weeks at London.
Orders hareem-re from the Government to land the officers who
arrived in the -port of Cadia the *7th of April, en board of the
Tea, in 1111 days (tom Peru. It seems that the Viceroy La sterns
fought desperately ; he was beaten only in consequence of the de-
fection of his troops, a great part of whom went over from the in.
surgento during the battle.
This morning, at ten o'clock, ter two frigates, the Amphitrite
and the Amazon, suddenly pet to sea, with one or two brigs, and it
is said that they are going in pursuit of the Colombian frigate the
Maria Isabella, which has distinguished itself by its depredations
and the injury it had done to the merchants of Cadiz. Perhaps
there may be found some gnglish vessel to protect the Colombian
irleate. The sailing of these two frigates has produced a good
effect.
elajor-General Don Pin Trislon, who has the thief command of
the army in Peru, has assumed the title of Viceroy ad Witerim.
It is certain that General Olaneta is at the head of a corps which
is increasing daily, and that none of his soldiers are disposed any
more than himself to admit the capituMtinn signed by Camerae.
Detesting more than Wei Bolivar and the Colombian,. I ha natives
of Peru are everywhere organizing guerilles to carry on a war of
extermination against them. All the villages are rising in a mass
under the conduct of their Ciziques.
General Rndil has above a year's provisions in the fort of Callao.
From the well.known character of this officer we may be assured
that he will march against Lima as soon as the Colombians there
shall he menaced by the Royal army.

MADRID, MAT 23.
General Loriga, who came back shout two months ago, announc-
ing the great advantages gained by the Royalists in Peru, has juts
been appointed Captain-General of the Island of Cuba, in the room
•of General Vies, who notwithstanding some arbitrary acts, had in
these difficult times been able to conciliate the esteem of the ioha-
blunts. It is thought that this appoiiittnent is the result of n
bargain with one of our men of influence. The conditions are a
rich bribe and the expulsion of the Bishop of the Havannah, a
personal enemy of the gentleman beforementioned. Even force
will be employed in case of need, if this prelate, whose opinions
have already-drawn upon him much persecution. should refuse
to abandon his Cork, alleging as he has already done his real in-
firmities. Pinillos has just been named Intendant of the
Havantsh, before the departure of M. Loriga. The former
gentleman yntreday went to Aranjetiz, whence he will continue
his route to Cadiz. where he will embark on board a French frigate,
which will conduct him on his destination. The Government has
authorised Ma to arrange, as he shall think fit, the finances of the
Island of Cabo. This Intendant will meet Colonel Quesada,
' who-is soon to arrive in Europe, commissioned to demand front the
Government an acknowledgement of cite independence of the New
American States, in order that all their hostilities and projects
against the Island of Cuba may be abandoned. It is well known
that the Mexicans and Colombians design, in case thoe.ohould not
be able to take the forts of the H avanoali, to raise the slaves, and
ravage the country. Colonel Quesada is charged with the powers
of all the-corporations and princieal proprietors of she Island.
General Bourmont is about, it is said, to arrive here in quality of
Ambassador Extraordinary.
Travellers from Andalusia tell us, that it is no looger possible
to travel in that country, and that although their company amounted
to sixty armed men, yet they were hardly able to force their way
through the bands which occupied the defiles. All the provinces
that they came through were so burned up by the drought, that it
would not he possible to gather in enough of grain to serve as seed
for the following year. The misery is extreme, and the lower
orders already begin to complain and make themselves feared.
The loan is is still in suspense. 11. Tassin is st present looked
up to, and is about to take charge of some important financial
affairs. It is time that something should be done; the treasury is
empty, and the want of money is felt mere than ever. It is in vain
that recourse has been had to the impolitic measure of forced loans;
not only they produced nothing, but have caused discontent among
those classes of hodirlduals from whom It Is wished to raise them.
At this crisis the Constitational party begins to raise its head, and
is moreover reinforced by undecided Royalists. A Charter, with two
Chambers, is openly enough spoken of.
