Most Excellent sir—General Ilion. named by the tiorernment
of Buenos .Iyres, to convey to your Excellency, in behalf of the
ihputies of Spain on this continent the preliminary convention
must bare reached you ntiont the same time that Pon Felix Alugs,
the Minister Plenipotentiary, attired here, whetting the Govern-
ment of Pent to accede to this convention.
Thls Gorernment has been inferined of the favourable desire of
your Excellency to itrininate a itanguinary war, more monstrous by
its inconsistency than by the downers • Itich it occasions. The
enlightened world is srat.dslised $ this fratricidal contest, in wh;ii
the WAS of liberty in both hemispheres tight against each other.
without the Spaniard* on their side being able to determine the ob-
ject.j Cannon have resounded too long ere the imperious voice
.
of justice 2E4 butxxoity `ate been heard, thwsgh the :nun* of •

formal ccgociation. The Crates and the King, far from revolting
at the independence of America, have authorized their Commission.
en to the northern and southern conttneats to treat with them on
this heals. Buenos Ayres and Mexico have already coneltu!ed their
treaties. A negotiation its llogeta is already set on loot by the
Spanish agents on an armistice and preliminaries of peace with re-
spect to Colombia. Why, then, shall Peru alone be the Setae of
the most dreadful war, when the Spanish troops in her territory are
directed by your Excellency, whose sentiments of philanthropy, as
well as the liberal principles which animate the chiefs utyour army;
are so well known ? Let the effusion of blood, then, tease; let
reason regain her rights ; and let us preserve those forces which
should give subsistence and life to the country. The Government
of Peru invites your Excellency to declare explicitly your intentions
and will, respecting the preliminary convention celebrated between
the Commissioners of his Catholic Majesty and Buenos Ayres. To
this effect your Excellency might appoint Deputies to proceed to
/Ouija, the same thing taking place on the part of this Government.
In order to commence a conference, and to establish some points
which may contribute to give formality to this ncgociation, the
Brigadier General Don Juan de Berindosgs, Minister ot State, of
War, and Marine, and also charged with the Department of Fo.
reign relations, is now despatched to your Excellency. Peru may
hope. that the day will soon dawn which is to behold the Spaniards
and Peruvians again linked together with the indissoluble ties pro-
duced by goad tiiith, perpetual friendship, and the advantageous
union formed by reciprocal rights.
I have the honour to oWer to your Excellency the sentiments of
the highest consideration and esteem with which I subscribe my-
self your most attentive and obsequious servant.

cellent Don Jose de la Sem.

riga, and General-in-Chief of the Staff, with instructions to have

These things having taken place, in pursuance of the philanthropic
idols of my Government, and, I being obliged to proceed to Lima,
as I am not permitted to speak to your Excellency, it is my duty

Ayres, and other reciprocal int...vats: your Excellency will please
to command, if you should thing proper, two Deputies, to pro-
ceed to Xsuja, or any ooer point where the same member will
immediately be sent to Pau. I hope your Excellency, pene-
trated with the necessity of putting an end to the war, opposed to
the views of this adightesod age. and to all liberal principles, will
be pleased to accede to these measures proposed by my Government,
anxious to enjoy peace, as tne greatest good that any triumph
could obtain.
I have the honour of offering to your excellency the sentiments
of the most respectful consideration, with which I am your Ex-
cellency's most attentive and obsequious servant.

llly dear l'resident —I have seen with the greatest satisfaction
the result of the mission of (lettered Berindoaga, as it was per-
fectly well managed by the negotiator. By this step we have been
able to sound the feelings and state of the enemy. General Wein-
&saga has done very well in giving the enemy the idea of a new
treaty which might be favourable to them : thus they may he led
to expect something from the negotiation. On the whole. every
thing has appeared to nos perfectly right. I understand that ton
have desired to have a document front me, %hewing my approba-
tion of the measure of eu:ering into the negaciation with the
enemy. This document is justly desired. and lam ready to give
it in the most 'florin manner ; but I will observe to you. with
frankness, that a doubt of my probity has never yet occurred but
to my enemies, and I hays never considered you as inc of the n.
'fheproposxl of Carrion for a minister was a piece of to,gctfillitess
on my part. not recollecting at the time that there was a minister
i appointed, and in the exercise of his functions. 1 knew :fait Mr.
% aldiviero wall in the territory of Rita Averts, and that bctoce he
' had been minister, and nothing more. I have for Mr. I'aldiviero
the Esteem and consitieration whi:h he deserves. Have the good-
ness to make this public. To General Berindosza, to whom ant
going to write very fully. have the goodness to present in tar 11:10111
lithe, the expressions of my saiisfactinn, far his excellent conduct
in the mission he has just fulfilled. A:rept, for yourself. Out ex.
