LIMA PAPERS.

" Bouvtass !—Being honoured with your confidence, it is my
duty to satisfy it. The late events in Peru are favourable to all
America, and especially :to your interests. I hasten to annum=
to you their character, for I am bound to give you an account of
Whatever relates to your destinies. You behold with abhorrence
the hatred which prevails between two sister Republics. You
cannot refit', the tribute of your tears to the sepulchres of Tarqui.
The blood which has been shed by the hand of discord has caused
to'as no less consternation than the dfections of nature, which were
violated, as'well as the principles of international law. You feared,
and with reason, that you would be yourselves affected by its

deadly impulse.
" !—The sweet name of peace has been invoked in the
changes that have taken place in Peru. A generous Peruvian has
checked the fatal destiny which so rapidly brought the soil of the
Incas to its ruin. A beneficent Government has succeeded that
which was the scandal of all the world, and alarmed the three Re-
publics. You have nothing to fear from your neighbours. Your
homes—your laws—your sacred independence—will be respected;
and a fresh invasion will no longer disturb your repose. The
motives of so much distrust bare disappeared; and a candid
friendship will be restored between the two Republics. Peru,
under its new aspect, is our friend ; and, for the interests which its
happy fate deserves, it will find us ever ready to tendei it a fra-
ternal band.
" Bolivians !—I congratulate you on account of the concord
which, like Aurora, sheds it rays around all parts.
(Signed) " ANDRES SANTA CRUZ.

The following is t e passageroul the Times, to which
want of space prevented us from replying yesterday :
" With respect to the recognition of this person,—Don
M to UEL ,—we hold the same opinion as ever in this and
all similar instances. We have nothing to do with the
internal government of Portugal. If the Portuguese
choose to keep him, and the emigrants and discontented
within the realm cannot eject him, it is not our business :
we have only to take care that he be not imposed or re-
tained by foreign force. But we have also to take care
that, as sovereign, he do us no wrong."
To the above doctrine of our contemporary, we shall
oppose a few simple facts, and leave it to the impartial to
determine how far it ought to influence the decision of
any government possessing the smallest regard to justice
and public principle. . .
We repeat,. then, that the% Usurper of Portugal
having atsitlded, power through an act df treas 4 and
perjury,which induced the whole of the European Cabinets
to cut off all intercoarea with him, and having followed
up his first unpardonable offence by a series of crimes,
which have led to the murder of .mady innocent victims,.
and the persecution and proscription of all that was virtuous
or patriotic fitithe nation, his recognition by any of these
Powers will—to all intents and purposes—constitute them
accessories to the Despot. This being our own unal-
terable opinion, founded as it is, 00 the most
obvious principles of political morality, we shall pass
over the inevitable retro-active effect of a. measure which
would strike at the very root of legitimacy, and proceed
at once to those other points on which the Times founds
its • doctrine of noi-interference. After laying, that
"we have noebieg to do with the internafOovernment
of Portugal," our contemporary thus concludes : " But
we have also to take care that, as Sovereign, he do us no
•
wow.' To these assertions, we reply : that
the " wrong " has ki sten done in a great variety
of instances, and Slit therefore, both the law
of nations, and the obligations of protecting Bri-
