Worn the auxiliary artily of Pero, to cover the coast
departments, and to organize several corps of reserve
in the interior.
Orders have been given for forming the National
Militia throughout the country, on the principle laid
down by the Congress of Ctictua ; in so much that
several corps of citizens, who recognize the defence of
the country as their first duty, are now added to our
battalions. You will examine the provisional decrees
which the Executive has issued for the due observance
of the law on this subject, and will establish a perma-
nent system for the national militia in all the branches
and objects of its organization. Those measures, and the
abundant elements of war which we possess, have placed
the Republic in a condition to present itself armed at
all points, in defence of its liberty and independence.
Our naval force is undergoing that improvement and
increase which, in our immediate circumstances, it re-
quires. The Colombian flag has made itself respected
throughout the seas, and where it has encountered that
of Spain, it has left a monument of the superiority
which it derives from the valour of its sailors. The
Executive has adopted measures for fixing the strength
of our navy, as well on our rivers and coasts as on the
high seas, and for laying aside such vessels as occasion
immense erpenses,without being of the slightest service.
Little, however, can be done in this department, unless
education be encouraged among oar Naval Officers,
and until the laws, to which I have elsewhere referred,
be enforced. Naval instruction is taught in Carthagena
and Guayaquil, as far as the small funds which the Ex-
ecutive can supply for this purpose will permit; but it
can make but little progress until warmly protected by
Congress. Having already represented the state of the
army to Congress, in my former Messages, pointing
out such laws as appeared to me necessary and just, I
shall content myself with naming the subject, in the
hope that during the present Session, you will take this
interesting object into your consideration.
Such is the state of our Republic in the various
branches of its administration ; possessing friendship
and good in'elligence with American and foreign Go-
. vernmentr.: regularity in its conventions and treaties;
order and tranquillity at home; respect and submission
te the laws : free exercise of the liberty of the Press ;
the dissemination and advancement of public education;
well-founded hopes of improvement in the state of our
Treasury ; an army covered with laurels, and zealously
devoted to the cause of independence and liberty ; to-
gether with sufficient resources for supporting, under
every event, our dignity, our government, and our laws.
It belongs to you, Gentlemen, to remove such obstacles
as impede the rapid march of the Republic to its height
of pm s 1 ity, and to reform tho.e errors which the pub-
lic voice and your own judgments condemn. If we take
a retrospective view, and contempl ate what Colombia
was when she published I,er code, we shall recognize
with sur prise, the grand career we have since run, and.
the enormous difficulties we have surmounted. This
rcflectio i sit add anlince us to persevere with zeal, ho-
nour, and patriotism in the -exercise of our respective
faculties. The Executive has reason to expect these
vir.tres from the Representatives who compose the
L..gislative As e:riblics, and y, u may rely confidently,
on receiving from are such assistance as my experience
in the Administration may cunt) e me to afloat ; arid,
above all, the strictest punctuality in the exrcution of
)our wise *es ,lves.

OFFICIAL FUOM PERU—ORDER OF TIIE DAB.
Head-Quarters, Lima, •1):c. 824.

His Excellency the Libel ator received List night,
through the Aide Lk Camp of Gene,-al Susie, (Captain
Alarcon), tl e confirmation of the battle of Ayacucho, on
the 9th inst. under the ordei s of the immortal Gen. SJcre.

After five months (.1' skilful manoeuvring on both sides
and several engagements which always resulted glo-
rious to our arms, General Sucre took his position in
Ayacucho, and waited for the enemy. Oa the Bth inst.
t e two armies had some skirmishes. On the 9th the
Liberating Army was attacked by the enemy, who
posted himself on the heights in front of our camp.
Generd Valdez, on the vanguard, commanded the
right with lon &Id-pieces, four battalions, and two
squadrons of hussars. General Monett commanded
the centre, with five battalons; and Gen.Villalobos tbe
left, with seven pieces and four battalions. The re-
mainder of the cavalry and of the Spanish army re-
mained in the rear.

Our attack was made in the following order : Gen.
Cordova attacked tl:e right, with the second division of
Co'ornbil, composed of the Battalions of Bogota, and
the voltigeurs of Pichinca and Caraccas. Gam, Lamar
had the command of the left with the battalions of Peru,
and Legions No. 1,2, and 3. The division of General
Lam was in reserve.

The two armiei, although unequal in strength, were
ardently desirous might. The number of the enemy
consisted of about ten thousand—and that of our's five
thousand eight hundred.
The battalions of the second division of Colombia
imaicLed with supported arms, with an intrepid t' that
has few examples, They had scarcely commenced their
fire when the Spaniards began to lose ground, :end con-
fusion instantly tecame apparent among them. The
division of Peru having rm.t with a rime vigorous re
si4ance at the enemy's vanguard, under Gt•tieral Val-
dez, was rtinfoiced by General Lira. with two batta-

lions under Vencedoj and Vargas. of the Colombi in
Guard. From that moment nothing could resist the
impetuosity of our brave men. The second squ tdron
of the Hussat s of Junin. under the intrepid Commander
Olabarria, made a brilliant charge upon the enemy's
squadron, which was posted on the tight of General
Valdez. and obt,ined a complete victory. The grena.
diets of Colombia having alighted, charged rn foot, by
our right Sink, the Spanish Infantry. The regiment of
Hussars, of Colombia, under the active Colonel Silva,
charged with their lances the grenadiers of the Vice
King's guard, and put them to the rout. This brave
Colonel received three wounds by lances in the action.
All our troops conducted themselves as heroes during
the short but terrible shock of the battle. Our loss
has been— _ _

1 General, 8 Officers, and 300 men killed; and 6 Generals, 34
Officers, and 480 men wounded. That of the enemy—The Vice.
Zing wounded, 6 Generals dead, and 2,600 men dead and wounded.

