The latter arc garrisoned in Lima and the castles of Callao. General La Seztos,Alllriecmy, was •at Cuzco 'hw Yont, APRIL 8 —Horrible Barbarity.— Captain Robinson, arrived yesterday from New Orleans, informs that the brig Perkins, of Kennebunk, arrived at the Balite, on the 21st ult. from Port-au:Prince and •.ampcachy. Captain Robinson was informed that she was burled in entering the harbour of Campeachy, by a piratical schooner of about 40 tons, and manned by .10 or 40 men, who asked fur money, but Captain Perkins denied having any. They then stabbed him in se veral places, and cut off one of his arms, when he told them where the money was (200 doubloons,) which they took, and pyoceeded to murder him in the most inhuman manner. He was first deprived of the other arm and one of his legs. They then dipped oakum in oil, and put some in his mouth and under him ; set it On 'fire and thus terminated his sufferings! ! ! The mate was stabbed with a -sabre in his thigh. They also robbed the brig of anchors and cables, sails, rigging, quadrants, charts, books, papers, and nearly all the provisions and water.— Ou the passage from Campeachy to the Balize, she was providentially supplied with provisions by seve ral vessels which she fell in with, or they must have inevitably perished. The above brig was no doubt the ikilisa►ius, Perkins, which sailed from Port au-Prince on the sth of February, fbr Campeachy." NEW YORK, Mancit 24.—1 t is reported that the British schooner Enterprise, from Matanzas to Nassaa, has been taken by a boat from Matanzas, and all on board murdered, except two females.

An English brig, from La Plata to Haven- . rah, was brought in and condemned on the 28th Fabruary. A private /loop of war and schooner entered the harbour of Ponce by a flag of truce, and demanded the restoration of the prizes lying in port, which was refused, when the patriot vessels com menced a bottibatriment, Which lasted about an hour when they hauled off and left the port. Captain Myrick reported that Porto Rico privateers are still capturing and condemning every thin. , they tall in with, trading to patriot ports or elsewhere. MExico.--Capt Hawley, of the schooner Fame, arrived at Philadelphia, states, that according to the last reports received at Alvarado, from the interior provinces, Puebla, Oxaia, and Vera Cruz have all declared in favour of the liberal system of Govern ment, and that the Captain-General, Echavcra, was at the city of Puebla, at the head of 5,000 men, and would march immediately for the city of Mexico. The Emperor was then in the city of Mexico, and was said to-be fortifying it ; reports-say, that he also had 5,000 men. 'lle castle of St. Jean de Ulloa had been reinforced, and was still in possesslon of the Royalists. PERo.--•The expedition which sailed from Lima in October, against Upper Peru, had arrived at dif ferent points of the coast; but having no means of getting water and provisions, nor mules fi,r trans porta►ion, and withal being sickly, they would in an probability be compelled to return to Lima. The coast of Peru from Pisca south is a desert, and no vegetation occurs within 40, and in must parts $0 miles of the coast, except in the small valleys through which the rivers discharge; and at these places, with the exception of Quilca and Arica, there is no landing. The troops of the expedition amounted to .1,000 (in 40 transports convoyed by a frigate and two sloops of war), consisting of 800 Chilenos under General La Cruz, 800 Peruvians under Colonel Miller, 1,200 Buenos-Ayreans under General Alvarado, and 1,200 Colombians under General —, the whole under the direction of Al varado. with s.spo troops. t - 7 • • in : Arequipa, in the 4.l"7 retired to Spain.

The wind:: coast was completely abandoned, and without the aid a mules the Patriot army could never reach the first range of the Cordilleras. On the 29th of December a new commercial re gulation was eidinved in Lima to prevent all foreign merchants from receiving consignments, and also to prevent air ilireign vessels from Aniding frum one part of the coast to another.

We understand it now to be settled, that the Duke de Polignac is to be the accredited Minister front Franc:: to this country. Tins appointment will tend to repress the numerous idle reports which find Oleic way into circulation, in consequence of the Fretrolt Diplumetcy in London being confided only to a more 'Charge d'Affaires.
