" By the command of his lacellerroy the Liberator, I have the
satisfaction to announce to you, that yesterday, at five in the
afternoon, the Spanish army experienced a dreadful humiliation
on the plains of Junin, two and a half leagues from this place.
The cavalry, on which the enemy principally relied for the
subjection of Peru under the Spanish yoke, has been beaten In
Inch a manner, that it will not again present itself on the field
of battle.

" His Excellency, informed that the enemy had approached fon
the purpose of reconnoitring us with the whole of his forces united,
began his march with the liberating army from Conocancha, with
vie determination of bringing them to a decisive action. In the
mean time, the enemy, who had advanced as far as Pasco, retraced
their steps by forced marches, in consequence of the notice they
had received of the direction which our army had taken.
"His Excellency reckoned upon forcing them to a general en-
gagemeet, by posting himself in their rear on the road which they
must have taken towards Jauja; but the precipitate haste with
which they marched enabled them to reach and even to pass the
point in which we should have attacked them several hours be-
fore our army, which had a long journey to perform through a
rough and uneven tract of country, could come up. Upon this his
Excellency, observing that the enemy continued their retreat
without intermission, and considering, on the other hand, that the
opportunity of relieving this unfortunate land from oppression, and
of deciding the fate of the country, had escaped him, determined
to advance in person with the cavalry, which was under the corn.
tool of the intrepid General Nicochea, at a trot, and to post it in
theory plain which was occupied by the enemy, hoping that when
they perceived us, they would boldly seize the opportunity which
presented ioelf of gratifying their desires; or that, viewing the
Inferiority of our cavalry, they would hazard an action to save the
whole of their Amy. The event answered these expectations;
for, through a blind confidence in their cavalry, the enemy charged
our horse in a situation very disadvantageous to us. The shock of
these two bodies was tramendons ; and at the end of the different
conflicts, in which both parties seemed to obtain the advantage,
the enemy's cavalry, thoorh superior in number and better mounted
that oust, was poi into confusion, beaten, and driven back with
diviner to the tiles of their infantry, which, during the action,
had continued its march towards Jauja, and was many leagues
Net the field when the battfl was decided. Our cavalry has
emend a courage which my pen is unable to express, and which
to orly be conceived by re' e-. to ages of chivalry.
" Ihe molt of this -brilliant battle has been 236 dead on the
fell. amongst whotn were ten chiefs and office's. 31ore than 300

imhout ceasing, at a rapid pace, and it ours had been able to fly,

ORANGEIS3f IN AMERICA.

BATTLE OF THE BOYNE.

[From the New York Cotnnwreial.idvertiser.l
The October term of the Court of Sessions for the city and county
of New York, cm closed on Saturday. It will ha remembered that
at the last term, four of the persons called Orangemen, were con.
victed of an assault and battery, upon one James Momey, viz.
George Black, David Waugh, John Mullin, and John Moore; but
their sentence was suspended until a trial on one of the cross-indict.
mems could be had at the present term ; there having been five in-
dictments against the Orange party, and three 1 indictments
against three of thou professing the Roman Catholic religion. The
names of the latter were Hugh 21`Avoy, and Cecelia his wife,
James Cassedy, David M`Williams, and Timothy Leary. This
was an affray which took plate in the village of Greenwich, on the
12th of July last, in consequence of a celebration by the Orange.
men of the anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. Our readers
must by this time have become so well acquainted with the lead-
ing facts of this use, that it Is hardly necessary minutely to re-
capitulate theni; we pass on, therefore, to the observations of the
Recorder on this occasion—premising, that on the latter trial of the
Catholics, he had stated the law in strong and decisive terms to be
—that whatever provocation might have been given, it could not
amount to a justification—not even though the first blows, as well
as the first provocation, came from one party : that no person was
permitted to mingle in an affray, unless with a view to prevent
further mischief; and that any person so interfering, was bound
at his peril to give notice that his intention was to keep peace, and
not to take part in the affray. And as it appeared that the parties
lived on opposite sides of the street, and that the battle had taken
place on the side occupied by the Orangemen. there was there.
fore a presumption that the others bad crossed the street with a
view of encountering them, and that it resembled the case of two
men going out to bog by agreement—the one accepting the
challenge of the other, in which ease, both parties, and all that
took part with either, were alike guilty of a breach of the peace.
Messrs. Emmet and Sampson, of counsel for the Catlklie party,
agreed that their clients should, the trials having already been
greatly protracted, submit to a verdict against them, leaving it to
the wisdom of the Court to admonish the aggressors, in such man.
ner as they should think the case required, and to bind the parties
respectively to keep the peace. On Saturday the respective parties
appearing, pursuant to their recognizance'. the Recorder first ad.
dressing himself to the Orangemen, proceeded substantially as fol-
. lows :—He began by representing to those called I Irnngemen and
' Purple Marksmen, the extreme absurdity.—not to call it by a worse
r.atne—of their reviving, in this country, such antiquated. danger.
ous, and unbecoming prejudices. Perhaps they had not been
long here, and had not yet discovered how worse titan contemptible
I such violent and unjustifiable antipathies, on the score of religion,
I must appear; and he hoped that it would he unnecessary to apply
that severe correction that often in cases of this kind had been
known to harden rather titan reform the offenders.

