[MORNING CHRONICLE. j

The noted Guayaquil letter, ", dated May 27,
addressed to a commercial house in Philad-el
plan, forwarded by express from thence to New
York, brought by the packet to Liverpool,'
thence to London by express," and afterwards
published in the Morning Papers of the following
day, is now generally acknowledged to be a fa.
brication, and we apprehend numbers have been,
duped by the specious manner in which 13olivar's
victory in' Peru was therein described. The
letter, at the time, was supposed to have been
received by a commercial house in Philadelphia,
and forwarded ilivnee to New York, in order to
catch the packet which left that place about
the Ist July. Papers are now in town from
several parts of the Union to the 16th, 17th,
and 18th of the same month, yet not a word
is found in them relating to the victory
in 'Peru !' Unless, therefore,,, the Philadelphia
house, by whom the letter is said, to have been
'first received, hail been in the exclusive posses-
sion of the alleged facts, by the aid of a fleet
express from Guayaquil, and moreover interest-
ed in the news being kept secret (which scarce-
ly could be done for a period of eighteen days),
it is very reasonable to presume no such let-
ter ever passed through the American States.

Guayaquil letter, was irreconcilable with the 1
previous information received of the strength of the
Royalists, and the very awkward situation in which
Bolivar was placed, as acknowledged in his own
proclamation, issued from his head-quarters,
at Patavilea. The truth is, Bolivar's position
in Peru is precarious, and the fact cannot be
disguised, nor ought it to be withheld from the
British public. It is considered so in seve-
ral of the last letters from Bogota and Caraccas
which we have seen, and in them also the at-
tempt to reconquer Peru, is represented as being
too great for Colombia In her present situation.
Nay, the withdrawing of the troops to such a
distance, thus leaving the Atlantic coast ungar-
risoned, is openly declared to be contrary to the
insterests of the country. The mortality expe-
rienced in crossing the Isthmus of Panama, and
going into a different and deleterious climate,
like that of Peru, is besides a serious con-
sideration, and one that has caused great
clamour among the relatives of the officers
and men sent on this distant service. It is
well known that the Peruvians are opposed to
the interference of Bolivar ; and they strong-
ly suspect that his intentions are insidious.—
lie cannot, consequently, to any great extent at
least, rely on their co-operation, and without this
it cannot be expected that he can succeed The
Royalist army, on all hands, is acknowledged to
be in the most efficient state. Since Canterac was
joined by Torre Tagle, he is represented as hav-
ing in the valley of Lima an army equal to 15,000
men, and he and his comrades are In possessor
of the whole country, except Truxillo.—Since the
defeat of Santa Crux, affairs have materially chang-
ed in Peru, and this is a truth, we repeat, which
ought not to be withheld from the British public.
Canterac was always popular, as San Martin, who
is now in England, had an opportunity of know-
ing, and has often acknowledged. He is, more-
over, supported by the leading Peruvians, not
from any hopes from, or connection with, the mo-
ther-country ; but because they are tired of
anarchy and desolation. They are influenced. by
their own local interests, and prepared to make
any sacrifice to enjoy tranquillity.

GREENLAND FISHERY.—The following k a
copy of a letter, received by Mr. BROWN, sur-
geon, from his son, on hoard the Margaret, of
London, which communicates the first direct in-
telligence of the Greenland fishery, that has been
received in this country :
Greenland, July 16.

DEAR FATUER—I write to inform you, that I am in good
health, hut depressed in spirits, for want of success. We have
got only one fish, which we killed on Sunday, the 11th instant.
Fish are very scarce, which the experienced hands attribute to
the small quantity of ice. We have been us far north as 80 de-.
grecs, but fell in with no fish, when we ran to the southward 71;
degrees, and fell in with the west land, with like bad fortune.
Here we met with the Perseverance, of Hull, Captain Turn.
bull, three fish, who gave us nn account of the under-men-
tioned vessels. We are in company with a Frenchman i • she is
about leaving the country; with 15 tuns of seal oil, and with
her I send this letter. ¶S e have not, however, lost all hopes,
as the weather is clear, and we do not mean to bear up, till the
10th of September.—Your affectionate son,
WM. BROWN.

Ausr.NCE OP MINo.—A Professor at Oxford,
having invited a party for the evening at his
rooms, busied himself in putting them in order,
and after having arranged every thing to his mind,
rang for candles. lie placed them on the table,
and to finish his business he lighted them. Hay-
ing nothing more to keep his mind employed, he
sat down and fell asleep. He was aroused by
his servant hastily entering—Sir, Sir, don't you
smell fire fire, good heaven, I think I
do; where can it come from ? They ran about
the room prying into every corner. Sir, Sir, it
comes from you ; you're all of a smoke. Me !
where, where ?—Your coat pocket, Sir I—My
coat
pocket, you fool!—Yes, Sir, see, see !
The servant caught hold of the tail of the coat,
and held it up, when, in despair, the Professor
put his hand into the pocket, and, on pulling out
his handkerchief, discovered it nearly consumed,
with a great part of the lining. On considering
how this could have happened, he found that,
instead of throwing the paper he had lit the
candles with into the fire, he had put it into his
pocket.

RESURRECTION MEN.—On Tuesday morning,
in Scoonie church-yard, a young lad of the name
of .Webster, belonging to Dumbieside, suddenly
expired from the bursting of a blood vessel ;
but •no watch being kept In Dumbieside
church-yard, his friends thought proper to have
him interred in that of Scoonie, on Monday
lust. The young men who kept watch that
night arrived on the ground .at ten o'clock,
and 'obierving a large white stone upon the
new. grave, it aroused their suspicion,, and in
duced them to keep a sharper look out than
usual. Gigs, carts, and people,, passed PO and
West all night. The guard never entered the
watchhouse till about twelve o'clock, when they
retired for about five minutes ; and on coming
out again, they perceived two men on the !miry-.
ing-ground, who proceeded to the grave, which
is on the east side of the ground and immediately
began to work. Both the young !two tiad loaded
guns, but only one round of shot; however, they
fired at the depredators who Bed. After chacing
them for a few yards, the guard !etOiled to their
station, when two blunderbusses Were, discharged
at them and tore away a piece of the hat of one,
and lodged the burning wad in his breast. The
other young man then sprang- forward on the in,
traders, and cleared the church=yard wall, when
another shot was discharged nt him, and his hilt
was pierced by a four grape-shot, anOther passed
through the la pelle of his coat; and the fore
finger of his right hand was graied, The,other
young men followed to his assistance; but the
depredators fled. The guard :returned
Io their
station and cried for assistance. Immediately
a gig drove off the bridge. They called for help
about 20 minutes, but none arriving they proceed.
