•,( " Art. 1. The Presidents of Departments are to be the im-
mediate instruments in executing the order of the. Vrovernment
'to each of them.

" Art. 2. Their especial, functions to Administer the econo-

sury, 'watching scrupulotisly the persons employed in this
branch, and proposing to the Government the reforms or aug.
nienfations or which it is susceptible, according to the local cir-
cumstances of the Department, to take care that justice is im-
partially administered, and that all the inferior public func-
tionaries do their duty.
" Art. 3. The Presidents are the Judges of Police in the
Departments, and as such are to watch over the observance of
public morals, the establishment of schools, and whatever re-
lates to the progress of the people.
" Art. 4. By,this Article, certain enumerated'artieles, issued
in' February last, respecting the duties of Presidents of De-
partments, are confirmed.
" SECTION VI.

" On resuming the supreme command under'the title of Pro-
,
tector of Peru, iny intention was to lay down the fundamental'
bases on which those must build who might be called to the
sublime destiny of making the people happy. I charged my-,
splf with the whole authority, that I might :be responsible *4
its use to the whole nation ; I declared with frankness tny de-
signs, that they might be judged of according to their results ;
and from the field of battle, where, united with my companions
in arms, I sought the glory of having destrOyed oppression, I
come to place myself in the front yf a difficult administration,
and a vast responsibility. At the bottom of my heart are in-
scribed the motives of the resolution' whicli I adopted' on the
4th of August, and the statute which I am going now, to pro-
mulgate at once explains and sanctions them.
" I might have exalted the liberality of my principles in this
provisional statute, by making magnificent declarations about
the rights of the nation, and by increasing ' the list of public
functionaries to give the pomp of greater popularity to existing
forms. But, convinced that an exuberant display of praise-
worthy maxims is not ,at first the best Meads of establishing
them, I have confined myself to the practical ideas which may
and should be realized.

" Art 1. The Municipalities shall exist in the same form as
hitherto, and shall be presided over by the President of the De-
partment.", Art. 2. The dections of the Membertof the Municipality
shall from the-succeeding year forward be popular, according
to a regulation which will be separately given.

"NVbile there are enemies in the country, and till theyeople
can form the first ideas of an independent Government of them-
selves, 1 shall administer the directorial power of the State ;
the properties of which, without being the same as those of the
legislative and executive authority, are 'analogous to them.
But I shall abstain from interfering with the solemn exercise
of the judiciary funetions, because their independence is the
only true safeguard of the liberty of the people, and it is of no
ConsequencetO boast of philanthropic principles when the same
individual who makes and executes the law Alikewise he who
applies it:
" Before exacting from the people the oath of obedience, I
proceed to swear before the whole nation to observe and to exe-
cute the statute which I give as a guarantee of my intentions.
" Those who, with the experience of the past, meditate on
our present situation, and are most in the habit of analyzing
the influence of administrative measures, will observe in. the
simplicity of the principles which which I have adopted, the
proof that I do not offer more than I think convenient to fulfil(
that my object is to do good, and not to frustrate it ; and that
knowing, in fine, the extent of my responsibility, I have en-
deavoured to regulate my duties by the law of circum-
stances, in order that I may not be exposed to fail in their'per-
formance.

" With such sentiments, and relying on the effectual co-
operation of my fellow.citizens, I venture to hope that I shall
be able in time to Lay down the power which I have taken upon
myself, with the consciousness of having faithfully exercised it.
If, after having freed Peru from its oppressors, I shall go to
seek, in private life, my last felicity, I shall consecrate the rest
of my days in contemplating the beneficence of the Great
Author of the Universe ; and in renewing my vows for" the
continuance of his propitious influence on the lot of future ge-
nerations.

" SECTION I.

" Art. 1. The C:.tholic Apostolic Roinan religion is the re:.
ligion of the State. The Government considers it one of its
first duties to maintain' and preserve it by all means within die
reach of hutnati prutlince. Whoever attacks, either publicly
or privately, its dogmas or principles, will .be punished with
a severity proportioned to the scandal which he shall have
occasioned.

