PERU.

We have received several late numbers of the
Bogota, or Colombian Gazette. In that of the 23d of Novem-
ber, we find a long and interesting description of the public
entry of Bolivar into Lima, together with an account of 'the
state ceremonies and legislative proceedings which followed/it.
This successful General, honoured with the title of the " Libe-
rator of Colombia," was received with the greatest joy, and
treated with the most marked respect by all classes of the inha-
bitants. On the Ist of September he arrived at the port of
Callao, and " it is impossible," says the Guzetta del Gobierno
of Lima (whence the Bogota paper quotes the statement); " to
conceive the excess of joy which the unexpected news spread
in the capital. A thousand national flags were instantly seen
waving in the streets, and in a thousand manners were ex-
pressed universal applause, public hopes, and ardent patriotism.
The Chief of the Republic and its most distinguished officers
flew to meet. him. The civic force and the regular troops
lined the approaches ; and the people, filled with de-
light, flocked from all parts to feast their eyes with the
view of the HERO, the striking model of constancy, who
has for so long a time occupied the tongue of Fame with
his name, his struggles, and his victories !" The general
impatience which the news of his approach had- -eicited
was not allayed till towards three in the afternoons. when the
procession came in sight. " Then," says the Gazette,.. " there
was no limit to the public ecstasies; and amid the firing of
cannon, the tinging of bells, and the incessant shouts of the
citizens, the Liberator of Colombia was conducted to the man-
sion destined for his use !" Ile was there waited upon by a
depution of the sovereign Congress, who congratulated him on
his arrival in the name of the " whole Peruvian nation." The
President of the Republic, the chiefs and principal authorities,
afterwards accompanied hint to mass. " here," adds the
Gazette, "in the midst of the applauses of the people, prayers
were offered up for the eternal alliance of the four grand sections
of the South American Continent; admiration was testified to-
wards the Hero of Colombia—love towards the Chief of Peru—
and execration towards our tyrants." "Be thou (afterwards
exclaims the writer of the article), be thou the Liberator of
Peru, as thou has been of thy beloved Colombia. Let the
world see that South America has its Washington ; and that the
civic viretes, which have slept in Europe since, in the person of
William Tell, they accomplished the revolution of the Swiss
cantons, have revived in this western hemisphere."
On the 2d of September, when this scene of jubilee had
ceased, the authorities proceeded to business. The Sovereign
Constituent Congress on that day passed a decree,—first, ap-
pointing Bolivar to the office of terminating the difficulties con-
sequent au the existence of the government of Riva-Aguero,
in a part of the republic, since June 23, and the dissolution of
the national representation • and conferring upon him the ne-
cessary rowers, and the selection of persons of his confidence
for the ace3niplislnent of that enterprise. The preamble to
this decree runs thus :—" Desirous of avoiding, by all the
means which prudence dictates, the evils produced by
civil ciscord, espscially when there are foreign enemies to
comlee, and having the highest confidence in the liberating
President of Columbia, Simon Bolivar, whose protec-
tion file sovereign authority has solicited as the only means
of consolidating the national liberties since the last aggres-
sion re' the Spaniards, the Sovereign Constituent Congress has
decreed as follows." A subsequent decree, with a similar
preamble, confers upon Bolivar, under the name of " Den_
ver:r," first, the supreme military authority of Peru ; second,
dir tctorial political authority as connected with tile demands of
; and third, the honours of Liberator or Deliverer in all
th t territory of the Republic.
,On the 10th, the " Liberator of Colombia and Peru" pre-
sented himself in the National Congress, and addressed chat
body in a speech of thanks for their confidence, of professions
of zeal for their service.„ and of admiration at their devotedness i
find heroic resolution. He concluded by declaring, ,‘ that the
soldiers who had come from the Plate, from the Maule, the
Magdalena, and the Orinoco, as the deliverers of Peru, would
riot return to their native country ti:l they were covered with
laurels—till they could pass under triumphal arches, nor till
they could carry off as trophies the standards of Castile. They
will conquer and leave Peru free, or they will die. 'l'wis I
PnomysE,"

To this speech the President replied in the warmest expres.
sions of merited compliment. " You appear," said he, "to
be elected by Heaven to cover your country with benefits, and
yourself with glory. lon hastened hither at the voice of

The greatest enthusiasm was testified in the hall of sittings
at the conclusion of these speeches. The journalist can scarcely
find words to express his patriotic feelings, his admiration for
the Hero of Columbia, and his confid-_nce in the ultimate esta-

COURT OF ASSIZES AT PARIS, JAN. 30.

TRIAL OF ANTONIO BROCHETTI FOR AN AT-

TEMPI"TO 'MURDER.
The Court %vas opened at half-past ten, and the
number ofspectators (among whom wereseveral ladies) was very
great. Brochetti is of small stature, of a mild countenance, with
grey and curly hair; he replied in a calm tone of voice, in a jargon
hardly intelligible. A Dr. Zarchi was ordered to translate his
replies. He declared he was born at Rome, and was 40 years
of age ; that on first coming to Paris, a year and a half ago, he
had been employed as a servant, and afterwards at the tobacco
manufactory, at 12 sous a day. On his examination commen-
cing, tie admitted that Isacharus had frequently supplied him
with money, and lent him 40 francs. He had forbid Brochetti
his house, however, and he returned for the purpose of demand-
ing the receipt for the 40 francs, because he expected to be able
to pay the sum. He then received from Cto 12 sous a day. He
admitted that he had declared to a fellow-labourer, he meant,
if he could not gain more money, to blow his brains out. He
had no other intention in going to Isacharus but to borrow 100
francs, and did not ask fur it on the first day because Isacharus
was engaged. On the day when he made the attempt he met
he Priest a few paces from his own door. He entered his
kitchen with him, to go into the parlour. The President re-
marked that there was no necessity for this, as there was ano-
ther entry to the parlour. He denied having had the razor in
his hand on entering the kitchen, and declared he only took it
oat of his pocket on being insulted by the Priest, and on his at.
tacking him with a penknife. On being questioned by the Court
why the priest had attacked him, he said " When I asked for
a loan of 200 francs, and threatened to destroy myself if I did
not obtain it, he probably thought I threatened to destroy him."
Did you not attempt to cut Isacharus's tongue ?—The priest
must have dreamed Of that, for it is impossible to cut the
tongue of a living man.
'the prisoner alleged as the reason for not running away
when he was attacked by Ischarus, that the latter was' between
him and the door. The aged man was here introduced into
Court though unable to sun] or: himself. The venerableness
of his appearance was increased by a long white beard, and lie
wore several decorations. He spoke the Italian language, and
declared he was born at Bethlehem, and 76 years of age. His
parents were of the Greek Church, but he was a Catholic and a
Bishop of his Communion. On entering the Court he pro-
nounced a benediction on all present. His evidence confirmed
the circumstance stated in the act of accusation which we gave
yesterday. He persisted in stlying that Brachetti had put the
penknife in his mouth with the intention of cutting his tongue.
On retiring he declared he forgave the accused, and said he
hoptd he would be pardoned by justice. The woman Saulnier
was then examined, and confirmed the circumstance stated in
the Act of Accusation. A medical man described the wounds
the Priest had received as slight,
.and said his life had been
saved by his beard, which had Prevented the prisoner from
dividing the carotid artery. To a,question from a Juryman—
Brochetti said he had not been wounded at all, but only had
his finger scratched. Some other witnesses deposed to the cir-
cumstances of the arrest of Bruchetti, and to the fact of his
being destitute of money. After the witnesses had all been
e :amined, the Court was adjourned till the next day.
