SPANISH AMERICA, BALTIMORE, Oaober 1. By the fchr. Dalh, capt. Auftin,27 days from Laguira, we have accounts from South America to the 2d of Sept. We have been permitted to ufe the Carraccas Gazettes of 3 lit Aug. U 1ft of Sept. from them we give the official account of the revolution at St. Fe, which took place on the 19th 8c 20th Aug limilar to that at Carraccas of 12th of April. This caufed great rejoicings at Laguira, kc. The Gatette fpeks of this event in terms of enthufuftic exultation. He fays, the 19th April, Sc 19th Augft are days propitious to the glorious caufc of Ferdinand 7, when an infurmountable barrier was erected againft the ambition of the detefted Bonaparte; a barrier which, with the fpirit of liberty, aidd by the friendfhip of G. Britain, fhall extend from the fliores of Venezuela to the interior of Peru. The official account was publiflied with all fpeed by the junta of Carraccas. Cnpt. A. adds, that an Englifli veflel arrived at Laguira, whofe commander informed that the Spanifli iflanders had declared the main in a (late of infurrection, that cruizers were fitting out at Portorico, &c. to blockade Laguira, Cumana, Porto Cavello, &c. and declared their determination to capture all veficls bound to or from the blockaded ports and difhi&s.

PICTURE OF EUROPE. Ten or fifteen years ago fomething like a republican or democratic fpirit was prevalent, not only in the official pretenfions and varying conftitution of France, but in the politico! character of the times. A great and rapid change has taken place. Defpotifm lias gained twice what it loft by the Fiench revolution. There is not a republic in Europe, thr very name of the people is buried in oblivion. In England, the great concerns upon which the p fiions of the nation concentrate themiclves, are intrigues andcabals cf princes and ininifters to fupplant one another, and the prices of feats at the play houfe. In France, and the reft of Europe, king making and king breaking, orders of chivalry, and difiolution of marriage ; waflicr women princefles, and jacobin grubs, burft'hg into butterfly princes, dukes and counts confi riptions, oppreffion grinding people into foldiers ; foldiers forouting into fultans ; upflart fultans wollowing in more than Afiatic luxury, and an iron harrow tearing up the bowels of the nations. This is the picture of Modern Europe. KNOXVILLE, Sept. 22. By a gentleman jtift from the Mobile country, we Icarn the following facts : About the middle of Auguft, orders from the iecretary of the war department arrived the pofl of for: Stoddart, commanding col. Kit hard Spuks to detach two commiflioncd officers, four non-comrniffioned and twenty privates, to form two companies for the purpofr of exploring the country between that place and ilighwjifce, taking a furvey ot the diP.ancr, and learning every particular they poiiibly can, refpecYmg foil, growth, water, &c. Cipfain K. P. Gaines, who has form?r!y been employed by the government on fimilar excuriint, we underhand, takes com wand cf cr.r cf the parties. Tlii: jenUc-

He follows the dividing ridge between the watcis of tho Bigbyand Alabama from thence to tho ridge which divides the waters of the Black W arrior or Tufcaloofa, from thofc of Coo fa, and puifues this laft until it is loft irt the great dividing ridge between the waters of T enneflee and Mobile- from this laft he is to ftrike the HighwaflVe, afcend it to the! laft boatable point, crofs the ridge dividing the Highwaffefrom the Counafago, in fuch place as will afford the (horteft and beft portage to a boatable point on the latter front this laft point he commences the longwiftV cd lor furvey of the Alabama. At this place the captain is to be met by the fecond party who purfue from the Alabama tho common path to Highwafee thro' the Creek; and Cherokee nations. What officer wilj conduct the fecond party, was not learni when our informant came away The parties wert to ft art about the firfl of September from Fort Stoddart.
