Byahe William Thomson, arrived at Liverpool from
New York, Papers to the 16th ult. were received yes-
terday. We subjoin such extracts as appear worthy
of attention.

NEW YORK, OCT. 13. •
Colonel Lima, Aide-de-Camp to General Paez,
*hose arrival with Commodore Daniels at Philadelphia
we mentioned a few days ago; has furnished informa-
tion, that when he was at Porto Bello on the 30th of
August last, official accounts were received at Panama
from Upper Peru, confirming the previous accounts,
that Gendkal Bolivar had marched from Truxillo. to
attack the Royalists; and adding, that on hearing of
the approach of the Liberator, the Spanish General Can-
terac, who was then at Pasco, retreated to the strong
entrenchments of Jauja, in Upper Peru, where he forti-
fied himself; but General Bolivar, after having block-
aded Cdllao, and left in Lima the battalion of Zulia,
two squadrons of cavalt y, and the guerillas of the
country, pursue) Canterac, and forced him from his
entrenchments. Canterac again retreated precipitately
into the interior, leaving some prisoners, who declared
that he had no more than 6,000 men, while Bolivar's
army consisted of 14,000, of which 10,000 were Co.
lombians, with which force Bolivar was pursuing him.
'The prisoners were sent to Guayaquil, and from thence
to Panama in the corvette Santander, which arrived at
Panama, on the 9:h of August; and they were, at the
time of Colonel Lima's departure, confined in the castle
of Chagres. Among them were four Spanish Colonels
and a number of subaltern Officers of various ranks..—
.Thus are the accounts of the triumphs of the Patriots in
Peru, and of the discomfiture of the Royalists, substan-
tially confirmed. The Boston Advertiser of Monday
states,'" That the Spanish Consul, Mr. Chacon, has re-
ceived intelligence of the arrival of the Spanish squa-
dron at Callao, and of some successes of the royal arms."
Whatever these pretended successes may be, it is ap-
prehended that they can have no influence on the move-
ments of Bolivar, or retard in the least his victorious
career. It is likely that the intelligence said to be re-
ceived by the Spanish Consul may test on no better
• anthority than the statement which has recetrly ap•
peared in some of our Papers, that Lima, which was
some months ago. re.occupied by the Patriots; had
never been out of the possession of the Royalists.
OCT. 14.—The following extract of a letter re-
ceived in Baltimore, from an Officer in the expedition
under Commodote Daniels, with auxiliary troops for
Per u, is published in the Baltimore Federal Gazette. :
EXTR ACT OF A LE.TTER, DATED LIMO BAY, SRPT..S.

When we sailed from Porto Cavello it was pretty
gene: ally understood that we were to debark at Chagres,
but Commodore Daniels, who commands the squadron,
had of course his. secret instructions, and on the Jd inst.
we found ourselves off this Bay, which is about ten
_ _

Miles eastward of Chagres. It is, I believe, very little,
if at all, known to mariners ; and before we could yen-
, tune to enter, it became necessary to sound and survey
the whole of the Bay. This arduous service the Com-
modore, with his accustomed activity, had performed in
two days, under his personal direction, in open boats,
though it r ained incessantly the whole of The time.—
The fleet then entered, having found it to be a fine Bay,
with good shelter and safe anchorage for a large fleet.
The scorounding country is wholly destitute of inhabi-
tants, the entire surface of the land clothed with a forest
of cocoa trees, so thick and interwoven as t he consi-
dered impenetrable, and indeed ever found to be so, till
the genius of Bolivar penetrated this barrier of nature.
Though battling in Peru, his fine military el e is every
where; and the-e three months h has had a
road cut for nine miles through this f nest, broad
enough for four men to march abreast, and which will
bring us in a march of 13 miles to Panama. This in
itself is a little revolution, or rather a great revo:u-
tionary improvement in the communication between the
two'seas. We anchored within half a mile of the shore,
commenced debarkation at one o'clock, and here again
the activity and judicious arrangements of our Commo.
dote were such, that by evening we were all, about
three thousand five hundred effective men, on land.
'e encamped for the night and marched for Panama
in the morning. We are under the command of an
excellent Officer, Colonel Manega, who has the first
battalion of Venezuela, and second in command a no
less able Officer, Lientenant-Colonel Brooke Young,
who has the second Venezuela battalion, 9(K) strong,
and both as fine troops as ever stepped. Bolivar wrote
for all the British Officers, and we have several. He
particularly desired that Lieutenant-Colonel Young
should be sent to him, acrd as Young obtained the un-
usual permission of selecting the subaltern Officers, you
/slay, suppose he has corps not easily to be discomfited.
Besides, we all start, Officers and men, with six months
pay in advance, and three suits of clothe;. If the Li.
berator should not have cut up the Spaniards before
we arrive, we shall enable him to settle the affair in
good style. The fleet will sail to-morrow.
" We are the mote desirous to furnish ample details
of what appears 'authentic intelligence from South
America, as we are informed by our correspondent at
Liverpool, under the date of the Nth ult. that the
arrivals of the New York packets have within the last
two months become events .of considerable interest to
the political world. Expresses are not unfrequeutly
sent off to London with the Papers brought by them,
for the guidance of the speculators in the Mexican and
South American Securities. So that your press has the
means of promoting or checking speculations in this
species of stock.' We have also speculators here, who
make it their business to disguise and misrepre:ent
South American news. But although they have some-
times succeeded in their object, and created doubts as
to the final triumph of the Patriots, we never enter-
tained the least suspicion that they would fail in as-
serting their independence ; and every day's arrival
thews that our anticipations were correct."
IROM THE MERCANTILE ADVERTISER.
NEW YORK, ocronuit 16.
Our last Jamaica papers contain the following state-
ment, furnished by gentlemen arrived there, who passed
Panama and Chagres about the Ist of September.
General Bolivar, by the last advices received at Pa-
nama, was occupying the departments of Guaylas and
Truxillo. The forces under his command, at these places
and the vicinity, were 8,000 Colombian soldiers and
4,000 Peruvians. The Republic of Chile had sent 3,500
men, to be under the command of the late President,
Riva Aguero ; but so soon as the Government was in-
formed that he had been superseded by Bolivar, they
ordered the troops to return forthwith.
The proVinces of Buenos Ayres are making prepara-
tions for a war. . The Spanish army consists of upwards
of 20,000 men ; and notwithstanding the general opi-
ales of-the Peruvians is for the coustry, its destruction

• •
' sill be difficult and hazardous; as the provinces of Lal
Plata and Chile have absolutely 'Wined to send any
succours to Bolivar, and the Peravianshate the name of
Colombia, more than that of the despoils Ferdinand VII.
