PERU.
The sbip General Smith, Captain Robinson, of and for Bahl.
more, 82 days from Lima, has arrived in Hampton Roads. By
this arrival we have intelligence trout that place as late as the Ist
of October.

e frigate Unitel States, Commodore Hull, was in Chnrillos
Ray. The United States' ship Peacock, Captain Jones. sailed
last September hir Guayaquil ; all in good health on board both
I vess..ls. The Dolphin had sailed about the middle of August for
' the 3ltilgrive Islands. Lieutenant-Commandant Kennon, o•i the
occasion of the tru•tsfer of his command of the Peacock to Captain
Jones. which took plate about the 20th of September, had a sword
voted to him by the crew of that vessel.
An American Prig from Gibraltar arrived at Coquimbo about
the first of August (while the Peacock was lying there), which was
taken possession of by the Chilian authorities, on suspicion of
having Spanish property on board. Lieutenant•Comdt. Kennon,
then in command of the Peacock, on learning the facts, and having
reason to believe that no such plea existed fur the detention of the
brig, took possession of her; and being on a strict examination I
confirmed in this opinion. lie immediately released her.
Callao was still in possession of the Royalists, and it is supposed
would hold out at least six months longer, notwithstanding it was
closely blockaded by the Peruvian squadron. which con-
sisted of one frigate, one sloop of war, two brigs and two schooners.
Bolivar was still in Uper Peru.
The ship General Brown. Copeland, and cargo, had been eon.
denoted. This vessel's cargo was partly Spanish property, and
that pert was given up and condemned; afterwards a quantity of
aw.rd blades was fourd on bo• rd, which being contraband, and
the vessel having been bound into Callao, were considered good
grounds of condemnation of the American part of the cargo and
the vessel.

The ships Alfred, Smith, of Boston; Friendship. Osgood, of
Salem, and brig Potomac, of New York, had been taken up by
the Government, and sailed about the first week in September for
Arica, as transports. A number of other vessels had also been
taken up for the purpose of transporting troops. but previous to
their sailing orders were received countermanding them. The Chili
squadron, consisting of a frigate and a brig of war, commanded
by Admiral Blanco, had been ordered ttp to Valparaiso, and would
sail in a few days.

BRAZIL.

Advice!' from Rio to the 14th ult. have been received at Halti.
more by the schooner Blucher. The indications of war between
Buenos Ayres and the Emperor of Brazil were becoming more
apparent, and prepsrations were making for it in every department.
The men of war were all ordered to be immediately ready for sea.
A letter from Rio of the 12th says, in case of hostilitiea, a blockade
of the River La Plata would be immediately laid and strictly en-
forced.

These accounts. direct from Brazil, confirm the statement made a
few days ago, of the total detest of the Emperor's troops by the
Patriots of the Banda Oriental, and add further, that the remainder
of the army generally joined the standard of liberty.
The German troops, who were employed by the Emperor to
keep the Pernambucans in order, had not been permitted to ac-
tomplish thus object quietly, and a serious disturbance had taken
place between some of the people and one of the regiments. in
which the Pernambucans suffered considerably. Two Colonels had
been sent to Rio for trial.

It was currently reportrl at Rio that Lord Cochrane was to re-
turn front England in the frigate Piranga, when she was refitted.
