PERU.


‘

An express from Liverpool. bringing advices from,
Peru, dissipates the doubts which had been entertained'
by some respecting the correctness of the dispatches
received last week by way of Carthagena. Letters
have been received from Lima, by this conveyance, to
the 21th December, which fully confirm the A uthentl.
city and correctness of the dispatches from Senor Heres
to General Sonblette. The following important details,
connected With the depisive events in -Peru, have been
transmitted by this express. We can vouch for their
correctness, as they are- founded on oOcialdocuments.
The battle took place at Guamanguilla, which is within
three leagues of Guatnanga. General La Sucre corn-
!winded the Patriot troops, Bolivar having gone to
Um.' to meet the relifoi cements from Panama, and
having conceived that the campaign for the time was
• finished, the Royalist troops having been driven- across
the Apurimac. General La Serna, however, intending
• to make a rapid movement upon Lima, left Cusco, and
recrossed the Apurimac, with a force of from six to
seven thousand men. Upon this movement, General
Sucre detacl ed General Lanrar to occupy Cusco with a
body of traops. General Sucre being thus left with the,
Colombian forces, amounting only to 6000 men, the
Viceroy conceived it a favourable opportunity to make
an attack on him, which he put in execution at Gua-
manguilla. He was wounded early in the action, and
taken prisoner. The greater part of his -wing of the
army was either killed or wounded. Very soon after-
wards General Valdez was taken prisoner, with the
troops under his immediate command. After these re-
verses, General Canterac rallied his division of the army,
and gained a height about half a league from the scene
of action. On the dawn of the day After which the
battle was fought, General Canterac seeing the total
defeat which the army had experienced, and that
all the Chiefs and Officers of distinction had fallen or
had been taken prisoners, capitulated, with 2,500 men;
and stipulated the immediate delivery of the castles of
Callao, and the total evacuation of Peru by all the
Spanish subjects.
Accounts from Pisco, of the 19th December, state,
that at the date of the last accounts, all the Royalist
Chiefs were prisoners in the Custom-house of Gua-
tnanga. Guamanga, or Huarnanga, near which the
fate of Peru was decided, is the capital of the pro-
vince of the same name, and is about 200 miles in a
straight line west of Cusco, and as far east and north-
east of Canete and Pisco, the nearest sea-ports, respec-
tively. It seems not imi r.thable, from the details, that
the sailing of the. Asia, and other Spanish ships, from
Callao for some of the ports south of Lima, was con-
nected with this movement of La Serna, which termi-
nated so fatally to the Spanish army.
DEATH OF MR. ROWCROFT.

The following details of the unfortunate death of
Mr. Rowcroft, British Consul in Pern, are commu-
n'c rted by the Gentleman who received the intel-
ligence by express from Lima, contained in • letters
from that capital of the 21st of December:—" Mr.
Rowcroft was proceeding from Callao to Lima on the
11th December, and was unfortunately shot by. the
advanced guard of General Bolivar's army. The
Royalists, at the time of this distressing event, occu-
pied Callao, and the Patriot forces the capital of
Lima. The advanced posts of the garrison of Cal-
lao, with two pieces of artillery, were very near
to the advanced posts of General Bolivar. Mr.
Rowcroft having to cross from the tine advanced
post to the other, was hailed by the Patriot troops.
—lnstead of answering the signal and stopping his
carriage, Mr. Rowcroft got on horseback,• and, with
his servant, continued to proceed forwards. The sen-
tinel again hailed, but received no answer, and con-
ceiving, from the noise made by the trampling of the
horses' feet, and the ratting of the wheels of the car-
riage, that the enemy, with two pieces of artillery
was advancing, fired two shots, and unfortunately one
of them struck Mr. Rowcroft, which' occasioned his
death. Miss Rowcroft, the daughter of Mr; Row-
croft, was in the carriage, and returned to Callao with
Mr. Rowcroft, where he expired the next morning.
—lt is stated that all the authorities, Spaniards,
Patriots, and English, evinced the utmost concern for
this unfortunate event, which appears to have been
purely accidental. General Bolivar, in particular, ap-
pear. to h.rve shewn an unusual degree of sympathy,
and called himself upon Miss Rowcroft, to condole
with her upon this unhappy event."—The letters also
state (and attribute in some measure this accident to
the circumstance) that Mr. Rowcroft was in the habit
of riding in a military dress with a sword, by .which
he was taken for an Officer of the. Royalists. Mr.
.Rowcroft': remains were to be deposited at Lorenzo,but
it was intended, when the new English Church was
built, that the body should be removed thither.
