71( Itiva Agucro, suspecting that, after the triumph of Nfoquegua '
the legitimate Government of Peru had projected the occupation
of
Lima on a wrong calculation, undertook his mad expedition to the
Intermedios. The result has shewn him that our combinations
were well made. All the necessary measures had been previously
taken. The advance of the enemy into the interior was the signal
of his ruin. With the surprise of the squadron of the Arequipa
cavalry they allowed themselves to be deceived—from that moment
Santa Cruz limbered be was invincible. Ile conceived a plan, the
magnitude alone Of which excites astonishment. De. sought to
carry it into effect; but the Viceroy, anticipating all, placed ob.,
istacle's in his way, be having occupied the Desaguadero,, La Pas
Oruro, and rdcitabamba, and the first named position bent;
also strongiy garrinmed, , the passage over of the troops situated
on tire other side of the river became nearly impossible.
• 13eing master of Potosi and Chuquisaca, and in communication
ith the Losirer Provinces, he thought his command in Peru would
be eternal. iNsdlish man! he knew not "that our soldiers know how
to overcome the obstacles opposed by nature. Whilst I was chi-
lecting all the detached corps, preparing my division, and making
every exertion to org3nixt it, and come up with the enemy, posted
in Oruro, the national army passed the Desaguadero at die point of
Calacoto, when two companies belonging to the battalions of Vic-
toria and Chemins, commanded b) the intrepid General Varlet,
dispersed the opposing troops, and his triumph would have been
complete had not night prevented it.
The Daaguadess, was passed by Br/limning, every obstacle
was overcome. Thstienenty, panic-struck on seeing an occurrence
they never imagined possible, commenced his retreat on Oruro,
Santa Crus having funned a junction with Gamarra, and being
then in command of ale thousand men, did not dare to face an ene-
lei; although of inferior force.---In the meanwhile, the Viceroy

occupied the point of Stinson, and estatllshcd hiscommunications'
with me.
" This division having joined the main army, on the 13th inst..
the soldiers congratulated each other on past eventS, anxious to close
the campaign. On the 14th, we encamped at Anconuno, and the,
next morning arrived at Cicacica, where the enemy had passed the
preceding night. His retreat was within out own view, and he left
behind him 100 tents, his sick, and a quantity of heavy stores. The
cavalry squadron of Tarija, with Gen. Valdez et • their head, ha-
rassed his rear, and pursued hint to Ayo-Ago, In the road taking
front hint several prisoners, horses, ands quantity of ammunition.
At Catamarca We took 90 prisoners. 10 cases of ammunition, the
printing establishment, and D. Jose Rodriquez, who had charge of
it. In Viacha, a squadron of cavalry was surprised, 11 prisoners
taken, twenty killed, and the rest dispersed. Our column, under
the orders of General Valdez, after a hasty March back. occupied
the Desaguadero. The bridge having beet plaeed at the disposal
of the Viceroy, by one of the enemy's officers, named Itlacituca,
together with three other officers,l4o men, two pieces of artillery,
and the corresponding ammunition, no other alternative was Left
to Santa Cruz, than that of abandoning the remnant of his army'
and saving himself, escorted by a part of his cavalry. The other
commanders do not know what road to take,. and most probably
they will fall into the hands of air troops situated on the coast, or
those of Gen. Caratala, who is still in-pursuit of them.

" The campaign has been the most prosperous. With very few
shots, an army of 6,000 has been dispersed, 1,500 prisoners have
been taken, as many muskets, and twenty officers. In our posses.
sion are their Generals' colours and those of the 5d regiment, nearly
all their ammunition and artillery, 100,000 muskets, cartridges, &c.

