LONDON. TiluitsnAy. ,It 4, We received no French Papers last night, probably nerve were published on Motauay, when Lot. is XVII I. wet to he interred. The Fischitiige was ordered to be closed during the wholti of Alunday. We give, to-day, a IitiCUMCIII, which, in the present un ee; :linty with respect to die state of affairs in Peru, will he read with considerable interest. It is 'justificatory Memoir published at Lima, in March last, by the Marquis of Tuar.s Tisane.. The Memoir is founded upon a series of ofizial and confidential papers, selected by the Marquis in defence of his conduct. In this e.r-Prefr statement we have, 01 course, only such documents, and such parts of dot-u -m..nix, as will help to make out a case fur Tonne l'Autr, in deserting the cause of independence, and going over to the Spaniards, from whom he now thinks, or pretends to think, "every good may ►e expected,'• while from hoo t.%r lie allirehends only '• desolation and death." So far as he is pet..onally concerned, lie is right in looking for no ineleiful treatment from the Liberator; nor, on his own sbewing, can there be any reasonable doubt that what he apprehends he has richly deserved. It i► singular enough thst the first of Ins justificatory documents relates to the former Peruvian traitor, Kiss Auntao, in whose fate the Marquis seems to have felt a criminal sympathy, which is cell eaplaimal by his own subsequent proceedings. As attempts have been made to represent l'unitt TAU LK as a rrsn of high character, possessing the greatest influence einoog his countrymen, it becomes of importance to ex amine his pretensions to this lofty ilistiostn. •I'he most striking facts of his political career are, that in pirr3 he was appointed to the Presidency of the independent Republic of Peru, and that having co-ope rated with llotiv so for the defeat soil expul of the Spaniards, up to the muddle of February twee, lie then swidmily abandoned the cause cf independence, and joined its enemies ; mud in less than three weeks afterwards we lard him issuing an exhortation to the Peruvians to aubtait again to the Rpanish Govetsiment, as alone capable of en suring security of life and property. There should be some extraordinary facts revealed in hit Memoir to justify su suang•• and inconsistent a course of action. It appears to o►, or. reading his prodifetion, that he has, in the at tempt to sindicate himself, completely exposed his utter usability to offer any shadow of defence for his treason. I ' Ile charges llotivaa with tyrannical and ambitious de sirs towards Peru. If it were necessary to refute this ..teuntion, how could a more triumphant answer be given than by pointing to the flourishing Republic of Colombia, • ;be only firmly-established government of all the late I I ;sinerican Colonies of Spain, with its veteran and well- I if's. optima armies, its active lied efficient navy, and AiLstartisl public credit ! These a►e all the week I.vt.t V A ft, whose wisdom, valour, and disiuterestedneas Li we raised his country to the rank of a powerful and in s!. 0-rdent State. Can it be supposed that he w•hr resisted suggestions of vanity and selfishness in Colombia, :Ai to realise projects for his own aggrandizement - interest of Columbia in securing the inde `•e obvious and only rational motive ; baiter, in the overthrow of THE, Iriurrisil 'PRESS. PAISHIONARLE INvaLit:thes. the last vestige of the Spanish authority over &nth Ame rica. The states of Chili and Buenos Ayres, from the same sense of cognition inter, 0, have also taken part in this struggle. The only people who have manifested a disinclination to do their duty, in expelling the oppres sor, have be* the Peruvians themselves ; they are nut absolutely indifferent, but they are too indolent and hose to make the necessary efforts for their deliverance; and their leaders, rather than be forced into vigorous exertion by the Colombians, would fall back under their ancient yoke. BOLIVAR, who knows by long experience what is necessary to call forth the energies of a nation, in order to establish its independence, appears to have discovered, im mediately on his arrival in Peru, that fresh life must be in fused into the operations against the Spaniards. lie at once told the Committee of the Peruvian Congress, which waited upon him to congratulate him on his arrival, that a thorough change must be effected in the conduct of the war. The Congress, sensible also of the inefficiency of the preceding