AIADRID, MAncit 23.

A letter from his Excellency the Conde de los Andes, Viceroy
of Peru, to his EXcellency the Principal Secretary of State,
dated Cuscs, October 18, W 24, says—" The resolution of the
King, our master, confirming all the favours granted during
'the constitutional reginle for these countries, unless the persons
who have received such favours have rendered themselves un.
worthy of them by their conduct, is quite conformable to his
Majesty's goodness, and to his
.paternal regard for his loyal
Peruvian subjects. Appreciating, on the one hand, so bene-
ficial and useful a resolution, and, on the other, considering
the distinctions and honours which his Majesty has deigned to
bestow on me, without any merit of mine, since the perform-
ance of my duty cannot be considered as such, I cannot but
entreat your Excellency to express to bis Majesty my profound
gratitude, as well as the lively impression and satisfaction which
have been excited in the lnyal and brave soldiers of This army
by his Majesty's appreciation of the firmness and inimitable
perseverance with which they have defended, at every risk, the
Irdnour of their standards.

The necessary attention to the affair,: of the army will not
allow me at present to transmit to. your Excellency, as his Ma-
jesty desires, a list of the persons whom, by virtue of his Royal
permission, I-have confirmed in the several classes of knight-
hood; but, as soon as the campaign is finished, and the neces,
sary duties of the Service allow, I will send your Excellency
the list. IlisMajesty may be assured that T shall act with zeal
and circumspection in conferring such favours, and above all,
endeavour to answer his Majesty'S confidence, whom I again
beg your Excellency to assure of my gratitude for his gracious
attention to my service and attachi'nent to his Royal person ;
and that I will, if possible, redouble my efferts."
Ills Excellency, in his dispatch, gives an account of the pre-
parations he was making for the campaign, which he proposed
to command in person, against the rebel Bclivar. The valour
and the noble enthusiasm which animated the troops tbr the just
cause which they defended, inspired the loyal and valiant Gene-
ral with entire and well-founded confidence in the issue of his
well-combined operations: accordingly, he expresses his hopes of
being able soon to defea', wit% the aid of the God of Ames,
the soldiers whii, under the standard of rebellion, are led on to
,crime by the revolutionary disturbers of the tranquillity and de=
stroyers of the prosperity of South America, over whom he
hopes now to triumph as he triumphed in the glorious campaign
of 1823 over the insurgent chief Santa - Cruz. The Govern-
ment also knows that the Viceroy -and. C-eneral Valdez had
joined General Canterac, between Andabpaila and Abancay, 40
leagues North of Cuzco; that the King's army consisted of
14.000 veteran troops, well disciplined and eager to meet the
enemy of their legitimate Sovereign ; and that it has several re-
giments of exellent cavalry, of which the revolutionists are
destitute.

The accounts are con6rrned by a letter dated the I4th of Jan.
this year, written by Conde de Villahermosa who resides at
Rio Janeiro, to an American in this city. It is also known by
letters worthy of credit, that the Captain of the English frigate
-IT:raver Tree ( Waverley t), which sailed from Quilca the 10th
of November, affirmed that two days before he sailed he was
told by the officers of an English man of war which
.had arrived.
there, that the Prucba frigate, commanded •by the adventurer
Guise, had been completely beaten by the Asia, and had escap-
ed only by its Kuperior sailing, and by favour of the night.—
The letters add, that there had been received at Rio de Janeiro
a letter of the 12th November from Quilca, written-by a French
captain, in which he of that a report was there current that
(eneral 'Valdez had defeated the var.-guard of the rebel army,
cummanded by. General Sucre.
