PERU.

( From the Hampshire Telrgraph.
The following is an extract from a letter from
our Correspondent at Callao. The sentiments of
the letter are those of a Naval Officer employed
on the station :

". CALLAO, DE c. 12, 1823.-1 send this by a mere chance
opportunity—a vessel bound to Rio ; and as there is nothing
new here of importance, 1 shall only give you a few hasty
lines, just as the thoughts occur to my mind. Of all the dif-
ferent persons, during the protracted struggle for independ-
ence that have been placed at the head of the Government
of Peru, his Excellency General Bolivar is generally ac-
knowledged to be the best calculated to conduct the affiiirs of the
Republic. There is a boldness in all his measures, and an in-
tegrity of conduct in his proceedings, that cannot fail to subdue
party feelings and prejudices, and perfectly to unite the Peru-
vians of every class and description. Indeed, I have every
reason to hope he will prove to be the deliverer of the Peruvian
empire, by ultimately establishing its independence upon a
firm, wise, and liberal basis. The Government of the Repub-
lic.is yet in a very imperfect, and, I am sorry to add, impure
state. However, upon the whole, affairs begin to assume a con-
sistency that will soon give them a very favourable aspect, and
especially since the discovery of Riva Aguera's delinquency.—
We understand that lie has many adherents at Lima, who are
firmly attached to hint, as well as partisans in other parts of
Peru ; but there is no
apprehension that ha will be able to
do further mischief.
-eta late disaffection will undoubtedly be
the war to a period beyond that in
whheiecha
snignce it was hoped it would terminate.—

There are many persons even now, who vainly expect that the
Spaniards will again gain the ascendency; but I am persuaded
that the time is not very remote when Peru will be completely
emancipated, and Great Britain will find it expedient to recog-
nize the country as independents, in order to secure its com-
mercial privileges. .
" It is confidently reported, that Admiral Guise (formerly a
commander in the British service), who lately sailed from Africa
with an expedition, had an intention of supporting the cause of
ltiva Aguera; but I presume that lie must now abandon every
hope. of assisting that General in accomplishing his designs.—
That Admiral has declared the coast from- 8 deg. to 28 deg.
south, to be in a state of blockade. Bolivar and his forces are
on their march from Truvillo; and Lima is, in consequence,
considered to be safe from any incursions that the Royalists
may be disposed to make on it, although some time must
elapse before his Excellency can bring his troops up. It
is likely that the ensuing year will. be the most eventful
crisis during the whole revolution ; for Bolivar seems deter-
mined to surmount the common obstructions that have usually
impeded the operations of die army. The late Supreme Direc-
tor of Chili, O'Higgins, is residing in the city of Lima; and I
understand that he still retains the rank of Captain-General of
Peru, as well as that of Chili. The General speaks the English
language tolerably well, and possesses all the manners and
ideas of an Englishman. San Martin resides at Mendoza ;
but we seldom hear any thing of him. I should have men-
tioned, that it is not improbable that O'Higgins may be again
called to the head of the Government of Chili ; but I have heard
him declare that he would accept of no other authority than one
in a military capacity ; and on the termination of the contest,
he would then retire to private life.
" The Blossom 28, Captain M'Lean, left this on the Ist
inst. for Valparaiso, Rio, and England. She had upwards of
two millions of dollars on board when she sailed from Callao,
and it is expected she will get a considerable quantity at Val,
paraiso. The Tartar, 46, Captain 'l'. Brown (senior officer
in the Pacific), is lying at this place. The Aurora, 46, Capt.
H. Prescott, is at San Bias : she will not leave the Pacific
before the end- of July next. The Fly, 18, Captain Martin,
is stationed at Valparaiso, as it is constantly necessary for a
vessel of war to he there as well as here, to protect the com-
mercial interests."

BURNING OF THE SHEAS.

There is reason to hope that the dreadful ca-
sualty which betel this unfortunate family was accidental.—
The following account of the execution for the murder of three
men, who were strongly suspected of being parties in the de-
struction of the Sheas, is copied from the' Leinster Journal of
Saturday :--.