" Art. 2., All those who profess the Christian religion, and
dissent in some principles from the religion of the State, may
obtain permission from the Government, on consultation with
the Council of State, to use the
,right, which may suit them,
while their conduct is conformable to public order.
" Art. 3. No one can become a public functionary, unless he
professes the religion of the State.

" SECTION
" Art. 1. The supreme directing power of the free departments
of the state of Peru resides now in the Protector. His powers
emanate from the empire of necessity—from the force of reason
—from the exigence of the public good.
" Art. 2. The Protector of Peru is Generalissimo of the
forces by land and by sea ; and it being his princip.al duty
to give freedom to all the towns which compose an integral
part-of the territory of the state, he shall have the power to
augment or to diminish the armed force as he shall think
proper.
" Art. 3. He shall have the power of imposirqcontributions,
-of establishing duties, of exacting loans to defray the public
charges, on consulting with the Council of State.

" Art. 4. He shall form regulations for tbe better organiza.
tion of the land and naval forces, including the militia of
the state.

" Art. 5. He will regulate internal and external trade con-
formably to the liberal principles on which the prosperity of the
country essentially depends.
" Art. 6. He will make the reforms which he may judge ne-
cessary in all the departments of the public administration,
abolishing the offices which existed under the ancient regime,
and creating new ones.
" Art. 7. He will establish the-provisional mint of the State,
but he is not to alter the weight which the coin of Peru has
hitherto preserved.
" Art. 8. He shall appoint Envoys and Consuls to foreign
Courts, and promote the recognition of Peruvian independence,
forming political or commercial treaties in aecorl.nce with
the interests of the country, on consulting with the Council of
State.

" Art. 9. He shall have the title of Excellency, which shall
be given to no other individual or corporation. All those who
formerly, held the title of Excellency shall be addressed by that
of Your illustrious Lordship.

shall prplstrig or Aborten its sittings accordingly. • • with the!Colombbin farces there, yr to extend his cruise to
"e:‘, L. 6.thitouneil of State shall be called by the title of the coast of Mexico, and there to secure the two Spanish fri-
,Excelleneyr , - - gates, Prueba and Vinganza, which are reported to have great
sums of specie belonging to Spaniards on board. At all events,
the presence of the fleet before Callao was no, longer required ;
the character of the Governmerit of Chili and that of Genera
San Martin are a secure pledge that this • unfortunate quarrel
will have no detrimental influence on tha cause of independ-
ence, nor Weaken the good understanding which policy and
mutual interest will always preserve between Perri and Chili.
""LIMA, Nov. 30.—San Martin, who. is. very unpopular:
has adopted the flourishing title of Protector of Peru, and go-
verns the country by a military despotism. YOu will pre;
bably have heard of the rupture between him and Lord
Cochrane. •
" After the evacuation of Callao by the Royalist army, hIS
Lordship. applied for money to pay his officers and men'
and received for answer that there was no money, although
it was well known to his Lordship that about 600,000 dollars
had been embarked on board of private ships and Chili trans-
ports by San Martin for safety, in case of being surprised by the
Royal army. Ills Lordship was of opinion that this money
would be equally safe on board of his frigate, and consequent-
ly removed it thither, with which he paid his ships, and sent
part of it to Chili. San Martin had by this time got a flag ef
his own, and declared Peru independent, which his bordshiP
conceived dependent on Chili, and therefore would no longer
obey any orders from the General. Every
intrigue was used to
induce the seamen and officers to enter the Peruvian service,
and even to hoist the flag on board the Chili ships. Some of
who have always been in opposition to his Lordship, inn'
mediately joined, and a great number of the seamen who had
been long confined on board wished for a change: they are,
however, sorry for having made it. Not one of them has been
paid by this-Government : whereas those that remained with
his Lordship have been paid to a day. -
" JANUARY I.—This place remains perfectly quiet, arrl the
existing Government here finds itself so strong; that a very re'
spectable'exPedition, consisting of 3,000 men, is being Null'
ped, and will sail from Callity-iout a week, destined to th,e
coast of Africa, in order, to attack Arequipa, and thus, if posal-
ble; terminate the war in Peru.
" General San Martin is still at the head of the Government'
with the title of Protector, but it is thought probable that be
will shortly relinquish the supreme command in favour of a na-
tive of this country, of distinguished family.
" Lord Cochrane., by the hist aCcounts from Guayaquil, was
about to, sail from that port with his squadron, to run down thiei
coast of Mexieo, and cruise for the two Spanish frigates, which
still remain in those seas."

