This day was PubliSbcd, in zso. pricz is. or 91. per dozen for to blockade Guyaquil ; and thus, in time of profound peace, hostilities are committed against us, by which . our ports are closed, and our commerce interruptel. 46 It is now about two years that the warlike pre parations in Peru compelled the Governmlnt to main tain considerable forces on foot in the south of the Re public. The people, oppressed with the weiOst of contributions, had hardly begun to breathe after their exertions to procure independence to the State which now seeks to proyoke them to war. To hope that Peru will desist from its projects would be useless, after late es ience: To seek sitistaction at the moment that the enemy attacks us wit.' arms in hand, is to expose our• selves to the contempt of the nations that surround us. What should then be done ?* 6 6 Our own security, the tranquillity of the Republic, national honour—every thing, in fact, requires that we . should speedily arm for the defence of oar rights, and against the aggressions of 'Peru. It is invain that we 'have attempted negociation : our enemies 'sem tohave made that a means whereby to sow . distrust among us, by endeavouring to separate the interests of the people ' from those of the Government, and to increase the griev ances they had previously profes4ed. To msintain the troops we have on the frontiers, is to injure the agricul tural and other interests cf those provinces; to disband them, would beopening the door to Peruvian invasion, whilst we should have to remain quiet spectators of the conquest of Bolivia, and even afford new means against ourselves. The wisest policy, then, is to carry war into the territory of the enemy, before we suffer him to do so on ours; and the only alternative thtt Peru has left us is to declare war against it,. and to teach it !iota to respect the rights of its neighbours. 4 . Such an alternstise is doubtless a terrible one ; but national interest and honour require its adoption, it the same time that it will prevent greater evils. The Go. vernment has hesitated much ; but. et.nfitling in the patriotism of the Colombians, it has decided for war, in the conviction that they will display the same serenity and energy—the same belt -dm , tson, which in times of greater difficulty have secured us the most glorious successes. We have at the head of the Government the President Liberator, the man who has conducted us through the more imminent dangers which have formerly threatened us; and we must not doubt th tt t'.e Goo of justice, which has hither to so openly protected us, will continue to bless our eff,rts, and to prepare for us new triumphs:* . • MESSRS.

In a letter preceding this I informed you of the pre carious situation in which we were placed by the threat of war on all sides. believe I told you we had escaped a scouring from the Swedish squadron then at anchor in this roadstead ; but that I felt persuaded the sum mer would not pass away without a visitation of that nature. The storm has already burst and passed away; it is desirable, therefore, to relieve the anxieties of our friends by au assurance( f our safety. On the 22d of August the squadron of Naples hove in sight, consisting of three frigates of the largest class, two corvettes, one gun brig, one schooner, four bomb vessels, and eight gun-boats, under the command of the Baron Sozj Carr ata. On the failure of an attempt at mediation, the Neapolitan colours at their Consulate were struck, as a declaration of hostility, which was followed up on the part of the squadron by . an attack in the afternoon of the 2341, when they sent us a few flights of shells, sonic of which fell in the streets, and through the houses in the town.. The fire was returned from the batteries, and continued for about two hours. •In the mean time the Christians had` fled to the shipping. The rose n 'was chiefly occupied by the military, and the country by 40,000 Arabs, threatening such vengeance on the Christians as they might be enabled to inflict with muskets• and knivessi On the 24th and 25th the operations of war were sus• pended by strong gales of wind, from which the refugees on board the merchant vessels suffered so much, that many chose to land at the English garden, and incur, as they imagined, a precarious protection against the ferocidus Arab, rather than be subject to sea-sickness and the hazard of tempests. On the 26th, 27th, and 286, a series of actions was fought at a very great-dis tance, which lasted about four hours each day. The Tiipolitan line of defence, consisting of the batteries, flanked by fifteen gun-boats, returned a fire of rockets, shells, and shot, with such good interest, that although the Neapolitans invariably kept at a great distance, some of their boats were struck, as were also some of those of the Bashaw, but without injury to the crews In these actions 396 shells were thrown, of which not above ten reached