L'
FRANCE.
Paris. Jan. 18. There is no
war spirit here; the prominent
subject of interest is the new c
Icction of deputies. It takes
place soon, and the ministry are
using their efforts to procure an
election favorable to the crown.
This cannot fail of -coming to
pass, for this election occurs at
the moment (always propitious
to an administration,) when a
successful war has just termina
ted. In addition to this, all of
ficers throughout the empire
have been oflicially notified,
that if they do not vote for the
ministerial candidates, they will
he deprived of their places.
The certificates which are neces
sary to be offered at the polls,
as evidence of qualification to
vote, are to be furnished by offi
cers appointed by the crown,
who may reasonably be expect
ed to extend the elective fran
chise as far as possible in favor
of the ministerialists, and to
withhold it in the same degree
from the liberals. All this rs
understood, and the Constitu
tionel, the ablest paper on the
side of freedom, discusses the
matter with great plainness. It
seems that France, as well as
the rest of Europe, is reconci
ling herself to a long arctic
night of despotism.
SPAIN.
Jan. 27. The state of politi
cal thinsrs is far from beinsr set
tied in this country. Except
in Cadiz, Barcelona, Corunna,
places occupied by the French,
no one can live, as the most
malicious sort of persecution is
earned on by the servile party.
There has been no variation in
the ministry since the one form
ed by Heridia; but by the death
of the Marquis de Casa Irujo, a
new person has got into his
shoes. His name is Calomarde,
and his appointment has dis
pleased those who thought libe
ral principles were gradually
gaining ground with the go
vernment. The number of Spanish emi
grants which have passed at the
behobie is more than 70,000;
yet the people continued to
emigrate.
SOUTH AMERICA.
Advices have been received
from Peru of the 26th Dec.
The defection of Riva Aguero,
had prevented the President
Bolivar from opening the cam
paign, and he had been obliged.
in conformity with the resolu
tions ot the Congress, to em
ploy force to put down that fac
tion. On his Excellency's ap
proaching the troops destined
by Aguero for the invasion of
Lima, one of the officers of the
latter proclaimed their union
with the legitimate government
of Peru, arrested R. Aguero and
Gen. Herrera, who commanded
their army, and delivered them j
up. In consequence of this the !
4000 men composing this force!
were united to the main body,
and an end put to the intestine
discord that threatened the de
struction of the free portion of
Peru.
Accounts from Bogota, the
capital of Colombia, of the 22d
Jan. contain a full confirmation
of the revolt in Peru, of thi sei
zure and banishment of its lead
er Aguero, and of the prosper
ous state of the patriot army

mand ot Bolivar. I he thrice

Our impression is, that the de
