The event answered these expectations; for, through a blind con fidence in their cavalry, the enemy charged our horse , in a situation very disadvantageous to us. The shock of these two bodies was tremendous, and at the end of the different c.niflicts, in which both patties teemed to s brain the a.f. antage, the enefri ) 's cavalry, thoragh su perior in trurn! , er and better mounted than our'::, were put into cenfosion, beaten, and d,iven back with slaughter to the files of thee, infantry, which, during the attion, had continued its match towards Jauja, and wa,' Many leagues from the field when the battle was de cided. Oar cavalry has evinced a courage which my per, is unable to express, and which can only be con ceived by reverting to ages of chivalry. 6 The se,ult of this brilliant battle has been 235 dead on the field, amongst whom were ten Chief, and Officers. More than 300 well-equipped horses have been taken. The loss on our side in killed and sounded is but 63; among the former, Captain Urbind, of the Horse grenadiers of Colombia, and Lieutenant Cortes of the Ist Regiment of the Cavalry of Peru. Among the latter, Brigadier-General i4cochea, with seven wounds, none of which ale dangers us; Colonel Carbajal, of the Horse-grenadiers of Colombia; the Commandant So. bervi, of the 2..1 divi.ion of the regiment of Peru; MO Philip Brum and Captain Petaza, both of the Cavalry of Colombia. The first and two last slightly, but the second rather severely : of the rest, few are in danger. The war of Peru wouldhaveconcluded yesterday, if thel enemy's infantry had not continued its march without ceasing at a rapid pace, and if ours had been able to fly, as we must have done to have reached them, be cause all burned with the desire of destroying their enemies. They have taken warning by experience, and their terror is so great, that since yesterday morn ing they have not ceased marching, even during the night. To-morrow the army will continue its operations, and I titter myself that I shall very soon date my communication to you from the valley of Jauja. I con gratulate you and the whole of Peiu on the success of yesterday, which, as it is the beginning of the cam paign, augurs a still more fortunate result. The land of the Incas is wet with the blood of their oppressors, and will willingly offer to the oppressed the beautiful plains in which the precious tree of liberty has arisen; '. those who have been conquerors for fourteen years will not leave these humiliated inhabitants without bringing to their recollection the crimes which they have com mitted in the times of their prosperity. His Excellency wishes that you would circulate the information among all the people and authorities of the country. THOMAS HERES, Secretary-General of the Interior.' Pilled with joy which my heart could not resist, at contemplating the fortune of my country thus con firmed for ever, I transcribe the foregoing for your Lordship to circulate to the authorities under your con troth, and that the people of that praiseworthy depart ment may know that victory has begun to crown, in a decisive manner, their incessant sacrifices; and to the end that it may bring to their recollection the singular circumstance that the same day, the 7th of August, in which his Excellency the Liberator embarked for Peru,he announced the first triumph of the Liberator's arms ; and that this brilliant victory being celebrated in proportion to its importance, may exalt the public gratitude to those brave men who have fought under the command of his Excellency, as well as those noble passions which are accustomed in similar cases, to transport the hearts of those to whom there is no greater good upon earth than liberty. " I congratulate you, as a son of Colombia, and the whole republic, for Peru is indebted to its arms for ever victorious in this heroic action. "JOSEPH SANCIII?.S CARRION. " Peruvians—Already our fortune is secure. Let us give glory to those brave men who have sealed the liberty of Peru with their blood. Let us give glory to the immortal Bolivar, who has caused the palm of vic tory to spring up horn the bottom of the precipice! Tyrants fly with fear, and find no asylum in flight. The soldiers of liberty follow, and who can escape from their valour? Intrepid Necochia, valiant Carbajal, and you, heroes, who have signalized yourselves in this memo rable engagement, you will ever be remembered with gratitude by your country, and your names will be perpetuated with glory ! 