" Roth the Kellys, as well as Callinan, who were executed
at Kilmery last week for fhe murder of Martin Quan, denied
all knowledge of, or participation in, any conspiracy to murder
the Sheas. This solemn denial. of penitents on the brink of
eternity, and who were strongly suspected of being the leaders
in such supposed conspiracy, connected with other cireuni-
stances, has given rise to the opinion that the lire which con-
sumed that the poor people in press-
ingcarest from succeeding in open-
ing
te o d
the
ee
it; and that they were Speedily suffocated by the burning
thatch. For the sake of humanity, we trust this opinion is well
doorSlwa prevented nateecdt t In;
founded, but, if true, the secret must remain for ever hidden
from man."
To the above observation we have only to add, that it ap-
peared on the Inquest, that the door had been strongly secured ;
the key was not in it, but was found on the floor ; and the re-
mains of all the wretched inmates were in a cluster about it._

It was an action brought for daniages-sustained by the plain-

services. They were laid at

Mr. GEORGE BENNETT, in a powerful address to the feel-
ings of the Jury, stated the plaintiff's case, after which the
young Lady and Doctor Bullets were examined.
Mr. Serjeant GOOLD, with much force and eloquence, fol-
lowed in mitigation of damages.
His Lomistitr with his usual precision, charged the Jury,
who retired for about an hour and returned with a verdict for
the plaintiff—Damages 4001. and 6d. costs.
Great sympathy was evinced by the Court for the distressed
situation of the young lady.—(hkm.)

Br.ocx.int or ALGIERS.—The following was

Saturday :

(CIRCULAR.)
Legation of the United States, London, April 14, 1824.
St yesterday received an official note from Mr. Secretary
Canning, informing me of the blockade of the port of Algiers,
and that it was the intention of this Government to maintain
the same in the strictest manner, adopting, and executing with
respect to vessels attempting to violate it, all the measures au-
thorized by the Laws of Nations and the Treaties between
Great Britain and Neutral Powers. I have to request that you
will cause publicity to be given to this information, in such
mode as you may deem most conducive towards its being known
at an early day to merchants and other citizens of the United
States within your Consulate, interested in learning it.
I have the honour to remain respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
(Signed) RICHARD RUSH.
To Thos. Aspinwall, Esq., Consul of the United States, London.

We understand that it is Jour( IRVING, Esq.
who has set off for Paris on an important finan-
cial affair, and not Messrs. READ and InvING, as
erroneously stated on Saturday.
It should be impressed on the minds of all
who value Fortune and Independence, that One
of the Three 820,000 Prizes, To-monnow, is
sure to be had for the trifling risk of R 5. 19s.
ONLY, the cost being 125. 19s. ; and every
Ticket that does not obtain One of the Three
820,000, or 13 capital Prizes, may have X2O re-
turned on or before 29th April. Such a Chance
was never offered before; and is certain to cause
as great a scarcity of Whole Tickets DEFORI To-
MORROW, as was so lately experienced, there
being only 593 remaining this 17th April. The
risk of One Sixteenth is only 9s. and Shares in,
proportion.—J. and J. SIYEIVIIIOILT,7 Contractors.

THE KING.
WINDSOR, APRIL 18.—Yesterday the weather being un-
favourable his MAJESTY did not- leave the Palace. Count
Licven, the Marquis of Graham, Lord Strathaven, Lord and
Lady Gwydyr, Earl and Countess Cowper,' and the Honoura-
ble Mr. Lamb, arrived at the Palace yesterday, to spend,
the Easter holidays with his Majesty. Last evening his Ma-
jesty had a dinner party, consisting of the following persons
of distinction :—The Duke of Dorset, Lord and Lady Gwydyr,
Lord and Lady Cowper, Count Lieven, Lord Lowther, Lord
Strathmore, Lord Graves, and Sir Andrew Barnard.—The
Royal Horse Guards Band attended and played in the
Grand Hall of the Royal Castle.—This morning (Sunday)
his Majesty, accompanied by the distinguished visitors now
at the Palace, and the Royal Household, heard Divine Ser-
vice at the private Chapel. The service was performed by the
Rev. C. Sumner, his Majesty's Private Chaplain. The Easter
Ball, at the Town Hall to-morrow evening, it is expected, will
be numerously and fashionably attended. This afternoon the
band of the Royal Horse Guards and the 75th Regiment were
stationed at the south side of the terrace immediately under the
suite of rooms occupied by his Majesty,. and the fineness of the
clay attracted the largest assemblage- ,of rankc and fashion we
have witnessed for some time. This evening his Majesty will
have a large party at dinner. Although the weather .has been
unfavourable, Windior has received its share of holiday
sitors. The inns are filling very fast, and we have no doubt
but the town will be very gay this season. Lord Lowther left
the.,Castle this morning for London. -
