ST. PETERSBURGH AND DUTCH PAPERS.

• ST. PETERSBURGH, Nov. 4.
The Jottroal de St. Petersburgh of this date 'contaias
a very long list of nominations and promotions in the
arty.
An Eztraordinary Supplement gives the following
bulletin of the army of the Caucasus : •
"Gen. Plakewitscb gives an account to his Majesty
the Emperor of the occupation of the whole of Bajizet
by our troops, who made themselves masters of the
fortresses of Bajizet and Topak Kale, as well as,of the
intrenchments of Diadine. Desitinq to profit by the
immense supplies of corn in the Pachalik of B tjazet,
General Paskewitsch gave orders to Major G-neral
Prince Tchetchevadze to occupy it with a detachment
of iptantry and cavalry, and six ikces of cannon. On
the 6th of
_September, this detachment commenced its
march towards B .jaser, from the village of Atikhady,
situate at the foot of Mount Ararat, and on the Bth of

September arrived before Bajazet, after having crossed
a Chain of lofty mountains, which separate the Pachalik
from the province of Divan.
" 'The enemy's cavalry. which had sallied nut of the,
fortress, to the number of
.1.500 men, met Major Gen.',
Prinee Tchetcheiadze near the fortified village of Zan-I
guezor,lut, thanks to the-well-directed fire of our artil-
lery,patt of this cavalry was overthrown and driven
back into the loafers, while the remainder, intercepted
by our cavalty, dispersed and lied into the mountains.
On the 9:h Befoul Pacha, Governor of Bajazet, entered
into a negociation for the surrender of the 'place. Prince
Tchttchevadze had consented to grant him a delay of
12 hours for this purpose. but having learils,ata the
fortress expected from E zeteum a considMble re-in-
forcement and 2,000 Kus dish cavalry, to dicta two can-
panics of infantry to occupy the height, to the unlit of.
the place. in order to cut off from it allftupplies of
water. • Notwithstanding the well-supported fire of the
enemy's artillery, out brave twerps executed the order
which they had received, alter having overthrown the
enemy's cavalry which had been sent against them from
the fortress. At that moment a considerable body of
Kurds appeared on the summits of the mountains to
the south ; but perceiving the success which had at.;
tended the movement of our detachment, it immediately
retired, and the garrison of Bajazer, fearing that• it'
would lose all possibility of effecting its mime, left the
place and took Right. At one o'cl. ck in the ithet.llooll
Our troops user 'pied the place withrlut resistance. 11.1
sides a large stock of provisions 'and forage which they
found there, 12 cannon, three standards.-ISO ponds of
powder, and the Pacha's two tails, telt iwo the hands
of our troops. We had, on this occasion, only two men
killed, and seven Armenians and Tartan wounded.--'•
The loss of the enemy am urns' to 50 killed, besides pli•
soners, among whom is Beloul Pacha. Major General
Prince Tclietchevadze remained at Bajazet till the 27th
of September, to organize meosures.for the supply of
the troops, by means of the provisions which he had
taken. Orr the 20th and 21st, he occupied the intrench-
ments of Diaii4e, situated on the road to Eizereum,
a, the distance of sil leagues from Bailee', and the for-
•ress of Topak Kale, the chief place of the Sansijak of
Al.schkerd, dependant upon Bajazet. On t 4 „ion
we had only tsto Cossacks wounded. tie ••' 're-
sides the killed, )oat 120 prisoners, and N.• •Of
burden. ,
" In them last affairs we had foe one sakiliarlea ;et
only the Armenians in the environs of Bia)azer, who bad
spontaneously taken arms, but also: Hassan Aga. of
Gossine, elder of the Kurds, who hicitrithe to prevent
himself to Prince Tchetchevadzeo:si:h 100 of hii cotts-
trymen, to solicit permission to return to their homes-.
a circumstance which must be attributed to the mode-
ration and prirdent conduct (T our troops towards the
inhabitants of the conquered provinces.
" The Kurds, also, tendered us a great service. On
the same day, when news was received that Naghi Khan
Kat apakh had given up to pillage the Armenian village•
of Tchilvane, at the distance of 15 wersris from Topak
Kale, they joined the party of Cossacks which was seat
against him. overtook Nagbi Khan, and recovered all
the cattle, about 500 head, which he had seized. On this'
occasion, they had two men killed and two wounded, bit
the enemy experienced much greater lost.
" consequence of the occupation of Topak Kale
and the dispersion of this troop of pattisans, the whole
Pachalik of Bajazet is now freed from the enemy, and
the Russian standard is displayed at the sources of the
Euphrates."
AMSTERDAM, Nov. IL
We learn that his Majesty has appointed a Com-
mittee, consisting of eight members of various chant •
ben it commerce and manufactures, to-examine a plan
of finance and titration presented by Mr. Peter Vreede.
The Minister for the Colonies has given the necessary
orders that the existing laws for preventing contagious
'diseases being communicated by ships arriving from
places irfeetedohall be duly enforced.
NUREMBURO, Nov. 13.
An article from Berlin, in our Correspondent, the
striker of which is evidently well disposed 'towards
'Russia, expresses the opinion Sat the campaign is quits
over for this year.
"A great Russian piny," says the writer, w cam*
be maintained during the winter in the countries at die
mouths of the Danube. A look, at the map shows that
Allottavia, Wallachia, and even Bulgaria, with the ma-
ritime district Dobrudscha, are two Tallies, formed by
-allavion, Confined between Chains of mountains. The
ifels clayey...and marshy, and impaisable after long
eoutintled

The writer speaks in high terms of Gen. Paskowitsch,
whom he describes as a soldier inured to bartishirl an

experienced General, and a man of taste and learning,
and admirably qualified to promote in that part of the
w.irld the interests of Russia, which seem destined to
enlighten and civilize Asia. 04 Peihaps," says the letter,
" the happy opportunity may occur in the conclusion
of the next tiesty f peace fir Russia to extend its fron-
tiers from Mount Ararat to E. certain, along tbe moon-
tains, and thence to Trihisnnd." The tether calls t►.e
system of the balance of poweciyi Europe an unchris-
tian system, which is already dead, and rem sins only
as an inefficient shadow cf the system of old Count
He►tzberg.

