important News-termination of the
Armistice.
Ad vices of a recent date, from the
Spanish M* in, have arrival at JPhil-(
adelphia ? and by the official intelli
gence jmblisbed in the Aurora, we
learn that tlm Armistice com luded in
November i?>i. between the Presi
dent, General Bolivar, and the
alist, General Morillo, has iioi lieei.
jfermitted t6 run the stipulated term ol
six months^? *-lii March Bolivar gave
notice to General La Torre, w lio had
succeeded Morillo m the corn m ami
of the royal army, that the armistice
w as to l>e considered as at an end,'
and of course tli'i war recommences
on the 28lh of April, forty days af
ter (lie notification, according to one
of the articles of the treaty. This
<s annonuced in two, proclamations
addressed by Gen. La Torre to Uis
amy, and to the inhabitants of
* araccas. ? l ie, as a matter of course,
accuses Bolivar of bad faith* atul
that he has been induced to the rup>
tore of the Armistice, inconsequence
of the reports and misrepresentations
of bad men, or in more intelligible
language, that the inhabitants o(
( 'araccas have intimated to the Pre
sident an anxiety to be relieved from,
their royal oppressor?, and their
solicitude for the arrival of the lie*
publican troops in their city*
. This we believe to be the fact, J*et
not the ground upon wllfcli Bolivar
has thought expedient to terminate
the armistice.-*- The truth is, jfie
Hoyal authorities liad violated that
treaty in a variety of ways, and par
ticularly in keeping the Spanish
squadron at La Guyra in tlie teeth, of
an express stipulation.? OF the suc
cess of the Patriots in the coming
contest w e entertain not the slightest
doubt, and that every man in this
free country must wish them com
plete success is not less certain.?
We look with confidence to see the
whole of the New, a bright exam
