SOUTH AMERICA. The following is an extract from a letter from an officer employed in protecting the British commercial interests round Cape Horn : " CAW), August 21, 1823. The Spanish forces retired from Lima on the night of the 16th of July, after having been iq possession ore' month. Duting their stay, there were not any ex cesses committed, neither did they confiscate one half the property that they might : asfar as the British merchants are concerned, they can have no great reason to corn plain. The last accounts received of the movements the Spaniards, state them to be going southward along the coast; and that the-Patriot forces were marching upon Arequipa. Up to ,40-day, no battle has been fought; and it is thought that possession of Arequipa will be got by the Peruvians without any great diffi culty. They have in the field about 8,500 men, corn. manded by Generals Sucre, Santa Cruz„.aod Miner. This latter officer commands the advanced guard, and is thought to possess more military talent than•all the Generals of Peru, and they are not a few. the Spanish fo ces are nearly the same in point of numbers, i , ut ex ceed in their cavalry. It is therefore hard to cnnjec Lure on which side victory will declare; but the fate of this country certainly depends on the first general action that is fought. If the Spaniards gain it, Peru- nil! be saver to Spain for some time, as these people know net which way to turn for the want of money; and what increases their difficulties is, they are divided among themselves, as they have now two Presidents and two Houses of Congress—the one at Lima, under Gene ral Torre Tagle; the other at Truxillo, under Riva' Aguero;who is said to be at the head of twenty thou and men. He has been declared a traitor and rebel by the President of the Congress at Lima; but un happily for this old man, he is not at the head of 2,000 men, therefore Elva Agnew need not give himself much trouble about what he is declared by an impotent, old man as long as he bas an armed force at his com mand. It is much to be regretted that Spain does not at once acknowledge the independence of these States, or send out a reinforcement to their army in Peru, as that is the only portion of this quarter of the globe they have any chance of retaining as a colony, and not even that for a great length of time. The Fly joined us on the 29th, from England, and Captain Martin took the command. The Ex-Director of Chili, General O'Hig. gins, and family, came passengers in her from Valpa raiso. It is thought a political explosion is on the eve of taking place in Chili, as the Director, General Tra jalle, is very unpopular. COLOMBIAN TARIFF: REPUBLIC OF COLOMBIA.

In a preceding column we have given a copy of dog new TAriff of the Republic of Colombia; which come, into action on the Ist of January nest. It is formed on an impartial basis, and gives no particular advantage to any European State, a circumstance which mast—bc, highly advantageous to this country, as the English merchant and manufacturer only want—;-"fair play and a clear stage." The several descriptions of articles made liable to im portation duties are classed under five distinct heads, embracing every sort of foreign manufacture and duce. - The lowest rate of duty is on goods imported from parent States in Colombian bottoms, and amounts to no more than 7i per cent. The highest is imposed pa cargoes brought from colonies, and in. foreign bottoms ; and amounts to SO per cent. It appears to us, Oa looking over the details of the Tariff, that England May land her staple manufactaresof woollen and cotton, from British vessels, at the Custom-houses of the new Republic, for a duty of 17} per cent. and in Colom bian vessels, for 1,0 per cent. English iron, tin, copper, paper, surgical instruments, and anchors, will have to pay, in British bottoms, 15 per cent. and - in, national bottoms, 7* per cent.: while articles of leather, house, hold furniture, clothes, and hardware utensils generally, pay, in British vessels, 25 per cent. and in Colombian -17;. It is difficult to conceive, should the above duties as foreign merchandise be. continued, even to the ac tual extent of the Tariff, a more' encburagini prospect than is here held out to British industry : bat there is great hopes that as the Republic overcomes the financial and other difficulties with which she is in some 'measure bens, the import duties will be reduced. • , At, a late hoer this forenoon we received the follow ing account, from Madrid ? okßourdeau v, to the Ist inst noosintaitit, ineCEMßleit The letters from Madrid id the SOrli• ult. are not very interesting: political airs i nt* . in the sane state, and ibe military operations tersOinated by thedefection of the remains of the troops of the cEripesinaclo, and his prest or submission, for there ilk niairj differences on this ,point; it was only .known that hewus.:eipected on the 28th at Villadolid,which is' the. great civil.and.criMinal munications from Vittoria to Madrid.
