i i ~t [, p. F. ; t •'*. PERU. ‘ An express from Liverpool. bring ing advices from , Peru, dissipates the doubts which had been entertained' by some respecting the correctness of the dispatches received last week by way of Carthagena. Letters have been received from Lima, by this conveyance, to the 21th December, which fully confirm the A uthentl. city and correctness of the dispatches from Senor Heres to General Sonblette. The following important details, connected With the depisive events in -Peru, have been transmitted by this express. We can vouch for their correctness, as they are- founded on oOcialdocuments. The battle took place at Guamanguilla , which is within three leagues of Guatnanga. General La Sucre corn !winded the Patriot troops, Bolivar having gone to Um.' to meet the relifoi cements from Panama, and having conceived that the campaign for the time was • finished, the Royalist troops having been driven - across the Apurimac. General La Serna, however, intending • to make a rapid movement upon Lima, left Cusco, and recrossed the Apurimac, with a force of from six to seven thousand men. Upon this movement, General Sucre detacl ed General Lanrar to occupy Cusco with a body of traops. General Sucre being thus left with the, Colombian forces, amounting only to 6000 men, the Viceroy conceived it a favourable opportunity to make an attack on him, which he put in execution at Gua manguilla. He was wounded early in the action, and taken prisoner. The greater part of his -wing of the army was either killed or wounded. Very soon after wards General Valdez was taken prisoner, with the troops under his immediate command. After these re verses, General Canterac rallied his division of the army, and gained a height about half a league from the scene of action. On the dawn of the day After which the battle was fought, General Canterac seeing the total defeat which the army had experienced, and that all the Chiefs and Officers of distinction had fallen or had been taken prisoners, capitulated, with 2,500 men; and stipulated the immediate delivery of the castles of Callao, and the total evacuation of Peru by all the Spanish subjects. Accounts from Pisco, of the 19th December, state, that at the date of the last accounts, all the Royalist Chiefs were prisoners in the Custom-house of Gua tnanga. Guamanga, or Huarnanga, near which the fate of Peru was decided, is the capital of the pro vince of the same name, and is about 200 miles in a straight line west of Cusco, and as far east and north east of Canete and Pisco, the nearest sea-ports, respec tively. It seems not imi r.thable, from the details, that the sailing of the. Asia, and other Spanish ships, from Callao for some of the ports south of Lima, was con nected with this movement of La Serna, which termi nated so fatally to the Spanish army. DEATH OF MR. ROWCROFT. The following details of the unfortunate death of Mr. Rowcroft, British Consul in Pern, are commu n'c rted by the Gentleman who received the intel ligence by express from Lima, contained in • letters from that capital of the 21st of December:—" Mr. Rowcroft was proceeding from Callao to Lima on the 11th December, and was unfortunately shot by. the advanced guard of General Bolivar's army. The Royalists, at the time of this distressing event, occu pied Callao, and the Patriot forces the capital of Lima. The advanced posts of the garrison of Cal lao, with two pieces of artillery, were very near to the advanced posts of General Bolivar. Mr. Rowcroft having to cross from the tine advanced post to the other, was hailed by the Patriot troops. —lnstead of answering the signal and stopping his carriage, Mr. Rowcroft got on horseback, • and, with his servant, continued to proceed forwards. The sen tinel again hailed, but received no answer, and con ceiving, from the noise made by the trampling of the horses' feet, and the ratting of the wheels of the car riage, that the enemy, with two pieces of artillery was advancing, fired two shots, and unfortunately one of them struck Mr. Rowcroft, which' occasioned his death. Miss Rowcroft, the daughter of Mr; Row croft, was in the carriage, and returned to Callao with Mr. Rowcroft, where he expired the next morning. —lt is stated that all the authorities, Spaniards, Patriots, and English, evinced the utmost concern for this unfortunate event, which appears to have been purely accidental. General Bolivar, in particular, ap pear. to h.rve shewn an unusual degree of sympathy, and called himself upon Miss Rowcroft, to condole with her upon this unhappy event."—The letters also state (and attribute in some measure this accident to the circumstance) that Mr. Rowcroft was in the habit of riding in a military dress with a sword, by .which he was taken for an Officer of the. Royalists. Mr. .Rowcroft': remains were to be deposited at Lorenzo,but it was intended, when the new English Church was built, that the body should be removed thither. . . .. • , • -*:,,,,,- •• 1 • . ,•,:vis • . . . s • .