PROCLAMATION.
-Tha Liberating Army, commanded
and skilful' General Sacre, has at once

- • wig

'put an end to the war in Peru, and of the American '
Continent, by one of•the most 'glorious victories ever
°Stalled bftbe• arms, of the New World. Yes! the
army has fulfilled the prolate I made you in its name
to accomplish the liberty of Peru in the course of
this year.
PERUVIANS !—The time has arrived when I must also
fulfil the promise I made you to divest myself of the
Dictatorship on the day that victory would seal your
destiny. The Congress of Peru will be assembled on
the 10th of February (proximo), being the anniversary
of the Decree by which was confided to me this su-
preme authority, and which I will then return to the
Legislative Body which honoured me with their confi-
dence.—These are not empty words.
PERUVIANS !—Peru has suffered great military dis-
asters. The troops who guarded it, occupied the free
provinces of the North, and carried war against the
Congress:—The Navy obeyed no longer the commands
of the Government. The Ex-President Riva Aguero,
by turns a usurper, rebel, and traitor, fought against
his country and her allies. The auxiliaries of Chili, by
their lamentable defection, deprived us of the assistance
of the troops; and those of Buenos Ayres, having re-
volted in Callao against their Chiefs, delivered that
place to the enemy. The President Torre Tagle, making
au appeal to the Spaniards to occupy this capital,
achieved the destruction of Peru.
Discord, misery, discontent, and personal interests,
had spread their bane through every part of the coun-
try. Peru seemed to exist no more—all was dissolved !
Under these awful circumstances, the Cor greo- ap-
pointed me a Dictator, to save the relics of their last
hopes. The loyalty, the constancy, and the valour of
the army of Colombia, have performed this wonderful
undertaking. The Peruvians, when a civil war was
raging, acknowledged the legitimate Government, and
have rendered immense services to the country ; whiie
the troops who protected them have covered thems.lves
with glory on the fields of Junin and Ayacucho. Fac-
tions have disappeared from the soil of Pon. Th's
capital has recovered for ever its sweet liberty. Callan
is invested, and must be given up by capitulation.
PERUVIANS !—Peace has succeeded to War : Union
to Discord : Order to Anarchy : and Happiness to Mis-
fortune ; But never forger, I beseech you, that for
these blessings you ate indebted to the illustrious victors
of Ayacucho.
Pt.RUVIANS I—The day on which your Congress will
meet, will be a day of glory ! the day that will con-
summate the must teivent wishes of my ambition—do
not ask more !
(Signed) BOLIVAR.

ANTONIO JOSE DU SUCRE

RUBBERIES AND AILTRDERS AT

CONST.i.VTINUPLE.

The following singular story respecting a gang of
marJerees and robbers, in Constantinople, is taken from
the 1 toile of Tue.day last :
ei We have the lo.lowin,. accounts from our Cor-
respondert at Constantinople, of a horrible event, un-
known in the annals of its history, which has taken
place in that capital.
" At the hour of midnight, two men belonging to
the guard were going by the side of the houses which
borJer the little cemetery. Suddenly y perceived a
poster beating a large chest on Ws- shoulders, who, on
being questioned, answers that he is carrying to the
port the effects of a traveller who is on the eve of his
departure. In consequ,nce of the suspicions which
they reasonably conceived, the guards conduct the
porter back to the house from which he had come;
and as he refuses to open the chest, on the pretext that
he has not got the key, one of the Turks remains, and
t'ie "ther runs tl intorm the Bach-Aga (commander of
the guard) of what has pas-ed. The latter immediately
repairs to the spot with his attendants. They force
open the chest. What a horrible sight ! They see two
dead bodies ctit in pieces, one that of a Jew, the other
of a Frank. They were struck as with a ray of light.
Tlry recollect that several individuals have disappeared
in Pere and Galata, whose relations and friends could
sot by any means account for their disappearance.
" The Bach-Aga causes this house, and four others,
belonging to Turks, which, together with the first,
`formed as it were an island, to be surrounded. After a
strict search, they were convinced that these five houses
;had internal communications. They proceeded to dig,
and found a well, which contained several dead bodies.
The men and women which inhabited this horrible den
were arrested, arid the crime has been discovered in its
whole extent. The object of their association was to
draw into the snare any one who had fine stuffs to sell,
or another whom they invited to come and exchange
to.advantage his money for that lately issued.
" Two of three women were particularly employed
to call in those who passed, and who, when they were
once drawn into the snare, were stripped and murdered
by the men. Such a tissue of iniquities and horrors
could not long escape the watchful eye of justice. It
had seized on all the guilty, who have been condemned
to death, and executed without distinction of sex. The
Sultan then commanded • that the doors and windows
of the five Turkish houses should be walled up, and
should thus remain with the stamp of reprobation, and
as a lasting monument of a crime without parallel, and
,frightful by its infamy.
" Tice Gabrielle, bombard, Captain Allegre, which
was bringing the animals sent by the Bey of Tunis to

•=4r".;.'7l'^r"

•

his Majesty, has perished on the tbast of t;al•Aout, at
the entrance of the Golf of Tanis. The whole cry*
Tas saved, as well as the greater part of the animals,
whey bad no news of the Cybele frigate, which sailed
in company with this bombard, which it convoyed. it
was hoped, however, that it had survived the tempest
which arose the second day after its departure, and
continued two days:'