Administrations, conferred upon him the Dictatorial power. Tones 'face .s, who was then President, considered this appointment as degrading his authority ; and from that pe riod the utmost jealousy and hatred of BOLIVAR seem to have actuated him in all his proceedings. Finding that lie could rely only upon his Colombian troops, of which lie had not a sufficiency to undertake offensive hostilities against CAN TAR Ill', the Liberator advised Toms! TAOI.II to open a negociation with the Spanish Viceroy LA Sauna, in onhr to gain time and discover the feelMe of the Spaniards. Baal soirAo•, the Peruvian Minister of War, and most intimate friend of TORRE TAO! E, was chosen by him fur this mission, which was apparilitly abortive. The I greatest fault of Rouyn rt, in Peru, has been the con tidence he has unsparingly reposed in the traitors by whom lie has been surrounded. At the earnest request of Twine Tau. tie, who was suspiciously anxious to obtain his written approbation of the negocialion, the Coloinbian General, in a friendly letter from hia head-quarters, at Patavilea, expressed his perfect satisfaction at the result of BENI NDOAG at . ll mission. Bo 'avail WEE not aware dna the Peruvian Chiefs had been negociating with the Spaniards for the restoration of the Royal Authority in its greatest plenitude; nor does Tom Mr 'FACILE think proper in his Me moir to avow this iufamoul deed; but in the proclamation lie issued, immediately on the entry of the Spaniards into Lima, he exultingly anisounced how lie had overreached the dull Colombian. " fie pressed me," said Toe Us TAWAS, " to open a negotiation with the Spaniards, and I availed myself of the opportunity to insure the happiness of my beloved country." The traitor, however, says not a word in his Memoir as to the secret negociations between LA SESNA and BrmemNuoAGA. The revolt of the garrison at Celina seems to have precipitated TOk e Tao Le's schemes. It is a singular fact, and the Peruvian apostate takes great pains to prove it, that the disposition of the troops, which led to the loss of Callao aril Lima, was specially di rected by liotarmi himself. We do nut doubt it. If TURK/. TAors had been enabled to carry on his intrigues undiscovered for sonic time longer, he would have inflicted upon the cause of independence a deeper wound than cir cumstances allowed him. The Liberator instantly used his Dictatorial power with the greatest energy, and ordered the removal and destruction of all stores ca pable of being rendered serviceable to the Spaniards. In vain Twine TA.. a endeavoured secretly to thwart and hamper the General. Le was compelled to yield the military command o. the capital to the Governor sent to assume it by Bouv AA. The disgraced President remained there till the city *as taken by the Spaniards, and then he re venged himself by denouncing BOLIVAX as " the greatest monster 011 earth." From these documents it appears clear that the only hope of Peruvian independence recto at present upon the sword of Roue Ail. If lie be not sue etsaful, that unfortunate country will yet have to undergv the severe suffering of a protracted struggle. Peru has been peculiarly the victim of the treachery of her rulers. We fear the population are too generally immersed in vie:. and ignorance to take their station with the other new re publics in their sic' • , , unless they receive their inde pendence as a gift from the liberating hand of Demi vA a. By a letter from Moutreal of the 25tls ult. we learn that the Canadian ship Columbus was got ell tm the lith, and was afterwards seen beyond Cape Rorie r, so that the ship which brought the accounts of her grounding, and which sailed from Quebec on the 16th, must have quitted the St. Law rence alter the Columbus. The wool has been highly favouralle fur the arrival of ships fur some days past in London, being pretty steadily west half north, to west and by t ord., lut upon looking at the Falmouth List, we fin I it quoted to the southward of cast, which will fully ac count for the paucity of arrivalr. Icy set express received yesterday forenoon on the Stock Exchange, it appeals that the long-looked for Jamaica packet has at kited' an ived, and with her Colonel Camp bell, the Columbian Commissioner. We leant by this ar rival, that Millen, with the advanced guard of Bolivar's army, was under the walls of Lima, but that up to the elate of the last • •Iligence, no blow had been struck.