I ' Our different patties which, on the accession of Charles X. appeared, for a moment, to be blended to gether, now shew themselves in a more distinct and marked manner than they have done for these twenty years past. One part of our popolation begins to fear teligious persecution, and considers its worship menaced. Another part finds itself daily insulted, tin account of the nature of its property, by the most influential mem.' bers of the ruling party. " The Chamber of Deputies is, with respect to the Law of Indemnity, divided into three parties-Ist. The popular party, which resists the measure merely because it grants an indemnity to the emigrants as a matter of' right. 2d. The emigrant party, which fights both for its interests and f►►r the honour of its cause. 3d. The Minister ial party, which is interposed between the other two, and which has f. , r its chief object to retain the ad vantages of place and power. •' The great question between the two first parties is by no means a question of money. The milliard which it is proposed to pay. to the emigrants is the point least thought of. It is admitted on both sides, that great errors and great crimes were committed during the Revolution. But on which side aie the guilty? Are they to be sought amongst those who brought about and supported the Revolution, and who opposed the invasion of their country ; or amongst those who fought against their country, solicited foreigners to in vade it, and placed themselves in the ranks of fa reignarsoies ? of the tions called external griists and interial FT multitude " The EI are no the Atv 4, - ib: d'Eroles and his followers for joining the army of Louis XVIII. to restore the King of Spain to his liberty and his throne. r • • " The Opposition, on their part, accuse the Emigrants of having brought the war into France. They call to recollection the invasion of the Prtissiaa army in 1792, and its being conducted through the departments by a corps of Emigrants, who took part in all the depreda tions, and frequently set the first example for their per petration. In a word, they revive all the painful recol lections which time had in a great measure effaced. The project of law on sacrilege, which has been adopted by the Chamber of Peers, is going to be dis cussed in the Chamber of Deputies. The discussion wnich the law has already undergone establishes two facts—namely, that since the abolition of the laws on religion, none of the offenees which the Church calls sa crilege, have been committed; and, consequently, that the law was not called for by the existence of any disor. der. It proves, that the Catholic Clnrgy, to whom the law has been given, has for its object not to suppress social disorder—an offence against the feelings of so ciety--.but to punish the simor offence against the Deity; the crime consisting in the unbelief of the real presence. The first consequence which the Romish clergy draws from it is, that every incredulous person is profane and criminal. Let the Calvinists and other Protestants be ware of the power which this places in the hands of their Catholic rulers. _ . " Since this subject has been before the Public, editions have been published of books, wh►ch evince the fury of the Clergy; particularly of the case of the unfortunate Lebarre. I need not describe to you the horrid butchery of this young man, as it is already well known in Eng land. This sacrifice to the most furious fanaticis►n ►s not ancient ; several of the Bishops who voted for the law of sacrilege might have been witnesses of it. I may add, that it is a very general opinion that the young man was innocent." THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 9, 1825. STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Consols opened at 94 to i for the Account, but soon after the disagreeable news from India was known, Consols became heavy, and fell to 931 India Stock only fell about 3 or 4 per Cent.

In the Consol Market 100,000 was sold, and soon after 200,000 was bought. ~^,- = --; Chief info bstinately le- have brought the intelligence, sailed from Calcutta on the Ist of November. CALCUTTA, NOVEMBEIts, 1124. Sir Edward Paget, the Commander-in-Chief of the troops assembling against the Burmese, proceeded on the Ist instant, with a Body-guard of the Royals and the Dumdum Artillery, to Barrackpore : on giving orders for the Sepoys to March they refused, and be gave them ten minutes to consider i when they still re fusing, he gave orders to fire upon them ; 450 lay dead, and-600 in all were cut to pieces. The following is another and more probable account of this unfortunate affair : _ _ a On Sir Edward Paget's first charge on the Sepoys, when they refused to march, they gave way and a nuMber of them jumped into the river and were drowned; about fifty of them were killed, and horn forty to fifty afterwards tried and hung. Order was again restored and all was quiet. It was the 47th Re giment of Seim's which mutinied. Government:paper only fell one per cent. which is a proof it was not thought of great consequence." . We have received the Allgemeine Zeitung of the 2d inst. The only intelligence it contains relates to the Greeks and the revolt in Servia. At Trieste, it appears that a report of the surrender of Patras was current. Prince MILOSCH, the Turkish Governor of Servia, has issued a circular declaration respecting the insurrec tion, which he asserts was entirely the work of some malignant people, who were "grieved at the peace which he and the country enjoyed." He vaunts loudly his fidelity to theSublimePorte,and dwells with so much emphasis en the successful resistance he made to the " fruitless endeavours" of the conspirators to induce him to rebel, that it seems evident to us, either that he is insincere in his allegiance, .or that the power and ra mifications of the insurgents were considerable. • The French Paper77rmday contain lengthened details of the debate on Sir F. BURDETT'S motion, and fall translations of the official documents that we pub lished last week of BOLIVAR'S victories. The discussion in the Chamber of Deputies on the law of indemnity is still continued. These Journals are therefore barren of interest. Nothing of importance occurred in the House - of Lords last night; and the Commons did not sit, out of delicacy, it is believed, towards the SPEAKER, who has recently lost a brother, Colonel SUTTON. We regret that the'news of the death of Mr. Row cnorr, our Consul-General at Lima, is confirmed. Mr. Rowcnorr was a sensible and well-informed man ; in conversation he was remarkably intelligent and pleasing; in private life his character was that of a good husband and a very indulgent father. A Vice-Consul went out with Mr. Rowena?, who will assume, pro tempre, the functions of his principal.

The body was covered with some black rags, and on examining it, there were matks of violence visible on the temple and the back part of the head. The Jury ieturned a verdict of " Wilful Murder against some person or persons un known."—Another Inquest was held at the Barley Mow, Mount -street, on the body of a female infant. It ap peared that two boys were amusing themselves, sending a dog after a stick into the tierpentine River, when it brought out.a bundle, containing the body of the de ceased, whose head was dashed to pieces, and its body very much injured, the legs and hands being tied to gether. The Jury returned a verdict of o Wil:ul Murder against some person or persons at present unknown." PETITIONS FOR PRIVATE BILLS.—The following standing order on this sul ject, moved by Mr. S.
