CONYERSATIONY OR I.OIW BYRON. 13 this interesting, book there are some beautifully pa- Oleic lines on the " Death of Sir John Moore." Lord Byron thought the verses Equal to any thing from the in spired pen of Campbell or of Moore. Ile read it from a bligiume, in which it entwined as from an anonymous contributor. Captain Med win is of opinion that the NA/ thud was him.' if the author, and is confirmed in that opinion by the circumstance of his having presented a copy of the sews to a young holy in his own hand-writing. However this may give a plauubility to the presumption u • Captain M:alwiti, yet we happen to 1/C in possession of the name of the author. and of the occasion that csllial Meth that exquisite Armlet'. 'l'lw author is Mr. Wolfe, a gentleman who, at the period at which Sir John Moore fell gloriously at Comma, was a student in the University of Dublin. The Fellows of that Ihtiversity pro posed his unfortunate fate as a theme for the prize-poem of that year. Mr. Wolfe was one of many competitors for die prise; he was unsuccessful, and tit's beautiful offisprieg of his Muse found its way to the world through the obscure medium of a periodical magazine. It H aw fam i lia a proud testimony of his genius and taste, and a te,lituony (tiot a very proud one) of the waist of both in the learned Prmlits of the Dublin University, who gave to some rit , tl.er of three or fettle hundred lines of rhyme the prig:. I that these spirit-stirring verses had fairly won. lie ' has not since (dial we are aware of) devoted I • 111 . to poetical pursuits. Perhaps this early neglect damped his sirit, and deprived the world of the productions which, fr p ont the specimen before us, might be marshalled in elitu- Wive excellence with these of the Byrum, the Moores, and Campbells of the day. AEResT.ITIUN. MR. f/REEN'S OWN ACCOUNT OF lIIS DESCENT. OuiPOILT,. OCT. IA I loft Porters at ten minutes past a;rriei;elock, accom panied by Mr. bandy, and, after a voyage of 2.7. minutes, we arrived at ligation, about two miles from Meilhurst, where we effected a safe landing, after striking against a chimney, end having a narrow escape of being driven a4attist the steeple of I Lisbon church. This was, how- ever, prevented by the net - work becoming entangled with an apple-tree in the gimlet) of Mr. Perry, which enabled young man to wine to our assistance. While he was en deavouring to secure the balloon, the grappling-iron caught ledil of hint, but others coming to his assistance, he was nut 1 male hon. We tiro reached the earth at the brow of a bill, think ing it a safe place to ileseend, being about two miles from the vil!age, where we hoped to get help ; but the grap pke,-iroil failing to hold, in consequence of the prongs be it,lllloV, entangled with the rope, we were driven by the farce of the wind with conaiderable velocity towards Mg shott, tool calor in contact with a poplar tree, when, the network becoming entangled, the combined force of tl,:e triad and gas broke ()irate whole of the uppe• part of the tree, wi•Olitig not lets than Go pounds, which we carried op with us to an immense height. We then proceeclisl with great speed, after criting many trees and buildings, all of which tended to retard our progress ; we were at last effectually secured in Mr. Perry'a garden, by die apple tree. Oii leaving the earth the mercury in the barometer stood at 119. and ti-loths, anal at the greatest elevation sub sided to 13. and giving an altitude of a!:out a utile and a quartet. Mr. Gandy gave the young man who Came to their assist ance a sovereign to repair his clothes. The inhabitants of ileyshott, never having before seen a balloon, were so much alarinixl, that many of them rats into their bowies, anal their fears prevented them fr ren dering. Mr. Green assistance, otherwise his descent would bare bees rendered more easy. Mr. Green experienced the greatest assistance from the wanes and intrepidity of his companion, who reuisined the car; but for his aid Mr. Green's descent wotthl loive been rendered much more difficult- Mr. Gandy taught 'leveret times have ensured his own safety, by leav ing the ear when it touched the earth, but he remained , with Mr. Green, and rendered him every assistance in his Ifs Sattellay week Mr. Gandy offaed to accompany Mr. Green, although the wind was blowing directly towards the Channel, mewl they would certainly have gone but for the interference of Mr. Green's Cut ttttt ittec, and of other individuals present. Mr. Green, with his companion, arrived at Portsea in a chaise anal four, about a iptarterintst nine o'clock, to the rot( satisfaction cal his Committee anal friends, who Were sisiously waiting his arrival, having left his balloon at the !Assn lean, Chichester, from which place lie will shortly sirmd. THE PRETE ND 