AMERICAN PAPERS.

We have received New York Papers to the 9th ultimo.
Their contents neither corroborate uor disprove the Guay-
aquil letter, upon which alone rests the alleged victory of
Bolivar, in Peru. The following arc extracts :-
1 From the Philadelpleiu Go7:rile of June 30.1
Prat.—To Captain 3Plietzie, of the brig Bevan, we are in-
debted for Jamaica papers of ore day later than those received
yesterday, namely, June the Io,h. They contain advice, front
Panama to the 31st of May, which are exactly one month and tour
days later than the accounts from the same regions, on which the
editor of the New l'utk J'na rests his hopes, that all is
well in Peru; and it may serve to exemplify the kind of news
received from that quintr to state, that these advicca of May
31st add few particulars to those of April 27th. We cannot,
however, say, that the colouring given to facts in our papas is
the most encouraging. They do, indeed, hold out hopes that all
may be well in Peru at some future period ; but, for the present,
they state most explicitly, that when General Canterac took Lima,
Torre Tagle, the late Presid,mt, went over to the Royalists with
a force which augmented their number to 13.090. The news that
Bolivar had proceeded to Truxilio is confirmed. His troops,
amounting to 0,000, were encamped about forty leagues from
Lima.

The following is an extract of a letter from Panama, dated
stay
Camerae., the. Royalist General, was in possession of Lima ;
the Patriot forces at Patsvilca, 120 miles distant. Bolivar, who
is declared Supreme Dictator, had gone to Truxillo to form some
sort of order amongst the authorities, as Torre Tagle, the late
President, joined the Royalists on their entering Lima. It is not
likely a battle will take place very soon, the Colombians acting
on the defensive, the Royalists being so much superior in num-
ber. Bolivar was in expectation of a reinforcement to the amount
of 7 or 8,04)0 men by the middle of May. On their arrival little
doubt is entertained of the issue being the liberation of the
whole of Peru.

NEW Vona, Jut.r 3.

It is, says the rnifed SPlrs Ge:retie, a source of ranch surprise
to many people, that Iturbide, Kipn received from the Mexican (13_
vernment so great an annual pension on the conditions of his re-
maining quiet in Italy, should again wish to enter the list with his
enemies, and leopard his fortmes and his life. Iturbide has been
a King—an Emperor—ant' Jere arc few who lay down the sceptre
without a sigh—who leave their royul palaces, to become pensioners
upon the bounty of enemies, without eastirg "one longing linger-
ing look behind."
The terms upon which Iturbide was dismissed from office, we
proofs that he had even then many friends in power at 3lexico ; and
there can be no doubt that, from the disappointment which will ever
rise in the formation of a new government, his friends hare in-
creased in numbers and in zeal. It will be recollected that bur-
bide sailed from England for Mexico. with oily fourteen curve-
niotts ; there appears in that circumstance a proof that I e has held
communications with his formsr open adherents, and might expect
efficient aid on landing in America. The enlistment of troops
would, we think, hare indicated en uncertainty, at least ; but thus
relinquishing his stipend, procuring arms, taking his wife and in.
fant children, and c`hxwing but a few tried friends, certainly indi.
eates an intimate understanding between him and men of conse-
quence in Mexico ; his opportunity of watching the movements of
the Allied Sovereigns, and becomingactrainted with the design
of Ferdinand of Spain, has aided in bringing to an early crisis any
insurrection which might have been contemplated. Meantime,
whatever may be the hopes of the Ex-Emperor of Mexico, the
proximity of that Government to cur own Republic renders his
movements interestirg in the highest degree to this country.

FROM 31anacatzo.—The Claccoa Cos:rune of the 111,t1; of
June has published a speech of 31r. Sutherland, tl.e Consul of
Great Britain, at an entertainment given to General Urdanetta, on
his arrival at Maracaibo. Air. Sutherland's health having been
drunk, be rose, and after congratulating the company on the
frier.dly relations about to be established between Great Britain
and Colombia, remarked as follows:

" I have every reason to hope that the first intelligence from
Europe will acquaint us of the Continental Powers having aban-
doned all intention of interfering in the concerns of the free States
of South America, and of their having relinquished all right, ex.
ceps what may accrue to them from friendly negotiations. But,
Sir, should those Governments still persist in a project, which I
consider not less criminal than ridiculous, I have any thing but
reason to fear their sureess : that powerful and undaunted navy,
which their combined fleets have been before taught to respect,
will, early hi its career, if not totally destroy, at least lop drone!
limb of their expedition. The President of the United States of
America will claim another as his share, and I doubt not you sill
dispose of the maimed earrase in I 'olombia with a doe appreciation
of the object for which it may be sent amongst you."
General Crilemetta said that he had lately seen his Britannic
31ajosty's Commissioners at Bogota, who had assured the Colom-
bian Cmernment of the frierdly disposition of England towards
Colombia, and that lie b.,ketl Inman' with great ideasure to the
establishment of such reLtions as would be mutually advantageous
to both countries; that he was particularly gratified at finding at
the port of .11araeaiho, a gentleman so capable of i:romoting the
good feeling that it was desirable to maintain :NtWix.t Colombia
