LONDON, MONDAY, Auoviir SO, 1624.

The Hatubtugh Papers received yestailay repea., from
the Conserrateur Imptrti,4l, a journal publiAted at St.
Petersburgh, that the Capitan Paella, after reducing Ipsara
to a heap o ruins, had returned to 3iitylene to land Lis
wounded, and refit the armament under his con:matt),
bringing with him, among other things, as trophies of his
sucetss, 6,;0 heads and 2,000 ears. No authority, how-
ever, is quoted for this intelligence, and knowing the dis-
position of the Uussian Government towards the Greeks,
and the enslaved state of the press of rettTsburgli, we may
not without reason hope that this is an exaggerated, if not
a wholly grountlkss rumour.

The last accounts from Peru still leave undecided the
disputed the fact of Bolivar's victory over Camerae on the
6th of May. A little time, however, now must confirm or
disprove the accuracy of the intelligence conveyed in the
noted Guayaquil 1• mt.." Certainly the news front that
quarter has all latterly tended to prepare us for the confir-
mation of the overthrow of the Spat!!.2l power in Peru.
It appears that the Colombian Liberator moved en the 12th
April from,Truxillo upon lluancacq with a veteran force'
or nearly 10,000 men, for the purpox of attacking Canterae,
previous to the arrival of Valdes from .the south with
reinforcements. Son e liters from Cbih express an appre-
hension, that the junction would be made before Bolivar
could carry his plan into execution. But it is worthy of
reetark. that even where thes.: fears existed, no doubt was
rn....rtained of the final success of the Colombian warrior.
Sucre was let in a strongly fortified position in the mom.
tsins with the recruits, to await the troops coming from
the Atlantic coast. Indeed, all dread must be retnoi ed
with respect to the issue of the «must, notwithstanding
the unparalleled treachery of the late Peruvian leaders.
'rho Mexican Government, sensible of their common
interest in the ..trulole, have sent six transports to Guaya-
quil with troep3, tvlio had immediately proceeded to the
h.:al-quarters of Bolivar. The allied force under his,
e.:ntmand, consisting of Co'otnbians, Mexicans, Peruvians,
era! Chilians, caimot fall short of 16,000 men. It is true
tl:e whole Spanish army is represented to exceed this num-
ber, but we must bear in mind that theirs are not veteran,
or even diselplinell troops. In great part they are composed of
Indians, who, on the first tinfavours!.;- tun:, will desert
the Spaniards, or aid in hunting them down. It is quite
manifest that the fate of Peru depends entirely en the ex-
ertions of Bolivar. The bulk of the population of that
country appear to be indifflrent whether they remain!
order the Spanish yoke. They have no feeling in favour
o'• national independence cr public freedom. The obvious
policy of the Spanish Viceroy h,s led him to moderate his
conduct towards the people, and they have at once taken
it for granted that all is to be sunshine for ever. The'
seeds of improvenivnt, however, are sown ; and cvcn•
if Bolivar wore to be defeated, the period could not
be distant when another effort for independence would
necessarily grow out of the oppression which the necessities
of the Spanish Government would again compel it to ex-
ercise over its Colonies. A letter we have given in another
column, from tl-e Coast of Peru, gives a finished portrait
of the arch-traitor, Torre Tagle. The Morning Chronicle,
we suspect, must begin to feel somewhat ashamed of the
ennmendations it bestowed cm this " man of the greatest
ireuenee among his countrymen," nihose proclamations,
a,• were told, spoke " Cie feelings and sentiments " of Peru.
lie will in all probability soon be here to give the Cl.rw:icle'
his thanks in person, unless Bolivar should intercept his'
flight, end execute upon him the judgment he himselfH
paned upon Rive Aguero, for the very same offence. If
he do escape, he may amuse himself, as Rive Aguero is
now doing in London, by publishing an apology fur his
political conduct.

