A PUZZLING CASE BRILLIANTLY
SETTLED.
In vest Of snow-whiteness, and Boots of jet hue,
A Hair-dresser ran, we might rather say, new,
So rapid his pace, powder •bag in his hand,
And turn'd into Exeter•street in the Strand;—
Where rounding the corner, in contact he came
With Sam, long accustomed Soot-tin !to proclaim.
So fierce the concussion that both stagger'd hack,
All white the Soot-hearer, the Barber all black,
Excepting his Boots, for they lost their jet glow,
And !NOD d ns if cover'd with flakes of pure snow ;
Fur Soot versus Piss der both bags were at work,
The Combatants fighting like Grecian and Turk.
Of Justice the parties now sought, each, redress,
And earls his great damage now prone to express;--
'• Your Worship perceives," said the indignant barber,
This plight in, that no one my person will harbour;
My vest, lately white, with vile soot badly suits,
And worse the hair-powder that covers my boots."—,
" And who in his service," ask'd Soot-ho, " will keep,
A dandefied, puwder'd, firll•dresed Chimney-sweep?"
The Justice was puzzled, and friendship ailvied,
" Reflection," he said, "should be cherished and prifd,".....
" Hrfl. etion l" the Frixeur exclaim'd, " Sir, 'tis gone !"
" Which way ?" ask'd the. Justice,'' why, Sir, it is lacking;
For never the worth of reflection was known
The lustre when absent of WAttacts's Jet Blacking !"
The Pun was received with eclat, and Sam Sweep
Reflection in pristine ascuieness to keep,
Applied to the Boots a restorative hand,
Renewing the visions distinctive and bland;--
The parties agreed, and each fnity-like shade
Still prone is the Hair-dresset's loots to prevatle.

PERU.

The following letter 4ives an interesting detail
of events that took place at the time of the
treacherous surrender of Callao to the Royalists:

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED CALLAO BAY, ON 110.%P.D
TILE BRIG AIIBORA, FE8.25, 1824.
" Before this reaches yon, you will have heard of Callao
being again a Spanish fortress, the Buenos-Ayrean Black re-
giment lhaving again put it into their hands ; and which, as
soon as known, the British merchants began to feel would bear

heavy upon their several interests ; and from the robberies daily
committing on shore and the Custom-house warehouses by the
Black, they determined to no time in getting their pro-
pay out of their hands ; an 4 myself and friend came down
h±re for that purpose, to arrange matters with the Governor
Casa-Irugo, (formerly a Spanish Coloml, and prisoner in the
Castle) ;_ but he threatened us with total confiscation of all
British property, although „o4,trell know he was otherwise in-
, dined. After, however, two or three days' delay, on the I sth
instant, we obtained permission to embark all British property
on payment of 15i per cent. duty, which, rather than submit
to farther depredations from the Degroes, the merchants deter-
mined upon acceding to, Captain Martin, of his Majesty's ship
Fly, having previously demanded the free embarkation of all
British property without sinew.

• -
"The next day, the 16th, the Protector, with Admiral Guise
came into the bay, which circumstance, as anticipated, put a
stop altogether to further embarka..ion, and from that time to
the present no British goods have been allowed to proceed from
the shore. The robberies in the Custom-house and on shore
upon the Plaza have been very great, principally committed
by the black soldiers, who leave been and still continue in a
complete state of disorganization, and under no contraul of
their officers. With regard to my own property, and the pro.
perfy of Others under my care, I was fortunate enough to em.
bark the whole of my goods in the Customhouse and in Lima,
that were moveable, on board the Fame ten days before ; and
I have now no other goods on shore than those in my private
store, which has as yet suffered no plunder, nor any of the
others belonging to foreigners. Contributions have been forced,
which the parties bear their respective proportions of.
" Fortunately for the British shipping and property afloat,
Captain ill artin, a few days previous to Admiral Guise's arrival,
by strong remonstrances with the Governor, and no small risk
and. trouble, obtained eeerstilssion for all British shipping to
withdraw themselves fe4in under the guns of the fortress, and
to take up their anchorage out of guneeliot range ; so that all
the'British vessels are now anchored a league from the shore,
and allowed no other communication than for water, which is
denied to all other flags.
" Six United States vessels, laden with flower, &c., and in
ballast, have been taken possession of by the Governor, and
their cargoes landed, but whether by consent of the concerned
is not known, although they had a good opportunity to have
come out when the Itntielt vessels proceeded for the outer roads,
but they have preferred, It- is said, remaining behind with a
view of selling their flour, &c.
" On the night of the 24th instant, Admiral Guise made a
most daring and gallant attack upon the forts and patriot ships
of war in the port which the Spaniards had taken possession of
and manned, and I am happy to say completely succeeded in
cutting adrift every armed ship and storeship. in the harbour,
and he set fire to and burnt the Venganza frigate, Santa Rosa
corvette, and the Oceana Chiliati vessel that was in the harbour,
and one or two other small crafts.
"'The fire from the forts was tremendous, hut to no purpose
whatever against the boats, which stirtneunted every difficulty,
and completely effected the object they had in view. The fri-
gate, corvette, and Oceana, are burnt to the water's edge the
latter caught fire by accident. The conflagration took place
at two o'clock in the morning, and the grandeur and awful ef-
fect of the scene cannot he described.
" By this manoeuvre the American provision vessels have
been comptetely burnt out, the port having been made ,too
warm for them, and the Admiral has now taken them under
his own protection. This port is now declared under a strict
blockade, which is now and will bo respected by the British
commander.
" Our communications arc now carried on by Chorillas, by
which mode we daily receive advices, and shall continue so to
do until the Spaniards conic down, which, it is said, are ex-
pected in Lima in all this week. It is, however, the general
opinion afloat, from the discontent prevailing among. the blacks,
and the harassed state they are kept in by Admiral Guise, that
a counter-revolution in the Castle, is not far distant, should the
arrival of the Spaniards be many days delayed."