1.31. When the unfortunate Prince Charles Smart wandered thioligh the lliglilstids, after the fatal battle of ' he with a few faithful follower., one night took up his abode iu a bill in the weal of Ross-shire. l'aptaiiii Fergu son, that manor cruelty in the rye of every Ilighlatiller de lated to the Prince, hail his ship at anchor on the coast, and a party of his men, with two of the natives as ;nnids, geatelin^ the country, where ciretinistantes through the day led them to conclude the Royal fugitive or sonic of his adherents were lurking. I 7poti their nearing the spot, the smell of roast meat assured them of their prey ladtig at hand. Of this they spoke to each other. exulting in the aloof returning to Ferguson with the Prince their cap tive, and securing the 30.000/. put upon his head. One of the guides, who was scholar enough to know what they were talking about, communicated the matter to the other, whoilid not understand than, and expressed his fears that the Prince would he taken. The other, inure really at ex geth.tit. and equally anxious for the safety of the Royal personage they weie in pursuit of, swore wank' sooner die than see it , and asked how lie should express in Eng lish that he saw utrn creeping along the opposite ridge., This Donald learnt in a twinkling—ao, turning about to the English tars who were iieranibling on behind—he vo aysted, with all his un ght , " De Prince, de Prince ; luke, 'lt Pain N1111111;4 dere ! --lire, fire ! de Prince, de l'riner In ant smut every musket was pointed at the spot to which pauldilireeted. and an instant volley and about proved the 1101:5 sagacity and ('harles's safety.

At the time when I exercised the supreme command of Peru, called independent, many remarkable circumstances took ploce, foe the exploitation of which, it offends my delicacy to Eisd it indispen sable to erthlish ,41111 C coufidential communications of (ieneral 80. hear, which never woi.:4 have Leen divulged, had the attempt not been made through them, to sully my honour. In such ,a CU!, I am not constrained to olneove a contistency which would dithorstm e myself, and which Las rot been observed toward' Me. I shall not detain myself in allovong the strong interest I have felt in cndea. ' routing to prevent the misfortunes of Peru. I received the supreme military command in Callao, in July, NM, and this was ' the greatest proof of my devotion to the relictty of the country. I considered it absolutely a suserifice, from the time General Bolivar ordered forces to ..ecupy it. betioe they had been required by Don Jose de le Rica Agnew, since. out the arrival of Iletirsal Portaear. rent at Iluayaiittil, transports were rest:,' with troops to be diem harked at Callan, without consulting the wish of this Peruvians , that time the extermination of the country was decreed, and it was toy duty to trout no means to free her from slavery. I are. cered 0:1 this account provisionally, the compiled. although there I were genteel) any resources in the capital to maintain the troops, Or sustain the cite, list, notwithstanding I attended to every thing in the h, st manner jenalble. I was czcreaively desirous that the ('irogress, aslectioe a worthy citizen, would relieve me from the ad inicistration Vans which it bad exonerated I)on Jose de la tit Amiens. But this body haviti'been violently dissolved in i'eue. • ilk), I conceived It my duty to preserve my post, in order to re. establish at all hazards the Legislative Assembly. Bet how could ad* be effected hitbout Peruvian forces, and only rich auxiliaries who would take no part in internal dissensions? I was persuaded that it should he done, and I immediately effected it wi'lliett any oilier Lifeguard than that of my courage and that of my friends. I re-established the Congress, I saved several of the deputies, and I secretly gloried in actions which 1 camellia' to be good, and at that tittle utast useful to the cortintry. Bolivar arrives it Callao the Ist September, and the torch of civil discord Is immediately thing appears to him wrong, and he does not hesitate in declaring to the Committee of theCortgrese who wished to congratulate him that a " genel.al and radical reform was necessary ;" that is to say, that Ms considered himself capable of dictating the law to the Congress. Ile did ion deceive himself, terns is disseniinatrd, and this body only thought of distmering the a ill of lholiver iu order to satisfy it. lie Is invested with the supreme, military, civil, and direetural command, degrading th e authority which the same Congress had conferred upon me, and scattering the seeds of .lisani 111 l between the executive power and • foreign and absolute authority. Large contribu thins are decreed beyond the capacity and fortune of the inhabitants: extensive hien' are received