dreadful reprisal*. The Greek patriarch ha*

not restrain them. The most blood-thirsty

CAPTURE OF LIMA.
Aew York, July 3.
The brig Lady’s I>. light, which arrived
here yesterday afternoon in 17 days from
Curracoa, lias brought ihe Fdiior oi the Na»
tional Advocate regular files of the Cura
cva Curtant to the 10th ot June, containing
the highly gratifying intelligence, that Lima
had (alien into the hands ol the Chilians.
The particulars of this great event ate con*
tamed in the Orinoco Courier ot the 14th
April, a file o' which had been received at
Curacoa by the Conor ot the Courant, who
states that ihe Tall of Lima was preceded by
a -ignal victory obtained at Uri by the troops
ol Ceii. San Martin,ovei the Spanish army,
under vice king Pezuela, where the latter
lost 1000 slain, JbUO prisoners, and among
them a general of distinction, the count of
Orelly.” We entertain n» doubt as to the
accuracy ol this intelligence. Previous ac»
counts prepared us (or the event, and v.e
confidently anticipate (rein it results ol the
grea test magnitude, favorable to the entire
emancipation ot South America, and the to*
tal overthrow of the power ol bpain.
By the same arrival, we have a cwnlirma
lion ol the te-occupaiton ol Caraccas and La
Cuayra by the royalists, who reentered
without any opposition by the Patriot troups.
One account stales, that Ben. Morales or
dered all the women and children found in
the place to be put to the sworu, which the
Cditor oi the Courant thinks very probable,
considering the sanguinary churacter of ihe
man. Both parties appear to have been con*
ccnlratmg their forces, previous to a goner.I
engagement, which was expected soun to
take plat e and lo decide the late of Colum
bia. This accounts for the patriots with
d‘ awing tt.eir forces I ruin Caraccas, and odi«*r
places adjoining, without exhausting their
strength by contending lor their possession,
winch they will again obtain without a strug
gle, il they prove victorious ;n the approach
lng battle. They a.ill occupy Maracaybo
und Cnro with a force ol 60u0 men. \\'e