BOUM AMERICA, •

'The American Paperi have brought tome intelligence
from South America, and there are some late le,ters
from Peru ; but the notices from both these sources of
intelligence leave us in uncertainty as tb the relations
of the Peruvian Government with the neighbouring
Republic,. The alleged causes, it will be remembered,
of the Proclamation of Bolivar (which skes nut sp•
pear to have been acted cpUn) threatening Peru with
invasion, were attempts by the. Peruvian Government
to excite mutiny in the Columbian troops in -Bolivia
(el do vant Upper Peru), which is in close 'alliance
with Colonihi 1, and an actual invasion of the Boli-
vian territory by Peruvian trnoV. The listtOr accuses
tion, at least, seems to be tine; mid the outrage
was aggravdted by fraudulent pretences. A mutiny
trsok place among the Colimihian 'troops in B blot in
April last. in which Sucre, the Preisfent (in reruns of
Whom B 'Haar resigned long ago his authority in that
country). was wounded and taketiliiioner by the'inu-
dimes t. Flewas rescued, and theta's/I:6y was.airyprei ed
by the people; but his armada tielug3evreteActeiktisd
his a' thority, and appointed, is listints enspOwered: by
the Comtitution to do, a Gen. Urdinesiea bis sirs eelsor.
Upon the first intelligence &I'm transaCtions ir. 11 -livid,
IGamatra4 the Peruvian General in tte neighbouring
district, entered the BoliviaMterti;ory•v ith a consider-
able force. The pretence under which t!•is irmasion'svas
:effected was, it appears, first to liberate Bolivia fs om the
Citlonibiatitionits, and wh'_.n the Colimihi in mutineers
were found to have been supper* ed, then ot
'he Colombians. A letter buss. Lima, of the 6th of
June. says,

14 On the side of Bolivia it would appear, although
we have no distinct accounts, that Gener..l Gamma,
havii'g penetrated with his army as far as the viciis:ty rf
La Pa, uneer the ilea that :lucre was a prisoner, and
that, to seem* the liberation of Bolivia from the Colcm.
biers yoke, the presence of his troops u as only necessary,
finding the 1 gran mariscal' at liberty, tlinugh wounded.
and at the head of a cons;derable force, is again retreat.
ing, having published a P. oclamation stating his design
in *nulling the Bolivian territory only to have been to
,protect.the life of Sucre and the Colombians, in cast the
sevolutitm had succeeded."
The latest intelligence from B ,livia receised in this
,cnuntly thrones the Peruvian Papers is of the 3d of
June: Gamin.* was then in Oruro; no action had
'taken place, and a sort of treaty for an accommodation
was in progress between him and General Urthr,e.:ea.
Probably some later intelligence averred in Bogota
may have contributed to the suspention or abandon-
ment of Bolivar's plans. A New Yoik Paper of 0ct.22,
giving the substance of the intellig::nce contained in the
latest Bogota Papers, says
" Since we have been .furnished by these papers with
chore particulars relating to the distusbances fn Bolivia,
of May List, and find macre .son to believe that the Go.
veinment of Pet u authorised the invasion of .that country
by Gen. Gamarra, PrOclamation of War ap-
pears wi:h a palliation (though still highly unjustifiable),
which we were not befot eaware ot.Wefeared that Bolivar
was about to make the first aggression, and that his as-
signed reasons were unfounded. An egg ressi on bad, howl.
ever, previously been made by a Peruvian 'Officer against
Bolivia, and that without good reason ;and, we believe,
without a good intention. Gen. Gamarra, on cresinl the
boundary of that country, declared that he came for
two objects-rto deliver the President, Uenerli
from constraint and the fear of assassination, and to
rel.eee the people from those who threatened anarchy.
Sucre, being ill of a wound, resigned the goverament
into their hands, with arrangements. for an active de-
fence, and then wrote Gamarra a letter, which presents
a singular triistureof firmness against his Mips, and
(Outdo/tip fa. biota He rejects the proposstiln of
submitting the country to a foreign force, declaim that
,his tenons for the invasidn are unfounded, rote,te

dares his determination to retire from public life, to
spend his days at Quito; We C:rnAnt speak in too
terms of his deci•ion on the former Roint. The priii.ple
of interferenee is perhaps by him prevented.
• 14 According to our latest account., the Bolivians had
delivered their soil from the Peruvian' troops; 4d We
presume Bove has put his design into execution. If
• .80livar feels one half the ppposittcm Itom.the principle
of armed inteifetence which Sucre has professed, Peru
is safe against him."
All the accounts put the conduct of the Government
of Peru, both for weakness and dishonesty in these
transactions, in a .very unfavourable light; and an
Englishman, writing from Lima, states that at the time
they were provoking Bolivar by their dishonesty, they
%sere rather considering how they should shift for them-
selves, than how they should resist in case he should
at last attack them.