which are all employed in procuring excellent clothing foe the ausiliary troops, and supplying punctually their want, and their p a y, three troops being constantly attended to in preference ' w the Perueiatis. It would be &thews to conceive how much 1 bad to softer and diesemble trout the imperious and overhearing AMAIN/ of Bolivar, in (wiling into effect ell his ideas, without re. ant to the ineane, and how much I was compelled to tolerate not only from him, hut l'olonels Heves and Perei, the two springs which he constantly moved to molest at every moment the Govern ment. studious to observe towards hint the greatest obsequitotaneva Notwithstanding 1 conceived myself obliged to make these sacri. dices for Peru, in ortho to preserve a semblance of her proper au. thority which might hereafter be opposed to the dreadful measures which were commencing against the natives of the country, and which every day would lot-masc. Before Bolivar went to the northern coast to pacify those pro vines, he verbally charged me 61 be most rigorous towards all the irany of Hiss Artier.), and to spare none of their lives; he ordered that all this party should instantly disappear, to avoid the evils re. tutting front delay. Don Jose de la Biwa Aguem being taken with some others, in Truxillir, by Col. La Fume. he imparted the event to the Dovernment„ who transmitted it to the (!impreas with. out asking any punishment. The Congress by their reply and far mer decrees, placed me under the tonessity of giving an order fo r the eseeuthm of HISA AgIICTO Mud sonic of his principal followers but I consolnl myself with the idea, that they would have left Tveailla before the aolise essW have reached dim. I imitlipus nirahal my sentiments to Bolivar on this subi e et, in a late which I wrote I • the sth of December, and which is amoneste the justificatory documents. Na. 1. The TCPUJUIIOOII on the fate of kiss Aguern anti the other pri , sorters emanated from Congress and not front myself. I gave them • sufficient opportunity to reverse the decrees which the Legislative Body had jr.ouled out the 11th stud 19th of last August, and i did not tiro.. the idea of la Fuenie that they !should he banished to Chili. 1 hr Congress resolved to enforce the punishment of a crime which Mut been classified by the law, and it was not in my power to pre vent it. Itri this occasion I shall merely state, that the imputation east upon the timiernment of having sent an individual to Truttillu tier the 'impose of poisoning Rive Aerutro, is false. %Vharever this individual tea, or was compelled to say, is false. and no 51enther of the Government hail any share in it. The said individual was only known by his artivity in introducing ciimmunicaithuts as he had dune in Lima, when Callao teas besieged by the Spanish arnmy. lie was afterwards sent thr to convey four lettos to True in.', for the objets of eecitieg an insurrec in that city, foe which lie re ceived only 511 dollarv, drawn from the general treasury. Who could believe that ler sea email a sum he could be induced to undertake such an enterprise as this? Who could believe that the floverninent would for a moment suppose that an Individual unknown to Bina Agucro, could ore sin an easy intruthiction into his domestic envier. Thos calumny is very conteniptible, notwithstanding at the time, it &oldies! general currency. General !Wheat having been intiwentel of the immediate ceecution he hail commanded of the orders of the roof:rest 'gavot lilts Aguero, and the Other principal peewits taken with him, replied to t h e 31inieter of %far, who at that time also tilled the Department of Stale, in the literal terms which ap pear from the paper N 0.2, dated in Catamarca, 11th I/termini, Itha. From this letter we may make the observations; that General Bolivar wished that not only all the partisans of Itiva ' Aguero, but alo, the Spaniard. who should be found in the capital, should be immediately put to death. 'Secondly, that he ordered the battalion of Vargas in march out immediately to the litutintailia, and to be replaced in Callao by that of the Hill de la l'het. That body was in die mountains when the Dltipiciatilms commenced with the Spaniards. General Bolivar sag. Rested the idea, but did not wish to appear publicly in it, fierliaps IA melee to induce the belief that the Government was selling the century. &1311 that be saved it by triumphing over the Spaniards, without fulfilling any phanises towards them. But the Govern. Meat sustained Its diaracter of justice, honour, and interest fur Peru. which might be expected. Toter date of the 11th of January, General Bolivar wrote me the letter, N 0.3, by which he ?economists to iny notice, moat stre nuously, a very important rtEtir whisk be had contain nicated. un der the SAW date. t m Odom I liars.