the memory or the oldest inhabit-grits. •On the
3d October it was believed that there were not
ess than 300 persons afflicted 'with the prevailing
disease; there is, scarcely a family that has es-
caped, and in many families there is not one well
enough to attend on the sick. The .common dis-
ease is the ague and fever, which is not very
fatal, though .very distressing. At. Harper's
Ferry the disease bad not sensibly abated, and
at the Big Lick, on the Ist inst. it continued to
spread.

Loan OCIIRANE'S ENTRY INTO LIMA.--(Ex-
tract of a letter from a British merchant in Lima,
dated July 19.)—" Yesterday Lord COCIIRANE
made his, entry into this city, and his reception
Was most flattering. A magnificent chariot, with
four cream-coloured horses, was sent to Chorillos,
a port about two leagues from Lima, for his re-
ception, accompanied by the Cabildo and the
Chief Officers of State, His Lordship was re-
ceived by the Archbishop, Bishops, and all the
heads of the Convents, and conducted to the
Palace, amidst the most enthusiastic shouts from
the People, of cc Viva la Patria," " Viva l'Alrni-
, ratite," Sz.c. A magnificent dinner was prepared
en this most memorable occasion, of which Oen.
San Martin, Lord Cochrane, and their Staff, to-
gether with the Great Officers Of State, and all
the heads of departments, partook. Nothing
can exceed the enthusiasm of the Peruvians at
having gained their liberty. They naturally an-
ticipate great advantages from that intercourse
with the rest of the world which has been so long
denied them, and appear particularly anxious to
cultivate a friendly intercourse with England—a
facility which the gallantry and judicious con-
duct of Lord Cochrane has tended powerfully to
promote."
RIO DE JANEIRO, OCT. I.—The people here
- are very quiet, but I fear unless the Cortes send
some troops immediately, we shall have further
disturbances. I think there is a very strong party
here for declaring independence, and it is only
because the, Portuguese are not disposed to fall
"IF from the government- by the Cortes, that
keeps affairs from coming to an issue. The idea
is very general that when the Deputies from the
Brazils meet in Cortes, they will insist on' the
rileture of the Court to Rio. From all I see of
b„e
.118POsition of the people, that measure must
t a"Pted, or in a short tune all the troops Por-
eugal can. send will be insufficient to prevent a
leclaration of independence.
