The Zea, a corvette of the Kpanish royal navy. commanded by
B. Hall, arrived the day before yesterday from Quilca, in Peru,
after a voyage of 118 days. Captain Hall has landed alone, and
the corvette bas kid no commurication with the port. It has
orders to tire upon any boats which may approach within a certain
distance, and the owner of the boat is to pay a tine of 100 franca.
Two hours after his landing, Captain Hall set out for Madrid,
with despatches for the King.
Yesterday, arrived the St. Lawrence, merchantman, in 47 days
from Porto Rico ; no communication is allowed with the port, and
the Captain has been titled 190 piastres, for having communicated
with a fishing boat. Notwithstanding all these precautions, we
have, however, heard at Cadiz, that there were on board the Zee
several officers of the armies of Conferee and Ls Selma ; that the
Pezula wiled from Quilts for Spain four days before the %ea, like-
wise with some officers of the Viceroy's army ; and lastly, that the
Saint Francis d'A ssise. ship cf the line, and the Achilles, brig, had
railed from Lima for Manilla, to endeavour to cheek the spirit of
opposition to the Government of the Pesinsuls, which showed itself
in the Island.

MADRID, MA* 5.
An express from Cadiz, that arrived on the 9d, has given rise to
a report that a vessel from the coast of Peru had arrived in that
port, with a great many officers of La Serna's army, and a dozen
monks who seek refuge in Spain
While vessels arrive in all the ports of Europe with the melan-
choly recital of our irreparable disasters in l'eru, and others bring
es Cadiz the remnants of our armies, it is curious to see our Go-
vernment loudly proclaim an expedition of two regiments fitting
cut at Corunna, to go, it is said, to re-conquer Peru, where the
armies of Camerae and La Serrahave failed. But we must not be
deceived respecting the object of this expedition; for it is not to
Peru, on which our Ministers think no longer, but to the Baran_
nab, that they mean to nerd it, to prevent, if possible, the emanci-
pation of that rich Colony. Some young Frenchmen have lately
arrived, to enlist in the squadron of foreign Oardes du Corps.
General Santos Leans) has lately sent a column of Spanish troop
in pursuit of a band of malefactors who traverse ede valley of Ron-
cal, and have even advanced to Dena. The greatest excesses they
commit are against the monks.
