without foundation. Olaneta, on the contrary,
talks with as much confidence of success as if he
had a force capable of destroying the Patriots.—
The next arrival will probably inform us that his
swaggering tone has been reduced to as low a
key as that of the unfortunate General's whoinhe
vilifies.: The _Lima Gazette of January Ist has also
been.veceived. It states that Bolivar has resolved
to take Callao by assault,and put Rodil and the gar-
rison to the sword, in order to make an example of
them as a warning against perfidy. This paper
also contains a dispatch, addressed by the French
Vice-Admiral Rosanel, to the " Liberator, Pre-
s;dent :of the Republic of Colombia, and Dic-
tator of Peru," in which lie asserts- it to be the
inteution of his Government to observe a strict
neutrality in the contest between the New States
and the Mother Country.. France, he says,
would only interfere between the new, States and
Spain, as a common friend,, to offer her good
offices to both parties. He adds, however, that
he can only recognise ports as blockaded, before
which an adequate naval force shall be stationed.

Papers, from the 26th of January to the 1 oth of
February, inclusive.. They contain numerous
articles, both official and private, relative to the
victory of the • Colombian troops over the
Royalists at Ayacucho. They also contain two
Proclamations of General Olaneta, one addressed
to his• troops, and the other to the people of
Peru. Both are dated the 4th of January,
nearly two months after the defeat of the Vice-
roy's army ; and, as Olaneta had ample time for
reflection, one would. be inclined to suppose that
he would express himself with caution. On the
.contrary, the tone of both expresses defiance ;
and this strange personage, who had signed a
truce with Gen. Sucre, shortly after the triumph
of the latter over • the Viceroy's army, and who
had made proposals to Bolivar long before to co.
operate with him—took at last the resolution to
act the moon-struck hero. In the address to his
troops, he ascribes the loss of the battle of
Ayacucho to the treachery of the liberal Gene-
, rak, who, frustrated in their hopes of making La
Selma King of Peru, revenged themselves by be-
traying the country to the Colombians. They
took, however; a strange mode of revenge, and
executed it in so blundering a manner, that most of
them were wounded,and,amongst the rest La Serna
himself, upon the occasion. Had it been their inten-
tion to sacrifice the cause, they could have done so,
without exposing their persons to the bayonets
and fire of the enemy: So ridiculous a charge is
therefore worthy of the absurd individual who
preferred it, and is no bad pledge of the fate that 1
awaits him. The rest of his address is equally
extravagant, as the following specimen shows.
Speaking-of the wonderful exploits performed by
the troops under his command, he says that posteri-
ty hastens to conteMplate their valour ! A. hand-
ful of men,- that would not stand, probably for
ten minutes, the charge of a single British regi-
ment, have made such a stir in one. of the most
uncultivated and inaccessible parts of a hemi-
sphere still-but little known, that it has given an
accelerated motion to the great wheel of the world!
Ile then compliments them, in a strain of inex-
pressible burlesque, upon the ardour of their
attachment to the absolute King ; and next re-
minds them of the glorious rewards they have to
expect from a grateful Monarch.

[MORNING HERA
If the expression imputed to a Bank Director
be correctly reported—viz., that Parliament had
no more right to call for the accounts of the
Bank of Engllnd than for those of any hanking 7

house in Lombard-street, we beg leave very 're-

spectfully to deny the inference, and to join issue
%vith the Hon. Gentleman upon the point. A
chartered Company, holding its rights and privi-
leges from Parliament, must, in the nature of

things, be always amenable and accountable

for its conduct 'and the use •of its powers to
the authority from which they emanate. Be.

sides, the Bank of Enzlantl bears scarcely any

analogy, except in name, to a private house of
busines. Beyond its own stock it is a mere

trustee and servant of the public ; and as the greater

part of its profits are tlerived from its pUbfic
;agency, it is rather too much that any one acting
in its name should turn round upon its employers,

and tell them, " we owe you no account."
Either, therefore, tl►e report itself is untrue, or

there Is a degree of vapouring about it, which
might as well have been spared. If, however, it

is correct, one pleasant inference may at least be
drawn from it—viz., that the Bank feel confident
in its own strength, and that it does not foresee
any probability of coming to Parliament for a re-

[NEW TIMES.I
In the debate of Friday evening, on the Roman

newal of its former power for suspending cash Catholic Relief Bill, a suggestion was thrown out by Mr. Re-
payments. Such a power could of course only bertson, that Roman Catholics should be declared ineligible to
be asked or granted upon a disclosure, in represent any place in England or Scotland, leaving them free
some shape or other, of the assets and other to represent Irish Counties or Boroughs, and to sit and vote in
reasons upon which it may be grounded ; and it the House of Lords. This measure appears to us to deserve
would, therefore, we conceive, be rather absurd the most serious consideration of all parties. The agitation of
to .talk one day with an air of mystery anti self- the Catholic claims divides the nation in an extraordinary
importance, and on the next in a tone of openness degree. On each side are to be seen men of the highest dis-
