New Brunswick Papers to the Bth of September
reached town this forenoon, but they contain no news. I
A New Yoi k Paper, ( The American) of a late date,
contains the following letter which it will be seen is
much at variance with the preceding accounts from
South America, relative to the defection of OLANSTA.
Private letters from Bogota assert that he had joined
the Independent cause with all his division; and the
Conatitueional of Bogota, quoted in the STAR of yester-
day, entertains no doubt of the fact, 4, since it is pub-
lished by the Spaniards themselves."
The evidence is, however, by no means conclusive; for.
if OLANZTA has quitted the Royalist cause, he appears
to have joined the independent at my of Buenos Ayres.
We subjoin the letter, without however attaching more
credit to it than the previous accounts, from which it is
so much at variance. Indeed, some of the statements
carry their own refutation :

LETTER IN THE NEW YORK AMERICAN.

" GENTLEMEN—Id the Evening Post of Tuesday last,
there was an article, said to be news from Peru, by the
way of Chagres, stating that General Olaneta, from
some private pique, had declared for the Patriots, and
that the head-quarters of General Bolivar was at Jauja.
That the public may no longer be imposed on by such
fabrications, it may be proper to state, that the differ-
ences among the Spanish Generals, to which the Patriots
attach so much importance, were settled in April last
They had their origin in General Olaneta precipitately
declaring for the absolute King and not for the Patriots,
whom he detests, as has been stated in our public prints.
This difference was settled by the Viceroy's Proclama-
tion, re-establishing the ancient Government in Peru.
At that time Generals Valdez and Olaneta bad an in-
terview at a village near Desaguadero they separated
amicably, and the latter returned to his command at
Potosi : his force never exceeded 2,000 men, whilst
that of the South, under Valdez, ready to overwhelm
him, amounted to 10,000 men.
" Bolivar was at Truzillo in May, with a force net
exceeding 6,000 men, surrounded by a hostile popula-
tion : should all his expected reinforcements have joined