the town after the first day. About 50 or 60 rockets were fired, and upwards of 4,000 cannon-s h ot by the Neapolitans, who, instead of taking up a close attacking position near the batteries, which it was ex• . petted they would have done, merely put one frigate and a brig under weigh, which were opposed by a sinaU schooner and a brig of ten guns, who exchanged broad sides at a distance and without effect. Finally, when we rose on the morning of the nth, in expectation of witnessing a renewecTeffort, we were astonished to find the Admiral under weigh, at a great distance, with his gun and mortar boats in tow. Al. ready (the enemy not having been heard of since) the Bashaw has fitted out his corsairs to swoop upon the mercantile flag of Naples ; and his Highness declares' that he will not make peace without being paid 500,000 dollars, and receiving indemnity for the expense of the war, together With an annual tribute of 10.000 dollars. The consternation among the Christians was great in deed, but much to the credit of this wretched Govern ment, although . 6o,ooo men were under arms, not the slightest injury was offered or insult given. The Neapolitans suffered, how greatly we know not, but we could see some of their gun boats in a sick ing state, towed out of action. The Tr ipolitans Wanted but a good cause to merit the commendation of Europe tor the bravery and skill of their defence. What issur prising is, that they did not suffer the loss of a oath except four, who were killed by the bursting of a mor tar, and the charging of a gun without stopping the vent. The following article is extracted from a Supplement to the (Jacek .de Colom6i4 of the 4th July, and is sup posed to be the official exposition by that Government of the pounds on which war has been determined on against Peru: 41 Ti ke documents we publish ought to raise indigna tion in the breasts of all those who have any regard for our national honour, exposing, as they Jo, the conduct pursued by Peru in return for what that country has gained through our services. Happily for mankind, history does nor, to the ;resent moment, furnish in lances of a conduct equal to that of Peru. It would be superfluous to recapitulate the sacrifices we have made, and the privations to which we have exposed ourselves, in order to enable our neighbours to ob- I raid possessiokof ,their tights. They are written in the finest pages ichich record the contest we have been 'staged in during eighteen years, and it would be difficult to meet with,acts of a more perfect dir interestedness than those-which were signalized dup. ing odr persevering efforts in Peru and Bolivia What has been the reture_ mode to such exertions? That the world as well as ; posterity may appreciate and hold in all the execration,whi4esuch acts canuit tail to excite in geoerous minds, we shall rapidly enumerate the series of grievances with which Peru has sought to provoke us, •and to hasten g rupture with a country towards which, with singular perfidy, it continues to profess fraternally sentiments of friends!iip and alliance. By disseminating corruption, it seeks to demoralize an army which till now have passed as models of virtue and subordination. Not content with subverting disci pline, it arms our soldiers against their native country ; and by means of intrigues and seductions, it induces .certain individuals, who have proved unnatural chit. dien of their country, and who, relying on perfidious promises, have sought to detach from us our mai. dional 'provinces. So far have been divulged l ifie projects which occasioned the treason of the thirddiii. sion, and so conclusive has been the evidence as to its alio, that we think we may be permitted to dispense with the task of adducing proofs for what no one doubts. This attempt was followed by the expulsion of our di plomatic agent.' We have authority to state that there leas not the slightest cause forthis insult offered to the Republic, and that neither the smallest fact or most tri vial document could be produced in justification of so 'Manifest a violation of national rights. Not having :Imitated to trample on the laws acknowledged by ci vilised nations for the better regulation of their reci procal relations, it has been found still less inconvenient to infringe the stipulations contracted between Peru and Colombia, for the mote especial observance of their friendly union and the defence of their independence. Iry virtue thereof, Colombia dispensed with all kinds of precautions, and the only returns it has yet exacted has been in requesting that the Peruvians, who, according to explicit stipulations, wete to replace the vacancies caused in our ranks b y the enemy in the course of the war, should be received in exchange for the Colom bians, who had assisted in the recovery of Peru, and who made loud "complaints against the disloyal con duct of the Peruvian Government, and the unwilling. ness of,the competent Authorities at Lima to pay them their arrears. 