The Police being infOrmed of this im mediately went to the spot and opened the barrel, in which they found the body of a man in a complete state of dissolution in his clothes, and covered with salt. It was Wholly impossible to recognize the-features, and even the clothes-wee so affected by thetalt .and.the dissolution of the body, that their original colour could not be ascertained. There was a handkerchief in his coat''pocket, and in a purse two hundred piece's of silver coin, with the initials S. and F. The body was publicly shewn on the morning of Sunday the 13th. The horror and indigna tiorfwhich:animated the immense crowd that flocked . to'see this shocking sight, may be'conceived bnt cannot be described — t After the necessary depositions had been taken, and the body examined by the surgeons; it was buried in the church-yard of St Ildefbnso. It was discovered the saine'rriorning: that the barrel in ques . tion'ha:d been brought from a Magazine at no great distance from the spot where it was - found, as appeared by the declaration of one of porters, who was hired to carry it, and the deposi .tion of another who accompanied it. 1- :It appears froth' the declaration of the Surgeons, that the skull •was fractured, thehead severed from the body by a sharp in.. strument, and both the thigh-bones broken in the middle.

BRUSSELS, APRIL 5. Since the health of our august Monarch 'has been impaired, reports of all kinds have been spread . both here and at Paris. We alone. stated that he was. merely incommoded by the effects of a wound whfcli he received in the field. The Journal of Brit:set:4 Which had hitherto been silent, confirms what we said as follows _ • ." The King's health never gave any ground for alarm, and though-a sore place in . : the leg, occasioned by an old wound, and fatigue, has obliged his Majesty, by way of precaution, to suspend for a period his usual promenades and weekly audiences, .he has been always in good health, and able to attend without interruption to important labours in which he is engaged; by his solicitude for the welfare of his kingdom."

His'Alajesty's ship Herald arrived at the island on the 28th January, having on board the Right Rev. W. H. Co LEItIDGE, anti the Right Rev. H. LIPSCOMB, _the new Bishops of Barbadoes and Jamaica. They were received on their landing with appropriate honours, and the Bishop of Barbadoes was waited on at his residence by the clergy of the island with a congratulatory address on his landing; after which his Lordship wasisworn in as a member of the Council of the island. The Bishop subsequently visited the schools at Bridgetown, with the state of which he professed himself satis ,fiedi and w as about to proceed on a tour through the different parishes to visit the Episcopal establishments. The Bishop of Jamaica, with his suite, had sailed for that island on board his Majesty's ship Herald. The Lady Pelham packet, from Eng land, had arrived at Barbadoes,* and had b roug h t out a confir rnation'of the sentence of M. D'Egville, who had been found guilty of the murder of his wife by poison; but the legality of w hich sentence had been referred to the Crown Lawyers of England, whohad decided that his trial, and of course sentence of death for the crime of which he had been found guilty, were perfectly legal. He wait, 'in consequence, ordered for execu tion on the 14th February. It appears by accounts from Frankfort, that the purchasers of national domains in the ancient kingdom of Wesphalia; who were dispossessed of their property by ;the Elector of Hesse Cassel, on his return to his dominions, and who has re jected " their claims for an indemnity, are likelY to have justice rendered to them through the interposition of the King of PaosstA. The celebrated GOETHE has presented an ad dress to th'e,German: Diet for .a licence to print his works, so that. he may have a guarantee against pirated editions.

It answered the purpose of cheating and alarming a few.

Alarcon), the confirt mation of the battle of Ayacucho, on the 9th inst., under the orders of the immortal General sucre. After five months of skilful manoeuvring on both sides, and several engagements, which always resulted glorious -to our. arms, General Sucre took his position in Ayacucho, and- waited for.the enemy. On the Bth instant, the two armies had some skirmishes. On the 9th the Liberating Army was attacked by the enemy, who had posted himself on the heights in front of our camp. General Valdez, on the vanguard, commanded the right with four field-pieces, four battalions, and two squadrons of Hussars. General .31onent commanded the centre, with five battalions ; - and General Villalohos the left, with seven pieces and four battalions. The remainder of the cavalry and of the. Spanish army remained in the rear. Our attack was made in the following order :—General Cor- , dova attacked the right, with the second-divipipn-of Colombia,. composed of the battalions of Bogota, and the voltigeurs of Pi- • chinca and Caracas. General Lamar had the command of the left with the battalions of Peru, and Legions Nos. 1,2, and 3.—The division of General Lata was in reserve. . The two armies, although unequal in strength, were ardently desirous to fight. The number of the enemy consisted .of about 10,000. and that of ours 5,800. The battalions of the Second division of Colombia marched, with supported arms, with an intrepidity that has few examples. They had scarcely commen ce d th eir tire when the Spaniards began to lose ground, and confusion instantly became apparent among them. The division of- Peru, having met - With a more vigorous resistance at the enemy's vanguard, under General Valdez, was reinforced by General Lara, with two battalions underNencedor and Vargas, of the Colombian guard: From that moment nothing could resist-the impetuosity of our brave men. The second squadron of the hussars of :Junin, under the intrepid Commander - Olabarria, made a brilliant charge upon the enemy's squadron, which was posted on the right of General Valdez, and d obtained a complete victory. The gre nadiers of Colombia, 'laving alighted, charged on foot, by our right flank, the Spanish infantry. The regiment of hussars of Colombia, under the active Colonel-Silva, charged with their lances the grenadiers bf the Vice-Kiog'S guard, - and put theM to the route. This brave Colonel received three wounds by lances in the action. All our troops conducted themselves - as' heroes during the short but terrible shock of the battle. Our loss has been—.l General, eight officers, and 300 men killed ; and six Generals, 34 officers, and 480 men wounded. That - of the .enemy—the Vice-King wounded, six Generals dead, and 2,000 men, dead and wounded. • The rest of the Spanish army under General Cantarac capi tulated with General Sucre on the same day. By this capitu lation, all the possessions of the Spaniards in Peru are given up to this Republic. All the Spanish army, and 15 Generals, are in our power. _ • _ _ . .

The troops who guarded it occupied the free provinces of the North, and carried war against the 'Congress: , The Navy obey ed no longer:the commands of the Gtivernm en t. The Ex-Presi dent, Riva Agitero, by turns a usurper, rebel, and traitor • fought against his country and her allies. The auxiliaries of by their lamentable defection, deprived us of the assistance_ of-the troops ; and these of Buenous Ayres, having revolted in Callao against their Chiefs, delivered that place to the enemy. The President, Torre. Tagle, making an appeal to the Spaniards to I occupy this capital, achieved the destruction of P e r u . • • - --- Miteowl, misery, discontent, and personal interests had spread their bane throttle] evety parr of the country. Peru seemed to exist no more—all was,dissolved I Under these awful circum stances, the Congress appointed me a Dictator to save the relics of their last hopes. The loyalty, the constancy, and the valour of the army of Colombia, have performed this won. derful undertaking. The Peruvians, when a civil war was raging, acknowledged the legitimate Government, and have rendered immense services to the country ; while the troops who protected them, have covered themselves with glory on the fields of Junin and Ayacucho. Faction-. have disap peared from the soil of Peru. This capital has recovered for ever its sweet liberty. Callao is invested, and must be given up by capitulation. PERUVTANS !—Peace has succeeded to war: union to dis cord, order to anarchy, and happiness to misfortune ! But never forget, I beseech you, that for these blessings you are indebted to the illustrious victors of Ayaeucho: PEnuvlAws !—The day on which your Congress will meet, will be a day of glory ! the day that will consummate the most fervent wishes of my ambition—do not ask more !
