FROM THE CORREO MERCANTIL.

Rio r „Immix), JuLT P.Orm.

Three days ago, the American ship Franklin arrived
in this port from Callao and Valparaiso, having sailed
fuel the first in May, and from the second in the be-
ginning of June. It brings word that General Can-
terac had marched from Jauja to Truzillo; that his
army consisted of eleven battalions of infantry and
2,000 cavalry, and that he was followed by a reserve
of 3,000 men more.

This news (confirmed by several letters,) agrees with
another which we mentioned three days ago, that Boli-
var was going to be beaten in that same province of
Truxillo, by Cantarac with a very iespectable force ;
that the former had ordered vessels to be ready on the
coast, to save himself in case of need.
In fact, we now know by the Franklin, that the
Prueba frigate, and three other vessels were at Guan-
chzco, the port of Truxillo. Tryirbeg the blockheads
to observe how well these news agree with the battle in
Casma on the 6th May ; Cantarac wounded, his army
routed, and Bolivar in Lima tin the 10th of that month.
We learn by the same vessel, not only that Freyre
failed in his Attempt upon Chiloe, but that Chili lost
in the enterprise, the Voltaire corvette, and about
3,000 men.

It seems that the environs of Lima are infested by
troops of vagabonds (these called Montoneros) addicted
to robbery, who cause serious interruptions to com-
mence. They are like Gomez, and others, in New Spain,
who seize goods on the highways, afterwards taking a
ransom from the owners; all these are lessons for the fo-
reigners, who have got the trade into their hands,
thinking to carry it on w ithout risk, as in time of peace.
It is added that the Prueba frigate was in the port of
Truzillo in very bad condition, without means to obtain
provisions, or to pay the crew.

The English ship Altana, which was at St. Poles),
was expected every moment at Callan, whence it was
Ito sail for Valparaiso and Rio de Janeiro, with a large
quantity of silver. The Franklin brought 800,000
piastres, mostly belonging to merchants of the
United States.

CASSEL, SEPTEP.IISER :so.
Since the direction of the Police has been entrusted
to Dr. Pfiesfer, it is observed, with universal satisfacti
that measures of precaution formerly practised, and
some of them of a very offensive description, have
ceased, they having had their origin in the distrust in-
spired by the late Director of the Police. The very
great number of posts of gensdarmes has been di-
minished, and the tickets of admission for those who
wished to visit the Palace of Wilhelmshoahe, are no
longer required. Confidence and cheerful security has
returned, and ate manifested in unreserved cooversa-
tions in public places. The proceedings against tEe
late head of the Police Department, M. Von Manget,
continue, under the superintendance of M. Bode, Judge
in the Criminal Court, and Dr. Pfiesfer.
The latter, who was commissioned to examine the
papers of M. Murhard, was not able, after several days
strict investigation; to discover anything that could in
any wise affect that Gentleman, and gave the most
honourable testimony to that effect to M. Murhard, who,
it is thought, will for the future reside in Cassel, where
he has property, and formerly resided.
