SOUTH AMERICA.

(From the New York Papers to Aug. 281
BRAZIL.

The political information is not void of interest. The accounts
state that the revolutionists were successful In the tint engagement,
which took place early in June; the Brazilians being compelled to
retreat into Monte Video. The reinforcements formerly mentioned
reached the city subsequent to the affiir, and four sad of armed
vessels (brigs), from Rio, arrived to protect the trade.
The country about Monte Video was still (on the 2lst June) la
a state of revolution. Two vessels of war, and about 1,600 troops
from Rio Janeiro, had arrived at Monte Video for the protection of
that place. Llavallejs, at the head of the revolutionists, had pos-
session of the Mount, and some skirmishing had taken place near
the walls of Monte Video. A Brazilian man-of.war brig was in
the river, and boarded all vessels passing. The Blakely was
brought to by her, and saw them board a brig under Buenos
Ayrean colours, after which she Steered for Monte Video. Every
thing remained quiet at Buenos Ayres ; but it was expected that
war between that Government and the Studien would take place
'Moray. A corvette from Rio Janeiro, with despatches for the
Buenos Ayrean Government, had arrived at Illon,e Video, and was
daily expected at Buenos Ayres. The Congress of Buenos Ayres
was in Session, deliberating ou the confederation of the different
provinces.
PERU.

We have received the Gazettes of Lima to the 17th of March.
The Congress of Peru was dissolved on the 10th March. The
most important of its acts were. a law authorising the Libe-
rator to assist Colombia with troops, vessels, and every necessary
succour. Another law authorised the advance of the United Army,
at the discretion of the Liberator, to any point front whence Peru
might be threatened with invasion.
It appears also by the Lima papers that President Bolivar has
issued a Decree, removing the restrictions which have hitherto
operated to the prejudice of foreigners :
Article 1. The third article of provincial regulations of commerce
of the 28th April, 1821, is annulled.
2. Consequently foreigners are authorised to exercise their mer-
cantile industry, without the necessity of appointing a consignee, a
citizen of I'eru.

An. 4 says, " Foreigners are to enjoy the protection of the law
equally with Peruvians. and to be subject to the same taxes."
Letters from Lima of l Ith of April state. that General Bolivar
had set out for the provinces of Upper Peru, having left or-
ganised a Council of Government.