0 most glorious day of Au2,ust ! )ou will ever be gratifying to the whole con tinent of Amer ica, and your memory will ever be cele brated by future generations. Almost at the same' instant, in which several years before the hero of Co- Irnabia had gathered laurels on the plains of Boyaca— almoi at the same instant in which the year before he sailed for the first time from Guayaquil for these shores, he has now annihilated the haughty power of Spain, thrown down their detested banners, and secured the liberty of Peru." THE GREEKS. PROM THE ALI.GEMEINIC ZEITUNG OF NOV. 9. CONSTANTINOPLI., OCTOBER it. For this week past unfavourable reports have been in circulation, and Captains from Mitylene affirm that the greater p3rt of the fleet is destroyed. So much seems certain, that a new attempt upon Samos has failed, and that hereupon a considerable division of the fleet, being separated by a storm, was pursued by the Greeks, and at length burned near Mitylene. All that could save themselves fled to the Dardanelles. An Egyptian division was still engaged. The accounts of the war by land are equally dismal. The army of theSeraskier D:rvirch Pacha, which was to conquer the Morea, and to reinforce which 2,000 Janissaries were sent, was en tirely destroyed when the latter arrived. The Janissa ries immediately turned back, and left their commander in the Wick. Several of them have arr ived here, and increase by the accounts they give the general alarm. Most of the Pachas to whom the Porte has sent money for the expense of the military preparations, have kept it for their own use. ODESSA, OCTOBER 22. Acc.)rding to letters from Constantinople of the 17th inst. news had been rec e ived there that the division of the Egyptian fleet which was separated from the rest (is we have Wore stated) and which, after the flight of %I re CA Oran Pacha to the Dardanelles, on the 7th of Oc- ~.,. - tuber, had escaped destruction, was overtaken by the Greeks on the 9th of October, and totally destroyed. Of the great . combined armada nothing remained to combat, and the Greek Archipelago is freed from the barbarian flag. The heroism which the Greeks have displayed in the campaign makes an impression that it is impossible to describe, and nobody now deceives himself respecting the probable consequences of such great events. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. " The mediation of Lord Strangford having at last established harmony between the Porte and the Russian Cabinet, his Lordship embarked, on the 12th of October, for Trieste. The morning of his Lordship's Departure, the captures of the preceding 'summer were brought into Constantinople, amidst the accla mations of the Turks, discharges of artillery, and the most extravagant demonstrations of content.— One hundred sail taken from the Ipsariots, Sciotes, and some few straggling privateers, compose this unfor tunate armament, which the Turks fondly believed to be the entire Greek fleet; but without carrying credu lity so far, there are a sufficient number of well-armed vessels, brigs, schooners, and cot vettes of 12 and 18 guns, to give assurance that the Capitan Pacha was not so very inactive as the Hydra Gazette would induct us to believe. The latest news is of an engagement off Mitylene, in which the Turkish squadron was dispersed ; die parti culars have not vet reached Constantinople, but it is certain the Capitan Pacha has made his unexpected appearance in the Dardanelles, with one frigate and three two-deckers, which are now laid up for the winter. " The poor CApitan finds himself in rather a distress ing situation; if he come up to Constantinople, he may expect the bow-string—if he keep out in the Archipelago, lie has the Greeks before him, and, what is more tor midahle to a Turkish fleet—the winter. In this extre mity, he has determined on wintering in the part of Boudroun, where the Egyptian squadron is likewise stationed. The latter has severely suffered ; out of 14,000 infantry and 2,500 cavalry, more than one-half have perished from disease and scanty provender—the horses have all died. Thus has terminated the campaign of 1821.—if campaign it can be called, where there is no ' fighting. The Greeks may now be considered as firmly established in the Morea, if their disunion do not un happily occasion, what otherwise no Turkish effort could accomplish: The Divan has,no idea of making that active prepa ration which might reasonably be expected. One of the Ambassadors at Pera lately remonstrated with the Grand Vizier on the supineness of the Pacha ; the re -1 ply of the Mussulman we know not whether to admire most for its simplicity or its philosophy. 6My friend, the Ambassador,' said the Vizier, if a dog you have given bread td, turns on you, you do not leave your dinner to brain him, you know the brute is always in your power, and whether you day him to-day or to morrow, the difference is trifling, and why should we put ourselves out of the way to extirpate a few millions of Greeks ? Whether it be done to-day or in fifty years to come, it is still the same chopping after an—Gon is all sufficient. " The chopping, by-the-bye, is likely to be in full force on Fa iday next—the Turkish Sabbath. Some fifty miserable Greeks, made prisoners in the captured ves sels, are to have their heads off."