LONDON,
TUESDAY, lifylY 28, 1822.

The following important information was this
morning posted at LLOYD'S
" The Farquarson, arrived from China, Failed'
the Ist February,. and brings advice that trade
with the .Chinese was stopped' on the 93d Dec'
in consequence of an affray between part of the
crew of the Topaze: frigate and some Chinese It
Linton.
C All the Gentlemen of the Factory liagen!
on board the:different ships, and were aftervra.os
taken on board the Waterloo, with their families -
and property, as well as the Company's Pro-
perty.
" The ships remained at t,hanmpn when the
FarqUariOn sailed. The Farquarson,
Kent, and Repulse had
.taken' in their carg°es:
but it was supposed the rest of the CornPanY s,
ships would be obliged to come away in
. .
[Extraet gf: a Letter from itfacoai dated,Jatzua4 271 he
".The affair of the Topaze frigate. remains unsettled/ t'-
Viceroyof Canton not having relaxed in .his demand. We re;
solved on moving the ships out of the River, and weighed for
second bar yesterday morning, and anchored here (Chaulilit
in the evening with all the ships. The frigate is with us* far
is reported that the Viceroy is willing to open the trade, 5°
as consists in buying and selling, but insists in boil*
men before the ships sail. It is probable that after the Tylit
ai i
sails, which is expected to be in about 10 days, matters
be settled, and that we may expect a final adjustment in
February. This is, however, only my opinion."

We have received the Paris Papers of Saler'
claw'
day, which contain intelligence from CO—
tinople as late as the 25th and 26th ( :
more pacific nature than our previous recent °-;
counts. It is asserted that the Porte liar

WASHINGTON, APRIL 24.—0 f the documents yesterday
transmitted to Congress by the President, connected with the
recent occurrences in Florida, the most important one is a letter
fromthe Secretary of State to Don Joaquim D'Anduga, Mini-
Spain, giving a definitive answer to his complaints
ater of
gainst the proceedings of General Jackson, whilst Governor
°f Florida. The letter is of such length that we have no room
as yet to publish it. The following is.the concluding para-
aPh of the letter, and which affords information of the desti-
nation of the Macedonian frigate, which lately sailed from

" The delays of the Captain-General of Cuba, with regard
t° tilt fulfilment of the Royal order transmitted to him by Col.
Forbes, were so extraordinary, and, upon any just principle, so
unaccountable, that the Minister of the United States in Spain

,4elit, and to request new and peremptory orders to that officer.

The progress of famine and pestilence in Ire-,
1411d.has now reached an appalling extent, and the accounts,
4°lll almost all quarters of the distressed districts, are of the
most afflicting description. Thousands of families are in a state
of utter destitution. The typhus fever is'extending its fatal acti-
titY over a large surface of the country. Many have already pe-
ti'bed of disease and want. Even of those who are rescued from_
RZatration by the efforts of humanity,manythousands receive-only
alf a Pound of oatmeal each per diem, a quantity of food,which,
it is sufficient to sustain life, is not enough to preserve
nliserable victims from the torments of hunger. Even the
the
stock which- furnishes this scanty relief cannot afford
-e gratuitous distribution of -the oat-meal ; but the benevolent,

caution, their fund of charity will soon be exhausted.—

of ou Fez,, `where Muley Zeid resided, has again proclaimed
his uncle. petters from Tetuan announce, that.the Governor,
having received intelligence of what passed in Old Fez, has also
surrendered to the old Emperor ; consequently, we may look

of the whole country. Muley Zeid is kept in custody, and the
leading men among. his partisans have taken refuge in a sanc-
tuary, called Muley Edris, whence they will have,an opportu-
nity to sue for pardouafter the first fit of passion is over."