" Brig illurora, Callao Bay, March 1.
" I wrote
.you fully per brig Colder, on the 26th ultimo.
The present is merely to advise, that the Spanish forces under
General Roth! took possession of the Castles yesterday, and of
Lima the evening previous.
" The occupation of the Castles as above appears generally
to give satisfaction to those having property at stake, as their
anxiety is considerably abated with respect to farther depreda-
tions on property, which it is thought will be respected, and the
insubordination of the revolted Negroes will now be very soon
Out an end to by the Spanish forces. By all accounts, the
evacuation of Litnat and occupation by the Spanish army, took
place without any disorder or loss of lives, except a few excesses
by robbers, which were trivial.
'
Martin, of the Fly, went up to Lima on the 20th,
to meet Ceeatpttl'itein Spanish authorities, and to make arrangements for
the security, &c. of British property : he is expnted down to-
' day or to-morrow, when we shall hear the result of his interview.
" I shall sail to-morrow Tor Mexico."

The following information was yesterday posted at Lloyd's:—
" The following vessels got out of Callao with the assistance
of Captain Martin, of his Maj_esty's ship Fly, and were under
his protection on the 26th of February, viz.:—Crown, Crag g ;
Aurora, Fraser; Speculator, Chapman; Cecilia, Sherwood;
Dolphin, -- ; Henri of Antwerp, —; Thomas Newlan,
Clark ; Queen Dillon ; Elizabeth, Thompson ; ShakespeFe,
Anderson ; Diadem, Roach • Peruvian, Dulling • Grecian,
Holbrow ; Fifeshira Packet, Robson; Fair Ellen, Sames ; and
Louisa, —."
EXTRACT FROM Tilt AGENT TO LLO YD'S AT VALPARAISO,
DATED FEBRUARY 22.
" One of the privateers which was cruising in these seas is
said to have been sunk in a gale of wind, with a number of Chi.
lian troops on board, which she took in a prize; the other is said
to have been captured by Admiral Guise's ship.

The following proclamation was issued by Bolivar, on as
'Arming the Dictatorship of Peru :-
6. PktOCIJAMATION.

" Peruvians ! —The disasters of the army, and the conten.
dons of parricidal parties, have reduced Peru to the lamentable
condition of having recourse to the tyrannical power of a Dic-'
tator to preserve it.
" The Constitutional Congress has confided to me this odi-
ous authority, which I could not have refused without treason
to Colombia and to Peru, intimately connected by the bonds of
justice, liberty, and national interest.
" I should have preferred never to have conic to Peru, and
I should even have preferred your loss itself to the odious title
of Dictator. But Colombia was compromised, and I could not
hesitate.
" Peruvians !—Your chiefs, your internal enemies, have
calumniated Colombia, her brave defenders, and myself. They
say that we intend to usurp your rights, your territory, and
your independence. 1 declare to you in the name of Colombia,
and by the oath of the Liberating Army, that my authority
shall not exceed the time indispensably requisite to prepare
ourselves for victory,—that at the moment the army leaves the
provinces which it now occupies, you shall be constitutionally
governed by your own laws and your own magistrates.
" Peruvians !—The field of battle, which will be a witness
of the valour of our soldiers and the triumph of your liberty—
that fortunate field shall see me throw from my hands the dic-
tatorship; and from that field 1 and my brothers in arms, hay-
itig given you liberty, will return to Colombia without taking
a grain of sand from Peru. (Signed) " noLIVA R.
