FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
We have been favoured with Buenos Ayres papers to the 17th of Nov. The people of that place and vicinity have embarked on the "tempestuous sea of liberty," but are resisted by the inhabitants of Monte Video, and many places in the interior. The revolutionary spirit has shown itself in most of the Spanish Colonies. The following Paragraphs we extracted from the papers.
Buenos Ayres, Nov. 17.
Lima is in former agitation, & the Viceroy is full of fear. Santa Fe, Caracas, Cartagena, Peru Bello, and Quito, have licked Buenos Ayres. Cochabamba offers us 20,000 men. Potosi denests its intendant, and the Council resists all his iniquitous plans. The people of Salta have received with joy the representative of our Junta.
A letter from Gen. Belgrano, dated Mohn.ra, Oct. 29, relates the particulars of an attack he had made on the 17th on Cat-gaits, which lasted from 10 A M to 2 P M when he thought it most proper to desist and retreat for reinforcements.
The Provisional Junta has dissolved the Junta of Commission, which had the controul of the Army: and have appointed Col. Antonio Belgrano, General in Chief; Col. Juan Jose Viamont, second in command; and Lt. Col. Jose Eustoquio Diaz Velez, third in rank; however dependent on Signior Don Juan Jose Castelli.
New troops are raising and articles collected for their equipment. Valuable donations are daily received from the inhabitants.
In consequence of the inconveniences experienced by the blockade of Buenos Ayres, the government of Monte Video, have ordered the mountains to be planted with seed and cultivated.