After some general observations on the evils of religious pease.
eution. the Recorder proceeded to address the defendants personally
to the following effect :
" With respect to Catholics, or United Irishmen, roe so these
have been altereately denominated, we possess in them valuable
accessions to our strength, and ornaments to society. Their cha-
racters are known to us all, and to me in particular. 11'e again re.
gret that any of them should have suffered themselves to have been
provoked or betrayed by their feelings into an affray which has not
only coot them much time and trouble, but brought them into this
place as offenders against our laws. 31r. 3l•Avoy appears to be a
respectable man, and you all look like, and are represented as in-
dustrious citizens. For Mr. M!..lvoy there is some excuse, as he
went into the affray to protect his wife front insult and injury.
Mrs. M'Avoy also is • respectable female ; but she was wrong in
throwing a stone, although she did so from seeing • relation
in trouble anions diem With respect to you who are called
Orangemen, or purple marksmen, the Court, from well considered
motives, are inclined, for this time, to let your own reflections
counsel and direct you to • better way of thinking—you will con-
sider how much of your time you have lost by getting into quarrels
and prosecutior.s, to your impoverishment. And all of you must
feel bow such passions tend to embitter your own lives, and to dis-
credit yourselves in this condnenity, which receives you with the
only onditioa that you respect the laws, and conduct yourselves
with propriety. You will also soon perceive that political (snail_
"ism, though not so odious, can lead to no good result, and that
nothing can be more absurd than the cherishing of idle re:nem.
brances and antipathies, formed upon events so antiquated, and fo-
reign to the opinions and concerns of the country which you have
selected for Your habitation. You are at perfect liberty to comme-
morate any festivals of public events, but it must be done in a man-
ner to give no offence to your neighbours, or to disturb the public
peace. As to the celebration of the battle of the Boyne, of what
good can it be to yourselves, while it ran but appear absurd to us ?
It appears that about 123 years ago, King William made war upon
his father-in-law, King James, and obtained a victory upon the
banks of the Boyne. This was also considered a victory over the
Catholics, and the respective parties took sides. It men are so irra-
tional as to look back into antiquity for causes of perpetual feuds,
at what time is there to be peace upon this earth ? In this country
I ft appears too foolish to be seriously spoken of, and we hope that
I your reason will better cure these unmeaning bickering', than a
I heavy punishment. Therefore, to give it a better chance to ope-
rate, we shall fur •he present trust to this admonition, and order
that each of you who have been found guilty, be bound in your
own recognizance' fur '2OO dollars, with a security in lOn dollar to
keep the peace for one year, It !ming that by that time you will be
of opinion that your best policy and your truest interest and happi-
ness, will be in conforming to the laws that protect you, and avoid-
ing the consequences that must follow, it such disorders should
ever be repeated by any of you."