* It was this that was Qin taint.' in the latter of Isis acting Secretary, Espinar, No. 4, the original of which was eititlideil to not by the said Cidonel. with great re•erVe, and which was returned to him alter being copied. As won II I was informed of all, the Minister of War, Golaorl fly's. and Myself etaleavotired to carry into effect the project of General Bolivar; and as he did nut wish to appear publicly in it, I wrote, welt their conntion consent. to the President of the Con gress the note, No. 5, which was replied to by a note of "samba lion, under the euppiwition that the Government was acquainted with the wish of Bolivar in this particular. The letter which I wrote to 11olivar on the Ilith January, refers to this circumstance, and is marked No. g, and that of Colonel Here*, of the Ibth of the same month. No. 7. is a farther corroboration. All that has been said, sheers my wish to agree with him in tine business, even in the most minute points. ' , mkt such circumstances, and charged with accelerating the said negotiation. Colour' Perez arrived at lama lee n ['suedes, the Slecietary of General ikdivar, who had with myself and the Secretary of M'ar, a rooference on the 17th of January, 11.COOrding to the document No. 8. Ile then observed, if the Spaniards should not wish to treat on the preliminary convention of Durso. Ayres. die said General prop med a particular one with Peru; and thus it was eisiiiiletitially resolved upon. In ameequewe of all this, the respects.. persons were delegated under this date. and the oflicial letter Nu. li, written to General La Seams, and instructions were Oven to the 31i:dater Plenipotentiary, as appears from the papers • 111 and 11.

Ile learnt there, by Yield Marshal lion Juan Antonio Monet, that ot the following day General Loriga, chief of the staff would Conte from Ilumicayo, fruits the Commander.in-Chic(, to hare an interview with said Minister, and to receive the despatches, two of which were in het delivered to him. tmmr the Vice-Buy La Kerns, Nue. ii and It, accompanied by the official despatch and letter for his Ezeelkmey, elemeral rats the replies to which ant Nes.

In this conference, as to all the Others. the Minister proceeded to esuiblish negociationa ezeiseively on the basis of independence, and he there solicited. as had been prupused li r General Wirer. in case of being refused as anew to the preliminary convention of Buenos Ayers, a particular treaty 01 union and friendship might be concluded with Peru, em the boa of independence. flaying punctually given an account of all that had bilestojeg to ( t ell . l ie wrote me a letter of ripprettariah :416 I this latter, it appears that all dist I did on thlet &shied was with has knowledge and concurrence; and all that the Hensler peptised had heat previously arranged. without his idstiollitg is the slightest tappet (ruin liis instructions.

Wll7,in case that the forces of Colombia shuuld triutnipli, should this country remain at the mercy of Bolivar, tot him exchieively to decide out its fate and destiny ? What honourable man, in my ease, 'mild hare performed so rash and desperate a part My desire was to terminate the war. The Congress wished the mine thing, manifested sufficiently in the Order tit the 14th df last January, Nu. IS. I an certain that my enndnct in this particular could only sp iny bad to 1 4 enerul Bolivar, it'id to his ambitious satellites. but Ito no other peutpleor inhabitant of the world. Betio* God and inan, my conscience tells tile I hare proceeded With rectitude. I owed nuteh to the people for having &omitted in me their confidence. 1 satisfied this debt by exerting myself foe Meir good and prosperity, m the expense of a thousand risks and sacrA*s. At some future period, my actions will be properly estimated. and an impartial posterity will do me justice. not agitated by the passions of de. liod•At, ungrateful, anti intriguing men. I was anaminly expecting a rep'y from, hie Excellency the Vice. roy. on the negonations ahove mentioned, when the troupe which garrisoned the castles of C 41111,41 IrCtillled their obedience to the in. dependent authorities. This happened throe days after the 31i ; nist,t of War had returned from Hams to dafnia i and the enemies of order, well satisfied that the tiovernmeht had no pnrt iu this revolution, endeartihred to throw the suspicions cm him. As I had no po t sous intimation of this cheep, 1 confidently believed. and many inhere believed, that it was a Stink:Ll and military stea -1 tagem General Itolivar made to.: of, with the double object of liver_ ' throwir.g the Government, which he cotilirt decorously attack. and to beat the Spanish forces, wise anislsth ranee to the aillifialie• of the Cada% 11116yeltetalMhtliPt MICIATISIAW Nifty as this pm. gumption.

