No nation on earth in my opinion should so promptly aid a suffering people as our republic; a id 1 am of r vn that the couauct of tne aifrsT i towards t. e SpanisUvoluUorn states, cannot nieei tne approbatior of tne people; it n (foes, it is a uOnvtttClttg proot Kow soon w!,?ii in yrospiri'V) we I r get the :iavs oNxfl advetsity.

might endanger many valuable citizens ot tots neighborhood, wui appearance put an immediate stop to the march ot the royaj army. Since our arrival a number oi respectable families have migrated and etued in this vieinny as planters. 1 he country is beyond description) beautiful) fertile, well Watered) and healthy, in tact, although 1 had seen much of the western countiv be I ore my eyes had m mm never beheld, nor my imagination formed such a delightful, SUCh a desirable place ot residence, i ever is entirety unknown here) although not two hundred mites trom the .Vissiisippi. 1 he government is at present a provisional one, and will remain so until our independence i- ucknowleuged ; or all opposition withdrawn by pain. It consists of a suoreme council) composed ol twenty-one members indiscriminately chosen trom the American and Spanish population) but there a considerably majority of Amet leans This council does all the business of the stale. We have a considerable military force and a ven active militia; anu in no so wee m w did I ever see a more ordertj soldiery, or any more prompt to do their dutv ; past expeiieucf havirg sorely taught tncni tliat insubordination will not do. i he most liberal pay and a larc;e bounty in lands, is given those enlisting in the service. Persons migrate ing here to' the put pose of settling as planters or mechanics, receive as ahead-light 640 acres of land, and something in addition for each child they may have. 1 know some people will view us at fi.st glance as a military marauding prty ; but time will prove to the contrary. Our objects is to relieve the truly distressed, to establish a permanent, ftee and independent i epubtic. tVe shall want soldiers to effect these desirable objects, and the country is able to pay them w II for their serv ices. We should be highly gratified at seeing (amiiiesfiom Tennessee arriving among us the ensuing

fall and winter They could arrive here late next spring and still raise a plen iful crop. Tin most convenient rout w ould be to descend the Mississ ppi io the m u ot lied river, ascend that rivet to NatchitochcS)froin there to this country is on y fifty miles o v an excellent road. n other route is to go from New-Orleans to tialveatown and from thence here, it would be advisable for those moving to bring theii first summer's provisions ith them. They will be able to procure here implements of hus

We learn) by gentleman from Gibraltar, that the intended cxm .ition, which has been long pre pa ing at great expense at adia, for South America, has been suspendeo, in consequence el the iituii' ions desertions of t!ie okliera dissatisfied with their provisions and at not receiving their pa) Several officers w ho hail been ai rested, had escaped from confinement) and reached Gibraltar. This delay of the grand expedit

which lias so long occupied the public attention, must cause a i;rcat tensatiou in Spain, and considerable rejoicing among the revolutionists in America.
