This proposal was immediately forwarded to General
Sucre, who was at Potosi with a considerabludotacitugint
of the Colombian army, and after some delay, it mss, it
is said, decidedly negatived—it being considered dint, from

General Rodil is charged in-the letter with muclr ertbdttYr
and particularly with his having sent from Callao all wo-
men, children, and infirm persons not capable of assisting
in the defence of the place.
When the accounts left Lima it was believed that some
fresh negotiations had been commenced between the Mi-
litary Governor of Callao and Colonel Alvarez. It is Said
that a serious mutiny occurred in the garrison in the end
of May, but that it was suppressed by the energy and acti-
vity of Rodil.
The other news from Lima in the letters is not of Mtieh
interest. A good deal of negotiation had taken place -lot-
tween the members of the Government and certain persons
employed on behalf of European speculators, to Amin
grants of mines in the neighbourhood of Pasco. The wirole
of Peru was tranquil, and it was supposed, as scioh,ts
Callao had submitted, the Colombian forces would quit
the territory. An expectation had been prevalent that
several thousand men would be sent across the Andes, to
assist Buenos Ayres, bat we do not find that any nedex-
fated for such an expedition. Gen, Bolivar had not quitted
Arequipa, but his health was perfectly restored, and he
was actively engaged in making intetnal arrangements for
the government of that part of Peru.

LIVERPOOL, W DNESD4a, Nov. IL
[FROM Ora CORRESPONDENT.
The accounts by the Lydia from Miramidii, do not giver
any more particulars than what are already known respect-
ing the fire there, further than that it had peaked, in conse-
quence of the rain which had fallen.. The Captain states,
that the noise of the fire and hurricane was most terrific ;
it was heard for three days previous to its reaching the
town of Newcastle. By a Halifax paper of October 17,
it appears that a subscription has been entered into, and
t,OlO/. raised there.

Our Cotton Market remains dull, though prices are
tolerably steady, excepting the lower qualities of Americans,
which are not quite so saleable. The sales are about Ca
.5,000 bales.

FIRE AND HeRitIC:iNZ dT MIRAMICHI.

PARTICUT.ATIS, DROUGHT AT THE WILLI/611 DAN.
SON, WHICH ARRIVED AT LIVERPOOL ON TVEADAY.
M I RMIIIICItIs OCT. 11.
On the night of the 7th inst., this place exhibited one of
the most terrific scenes that a conflagration is capable of
producing.
The climate, for two days previous, was so intensely
close and warm, that all doubt was removed as to some
great fire existing in the woods, and on the approach of
the night of the 7th, it commenced its sad devastation. •
The wind blew a violent hurricane from the north-weaft
and brought with it, from Douglastown, Newcastle, and
the surrounding country, such immense clouds of flames
and ashes, that it became extremely difficult to retain any
position, or to breathe at Chatham. The appearance of
the Heavens was awful; representing, as far as the eye was
capable of extending, but one unvarying body of flames ;
the effect of which was frightfully increased from the ap-
palling roar of the fire through the country in all quarters,
the wind blowing with such violence as to occasion the air
to resound with one incessant thunder.

Among the vessels in the river, a number were cast on
shore, three of which, namely, the ships Concord and Ca-
nada, together with the brig Jane, were consumed; others
were, fortunately, extinguished after the fire had attacked
them.
At Dougla.stown scarcely any kind of property escaped
the ravage of the fire, which swept to the surface every
thing coming in contact with it, including the extensive
mercantile establishments of Messrs. Gilmour, Rankin, and
Co., Messrs. W. Abrams and Co., together with their vi s.
ad then on the stocks; as also the proplirty of numerous
others, leaving but time for the unfortunate inhabitants to
fly to the shore, and there, by means of boats, cano: s, rafts
of timber, timber logs, or any article, however ill calculated
for the purpose, endeavour to escape from the dreadful
scene and reach the town of Chatham, numbers of men,
women, and children, perishing in the attempt.
The town of Nuwcastle, with all the surrounding settle.
menta, became a total waste, except about fourteen build-
ings. Among those which were laid in ashes were the
Court-house, Church, Barracks, and Gaol, and for miles
through all pasts of the interior of the country, where mer-
cantile, farming, and timber business were carried ou to
a great extent, the greatest savages and desolation took.
place.
From the magnitude of the fire, and the dreadful vio-
lence of the winds, it is almost impossible to form an accu-
rate idea of the extent of the loss of lives or property. •
The remote settlements from the entrance of the river to
the extreme of it present to the eye the dreadful havoc of
this calamitous event, particularly those of the North
West Branch, the Ballibog, and Nappan, some of which
have scarcely a place of habitation left ; and the lives that
were lost are innumerable ; the shores, at almost every
change of wind, exhibiting dreadful spectacles of the burnt
and drowned.

In some parts of the country the cattle have all•bren
destroyed, or suffered greatly, and the very soil, in mut:"
places, has been parched and burnt up, and no article of
provision, to speak of, has been rescued from the flames,
either at Newcastle (where almost eyfry important met-
cantile establishment perished), or at Muglastown. •
The hurricane raged with such dreadful violence, that
large bodies of timber on fire, as also trees from the forest,
and parts of the flaming houses and stores, were (tarried tv
the rivers with amazing velocity, to such an extent, and
affecting the water in such a manner, as to occasion haw
quantities of salmon and other fish to resort to the !ann.
hundreds of which wore scattered on the shoresef the
north and south-west brandies.
Chatham at present contains about three Lirndr-d of the

ments, burnt, wounded, or in the most abject state of 11l
tress ; and it is reported that two hundred bodies have
been actually discovered.
At this scene the heart sickens, to see the widows;
widowers, anti orphans, that are without clothing, h:smes.
or the means otsubsistence ; and it is impossible, at t:Pe
early period, to say how many hundreds have been added
to the dead, or have survived to know that a faille.,
mother. sister, or brother, has been devoured by the tartar.,
or perishol by the wave, not only from the circumstance
of numerous families in the back settlements not being yet
heard of, but also from the want of infornsation regarding
the fate of large lumbering parties in the interior of 'the
woods, who, it is feared, have fallen victims tb the flames.
In a situation, therefore, of such unparalleled therein
and calamity. it is hoped the hand of humanity will be ex.
tended to relieve the peculiar sufferings of our fellow.
creatures, and administer a balm to the torn feelings an
wants of those who have, in this most distressing manner.
been deprived of their dearest and best friends, and cast ors
the humanity of the world perfect beggars.
