The Gazette of the 18th, contains a Decree to the fol-
lowing effect :
" i, the King, hereby make known, that having, by
an Alvara of 9:11 May, 1781, a Pottaria of 13th Febru-
ary, 1812, and an Alvara of 9th March of this year,
granted to the Royal Printing Office exclusive privi-
leges for the printing of the
.several documents therein
specified ; and it having come to my knowledge, that
the Royal Printing Office is deprived of some of the
said privileges, in consequence of orders emanating ft om
the so-called Cortes, to the great injury of that establish-
ment, ss hich, for its importance, deserves to be supported
and maintained ; I think fit to confirm, and confirm
accordingly, the exclusive privilege for printing the Ro-
man Missal, Breviary' and other religious books; also
the tables and printed accounts, &c. for the use of the
army, and the civil officers relative to it ; and likeA ise
for the printing and exclusive sale of all the laws and
collections of the same; observing that this exclusion
does not extend to the lithographic-office, which cannot
be considered as a printing-office."

Commercial letters from Lima, of the Slst of August,
represent the victory of BoLIyAR Over CANTARAC, on
the plains of Junin, as having thrown the Spaniard 3
into great dismay. It will be recollected, that it was
the cavalry of CANTARAC which alone was engaged, and
which suffered very severely on that occasion. The
Spaniards, it appears, had placed their chief reliance on
that description of force, and felt, therefore, the greatest
consternation and alarm on learning their inability to
contend with the Colombian troops of the same class.
The latest accounts received at Lima from the army,
stated that a genes al disper.ion of the Spanish force
had taken place, and that BOLIVAR had full possession
of the valley of Jauja, one of the richest and most fertile
provinces of Peru. CANTARAC'S head-quarters were
supposed to be at Huancavelica ; and LA SERNA, the
Viceroy, was believed to be on his march to join him,
but unable to make any material addition to his nume-
rical strength. BOLIVAR'S army was in a high state of
spirits, and in the best order and discipline. It
amounted to 15,000 men, to which aleinforcement of
.5,000 more was daily expected to arrive from Panama.
ARENALES, the Buenos Ayres General, was at Salta,
on the borders of Upper Peru, into which province he
was prepared to march. Admiral Gum, with the
Peruvian squadron, had resumed the blockade of Cal-
lao. The following proclamation was made public in
Callao by General RoDIL, the commander of that
fortress, on the occasion of the battle of Junin

" Innaarroors or Lisa !—lnseparable from the language of
truth which distinguishes the legitimate Government of Peru, lam
going to speak to you with the sincerity which my post and my
character require.
" Our army of the north has made a reconnoissance of the enemy,
and on the 6th inst. there was a partial conflict of cavalry in the Pam-
pas de Reyes, by the result of which nothing more was decided than
the proposed object. I am anxious, moreover, in order to remove from
your minds every melancholy idea, and to render you proof against
the fabrications of the enemy,to inform you that the General.in-Chief,
Don Jose Cantarac, retained to the positions which he had-oeco-
pied the day before, and where he expects the Viceroy and lizo
jor.General Valdez, if they have not already joined him. They_
set out on the sth inst . from the capital of Cuzco: In conse-
quence of this information, in the name of his Excellency the
Viceroy, I recommend to, you, and exact from you, the courage
and conduct becoming your situation, which, if it corresponds
with your duty, will be duly estimated by his Excellency and the
Chiefs under his command, who are pledged to support your vir-
tues and your honour ; but if, unfortunately, such is not the case,
you will answer for yourselves.
" Receive this explanation with the indulgence which k de-
serves, and believe that nobody desires more your good than he
who now addresses you.

Letters have been received from Madrid, of the 15th
inst. at which time the capital was tranquil;—the tran-
quillity is, however, that of apathy rather than content•
ment. Some sensation had been excited in Madrid by
the arrest and imprisonment of an Ex-Political Chief,
SAN MARTIN, who had been for some time living in an
obscure Spanish village, upon a positive pledge of
safety from the .Government. The Madrid Gazette
contains a decree ordering the different Munici-
palities to use the funds which they may have in hand,
from whatever sources, for the equipment of tro,ps.
Many of the Regidors had arrived in Madrid to ration-
, smite against this decree, and amongst them the