40 We will not speak of the insults offered to several of our Officers, who, sent on important missions to Peru, were exposed to all kinds of outrages and vexations. " Continuing the system of machinations against our peace and prosperity, in the enjoyment of which Co. lombian interests were so deeply affected, our very sol diers in Bolivia were raised against us. No one can doubt the part taken in that business by the Government of Li ma, after the proposal submitted to the Peruvian Con greys by Mr. Mariategui, to declare war against Bolivia ; a proposal which was not then acquiesced in, because it was submitted that the mutiny in question had been merely among a few soldiers, and was insuntly quelled. Nevertheless, what was not deemed convenient to be done at that time, was reserved for execution at a more favourable opportunity. Nu sooner was General Ga mma made acquainted with the insurrection of the 18th of April, than with protestations of the most dis interested intentions towards the people of Bolivia, he introduced himself, at the head of bis troops, into the heart of that Republic. Another corps was at the same time, raised in the southern departments of Peru, under the orders of General Lamar. The navy received orders GALE AT THE CAPE. Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope, 17th June, Me. Captain Armstrong will be able to give you the de tails of the disistrous northerly gale which we have just experienced; but yen a ill not, perhaps, he displeased to receive a written account from your old friend,though a landsman. The gale commer.ced on S .torday night, and by four o'clock on Sunday morning the Washing. ton, of London, Captain B. Bourke, was on shore on the belch, opposite the Atlitary Hospital. Site was full of water, had lost her rudder, and most of her seams on the starboard side were open.. At seven I got doweito the beach, and saw her crew safely landed: She is thirty years old, and was formerly a Jamaica,paelset. , Stie lies on the saga', nearly dry at low water, tind is by smile expected to break up. At two on the same day (Sunday), I saw the Ada, of Bristol, cut and run for the beach, close to the Castle, a ith loss cf heeruddet.-. Crew saved. She soon, however, roiled her topper of. and is nearly dry at low water. The sea, they say, was as high almost as it has ever been in t a ts bay,:and terrible surf broke over the old Jetty and the Cattle walls. The slip at the Post Office was washed away, }rid came on shore at the Jetty; part of the yard of the shambles was washed away at the same time. lathe evening the gale and the sea moderated, but increased in the night, and yesterday morning (Monday). between six and :even, the Importer, of Londrn. paned and came on shore very near Vie rein ledge of rocks, a little beyond the Walsingliam. I got to the berth at halt past seven and saw the crew landed safe in the La. mask. The Importer is not dry at lOW water, and it is feared that her bottom has soffe.ed, as she was heavily laden. During the day all the vessels in the bay, with the exception of the Coventry and another, drove ex. ceedingly, parting their anchors, cables, &c. The Kerswill has carried away her windlass, and is now (Tuesday) off the heal of the Jetty. The Henty is far to leeward; and if the gale had lasted a few hours longer she would have gone, and all on board you'd have perished with her. This morning, at about eleven. the Orange Grove slipped her cable, and came on thore at the Castle, between the Ada and the Jetty, striking all the way, and a tremendous surf breaking over her all the time—crew all safe. So on the small extent of beach between the jetty and the military hospital lie four wrecks, the Ada, Importer, and Orange Grove upright, and tire Walsingliam• on her beam-ends. I was on the beach the whole of Sunday, yesterday, and this morning; when the gale ceased, at about noon, a squall if rain coming on at the same time, put down the swell in a few minutes. During the whole of this disastrous gale, no assistance whatever could be given to the vessels naafis. tress. A whale boat well manned, did reach the Kers will, and brought a letter from the mate to Captain ' Armstrong ; but on putting out a second time to to the anchor boat through the surf, a heavy , ea washed two ' of the crew out rf her, and the rest of course made for the shore immediately; no life WA3 lost. The price de manded for anchors and cables was very high, but that for t +king them ootextraeagant, being no less than ninety guineas. The anchors and cables were with great ditfi. culty got into a boat in Rocky Bay, and were Al terwards even dragged to the end of the Jetty, but it was..all in vain, for the boats inßacky Bay could not be gottheough the surf, and it was utterly impossible, as you well know, to get them into a boat at the Jetty, with suche heavy swell. 411•10111=1..