The same thing had hapreneil a few ills previously, at the request of the General in Chief of the Arms , in thcCentre, ftwi Henriques Martinet, to the command of one of forts, lion Frinciscu Oilier.) and Sirpentis: ettmorilinary comliii;ation of simultaneous changes offered presumptive evidence to my suspicion; hut other things occurred to confirm it. Not being able to cancels( that there was any neglect in the service ef the cattle', or In tile administration of the torus, I was astonished. not having received any information of it from die (Miernor of the place, and that no Commander or ()dicer hail fools any disrovere on this silbject ; and. Awn,, that the fie. Tweets of the Andes were constantly encouraging expectations of recovering the castles. All this induced the belief that the two-fuld object of die revolution was, to depose the Dovarnment, and to heal the Spanim.is ; but principally so when the Colombian (Nicer fgarte, the aid to Ci 4 lonel Hefei. in passing over to the Spaniards, was found with either a true or forged passport front his Colonel. Such a casualty induced a suspicion that Deane was carrying over an insidious and detailed infOrmat . ain, and that the Srenish furce. were (speedily coming to Callao. Ultimately it had become nolo. coma that the authors of the movements in Callao were only Col. Milano and bieut..Cohmel Oliva, who had formed their plan without depending on any estenial assistaute to realize the under taking. After the loss of Callao. Oeneval Bolivar, trampling upon my "Ihoeitf. cisminissinned General Martinez to execute the inertia_ ture measures which are contained in the copy, No. 21, directed to the Minister at Var, with the note, No. In.

I was of opinion the troops should not march. which was agreed upon by the Junta. I thus saved the capital from the dreadtlil catastrophe which it Would have suffered fouls the revolutions of licieral Bob. var—a service which it, perhaps, not proagerly appreciated, from its_n/aing mtneraily known. sok thon,Alulivers, ergisksfutioilla l dew cunt eiandtet of Ate government whit" star satiated, and out any regard to the Congress, directed. :lee date of the 1 of February, to General Martinez, the sc andalous note, No. which be sent to the government with the nada note No. 2A, The Congress hieing consulted In all that had occurred, resolved upon what la contained in the order.