— What the final result may be, it would be rash to predict, but the news had an immediate effect on the South Ameri can Seem ides, which rose rapidly. Letters trout Rio Janeiro to the Wel ult. represent that pl.: • and its vicinity to be entirely tranquil. Extract of a letter from Rio Janeiro, dated Septetobtr 1: " This and the adjacent interior Provinces are extremely tranquil, and we have reason to suppose they will continue or." Letters from the :ity of Mexico to the 11th August. and from Alvarado to the ?id, were received yesterday. They are very barren of news. General Bravo, who N to be made the President of the Republic (uniting thereby the Executive in one rum, instead of three as at present), was at the capital. General Victoria left that city the 4th August, with troops for Oaxaca, a province in the Pacific, where the partisan: , of Iturhide had been creating some disturbance* His instructions were to act iu the most summary manner in testoring order ; but it was expected, that when the result of holiday's expeditiou became known there, General Victoria's interference would be unnecessary. (hie of the letters says—" You may be assured, that aim; Iturhide's death, the internal enemies of this country are extinguished. Whether we have any thing to fear front Europe you will know best." The English Misting Companies were busily getting to work, and important results were expected from their labours. Greek journals of a recent date have heed received : one of them contains the Proclamation of the Provisional Go vernment of Greece, which grants an amnesty to all those who have made any attempts to disturb the internal se curity of the State, on condition that they shall in future obey the laws and the orders of the Government. It gives also the detail* of the combat at Amblani, with Derviseh Paella, in which that General was completely beaten ; one thousand killed, as many w led, fourteen standards, four CHIII4III, and a considerable homy, were the results of the victory. The Greeks lost only five nom. The following is extracted frOill a Boston Paper of the tith ult.:— NEW 0111,E.10111, Atm. 20.

The Bury Peat of Wednesday has the following specu lation :—We do not know whether it is mere conjecture, arising out of Mr. Canning's visit to Ickwenth so soon after his return from Ireland, but it is currently reported here,—and some whisper it who profess to have good authority for the assertion,—that the Earl of Bristol is likely to accept the Viceroyalty of the Sister Island, and the Marquis Wellesley to be brought into the Cabinet. This does not seem improbable as a measure for strengthen ing the more liberal patty in the Administration.

NEIV SOUTH WALES-VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. Yesterday we received Sydney Gazettes to the l ith May, and Ilo,wrt Town Papers to the lYth of June. New South IViles appears to be in a flourishing condition. Private letters iron Van Diemen's Land of the Vith of June, mention the arrival of the new Governor, and say that the Colony was in a prospetous state. The market however, was overstocked with European goods. A Sydney Paper contains a narrative of the massacre, on one of the Friendly Islanis, of Captain Posell, late Commander of the Rambler, with five of his men. Mr. Butler, who with his family was on his way, in the ship Brothers, to Van lEemen's Land, se Registrar of the Supreme Court, died on board during the voyage, as well as one of his children. Mr. Ilia Horn, who was appointed to New South Wales by the Church Missionary Society, also died on board the Brothers. Colonel So:ell, late Lieutenant-Governor of Van Diemen's Land, and the late Deputy Judge-Advo cate, were to leave that Colony on the 10th of June, in the Guilford, for England. The new Lieutenant-Gover nor, Colonel Arthur, with his family, arrived in the River on the loth of May. Captain Nloatagu, of the 40th regi ment, and Lady, accompanied the Colonel, who has ap pointed Captain M. to be his Secretary. The Sydney Gatette, of May 6, gives the following notice o the power exercised by the CLitmrship over the l'reas of the Colony For the last 12 or In nionths we have been labouring under one of the nitat unhappy mistakes. It has been a maxim to insert all conespondences that passed the Censor of the Press—many of which, indeed, came through that channel ; certain writers, for views best known to themselves, thinlCrg it advisable to &serrate from the usual order of things. Herein consisted our mistake. We conceived it obligatory to