SOUTH AMERICA.

In addition to the particulars we communicated
yesterday respecting the progress of the military
operations in Peru, we annex two Official Re-
ports, which contain the last authentic accounts
from Bolivar's army :

Head-quarters in Chuquihamba, Oct. 4, 1824.
TO THE ]IINISTER•GENERAL OF THE AFFAIRS OF PERU,

DON JOSE SANCIIEE CARRION.
The army advances without interruption, though without
any remarkable event since it left Haumanga. This arises from
the Spaniards continuing to avoid an engagement, though at
the expense of great losses. We are masters of the Apurimac,
whose bridges have been carried off or broken down by them,
with the exception of that of Scopa, at which they maintain a
detachment. It is proboble that it will share the same fate as
the rest, on the approach of a party of our troops, which has
been sent to occupy it. His Excellency the Liberator has in
person reconnoitred and traversed the whole banks of that river,
and has ordered the construction of some bridges'and rafts—
an order which is executing with activity. Thus will the
greatest of the obstacles which the Spaniatds have been able to
oppose to the advance of the Liberator's army be removed.
His Excellency has received certain intelligence, that Gene-
ral Valdez had a very serious engagement with a division of
General Olaneta near Potosi ; that fortune has been equally
hostile to the enemy in the South ; and that General Olaneta
is pursuing Valdez, who has abandoned to the conqueror the
provinces of Upper Peru.
But the conduct of our enemies in leaving the country
which suffered under their tyranny is worthy of remark.—
They have shot all their soldiers who were unable to proceed
from the effects of fatigue, and even the sick in the hospitals,
who were not able to follow them. We have seen more than
two hundred dead bodies in theeir line of march, and the in.
habitants of this town have informed us of the assasssination
of the patients in the nine hospitals which they had here, and
in five others at Abancay.
His Excellency is highly satisfied with the enthusiasm with
which the people receive him and his liberating troops. His
army has every where received the most cordial welcome; and
the efforts which the people make for their liberty are admir-
able. His Excellency desires that you will publish the in.
telligence through the liberal provinces.
(Signed) - General ANDItAO SANTA CRUZ.
P.S. Communications have been received from the Comman-
dant-General -of the South Coast at Vca. He assures us that
he was marching towards the capital in force.

ANOTHER DISPATCH.
Head-quarter 4 in Chuquibamha, the 4th of Oct., 1824.
TO TUE MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF PERU, pox

JOSE SANCHEZ CARRION.
The enemy has passed to the other bank of the Apurimac,
abandoning all the country on this side of the river, from south
to north ; and, judging by his movements, it would be sup-
posed that he retreats towards the mountains. The army of
the Liberator has in consequence occupied the tree country,
which contains some of the provinces of the department of
Cuzco, covering and watching the line of the Apurimac.
There daily come into us soldiers, whose desertion has in-
creased in proportion to the length of march. On the 11th of
August there was a serious affair in Laba between the van-
guard of General Olaneta and the division of General Valdez.,
who, according to accounts which we have received, was car-
ried oh' severely wounded. The public papers, signed by Ola-
neta, leave no doubt that he has become the irreconcileable
enemy of the Spanish Chiefs.
From the last accounts received bp his Excelleney from Co-
lombia he learns that in July there we-e on their march to-
wards Panama 10,000 veterans, who had been solicited by his
Excellency to assist him in Peru. Every day the Intendant
of Guayaquil expected from the Isthmus 4,000 men and 8,000
English muskets. The corvette Limena had transported from
Panama to Guayaquil] the celebrated squadron of Veuezuelian
Lancers, and 20.000 English muskets. This corps, and these
arms, must already have arrived on these coasts, according to
the letters of the Intendant.
The inhabitants cf this part of Peru evince more and more,
every day, their love for the sacred cause of their country,
showing equal gratitude for the eminent services of his Excel-
lency, and the brave men who support the rights of the human
race in the existing contest. It is, consequently, easy to see,
that while the army of the Liberator reigns in the hearts Of the
people, it wants for nothing necessary for its subsistence or
convenience. It would therefore be madness, in present cir-
cumstances, to doubt for a moment of the speedy and complete
liberation of the Republic.
This is communicated for your satisfaction, and that of all
the people. THOMAS DE lIERES, Interim Secretary.

The following interesting documents, taken in
connexion with all the other intelligence from
Peru, seem to leave no doubt of the triumph of
the independent cause :

TRANSLATION- OF A LETTrit ADDRESSED TO M. D. F.
O'LEARY, AIDE-DE.CAMI"CO THE " LIBERATOR" OF
COLOMBIA, AND HIS COMMISSIONER IN CHILE.
"My Dear Sir—l have had the honour of receiving your
esteemed communications, as also those enclosed froM his Ex-
cellency "rhe Liberator.' You may assure his Excellency
that it has long been my intention to co-operate with his Excel-
lency in completing the liberation of this beautiful portion of
South America. I entreat you will have the goodness to for-
ward to the head-quarters of his Excellency the enclosed an-
swers. Accept the assurances of my highest esteem.
" Your obedient servant,
" Oruro, Oct. 10. PEDRO ANTONIO OLANETA."

EMTRACT OF A LETTER FROM M. D. F. O'LEARY, DATED
SANTIAGO DE ciin.r., DEC. '2.
"My dear Sir—l enclose you a copy of a letter which I have
this moment received from General Olaneta. You will judge
for yourself, but allow me to say, that, in my opinion, the
union of General Olaneta to the force under the Liberator, is
a circumstance which decides irrevocably the fate, not only of
Peru, but of all-Spanish America.
We are anxiously looking out for a vessel from Inter-
medios. The Wavertree is expected every moment. Colonel
Urdaneta, by the last accounts irons Lima, was within four
leagues of the city."

LORD REDESDALE.—We are sorry to learn
that this respectable Nobleman had recently a
fall from his horse in the Park. It is gratifying,
however, to hear that his Lordship is in a fair
way to be wholly relieved from the consequences
of this accident.
flits. FRANK-JAN.—We are desired to state, in
allusion to our paragraph of yesterday,announcing
the death of this Lady, that she had been suffer-
ing under a very severe and alarming illness for
a considerable period before Captain FRANKLIN
left town, which of course mast have tended to
hasten her end, though it was not the immediate
cause of it.

Miss GowAnn.—Wie have heard many favour-
able accounts of the talents of a young lady of
this name, which, as a Singer as well as an
Actress, have been so successfully exerted at
York, Hull, Doncaster, and many other provin-
cial towns, that. she is soon likely to find her way
to the Metropolis, and to make a distinguished
figure on the Boards of a London Theatre.
REYNOLDS, the Dramatist, is likely to prove
a theatrical BURNETT, as his Memoirs will con-
sist of a theatrical " history of his own times."
We hope it will appear that his wit and humour
were not exhausted in his Comedies.
The Haymarket Manager it seems has an-
onfti(mofr
April,
aooeitligintgime his Theatre
itiritsiddhliete
before the
usual time
anbouountcetidle
of the commencement of his season,
and, according to report, is well provided with a
Company of Performers of no ordinary rate of
merits.
It is highly creditable to the Lord Chamber-
lain that he would not suffer the King's Theatre
to be opened till every proof could be obtained
for the security of his Majesty's subjects. Mr.
EBERS; who resumes the management, it appears
has not been less solicitous to ascertain the
safety of the Edifice, but has instigated every
possible investigation that could tend to satisfy
the public mind,