The legislative body was informed of this circumstance., the only superior authority whom I could acknowledge. and they issue an order of stispet.- slim, which appears in the paper. No. 211. There was no remedy the President of required that his mandate should be obeyed in Peru; and it was to be done. Invested now with a dictatorial character, without paying the least attention to the sanction of the rrpnsentative authority. he nuns* General Necoches, Civil and Military Chief of the Capital, col ttttt and. log him to fulfil his orders ; in virtue of which appoint. ment, with the consent of the Congress,l delivered up the can. mend to Necochea on the 17th of February, after having received the note, No. 27. I thus terminated my career in the supreme government of Peru. called independent, which I had maintained with at, much repugnance, and with the ohject alone of freeing the country from an obtrusive authority. It was on this account I received the I command at Callan from General Sucre, and that I did not re. noonee it on the arrival of Bolivar, although I was Erongly urged Ito it by the deputy Carrion. When the Congress, hi minting Bolivar Dictator, sent to know my wish by Dort Arcs, I replied, that, as • public man I would fulfil immediately wh a t ever t h e P eruv i a n C o ngress should resolve own, in order that they should not think in. ambitious of the command. In fact, I preserved the cot nil whit.' I thought It itulispeosable to preserve the country from being garriliceil. Lately, when the government of the capital was offered me by the Spanish authorities. !refused it, since there Is at present no danger what. ! wryer, or absolute necessity, for my services. I, being separated from the Onvernment, Bolivar determined to crown his works, by ordering ine to be arrested and shot, as well as many illumine'sn and respectable Peruvians. who, according to his opinion, might oppose his designs. The Supreme Iteing has saved us. and placed us under the protection of the national army. We will continually ezart nurselves for the felicity of our country, always contributing to ha increased prosperity, and to frustrate the progress of this tyrant. Ills immeasurable ambition shall kind no aliment In Peru, nor shall he ever doinincet over its illus. triaus citizens. It is as true that Mini' has endeavoured to persecute without our every Peruvian of talents, or who could make a figure, as' that, when the timeral La Puente caused the last change in TRII. end was called the Pacificator of the North, Bolivar iinmedi tad), determined to destroy him. La Fuente caused the Peruvian euirasaters to sustain themselves against the humors of the tivard oaf Bolivar, who wished to trample upon them. From that time he determined to deprive him of dm Presidency of Trazillo, Or parate him mini the array, and sena him to Chili. under the net serable and puerile pretense which. In his letter, No. 2111. la this letter he also disapproves afrthit conduct observed towards Kira Aguero I yet it hest met his entire approbation. and be even ' wished it more ri;:orons, aa appear* from los official letter of the lith December, No. 2. As to fleneval Mona Dens, the said letter evinces sufficiently the anent hatred that the President of Co lambi* telt for him, and which he has often evmessed and mini fisted, by the repeated entreaties that Dentist Sucre has matte to nie, to muse himself and Santa f'rut to be tried by a t mined of of War, on account of the late events of the South. The object of this was the destruction of Simla Cruz; and on this account I 'closed acceding to the propose/. I cherish the flattering idea that, during my government, in the most turbulent times, end in the midst of a civil war, Providence has not permitted a drop of human blood to be shed. Some rigid measures; were ieulispen %ably taken, to prevent our being devoured by anarchy; but every Peruvian was set at liberty, and festered to his home before I gave up the command. I maintained this without receiving a rial of salary as Supreme (Ind, in order that the must necessitous might be relieved, and assisted many with my own fortune, and burthened myself to sustain the lustre of the rank which I had obtained. I believe my administration has been marked by pity, justice, and disinterestedness: and if my govern. met was not the best, any intense, terse correct and pure in the extreme. l:itit-d now to the Natiestak4emy, our fates will always be the same. I shall never be thumbed ti Me false glare of chime rical ideas. which, bewildering the deader people only, lead to their destruction, and make the fortunes awl ratiabt Me ambition of a horde of Weenier's,.

TO Tne KISISTER or was. _ A• I wi►ed yesterday without my !keret:try. he having been taken ill nn the road, I addressed myself directly to your Excel. lency. I last night received the communications of your Excel- Icney up in the 30th of lest month. by which I have Icarnt the dis lodgment of the expedition of Anna, and the suspicions that were entertained against the S'ice Admiral of Pcru.t As the brig Dorsett, under Capt. Coro, has anivel on the asst of ['mind:ace, with the object of lending assistance to the party of Rive Aguero, there is nut the least doubt tind hopes arc still enter. tented of keeping that party alive, which appeared almost extinct. Consequently, I have dictated measures for securing the teasels of Pena anti Colombia, which might be mucked by the partisans of Rica Aguero, or by the Spanish squadron, consisting of four mil, of which I have been informed by the Captain of the Port of Cal lao, and by en original letter received from his Excellency. the President of the Republic. The eonittiut.i.ationa of yesterday have not failed to produce a very diam:reeable imprestion upon me : th-y show me that °bustles are multiplying on every side to the liberty of Pena. The expedition of Chili is dispersed, and even returned to its country. Santa Cruz and his partizans entertain very sinister ideas ; Guise the same. The &elute of Lima are makingt, great progress In Cant, and Iluarochiri. The expnaition of !Jeerers sufficiently manifests the Royalist party that predominates in Litita in the most extraordinary manner. 