AMERICAN MONITEUR, JUNE 8.

By the frigate Vittoria, which has lately arrived at
Valparaiso, and which left Lima on the 6th April,
we haVe the following intelligence :
I, The object of American detestation, Goyeneche,
wrote from Oruro to the Viceroy, renewing the resig-
nation of his command of the army which had been
so often defeated under his orders; :tad to determine
on this difficult affair, a Military Council was held
at Lima, which was attended by officers of all ranks,
and at length it was deter.mined that the Minister of
Arequipa should retire, and that either Abascul or
Hinostrosa should be appointed in his room. The
nomination was made in the sevel of the latter, and
it was ordered that Goyeneche should give up the
authority to D. Juan Ramiry, until the new General
should arrive.

66 In Lima, it is reported, that the defeat of the
impious Tristan is one of the intrigues of Goyeneche,
and they expect him in Lima, to give him the re-
ward of his actions deserved by_ all those unnatural
children who have been the scourge of the tenderest
of mothers. Americans, see the punishment of trai-
tors and infidels l" ,

OFFICIAL DISPATCH.
" Talcahuano, June 8.

IS Most Excellent Sir—Yesterday came in sight
the frigate St. Domingo de Guzman, the prize of D.
Xavier Mandano. At night the Commander of this
port informed me, that he learnt frorA an officer and
four seamen who landed at Cumulus, that there were
on board 38 officers and 100,000 dollars, for the ar-
my of General Parseja. That instant I mounted on
horseback, and took the necessary measures that she
should not quit the place of her anclvirage.
44 Tho gun-boats and other craft were ordeied out
for this purpose; and this morning, at day-light, the
surrender was announced to me.
" There have already landed from the ship thirty-
two officers, among whom is a Minister of the Ma-
rine, and 50,000 dollars, with p quantity of tobacco,
have seen brought on shore. The frigate will enter
the port in about two hours, and then I shall attend
to every circumstance that can contribute to the re-
ward of the American Marine, which on so many
occasions has performed most essential service to the
country. The papers were thrown overboard, nnd
we shall endeavour to recover them.
" We are now expecting the frigate Caynica,
which is to bring from Va:ctivia 24,000 dollars and
500 muskets. As soon as I can secure-these prizes
and the port, I shall hasten to Chillan to conclude our
fortunate campaign.

" By the intercepted letters, I fins that these are
all the reinforcements expected by the Itopli4t Ge-
neral, and now he has neither a man'tipr a rial to
hope 'or; but while they are Lirnenting their misery
and the disasters of Qoyeneche, they are ordering a
tncdel tit be prepared of a pyram.d, to be r.tised to
the honour of their king, and the glory of his arm;.
GOD ?reserve your Excellency. •• (Signed)

lIKANCII PAPERS.
• . PAW, SEPTEMIIIit 27.
Her Malastrdie Empress Queen and 1 _
received the following intelligence from the'
dated September 12s
Oa the 17th, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the
Emperor mounted on horseback, and in place of
going to Erna, proceeded to the advanced posts.—
Having perceived the enemy had prepared a great
quantity of fascines (olobates) to defend the descent
from the mountain, his Majesty ordered him to be
attacked by General. Duvernet, who with the 42d
division seized upon the village of Arbesau, and
drove the enemy into the plain of Toplits. He was
charged with manoeuvring in such a manner, and. to
thoroughly reconnoitre the enemy's position, and
oblige him to unmask his forces. This General per-
fectly succeeded in executing his instructions. He
engaged in a brisk cannonade, without cannon shot,
and which did little injury ; but an Austrian bat-
tery of tnenty-four pieces .having left its position, to
approach Duvernet's division, General Ornans or-
dered it to be charged by the red lancers of the
guard; they took those twenty-four pieces, and sabred
all the artillerymen, but were only able to bring off
the horses, two pieces of cannon, and an advanced
train (avant !rah!).
- On the 18th, Count de Lobau remained in the
same position, occupying the village of Arbesau, and
all the debouches from the plain.

At four o'clock in the afternoon the enemy sent a
division to surprize the height above thavillage of
Keinetz. This division was repulsed Peple dare let
reins, and fired at with grape-shot during an hour.
On the 18th, at nine in the evening, his Majesty
arrived at Pirna ; and on the 19th Count de Lobau
again resumed his positions before Hollendorff and
the camp of Giesherbel.

The rain fell in torrents. -
The Prince of Neufchatel is a little indisposed, by
an access of fever.
His Majesty is very well.
Marshal the Duke of Valmy has received at May.
ence a courier from Dresden, charging him to make
known at Paris, that up to the 19th September, no-
thing new had occurred at the army, and that it

was possible same time might elapse before a courier
was expedited ; so that they might not be astonish-
ed, if they were some days without receiving intel-
ligence.