The Ohio and Kentucky paper* represent
the pecuniary embarrassments of the people
in their respective stale* a* truly deplorable.
That we were taiten by surprize by the sud
den and unexpected change in the posture of
affairs within the Iasi year or two, and were
unprepared to meet «'»e premature ah.»ck
which we experienced in our pecuniary con*
ctrns no one will deny; but that it should
ever have entered the heads ot grave iegisk
tors,— nr n who ought to possess tome know
ledge oi political economy, that the evils
com plained of could be cured by Ic ' islali'M
interposition was tru.y wonderful, ami was
regarded by every refleciiog mind as visionary
and preposterous; Yet, notwnhstanding this
policy was so palpably at variance with ho
plainest dictates ol common sense, and >u re»
pugnant to every ptiuciplc of honesty anil
justice, the Legislatuies of Ohio and Ken.
lucky have been zealously employed in estab
lishing Jiutihs founded upon paper capita!,
and in passing Stay Laws, Rtopeily anil
Replevin Laws without number, with a
view to alleviate the distress ol the people!
ana what has been the consequence ? Tha
people have been plunged into lenlold deeper
misery a depreciated currency and a total
loss ol ail continence between n an and man
aie u pari of the many evils which have been
entaileo upon them by the unwise and incon
siderate measures ol their rulers. In the greac
zeal of these sapient legislators to pro.ect .ho
unfortunate debtor, they have lost sight, aiio.
geiher, ot the honest creuilor !—He, it
would seem, has no rights, and is unworthy
of any consideration ! !
How greatly ought the people of Virginia
to prize the wisdom and firmness of their
Legislature in refusing to stain their statute
books with such wilu, visionary schemes, as
have d'sgraced the state* of Ohio and Ken
tucky. \\ e ardently hope (hat they will
persevere in their wist and honest ciui-ef
and continue to merit, us they richly deseive,
the gratitude and thank., of their constituents.
From the Lexington Monitor.
The dissatisfaction wo anticipated, in re<
lilion to the bank oi the Commonwealth, al
r**udy begins to display itself, Meetings of
liie people have been bold in several pails of
ibr state, with a view to induct the governor
to call the legislature, because, ills said, the
new batik bus not produced the gt ml elje.cla
it was intended to product , but it is tinits
lor the people to lie undeceived. They caii»
nut sit still and call for reliti, and at the
seine time pay oil their Cebu, ana recover
their former prosperity. It is cot ol tho
power of the Hunk ol '.he commonwealth,
anil even c{ the “omnipotent’' lepis uture it
self, to make something eui ol nothing, or to
render those man independent who are in
volved in debt and do not take the pioper
Cour-e to get out of it. The time, we trust,
is not yet come, when those who «re in deat
are to be unsolved from payment, by legisla
tive acts, or when bank paper is, in violation
ol the constitution, to b> made a leeal lea
der. , “
We do not distinctly understand what is
the object of those men who urge an imnie*
diata call or the legislature. L»o they wish,'
as hat been intimated by some, that tba
country should be deluged with more baok
paper? If they do. let them look at our
present oondiiion, with a circulating medium
nearly 50 per cent below the specie standard.
Aie tbtsf into so ignorant ot poliuct.1 tco
nnmy as rot to perceive, that an increase of
the quantity would only diminish the value of
the bank r.oiea in circulation, and that llieie
rapid depreciation would aeon sink them lis
nothing rnd throw them cut ot circulation
entirely? Do they know likewise, that the
existence ol a paper medium in, which the
people have not confidence, and which is not
convertible into specie, bus a direct tendency
to throw gold anil silver and their cquiva
lints cut of circulation, and to bring distres*
and roin upon tho country? Our condition
at present is most alarming, Yv hat man is
willing to lay by, even for o single week, tho
very be l bauk notes which are in current
circulation among us.— 'i’he farmer rcceivea
for his produce the Irarh which is called mo
ney, and the merchant is con.pi llen to take
ii,orhe can obtain no’hing for hie goods._
What then can he do with it? He cannot
remit it to his Eastern correspondents for
more goods. He must sacrifice one halt of
it, to convert it into specie and Eastern
funds. Vet some men would urge the issu
ing of more papei! The only effect of so
mud a siep would be, to hasten the destruc
tion of the whole, and quickly to reduce
the quant ly ot our mrcu ating rr,ert;um to
the amount of icul monty in the country.
Or is it the wish of those men to procure
the passage of a property la a.’, with may en
able them to ream their real estate and oth
er propeity, without being compelled to pay
tfeir debts ? They should tecollecl howev
er* that creditors I avr rights as well ss debt
ors, and as almost every man in the coinmu
nil) stands in ti e former as well a* the lat
ter relation, such a measure would he littio
calculated to pro.iuce eflcc'ual or general re
lief. 'I o 58y nothing of the constitutionality
or justice of such a scheme, i: i« bctitr, lar
better, as a mere matter of ex periiency, tor
the man of large property to pay his debts e
ven at the sacrifice of all lie i» worth, than
for the }Oor raechstic, sort industrious
tradermen, to bo kept out of Iheir just rices,
and to sec their neighbors living in splen
dour at their expence.
Some perhaps arc in (avor of a suspension
of executions or some further measure of
procrastination. I>ut, we ask, what benefit
would result from it ? Do they expect sos
pens tm to succeed suspension, to as to pre.
vent tie collection of debt* altogether, cr da
they think that, under such a system of pro
crastination, they would be belter able lo pay
their debts a year hence, than they aic at pre.
scut.
We do not undertake to »»y t,,at ’oma
improvement may not be sugges/'d in our
execution laws, but w» are confident that
no legislative tet can remove the pressure,
which wc at present dsplorr. Things must
he left to take their own coune. Industry
ard crprotnv must bo universally resorted