Although the success of the Independents cannot but be considered of importance, yet it has not been followed by any decisive results. There is little doubt, however, that BOLIVAR would follow up the advantages he had gained, and we may expect to bear of an action on a much larger scale, unless CA'NTnRAC should find himself so closely pushed and so unable to make a stand, that he may deem it advisable to capitulate. Files of Jamaica Papers to the sth of October have been received at the Jamaica Coffee-house,from which we extract the following further particulars: FROM THE JAMAICA COURANT OF SEPTEMBER 28. By the Rattlesnake we have received a confirmation cf the report we published on the 21st, respecting the defeat of the Royalists under General Canterac, by the Independents under General Bolivar. It appears that the action took place early last month, in the valley of Jauja, and after severe fighting, the former were defeated with considerable loss. Admiral Guise, in the Puebla frigate, with three other vessels of war, was blockading Callao. His Majesty's ship Rattle. snake, in seven days from Chaves, anchored at Port Royal yesterday, having specie on boat(' to the amount of 1.50,000 dollars. Files of Colombian Papers have been received to the 18th of August, in which there are two Decrees re garding the commerce of that country. The first is very low. the second is as follows: - " It having been provided by the 11th Article of the becree of this Intendancy, of the 26th of last July, that the Commission appointed to qualify foreign merchants to act as consignees, shall deliver certificates of such qualification to all Colombian merchants, in older to avoid limit!, and insure a compliance with the resolu tions of Government, I do provide as follows: " ARTICLE I. All merchants in this capital shall, within the term of eight days, present themselves at the howte of the Second Alcalde, President of the Commission, in order to receive the said certificates. " AnT. The Collectors of the Customs in La Guayra and Puerto Cabello shall not deliver cargoes to any persons who do not ptdduce the said certificates, after eight days from the publication of this Decree.—Given at Caraccas, August 3." FROM THE COURANT OF SEPT. 30. By the Nancy we learn that the Aid-de Camp of Ituibide had sailed for Philadelphia, in an American schooner; and that Mrs. Itni bide and her sons were to be sent to a port in Colombia. We have received 6=napers to the 26th ult. but their contents are not very important. Some very unfavourable weather had been experienced about the, 19th, which had done considerable damage to the shipping at Gil genti and the neighbourhood, consisting chiefly of Spanish and Dutch vessels. It was reported that an Algerine corsair was in the Straits cruizing against the Spanish flag, and that it had made several captures. Business was very dull at Gibraltar, and there was a glut in the market cf almost all kinds of manufactures. The neighbourhood was rather unquiet, and considerable bands of discarded soldiers infested many of the roads of Andalusia. The Gaceta de Colombia of the 29th of August, con tains a long and very curious article headed Colombia y Peru. It is a laboured defence by the Vice-President SANTA NDER who is charged in the absence of BOLIVA R with the executive functions) against the charge of having neglected to send reinforcements to BOLIVAR, in Peru. It appears that though BOLIVA R has for nearly a twelve month been urgently demanding 3,000 men, 6,000, 12,000, nay, as many as 16,000, yet only a few hundreds have from time been sent : nor would the Colombian Congress probably ever have forwarded him any im portant aid, had it not thought itself safe in the pro tection of that policy which was avowed by. the United States and in the British Parliament.

We have just seen a Gendernan, on whose veracity we can place the utmost reliance, and who only left Paris a few days since, who states the circum stance as an undoubted fact, within his own knowledge. THE MAN OF Ross.—Sunday, the 7th instant, being the 100th Anniversary of the Death of the celebrated Joins KTRIA 'Est Pores Mine of Ross, the new Society of Ringers in that town rung a " muffled peal" on the occasion. Such was the demand for that elegant and interesting collection, the Scoesman's Library, in London, that above one thou sand coples were sold by the London Publi*hers, on the first day it could be obtained. It is a monument of Scottish character, he roism, and genius, such as has never before been raised, and every tree cot will be a debtor to the ingenious Author, Dr. Abu:usu., of Aberdeen. The Dublin Evening Post, speaking of the singular discussion at Carrick-on-Shannon, between the Clergy men of the Catholic and of the Established Church, on the Bible question, and the Report of which fills nearly eleven elosely printed columns, observes— . . " The discussion, as might have been readily foreseen, termi nated in nothing. Upon the point at issue, the difference between the 'miles is irreconcileable. But the example tet at Carrick-on- Shannon will doubtleta find imitations. Thew conferences will multiply. We understand there is one immediately to be held in Dublin. In short, the country is converting•into an immense theo logical arena, and polemics are likely, for some time, to usurp the place of politics, if, indeed, they will not be mixed together, and form that delightful compound, the ferentation of winch produced such remarkable eon.etpiences iu the reign of Chaska 1." j At the sale of a Clergyman's effects, lately deceased, Ihis library was sold for ;17. and the liquors is to, celbtr for 151 ..•:.~ TUE.4TRES.