Letters from Bayonne, dated the 22d instant, say,
that there daily arrive in that town ten or fifteen
English or Portuguese deserters.

LAYBACH, SEVIEMBER 15.

The enemy had marched upon Fiume and threaten-
ed Trieste. He at the same time presented himself
by the routes of Neustadt and Cilli.
The taking the entrenchments of Seistriz and La-
bel. allowed his Highness the Viceroy to march on
the 10th to Laybach,•from whence he directed Ge-
neral Pino with some brigades upon Adelsbug. This
movement at the same time threatened Trieste and
Fiume, and the enemy did not hesitate retiring from
the neighbourhood of Trieste to cover Fiume, by
concentrating himself upon Lippa, in an entrenched
posit on.
On the 12th September, the Viceroy pushed for-
ward a strong reconnoissance to St. Marien, upon the
road from Neustadt to Karlstadt ; the enemy was
found in a position that commanded a marshy plain,
which could only be crossed by a causeway • moun- .
gins covered with weoJ, of a considerable extent,
supported his flanks._ His Highness took a position,
and after having reconnoitered the ground, on the
IStli, ordered some movements, which had for ob.
ject the turning of the enemy's position.
Scarcely had his Highness returned to Layhach,
when he dispatched General Pinb orders to carry the
position of Lippa. This General, on the 14th, exe-
cuted this order with much intrepidity. The enemy
had, on this occasion, 300 men killed or wounded.
About 100 prisoners, and one piece of cannon, were
taken from him. The Archduke Maximilian was
present in this affair. General Nugent commanded
the Austrian troops.
On the 14th, the Viceroy went to St. Marien, to
attack the enemy, who perceiving the movements
taking place upon his flanks, abandoned the position
he occupied, and that of Weichselbourg, two leagues
further, and retired without wishing to fight. He
;lost ten officers, and forty men, who were made pri.
sonars. lie had about 180 men killed or wounded
by the fire of the Tirailleurs.
i The position which the Viceroy took at the conclu-
sion of this affair, was about three leagues beyond
I Weichselbourg.
1 SEPT. 17.—His Serene Highness the Prince Vice.
roy having left some battalions on the position of
1 Weichselbourg, withdrew the other troops from it,
for the operations he meditated. The enemy seized
that moment to attack in force the troops which were
in Weichselbourg ; they shewed a good countenance
during several hours; they came in contact with the
bayonet, and the grenadier company of the 67th re-
giment overthrew every thing opposed to it. Never-
theless it was requisite to cede to a force very superior
in infantry, supported by cavalry, as well as by the
favour of the woods and mountains; the enemy had
.directed some columns in the rear of those troops.
A retreat was ordered and effected with order to
Saint, two leagues in the rear of Weichselbourg.—
The enemy m.sde about 100 prisoners, after having
killed us some 60 men. He alsa lost many men, and
we have made 40 prisoners.
On ti,e side of ',Aria, General Pint', after having
on the 13th carried the position of Lippi, on the 14th
'lurched a column upon Fiume, where our troops
entered a few moments after the division under the
orders of General Nugent had, in the greatest disor-
der, left it. On that day we took two pieces of can-
non, and nearly 300 prisoners.
'I KIESTF., SEP I EMBER 15.
We hasten to puhlish the following extracts from
the Moniteur. They give an Official contradiction to

•

lies in the ifruoo Gaza*. The
'that paper -rep:lnched the inhabitants of
Illy at spewing in these circumstances -Fre
sentiments.—This reproach is very strange. Agotris
bas made us French without consulting us; and she
now makes it a crime to be French

We do not comprehend this spirit of injustice and
contradiction. How dare she believe us capable of
covering ourselves with infamy ? Could our fidelity
towards Austria, when we were subjects of her, leave
any doubt of our fidelity to Franee, of which we form
a part ? The Illyrian: have constantly given proofs
of sentiments of courage, honour, and good sense;
does she wish they ihnuld now become wretched
traitors, or madmen ? Well ! at what a time do they
propose to us to renounce being Frenchmen—at the
very moment when the French armies have gathered
fresh laurels, when their. Emperor, by prodigies-al-
ways most astonishing, has vanquished—routed the
Austrian armies.
BRUNSWICK, SEPTEMBER 12.
We are assured that the Emperor of Morocco has
declared war against Sweden.

FRONTIERS OF SAXONY, SEPT. 17.
On the 12th September the Austrian bead-quar-
ters were still at Toplite.
It is said that the Emperors of Austria and Rus-
sia, and the King of PLussia, have retired to Prague.
We are assured-that the corps d'armee, commanded
by Marshal the Duke of. Castiglione, which had as-
se m bled in the neighbourhood of Wurtzbourg, has
put itself in march for Bareuth and Eva. It ap-
pears that it is to effect its junction with the grand
army in the interior of Bohemia, by taking the road
from Rakouitz to Prague.