publish all the documents that were so transmitted; whereas we hove learnt, that in us was vested the discretionary power of ItthrlivtiOil or rejection ; the Censorship of the Prose only extending to the protectiJu of the interests of the Government. Fmm the Sydney Gazette of April 29.1 MASS.ICIII: OF 1,...t1"1'A1N e()wru., AND FIVE OF lIIS 011131*. The present ('ommander of the Rambler is Mr. llolliday, the former Chief Justice. Captain Powell, with live of hie crew, were massacred on the island of Version (one of the Friendly Islands), on the 3d inst. The circumstance that gave rise to this tragic occurrence is as follows: Captain Powell had been cruising for four or five slays off the island of Carron, whit It time was occupied in procuring Wald' ha the veneers tine. On the 3d of April. the day preceding the mss. Nacre, four black men, and as apprentice named Samed Illackmoere, ran away into the island. The day following application was made to the King, or Chief, nor the restoration of the boy. Finding that entreaty was unavailing, Captain l'owell Aired the King a musket. lUU flints, and a barrel of gunpowder, if he would send oft the runatirai appretitice. The boy returned an answer, by letter, to the Captain, refusing to join the ship any more, and desiring Captain Powell to weigh anchor and be ME At II a. tn. the ehip was under weigh, and stood up the bay. At noon Captain Powell fired three of the starboard guns on shOre, at the same time ordering .Me. Holliday to stand of with the ship. A boat was then lowered down the larboard quarter, 'aid was manned and armed with sic hands, besides Captain Powell. The Twat went on shine, sod returned with a double canoe. which was made fast a-stern of the ship. The vessel then tacked back again, made a short board, and once more tacked : when abreast 01 the beach two mare guns were fired. Captain Powell then made pre parations for returning to the shore—giving directions as to the ne cessity of lie:ping the ship from going too near; and told Mr. Idol. belay not to tire. unless he perceived that the natives were too thickly surrounding and pursuing them. Captain l'owell, for the bat time, reached the shore, and was seen walking up the beach. when about 60 or 7U alined natives rtlSiled MIMI hint and four of the poor men, despatching them in the twinkling of an eye. The other two seamen being near the host, fled into the sea for refuge; and although one was wounded with a spear, they succeeded in regaining the vessel, under curer of one of the Larboard knins. The names of the men that perished were, Peter Ashhurn, John Jones, William Bethink. and James Loft. The vessel hiving expe rienced a loss of ten hands, with the five runaway.. eselusive of Captain Powell, Mr. Holliday thought it most prudent to make the best of his way to Port Jackson. The last worth that the *wt. fortunate Captain Powell was heard to articulate were—'• Olt, my Hod. nue Goal ! I am killed !" The above account is taken from the ship's log, and therefore may so tar be depended on. But, it may be inquired. how many of the pour islanders were cut off by the tiring of Capt. Powell, before he went on shore? And what bail they done? The log gives no account of any previous barbarity on the part of the natives. Their canoe was taken away—well-loaded gulls were discharged among thenta-and there can hardly be a question but inany.'niany, of these poor heathens thickly fell from the quantity of shot that visited tcit shore+. After all this, who can account foe the unwarrantable temerity of Captain Powell in landing himself and men among such an infuriated host ? Captain Powell, we should think, be. ceine sacrificed through his own rashness, and four poor fellows were hurried, with their haplas eunmiander, into an awful eternity ! STD% EY, MAC R. We have been informed that it has been reported by some of those belonging to the Namblrr whaler, that our last week's report of the slaughter of the poor natives of the Friendly Island., and the massacre of hapless Captain Powell, and part of his crew, was is. correct. We ran only say that the sew C antler referred us to Mr. Solicitor Norton for the extract of the ship's log, which was ob. tained. It. therefore, there he any wrong statement, the stainer the log is corrected the store satisfactory it will peeve to the cause tif truth. We have not yet ascertained the reason why our country. men became the aggressoni in this, as in many tither unhappy in. stances.
