This article ia too voluminous for our limits toil iy, bin We Shall lay it before the public as Boon as possible. V E R Y I M PORT A XT N E WS, Erm the Kingdom of Mevf-Qrenada if Carthagma, its provincial sea fiort. SAMANO lately named Vice-Roy, and residing at Santa i e de Bogota, the capital of the kingdom, officially lias communicated to MoutaWo, the Vice Kov of the said kingdom, exercising the f unctions of said office until the aforesaid Samano, his successor, may assume the Opomrnand ; that it is impossible for him longer to sustain the kingdom alter having sent a division to the Plains of "asanare, which was completely destroyed bv the Patriots ; only the commander of the same and 17 soldiers escaping, a Second one was immediately afterwards dispatched to said Plains and only ifs ciiief St two drummers could escape from this still severer loss. Vlorillo writes that he is about to execute the officer who commanded a division, that shamefully retreated from three hundred Independents, when those of his own consisted of five thousand men. In Santa ft a woman was about to be executed in consequence of their naving been intercepted a detailed statement ot the Spanish troops, which were in said place, and which she had fo warded to the Patriots in Casanare. Brigadier upini and a Lieutenant Coionel had arrived at Carthagena, the

iv remains of tne defeat at Margaritta,

and ,aifl thai taev were on their route for poru the former to take the command as g neral. On the 6th October last, was taken the province of Pampeluna by the Republicans, and Where the Spaniards were completely defeated This news Is confirmed by' a seargeatit thai has arrived at Cart.iaena. who was wounded in the said action. In Caithaena they were collecting a donation for the purchase of provisions, ot every description, to be in readiness in case a sei;e should be established by the Patriots against said city. On the If th of November and almost every d iv sinc e that period, three Placards were put up in different parts of the city, demanding the heads ot Monlalvo, Torres, the Governor, and that of Cano, Judge Advocate of said place. These Placatds are supposed to have been stuck up by the soldiers and subalterns, among whom there was a general discontent. Patrols were constantly employed in parading the streets, in order to take down these Placards. RECENT XI' IVS FROM THE SOUTH Sh.A. Bv a gentleman lately arrived from Quays uil and Panama, I am informed by him, in person that the army of Chili, in Juiv last, disembarked at Africa in lat. 18 25 s. to unite themselves to the powerful armies of Buenos Avres, which had already entered the kingdom of Peru ; and t At the Royalist army in Safe province hd capitulated to the Patriots and niat in consequence ot" this glorious triumph, all the armies Were on their Inarch for Lima. Case, the former capital of that kingdom, had already become independent, which excited great al u m in Lima, its modern capital, which it is generally believed here must have fallen form since. The ports of Lima and Ouayiquil,are strictly blockaded by the Patriots, who. it is said, have upwards of ei jhty teasels of war ; among which are frigates, brigs and other smaller cratt. 3Kot a single vessel has arrived from Lima to Panama since September and it is positively believed thai the immensely lucrative commerce which has been car fled on between this island s the Pacific (). ran, has now drawn to a ciose. for ti e Independents armed vessels hate even m ared in front of Manama on the 94th of October ; and it is suppos d the Patriot ilag will float in triumph from the Cape Horn to the northermost point o( Venezuela, within the spare of six months.

S.r I have just now received a letter from Wm Harris, esq. of Telfair, containing the painful intelligence the massacre of Mr. Daniel Dikes and his family, by a party of Indians on the Santilla, 40 miles from Telfair court house.

I have ordered a detachment of calvalry to that frontier to pursue the Indians as ar as practicable. A detachment of col. Wimberly's regiment ofinfantry will be sent down the Flint on the Indian side, towards the big bend, with orders to reconnotter the Country, and arrest to attack any parties found in that quarter.

In the mean time the Portuguese captured a ' rivateer rig, after 15 minutes close action, btloni;m to Buenos Ayrcs. This so much exasperated the government of Buenos Ay re 8 it was generally believed they would detain one of the above ships, which was already liberated, but had not s died; but while we were at Mont Video, the above ship, in company with all the Portuguese squadron, arrived; but the result was not know n; the prevailing oppinion was, before those vessels arrived, that war between the ! OrtUgUese and Buenos AyreanS would certainly tajegplac. The Portuguese are making great preparations tor the def nee of v onte Video. They are very close, y blockaded by land by Gen.

" The polhh al situation of this province is, I conceive, pretty security established in the minds of the impartial, to be republicans, so that there is nothing to apprehend as predjudicial to the cause from either external or domestic enemies. Cnili, we ail know, has been conquered from the royalists, by a republican army, under General San Martin from this place, who from its situation had the power, and exercised it, to place in the chair of a state man, though a native of Chili, whose political opinions he knew could be made subservient to the vie ws of this government It can therefore, be looked upon in no other light that, that of a colony governed bj a delegate from this province. Ti is accounts lor the frequent conspiracies that are made against the ruling party, as well I I lor the impoverished and unsc tth d s' tte of h. which is caused by the huge military force that it is found expedient to maintain, to keep down the spirit of affection that is constantly manifested for the Carrera party. We have no late accounts of the patriot cause in Peru ; the fast we had waa very favorable, and stated that the royal army was retreating tow anls Lima, before the republican en. BrLOHANO from this place, who had several partial actiona with them, in all Of which he had put t! em to the route. The Portuguese and ( ieiM ral All IO s, have ot fate bee n erv inactive, having little or no skirmishing. The former possess Montevidoe, with very little ter-w ritory besides ; the latter all the not the- n and western part of the province, and in this situation, thev have remained for fo !' some months p.ist. Some say this is owing to the Portuguese shortly intending to evacuate their hold others they are only waiting for reinforcements that arc expected from Rio Janeiro, when they will make an attack on AnTlOAt, In wh'u h case I am ot opinion that they will, from his manner of fighting, he put
