AMERICAN PAPERS.
New YORK. JULY 13.—The following is a cur-
sory view of the state of the public affairs in Peru
up to the Bth of April, 18112 :
Lnia.—General La Scrna is at Janja -with up.
wards of 6,000 men. Since Canterac came down
in September last, and in his precipitate retreat has
lost more than 1,000 men, the greater part of which
has passed over to the army of Peru : and in conse-
quence of which he has not made any other attempt
against Liras. From this city there have been de-
tached 3,000 men, under the command of Don Do-
mingo Tristan,.for Arequipa, where they are sup-
posed to be at present. Their object is to protect
that province against General Rewires. The re-
mainder of the troops of the line, amounting to
10,000 strong, have been sent out of the capital
and cantoned in several passes of the mountains;
the said capital being garrisoned by the town militia,
of which several regiments have been lately formed.
The Protector being about to depart fur Guaya-
quil, to have an interview with Bolivar, intrusted
the Marquis of Torre Tagle with the supreme com-
mand. Having arrived at Truxillo, he was in-
formed that Bollivar would not come in a long time:
in consequence of which he returned to Lima, but
let the Marquis continue in the command.
The European Spaniards were ordered by public
edicts to take the oath of allegiance to this country,
or to depart front it, with permission to take along
with them their property. Those who would not
profit by this offer, nor have been willing to be na-
turalised, have been obliged to quit the country by
force, and to leave one half of their property for
the benefit of the state ; which has chartered a tw-
ee' to carry away such as are unable to pay their
passage. Those who have rendered particular ser-
vices, the valetudinarians, and persons of 60 years
of age, are excepted. There have been many, how-
cyst., who preferred to become Americans; and in
(steer to remain in the country, have applied for
nut uraliaation. The expences of it amount to 25
dollars, out :he poor are furnished with it gratis. I
have already applied fur one for Aguibar, as his
agent, setting forth his services. The Archbishop
of Lima asked fur his passport, and went to Spain.
The Bishop of Truxil:o was obliged to quit the
country, and the same has happened to the Bishop
of (ivamanga, in consequence of his having refused
to issue a pastoral letter. Din Xavier Cchague,
1). 1). Dean of the Church, is nominated fur the
Archbishopric; Father Don Segundo Carrion, fur
the Bishopric of Truxiilo, and Father Jose Arrieta,
for that of Guamanga. Don Juan Garcia del Ili s.
as Envoy to the Foreign Curses, is the bearer of this
appointment to Rome.
In consequence of the flight of Don Jose Aris•
:moth from Lima, many persons have been ruined;
amongst them is Leguerica, who lust's 90,000 dol-
lars. He died of consumption at Miraflores, on the
4th of March. General Arenales is Governor at
Truxillo. Exudero and Juan Antonio were elected
illcailes at Purrs. The first governs the place. in-
stead of Col. Salta Crux, who is gone to the help
of the Colombians, at the head of 1,500 incti col-
lected here.
The Congress of Peru were to meet on the Ist of
May. A committee was selected at Lima to draw
up the constitution, and to report the progress
thereon in Congress; but they having asked' f)r
longer time, the meeting of Congress was postponed.
The Eliza arrived oil the 10th inst. from New
Orleans, the captain of which reports, that nee •:.
had reached New Orleans that the Spaniards were
driving the Americans oat of the Texas Country,
without discrimination. This is highly probable,
when we consider the state of the revolution and
violent commotion existing in the Nlexican Empire,
by the last advices from that country ; and thus
probably may terminate the extraordinary experi-
ment of colonising, under a monarchial sovereignty,
with men born free and reared in the enjoyment of
republican right.

ROYAL OBSERVATORY, CALTON HILL, Adm. la.
The wool has heeil 011 the 1110iiiiiij shout Soutti-u est,
but very light ;at about half-past II the hulls of some
vessels were indistinctly seen, but owing to the haze no.
thing positive conlil be ascertained ; about 12 the wind
shifted to the Smith, and the hare began to clear away ;
at a quarter past 12 the Royal yacht, towed by two steam
boats, with her sails furled, was distinctly seen, the
smaller steam boat first with sail set ; and at this time
the vessels hi the roads fired a salute ; 40 minutes past
12 the wind blew a fine gentle breeze from the Muth.
The yacht still in low, without any sail set, and nearing
very fast; six vessels in company meter sail, besides two
deem boats. The steam boats having the yacht gaining

minutes past one, two guns fired front the Calton Hill
and two from the Castle ; the yacht and straits boats
bearingabout direct South f lnchkeith. The crowd
upon the Calton Hill is now dispetsing very fast; and
great numbers are proceeding down to Leith in all three-
nous ; 13 minutes past 1, about a troop of the Scots Guys
are passing by the new London-road to Leith. It is now
much cl and the rain has ceased, and a troop of the
3d Dragoons is passing in front of the gaol into town, and
lining the streets; 19 minutes past I, the yachts, accom-
panied by two steam boats, are between Inclikeith and
the Beacon, wear the mouth of Leith Harbour—it rains
a little again.
At 25 minutes past I, the smallest steam vessel left the
yacht, she being at this moment to the left of the Beacon;
2Q minutes past I, the ships in the roads saluted again,
and also the guns at Leith Fort ; at 313 nunutes past
the oilier steam boat left the yacht, and she came to
anchor outside the Guard-ship; 47 minute. past 1, the
the wind has shifted to the S.W. with every appearance
of heavy rain: it has already begun. The yacht is coin-
pletely surrounded with small boats, but n is so hazy, that
iintlusig cats be distinctly seen; lit minuted ;nu 2, it

Roads are scarcely visible, and the people are leasing the

Our commercial tratisai:tions with this niniutry s'e placed