An appeal to the bounty of the public on behalf a the
Italian Refugees now in London, has been sent to us, with
,a request that it •nay be inserted in our Paper. We have
no hesitation in giving publicity to the statement forwankal
to us by these unfortunate strangers. Their situation is
one which must move every benevolent heart, and their ap-
peal is at once touching and temperate. While th-y
do not affect to conceal the causes that led to their ex-
patriation, they contino their address to public sympathy
entirely to those common claie s of charity which, under
all circumstances, belong to the distressed. We understand
that their condition is, in many cases, extremely wretched,
and that they are, for the most part, dependent on the re-
sult of this application for their future subsistence. &Ole of
them are married ; one of them was a Deputy in the
Neapolitan Parliament, and several of them were Magh.-
trates and Professors. These unhappy persons are cer-
tainly entitled to relief, and we trust that, in their present
situation, no political feelings will deprive then of that
generous regard which cur countrymen have always be-
stowed on the miserable who have been compelled to seek
an asylum on our shores. The following is the appeal to
which we allude :

The political events which have of late so rgitated society have
thrown upon the bounty of the British public large numbers of
expatriated foreigners, whose situation is one of great destitution
and distress. Of theses considerable proportion have been gener-
ously relieved ; but mane are left, principally Italians, who, unless
Millie provision be made fur them' will be reduced to the very
lowest stage of want and misery. A few gentlemen. sympathizing
with their sufibrings, have associated themselves for the purpose
of makng c provision fur them, until measures can be taken to',
give them a permanent assistance: and with this view they would'
appeal to all who can feel for the situation of those exiled',
strangers, who have sacrificed their prospects and lost all in the
attempt to ameliorate the political institutions of their country.
Amoog them are ninny men of education and accomplishments,
for whom situations might possibly be found, if an effort were
made by those of influence in society ; and such relief would be
in Every respect more honourable and inure gratifying than any
other.

fore very uelikely to use any harelincas or unkindnees to his
slaves; and it ie most satisfactory to learn that the misled dalie-

any is a mere irvention of the philiters; and 1 think it will be ne-

Friday preceding, that his life was in danger. Information was
immediately Oven to Colonel Campbell, and the militia were on
the spot in little more than a couple of hours, and the first
infommtion alley received of their plot being divulged, was from
I seeing the ytel coats at Mr. 31alcoltres The negroes
now became alarmed, and went hoe the woods, leaving only three

in 'toy tonna letter. ({rte vessel of war can effecturdly blockade
Callao, so as to prevent any supplies from being obtained by sea ;
and if his Excellency can collect sufficient force to contend with the
Royalists, and invest the place by. land, Callao cannot held out any
length of time. This, however, is supposing the peark to be fa.
(mutably disposed towards him, anti keeping oat of eight the pro.

away : a few week* will decide the fare of Peru. If there be any
feeling in the Empire favourable to the cause of liberty, it must
be kept alive. Bad as the l'et uvims are as a nen tttt yet there are
many virtuous and enlightened individuals amongst them, who will
not allow the spirit of freedom to be totally subdued; and if
there is but ore spark of independence remaining in the coun-
try, it will, at some period, burst forth with increased strength,
the direful effects of which will be tenfold on the oppressors.
The Fly is at Callao, and great conlidence is placed on the
judgment, ability, and discretion of Captain 51artio, in protectin.g
the persons and property of the British merchants there at this en.
lien! juncture. Ile is generally allowed to bean officer of great pru-
dence, and of no ordinary degree of merit. The merchants are al-,
ready apprehensive that they may soon receive orders front the Spa.
nigh Guvernnient to quit the country, with their property ; but a
letter received at Arequipa, from lama, dated the sth of 3lisrch,l
mentions that British property is properly respected by the exist.'
ing Government. Canterac commands the army in the north ; his
force is stated to be 12.000 nal; ; Valdez commands in the South,
with an equal nuraber ; and Cluneta is stationed at Potosi with
another diaision of the amiy. The whole disposable force Of the
Spaniards is stated at 24,000 men, although reports, some time
some, stated it to be much leas. The men are regularly paid the full
amount of their wages ; hut the officers are come to the determina-
tion of receiving half-pay only, allots iag the ot:eer moiety to remain

l'htte Regiment, No. 11, that delivered up the forts to the enemy,
sigralising their treachery with three salutes. The magetines
were found replete oath every kind of stores and provisions; and
seven vessels of war, lying in the roads, also fell into the hauls
of the Royalists. Torre Tagle, Alines, and lierintloage, have

" The old, stale trick of printing and circulating papers to de-
