THE LONDON JOURNALS.

DAILY

Extracts from the Morning Papers, July 29.

[rite TIMM)
We present this day a variety of matter under
the bead of South American intelligence, all of a
attering and encouraging complexion; and•part
of it, we have no doubt, entitled to public confi-
dence. To- take the selteral accounts in the in-
verse ratio of their pretensions to authenticity,
we Muy begin with the great victory of Bolivar
in Peru. A letter was said to have arrived in
town from Liverpool, after travelling fromGuay.
aquil by way of Philadelphia and -New York. It
bore the date' of Guayaquil, May '27, and related
that, on the 6th of that month, a decisive action
had been fought between the Liberator end the
Spanish General ennterac, which ended' in the
total defeat and annihilation of the Royalist
artnY. The consequences of the victory—for the
narrative would otherwise have been incomplete
—into stated to be the re-capture of Lima on the
10th of May, four days after the engagement,
and an offer to capitulate by the• garrison of
trio. All this may be very true : we have no
means of disproving it ; and If confirmed, it will
be glorious news for honest men of all nations.
But we are hound to say, that the best-informed
of our city acquaintances did not believe a word I
of it. The original of the letter, it was declared,.
had not been seen by arty body ; a copy only, or
pretended copy, having ,been circulated on
Tlie intelligence was confined to one
quarter, none of the houses regularly correspond-
ing „with Peru having received the slightest inti.
matioa of stich an event. The fabricator of the
tele, however, if it be a fabrication, has armed
himself to the elbows in all sorts of versimili-
todes. Weed, when the magnitude of the sup-
-I;osed stake is considered, we need hardly doubt
that the► circumstantial evidence would be made
abundantly plausible ; and, as Sheridan assures
us, none but a bungler would omit the endorse-
silents *hen he set about manufacturing a bill.

[law Tuacs.]
News of great importance, if it may be relied
an, was received yesterday from south America.
It is stated in a letter dated Guayaquil, May 27,
that information had arrived there of the defeat
of the Royalist force in Peru under Generals
Canterac And, Valdez, and the subsequent
triumphant entrauce of Bolivar into Lima. The
pc/Ski-ono and movements which preceded the bat,
tie are mentioned with apparent accuracy. It is
said to have been fought on the 6th of May, and
warmly contested ; the Royalists are stated to
have been attacked in the rear, on their retreat
after the. action, and to have been completely
routed ; and it is added that Lima opened its
gates on the 10th, and that on the 12th the for-
tress of Callao proposed to capitulate. The dis-
trust with which this intelligence was received
In the City proved, that, however plausible, it
was considered to rest upon doubtful authority.
That if true, it is of the highest moment in the
present posture of affairs, is too clear to require
illustration.---The letter conveying the loforoot.
tion was stated to have arrived by express from
Liverpool.

[MORNING PG4TI
New York Papers to the 4.2 d instant, have
reached us. .They supply no news from Mexico ;
but adcices- from Caraccas of the 27th of May,
state the Curious and important fact, that all the
churchasin that city had been illuminated fora num-
ber of successive evenings,in consequence of hisH
gitllflBll the Pope having formerly recognized the in.
dependence of Colombia! The Committee ap.
,putnted by Congress to investigate the charges
'brought against the Secretary of the Treasury,
Crawford, by Mr. Ildwards, had made a
report favourable to the former, in consequence
jorivhich the latter resigned his appointment as
lifillicter to Mexico. The Five per Cent. Loan,
which was advertised for by the city of Philatiel-
-phis, was taken on the '2lst ultimo, at a pre-
mium ,averaging nine per cent. on the whole
,amount, Private letters from New York, of
the same date, mention that great prepare-
tions were Made there to receive the Mar.
quits de la Fayette, who it was known was
about to take his departure from France.
A portion of the United troops had been
!Styled- the -La Fayette Guards, Accounts from
`this African Colony, received at New York, men-
tion that the Colony was in considerable dread
or on attack fruni the natives ;- the United States'
schOoner Grampus had in consequence landed a
quantity of arms and ammunition at Cape Messu•
rado, which., produced a great change in the
na-
tiees, the Day haVing 11634 t word that he was de-
airbus of, again opening the trade with the Co.
lOrty.--,Don Antonio Cattait, the new Minister
, from Gualamala, or Central Atitetica, had reach-
ed the ritrof Washington in the capacity of
Minister Plenipotentiary.---Specie, to the amount
of upwards of 1,000,000 dollars, had arrived at
New York iu the short space of one week
