PERU.
We have received files of the Garda tid CoMenlo, of Lima, for
March, in one of which we find it aimed, that his Most Christian
Majesty's ft igate, Alerts Theresa, arrived at Chorillos on the 10th
March, having on board Rear-Admiral Rommel, Commander-in-
Chief of the French forces in the Pacific. On the 17th, the Admi-
ral addressed a note to the Minister of Foreign Relations, soliciting'
an audience with the Liberator Bolivar. On the Hith, ha was re-
ceived by the Liberator with much affability at Magdalena. Dur-
ing the interview, the Liberator was assured by the Admiral that
the French Government professed and entertained the purest senti-
ments of strict neutrality, with respect to the new American States.
It is stated that the Liberator was much satisfied with the interview
which he had had with the French Admiral. whose reputation, fur
frank and generous conduct, is well known along the Coast of Co-
lombia, by the manner in which he conducted himself in Laguira
when he was there under the command of Vicc-Admiral Jursen.
On that occasion the French contributed, although indirectly, to
the capitulation of Laguira, by refusing to lend the least assistance
to the Spaniards who defended the place.
Our private correspondence, which is to the Ist of April, Informs
us that Callao still held out, and that the Patriots had succeeded
in mounting six more guns of large calibre on their battery, and in
a few days the cannonading of the place was expected to commence
with great vigour.
The measures adopted by Bolivar for the reduction of Callao are
spoken of with admiration by every one, and his personal attend-
ance at the camp and general indifference to danger, are subjects of
much conversation. The shells from the castle frequently go a
mile over she batury, and as Rodil loses no opportunity of annoy-
ing the workmen, there is little done by day-light, but during the
night the work progresses rapidly, and without hindrance from
the fire of the enemy, who, it is supposed, is reserving his !ammo.
nition for the final struggie. The Patriots have a squadron off
Callao consisting of the Protector of 54 guns, Commodore Ellens.

gins was also there, but was soon to proceed in company with the

On the 17th of April, a Decree was published by the Govern-
ment of Peru, which was to go into operation in four months, and
which declares that—. The effects of every description belonging
to the subjects of Spain, which shall be in future introduced into
the territory of the Republic, shall be confiscated in favour of the
State, under whatever flag or in whatever *vessel they may be
found."
