. Nevi York Papers to the end of April arrived
yesterday. We subjoin 'a few extracts :---

NEW YORK., APRIL 29.—Accounts to the Bth of Februaiy,

from Guayaquil, agree in stating that the most active prepara-
tions were going on in the ports of Colombia to, reduce Ilia
Castle of Callao. The squadron at Guayaquil had cornpb.ted
iti.repairs, and was on the eve of sailing. Transports with
2,200 Colombians had left that place about the 20th of Ja-
nuary,.and two national corvettes on the Bth of February, to
assist in the bombardment. A frigate of 60 guns, well manned,
and- a schooner of 13 guns, with ordnance and ammunition,
had besn'ordered to take part in the same service. The Chili
squadron of four sail, and two Colombian armedvesselm, were
off' Callao, waiting the arrival of the abdve reinforcements, to
commence active operations. Bolivar is said to have deter-
mined on forcing the surrender of the Castle at all hazards : it
was closely blockaded by his troops on land. A distressing
mortality, which prevailed among the Colombian troopm'on their
passage across tbe Isthmus of Panama, had reduced their ori-
ginal number (4,000) nearly one-half.—The new Congress of
Peru was to convene ar Lima on the 10th of February, but it
vas supposed some change would be made in the members,
owing to four-fifths of their number being Padres, and not ge-
nerally popular with the Liberator.
