Affairs of South America. FROM LATE LONDON PAPERSAccording to .ctters from Spain nearly the vrhoie of the Spanish cavalry, to the number of 2000, (another paper says 2 1 000) were about to assemble in VndaJusia It is added that they were aboui to embark 3 or 4 0 at a time for South A nertca Another articie states that ll men are to be taken by lot from each regim nt of the line in Spain. Sc the whole force t uts assembled, amounting to about 60v0, it is said will be sent to South America. Whatever may be our sentiments respecting the st ugles for Independence in Spanish America we shad neither countenance rebellion on the one hand, rio despotism on tne other. As however, Great ritain is in State of amity with the several powers of Europe, it becomes her to be careful thai no measures are adopte ! i i tms country inconsistent with Our amicable relations The fo owing facts are therefore particularly entitled to the notice our rulers. A s iip called the fwo Friends, is now Lying at Spithead on bo ird of which are npw irds of loo English officers who are avowedly joing to support the independents in South America. i here an1 we are assure! agents for these independents now in .ondon nd at Portsmoutn, who promise to all Englisemen who are disposed to join their Cause, one rank hi cr than w hat they held in the liii ish service These officers are also promised g 2 O each an their arrival on the Spanish Main to defray their passage We hear besides, that 5 ships are now fitii ng ou- in London supposed to be for the same destination. W have no doubt but Ministers will act discreetly on this occasion but we deem it our duty to submit the subject to tlieii attention. Fr vi th S in , Jun 1 4.