" La Paz, September 30, 1825."
The ft nits of the whole of the last campaign in Upper
Peru, have consequently been lost by the Independents,
and mtich must now depend on General BOLIVAR'S
energy and resources.
According.to the latest accounts (of the 30th Oc-
tober); from Lime, BOLIVAR was then at that place,
and in theeiereise of the supreme authority. The Con-
gress had been dissolved and a military Government
substituted in the meantime. His Excellency is said to
have succeeded in establishing peace and union amongst.
the Patriots ; and it was 'expected that he would scon
be able to take the field with an army of upwards of
11,000 men. BOLIVAR'S great strength was between
Lima and • Pisco, composed of the Colombians, Buenos-
Ayreans, acid Chilians, under General PINTos, and this
force was to be increased by an auxiliary one of 2,000
men, who left Valp4 tiso in the middle of October.—
LANZA, a Guerilla Chief, is in the neighbourhood of
Salta, and is stated to have been joined by 1,,500 of
SANTA Caus's men. •

We have received to-day Lisbon Papers to the sth
inst. Among the extracts which we subjoin will be
found some interesting intelligence from Brazil:

LISBON, MARCH 1.

The Gazelle contains a Decree, which states, that it
appears, from official report's, that the quantity of corn
in the magazines, and what may be expected from the
provrricesof the kingdom, is not sudicient for the con-.
sumption of the capital till the next harvest. His Ma-
jesty considering that an unliniited importation of grain
may prove very detrimental to the national agriculture,.
has resolved to allow the importation of 12,000 moios
only for consumption. The Inspector of the Public
anary is, however, to compare weekly the,quantity
in hand with the consumption, and report the same to
the King, that his Majesty may, if necessary, increase
the quantity allowed to be imported. •

MA mit 2.--,The Gazette contains a very long extract
(six pages) from No. 79 of the Bahia• Gazette called the
Independent. 46 Whieh," says the Editors 64 will serve
to chew to our Readers the disposition of the parricide
faction which promotes in Brazil the system of anal--
chy."--,From this document it appears, that on the re-
ceipt of the news of the dissolution of the Asseiably.at
Rio, a meeting of the Clergy, Nobility, and Citizens was
called to consider of -means of preserving the tranquil-
lity of the City and Province. The result was, that
after expressing their sorrow at the dissolution of the
Assembly, and their hope that the Emperor would still,
in conformity with his oath, establish a Constitutional
Government, they resolved, among other precautions,
to .banish from Brazil—,

'l. All the Portuguese prisoners of war sent by the
Marquis of 'Maranham. •
2. Some unmarried Portuguese, and some Brazilians
who fought in favour of the Portuguese, or served their
cause in other ways; in this class are included some
brethren of ♦arious religious orders.
3. Some married Portuguese who have no children,
Fit being certain that if they are allowed to remain, the
public disorders will continue, though much regret is
expressed at the hard necessity of separat irsg them from
their wives. For the same reason, those Portuguese sol-
diers shall be sent from the province, who, being in its
service, joined the enemy; and some Brazilian Officers,
and some married Portuguese who have children, and
who joined the enemy, shall be dismissedfrom the service•
The lists are annexed.
The Gazette of the sth March contains a long Petition
stated to have been printed first at Rio de Janeiro, and,
subsequently at Bahia, addressed by the Brazilian La-
dies to the Emperor, in which they remonstrate against
the injustice of the distinction set up between the Eu-
ropeans, Portuguese, and the natives of Brazil.

We hav-e received since our last the Paris Papers of
Friday and Saturday. From Spain, the only news of
importance is the announcement of a Royal Decree, re-1
storing to the kingdom of Navarre its ancient privilCge
of meeting is annual Cones. The Etoile contains the
following intelligence from St. Domingo. The warlikel
tone of President Dorza's speech has refeience, we pre-
sume, to the report that France entertains some designs
of recovering that island:
PORT-AU-PMNCE, JANUARY it.
The 21st year of the Independence of this Island was
celebrated on the Ist of this montb. General surprise
was excite' by the hostile tone adopted by the President
in his speech on the occa.ion—
