again taken possession, say the New York accounts, of
Lima and Callao, and was marching on with every
prospect of bringing the war to a close.
This news is said to have been brought to Baltimote
on the Ist of August, by the schooner Ardent, Captain
Bouiere, in 22 days from Porto Bello, which port he
left on the 9th of July, and therefore could easily have
obtained communications from Panama, on the other
side of the Isthmus, to the sth of that month : but his
dates from Panama, as given in the New York Papers,
extend only to the latter end of May, which are not so
Lite by three weeks as the advices received by way of
Jamaica. Supposing, however, that May is a misprint
for June, which is extremely probable, the news of
the recapture of Lima and Callao is not at variance'
with our previous information. As a confirmation ofl
the state of feeling in the Royalist army in Upper Peru,
it may be mentioned, that advice, from Buenos Ayres
had reached New York with intelligence, that on the
21st of March, La Serna, the Royalist General and ex-
Viceroy of Peru, had resigned the command of the
Royalist army, in consequence of his adhesion to abso-
lute Monarchy—a step which could only have been
rendered imperative upon him by the existence of a con-
trary sentiment in the Spanish army generally.
With respect to Mexican news, as communicated by
the New York Papers, the most important part is, that
according to letters from Alvarado of the Ist and 10th
of July, General Bravo had entered the city of Guada-
laxara without resistance, and amidst general rejoic-
ings. This intelligence is confirmed by letters from
Tampico of the 3d July, which were received at Li-
verpool, together with the Papers from New York, and
which mention further, that the famous Guerilla Chief,
Gomer, who infested the roads between Mexico and the
coast, had submitted to the Government, so that the in-
terior was considered in a more perfect state of tran-
quillity than it had been for a very long period. It is
remarkable, that these papers do not contain any
news of Iturbide, although ample time has elapsed for
that purpose.
The following are additional extracts from the United
States papers. The first, a letter from an Officer at
Callao, gives a very different version of the affairs of
Peru, but it is of old date, and is quite at variance with
accounts more worthy of credit. Had LA SENNA
30,000 men he would not remain inactive with a less
powerful enemy near him. The letter is, however, said
to excite some sensation in the City, and while jobbing
in foreign securities is a trade, any absurd story will be
said to create a sensation.
Letters from Carthagena of the 3d of July repeat the
reports of the defection of OLANILTA ; and others, from
Alvarado, of the 10th of July, corroborate the entry of
General BRAVO into Guadalaxara, where he imme-
diately issued two proclamations.

FROM THE NEW TORE GAZETTE OF THE 7TH AUGUST.

The following is an extract of a letter from an Officer
on board the United States ship Franklin, dated Callao,
May 4 :—" Bolivar is atiTruxillo, with a force of about
6,000 Colombians and 2,000 Peruvians. About the
middle of last month, the Royalist General Canurac
reviewed, at Huan:ky, 13,500 well appointed troops,
2,000 of which were cavalry. La Serna has at present
nearly 30,000 men under arms. The campaign is no*
about opening. It seems impossible that Bolivar can
oppose the force that is about to meet him, unless
some fortunate event should occur which at present I
cannot anticipate. The province of Guayaquil must
fall before six months into the hands of the Royalists.
On the side of Chili the reports are equally disastrous.
