EXTRAC COF A LETTER, DATED GUAYAQUIL, SEPT. 9.
" You will no doubt have heard before this reaches
you, of the advantage gained by the advanced corp,
of the Patriots at Junin, on the 6th ult. Our subsequenl
accounts state, that the enemy's troops continued re-
tteating so rapidly, that it was not known whither
they had directed their march. I hope in a short rim(
to learn the fall of the Castles of Callao into the hand:
of the Independents, when, supposing that the worn-out
and scattered remnant of the Spanish army should even
oblige Boiivar to keep the campaign open for another
year, we have nothing more to apprehend. A fine Co-
lombian corvette, lately purchased by this Govel nment,
and which left us a few weeks since on her first voyagt
for Panama, with 200,000 d-llars on board in specie,
was, on the second night of her arrival in that hay,
carried off by the crew, chiefly composed of Eag,lish,
men! The.event has had the effect of producing at
impression not at all in our favour, on the minds of tit
people here. Her Commander, Captain Spry, was of
shore at the time of the seizure, and had fortunatel,
that morning, landed the whole of the money that weal
manifested in this %essel. However, the whole of tit(
p issengers' luggage, arid several thousand dollars valet
in g"ld-dust, have been carried off. This Government
is taking up all the disposable vessels that can be got,
for the purpose of conveying additional troops from
Panama for Peru."