Niryytourn, MAY 27.—Passed by Portland
thii morning the Honourable East India Company's ship
Farquharson, from China, left the Ist February. The purser
landed heie this morning, and brings the dispatches respecting
the unfortunate transaction which occurred with a boat's crew of
his. Majesty's frigate Topaze and the Chinese, in which one of
the -natives was killed, and fourteen of the English sailors
wdunded.—All trade with - our ships was wholly stopped froth
the 23d December. The only ships besides ready for sailing
were the Rent, and Repulse; twelve Company's ships remained
unladen ; nor was there any prospect, at the departure of the
Farquharson of their being allowed to take on board their
cargoes by. orderof. the Chinese Government, as will appear by
the edict it has published.—The subscription towards the re-
lief of the suffering Irish daily increases; it amounts already.
to upwards of 1.01.--In addition to which the members of the
All Souls Lodge have transmitted five guineas to the general
fund, which it is to be hoped will be followed by every Lodge
in the kingdom.

DISTURBANCE IN WEsTstiNsTEn.---Yesterday
evening the vicinity of Great Peter-street, West-
minster, were much alarmed by a disturbance
breaking out in the Duke's Head public-house
among some low Irishmen, who having got drunk,
commenced fighting and retired into the street,
when a general conflict took place. The inhabi-
tants fearing that serious consequences would ensue,
instantly sent to Queen-square Office for some
of the Police, who soon arrived, and rushing in
among the rioters they at first dispersed in all
"directions, but several others joining them they
rallied, and being well supplied with brickbats and
stones,attacked the officers most furiously. A party
of the. Bow-street patrole, however, came up
at this moment to the assistance of the police,
when the' assailants fled in all directions, and in
the retreat a pistol was fired at the patrole, and soon
after the report of a second was heard, which shot
a man named Welsh, who it appears was a party
in the row, and wounded him in the hip near the
groin. The officers pursued the rioters for some
distance, and succeeded in securing no less than
thirty-five of them, whom they lodged in safe
custody.—On inquiry this morning at the hospi,
tal we learnt that the unfortunate man lies in a
dangerous state.

It is said that the. tax-collectors in Mary-la-bonne parish

_At: the tithe,audit, last ,week, for the parishes
of Southhill and Callington, the Rev. Mr. TREFUSIS informed
the parishioners, ;that in consequence of the depressed state of
agriculture, he. should deduct 10 per cent. from the amount of
their respective compositions, which he did accordingly. This.
reduction-was generously' made without any previous applica-
tion omthe part of the ,payers.—( West Briton.)
W. M. BoimiwiuK, present prisoner in this'
Jail, accused of stealing .PaPers and Letters from the Sentinel
Printing Office, Glasgow, was this day indicted to stand trial
at Edinburgh, on Monday the 10th of June. From the state-
ment in 'the -House of Conn:bons on Tuesday night, it appears
that the trial,of Mr. STUART, for killing Sir Alex. Boswell in
a duel, is fixed for"the same day.—( Okise.ow Courier, May2s.)
At the 'great .Whitsuntide Fitir, at Stagshaw,
NOrthumberland, on Saturday last, there was a very good
attendance. Horned cattle for summer's grazing, were rather
on: the advance. Sheep and lambs were a large supply, and
the sale dull. Mulch cows were in request, and fetched im-
prOvecl prices. Pigs were also looking up. There was but a
poor show of good horses : those that were recommended by
action and figure fetched very high prices the inferior sorts
sold very low. .
On Friday miming last, at about half-past
eleven o'clock, the large flax-mill of Messrs. Clarke and
Plunimer, at the Ouseburn, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, was acci-
dentally set on fire by a spark from one of the chimnies falling
in at a window; near to which a parcel.of tow was lying. Not-
withstanding "every effort to keep the fire under, the flames
spread with great rapidity. The fire-engines were prompt in
their appearance, and by their activity prevented greater mis-
chief. A great deal of damage, , however, has been sus.
*tied ; thatglf, from what we understand, we trust the pro-
prietors *ill eventually incur no great loss; the property being
pretty well covered by insurance.
