PEACE WITH PERU

GEN. CORDOVA'S REBELLION.

We proceed to communicate in detail the interesting
official accounts received yesterday through Colonel
Frederic Basch, an extract of which was published in an
extraordinary sheet; namely, the destruction and chas-
tisement of General Cordova's fiction and the peace with
Peru, both being events of high importance.
As the Government observed, the rebellion of General
Cordova has been stifled in the cradle, and this ringleader
has been chastised for his enormous crimes with the pe-
nalty the law has reserved for traitors who, ungrateful
to their country, drench it in the blood of their brethren,
and endeavour to enthrone anarchy in the room of law.
Let the melancholy end of this General, on whom fortune
smiled as long as he walked in the path of his duty, serve
as an example, and who met an ignominious end as soon
as he attempted to Pet the laws aside, and to place himself
above the supreme authority established by the nation
Since the particulars which the public has seen in the
preceding extraordinary Registers, which manifested the
opinion of the pacific people of the province of Antioguia,
and their adhesion to the National Government, as well
as the measures that had been taken to establish order,
and chastise the treason of General Cordova, we shall
submit to it now the events which subsequently hap-
pened down to the engagement of the 17th of last month,
which restored the empire of the law and obedience to the
National Government.
On the 11th of October General O'Leary was with his
division at Canoes, where he did not sustain a single loss,
but where, owing to the good disposition of the people
and the inexperience of the rebels, he had procured mules
and cattle, and occupied the bridge del Balzadero without
any opposition whatever, a detachment which the rebels
bad posted there having deserted to their homes with their
arms and ammunition, the individuals composing the same
having told their commander that they disowned the au-
thority of the faction ruling at Medellin.
General O'Leary's despatch of the 13th mentions his
having received assistance of every description from the
mountaineers, who sent to him a deputation from Mari-
nilla, consisting of the principal inhabitants ; he likewise
received letters from the Vicar and other clergymen, re-
quiring him to hasten his march, as they could no longer
tolerate the tyranny of Cordova ; tbat the Vicar, Dr.
Posadas, had offered to render him any assistance ; that
the same individual had collected 160 armed men at a
place called El Santerareo, to be incorporated with the
national troops, when they arrived, and offered moreover
to mount his cavalry.
The whole province showed itself dissatisfied to Cor-
don ; and at Madellina conspiracy was discovered against
him, in consequence of which he ordered two officers to
be shot.

When the rebel learned the approach of Gen. O'Leary,
he marched from Penal with 300 men, which, it seems,
constituted the whole force he was able to collect. His
brother advanced upon Ceja with a detachment, where
the advanced guard stationed at Arenosa deserted on the
night of the 12th, leaving their officers alone behind.
General O'Leary, when this despatch was sent off,
purposed to march from his position by the road of San
Carlos, to take Cordova in flank, and to reach Santuario,
a place near Marnilla, by the 17th.
This movement was carried into effect, and on the
same day, the 17th, the rebel troops were beaten, as ap-
pears from the following report and proclamation :
Head-quarters at Rio Negro, October 19.

TO VIII rll/1/C? Or sat arrosorsor or LA 311,111,4LZ1LL,

I have the pleasure of Informing you, that on the 17th of
tober I fell in with General Cordova and his troops at the San-
tuario. After a fatiguing march through craggy roods, where
General Cordova was killed on the Said of battle, after an obsti-
nate resistance, and his troops defeated with great lees, though oars
was but very trilling. The result of this engagement was the en.
tire possesdon of this province by the forces of Government, and
the restoration of order, confidence, and trancilltity.

Want of dme prevents my giving the
you as well as the Government.
