did. Calleia in
formed the vice roy of Mexico, that
in the affair ot Acolco, in which he
loft one man and two wounded, he
put to the sword five thousand se
duced Indians kneeling for mercy!
The feme general in Guanaxoato
put fourtenn thousand old men,
women a;J children to the sword,
and destroyed the city, because
tire inf urgent army had there ta
ken up its quarters, but by a re
treat had escaped his fury. Gen.
Ofuz, by a public decree, imposed
death on whomsoever “ fhali have
in his poffc-ffion an axe or a final!
knife,” —and adds, “that every
town fball be decimated, and every
tenth person shot, where any inter
.courfe has been had with insur
gents, even though it has been be
tween father and fon.’*

Valenciennes , March 26.
The communication with Brus
sels appears to be interrupted -
The Hanoverians who are on the
lines, permit Frenchmen to pass in,
but will not allow them to return.
The Generals do not appear to
rely on the Belgians; they place
them in the rear, and put the
Ilanovereans in front.
All the Belgians who have serv
ed with the French army, retain
their ancient attachment to the
Emperor. Long live Napolon is
heard in all the villages, and many
have already joined the French ad
vance posts.
Lille, March 27.
The Prince of Mofkwa, (Ney,)
is expedited here to-morrow, to take
command of the army of observa
tion in Alsace. The duke of Al
bufera, (Suchet,) has left us'to day
for Paris Before his departure
he expressed in general orders his
approbation of the garrison and na
tional guard.
A story has been going the
rounds in our junto prints, copied
i from an Engifh paper, that Bern.
parte in his younger days “ made a
league with the . devil” which he
forfeited bv universal toleration of
a |
religion in his dominions, and his
fall was in consequence of his be
traying the cause of his friend.
Whether the league has been re
newed or not, is not yet afeertained:
but one thing is as well authenticated
as the story, and that is, that he is
now in a fair way of “ playing the
devil with bis enemies.”—Balt. Pat.

AGRICULTURE.
£/* If the certificates of a great
number of intelligent and respect
able Virginia Farmers can be cre
dited* a difeovery has been made
there by a Mr. Hall of Cumberland
county, (a native of Ireland) which
promises to be of greater utility than
all the improvements in Agricul
ture within the last century. It is
asserted that, by Mr. Hall’s
plan of cultivation, for which he
has obtained a patent, he can raise
fonr times as much Corn or Tobacco,
from an acre of land as could be made
by the old plan , with one fourth of
the labor, and that the land, under
his system of culture, will continue
to improve, although planted every
year in Indian Corn. Strange as
this may seem, more than twenty
refpettable citizens who are practi
cal farmers declare it to be true.—
The plan by which he works these
wonders is not unfolded to view,
because perhaps it might injure the
value of his patent right, the use of
which he is new vending through- j