1 . Finally, the combination of yesterday's news is horrible, and scarcely leaves me any hors of a favourable result to be wrested from misfortune even by tune ; every thing threatens ruin in this country. IVnilst I advance towards the North the South falls into confusion ; and when I return to :he South I ant certain this part of the North will inevitably be thrown auto the utmost shame:et. be. cause Peru lies heroine the eamp of Argemant, wh e re no cans is understood. Whatever direction I take. I meet with opposition. %The would hive conceived that the party of Rasa Aguero shottld be able to recruit accomplices by the attraction of an infamous pies of treia6n ? Vet such Is t lit situation of things. It is my opinion. that if the gen ernment does not establish terrible measures against the royalists and against factious individuals, that l'eru will be the victim of its own clemency. The ueders of the government upon Kiva Aguero, and his atleomplices, are very just. and very much to the point, and ought to be rigorously complied with . besides. I ant of opinion that the same orders should he extended to the other accomplices of Lima, either of Rive Aguene's party, or that of the Spaniards. The government should demand front the Congresa terrible laws against conspirators, of whatever party they may be ; and the government should cause these laws to be executed with in. refereble rigour. Pero is undermined by her enemies, and only a countermine can save her. I do not venture to dictate nth cures which I judge salutary, because I am not • Peruvian; and every thing Ido is attributed to Colombia, and sinister views. Let the relation of Ilerrera speak few itrelf, which declares that the contri. butions create enemies to Colombia, as if the Contributions were for the use of Colombia alone, and did not belong to the expenses of Peru and its authorities. lkfore now I have repeated !bat I wished that the government of Peru would iucur the odium which would fall on me for these strong measures, and that I would do the feat. In proof of which, I have taken charge of this civil war, which ter. tainly has been attended with its share of odium and calumny ; but it was my duty to take charge of it, in order to save this country. Thanks to Cod ! it has had a fortunate and speedy result ; Mot there will certainly b.: a reaction if strong caustics are not applied to the gangrene that this domestic war has l'ft. To der ruy the ruble and factious Guerrillas, the banana Verges alice.ilel Mme. mustily march from Callao towards Canto, to be .eplacod lay the battalion of Rio de la Plata or Chili, or be both, for the bet,rc striation of of the Castles. Let Colonel l'ordero take the co lunette' of the guerrillas of the Sierra, against Xauja and Pasco; and let eri ry assistance be given him fat the subsist-woe and m memento of his troops, or ample orders to supply himself wherever he may be. In tide way the parties of Mama% lOasw;les, Caere.., and Vidal. will be destroyed, and the opponents of %%liar will be si. kneed: who , on account of the hatred which is borne to iiiiii in the I country, have been found by Ninarvilea the opponents of ligiti. mate Government. I always thought that Mancebo and l'illar were bad men, and prejudicial to the country. If Colonel Corder° does not lied subsistence foe his battalion, let him scour the coun try to Calatamba, and leave the force necessary to maintain order. From flustioehiri some troops of the line trim Chili should proceed with the same object, which would also prevent the destruction of the (Milian in the climate of the coast. It is incredible how neces sary it is to throw ail our army amongst the mountains, to accent° ii them to march, and to the climate of the country which is to be the scene of war. lin the sante account I ardently desire that all the troops of Chili, which may arrive on the coast of Pent, should move towards the mountains in any way and in any direction. Af terwards, they can be reunited and segsnised in the best way possi ble, and most convenient. By this operation the salvation of the Chilies' troops will lie obtained, and an expense saved the Govern. meet which it is not able to sustain on account of its prevent rate of penury. As to Messrs. Santa Crux and Guise, the Government will take such measures as will be dictated by their wisdom ; for my part.

Just before the drop fell, the general trembling of all the prisoners, and their shrill ejaculations to their patron saints, inatriletted the horror with which they anticipated the death, to which they sere sir justly doomed. Previous td their execution, one of these criminals stated, theta were several hundred pirates on the enlist of Cuba, and this would always be the CAM while the merchants and store-keepers of that island purchased from the pirates their plunder ; and various an• thurities permitted, and secretly encouraged them in their netarious acts.