DUBLIN. PROM TUE DUBLIN STAR, NOV. T 3. Perhaps the whole history of crime in this country furnishes no parallel to the iniquitous case we now I.lv before our readers:—The criminal is Mr. J. J.

Thursday afternoon the abs . ence 01 P • a first ex cited fears that he was '4 party in the do ! emelt: of 4 neighbour's wife, a beautiful woman, the mother of three children, the youngest of which is a babe only a few weeks old l On Tuesday night, it seems, the guilty pair hired a job carriage, and fi led it with tronk, con taining money, plate, and other valuables. The Lady, Mrs. M • • • °, had not been long seated vi ith her pa ramour, when, according to the driver's account, she burst into a flood of tears, and tr i braided him with his and her own crime. They took a route which inclines 'their respective ftiends to believe that they have gone to Waterford, there to take shipping to America. The distraction of the husband of the unfortunate Lady mocks the force of language—he left Dublin yesterday morning, accompanied by some friends, in pursuit; ' and other parties ate also in quest of the offenders its various directious. MURDER AT MILNTNORP.--SIILNTIFIORP, Nov. 14. Several individuals have been taken up on suspicion, but as yet the real perpetrators have escaped detectioa. Mr. Lavender, the active Deputy-Constable of Man chester, is now making strict investigation into the cir cumstances; and from the known vigilance and skill of that officer, it is to be hoped that the parties int plicated will ere long be brought to justice. THE LATE MURDERS AT BOSTON.—Application hay ing been made from the inhabitants of Boston (that some skilful police officer should be sent fi orn London, to unravel if possible the mystery in which the late un precedented murders have been and still are enveloped,) to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for that purpose, he, with the greatest promptitude, dis patched Taunton front Bow -street, that active officer, to discover, if possible, the perpetrators of these atrocious crimes. The Secretary of State has also promised, that if the inhabitants of Boston will raise money sufficient to be offered as rewards to any accomplices, except the actual murderer, who shall discover the principal of fenders, he will recommend to his Most Gracious Ma jesty the KING, to grant a pardon to the informers. A liberal subscription for that purpose is commenced. The report of the stoppage of the highly-respectable banking-house in the vicinity of Covent-garden, arose from a circumstance of rather an extraordinary nature. An Irish labourer, who had just arrived firm his native country, was employed by one of the partners in the house, as porter, pro lempare, to direct the customers through the e-rtrance to the office, the passage being in some measure obstructed by the repairs then in progress about the house. Paddy strewed all that had business at the banking-house before five o'clock the way, with out making the least mistake. At five o'clock, the house of course closed for the day, and the Irishman was aware of it ; but in communicating that intelligence in an awkward manner, he drew upon the house such rapid demands as would have terrified other concerns. A few minutes after five o'clock, a Gentleman who had the bill of a merchant who banks at the house, to pre sent for payment, walked up to the door. The I: isii man, who possessed all the importance of a servant of the house, asked him what he wanted? and upon being told, said to him in a tone of surprise, " Wiry, then, upon my sows you can't get it. Don't you know the 'bank is stopped?" (meaning the bank is closed). "Lie last word was quite enough for the person who called with the bill. He ran off to a particular friend %a') had money in the banking-house, and mentioned that it was all up with him. The Irish stoppage was then cc:in municated like wildfire through tie metropolis, ail/ conjecture was busy in describing the causes and t: c amount. The consequence, as the public already kIIWA, was that the doors of the banking-house were rtes► morning, before nine. o'clock, crowded with the cus tomers, IA hose fears were, however, soon completelY changed into the greatest confidence. MELANCHOLY EVENT.—Tlitamiay morning, the ',Nit ultimo, two sisters, young women, ami daughters poor widow at St: athlirora, in attempting to cross fl river Brora, near Carrol, on then- way to Golspie flat Let, Invernes hire, were unfortunately drowned. When it was found that they neither came to the market nor re turned home by Friday, a se-arch was made, and they were fOund on the following Sunday in the water, locktd in each other's arms, near the place where they attempted to cross. One of the young women was just about to be married ; and was on her way to the market in conse quence of an appointment with the object of her arc• to make purdass pt ev iota* to urn wedding.
