glorious news of the capture of Lima by General San
Martin. The official accounts are not yet arrived, in
consequence of a heavy fall of snow in the Andes,
just after the express had passed.
" The capture of Lima by force of arms being an-
nounced, may create some alarm to parties interested
in that city: it ought, however, _to be observed, that
Lima is not a fortress likely to be taken by assault;
but that it is much more probable that the obstinacy
of the Spanish Authorities forced General San Mar-
tin to approach Lima, when a last attempt would be
made by the troops remaining under the banners of
the Viceroy to repel the Chilian this having
failed, the latter would march into the city without
resistance, and without a previous capitulation. It is,
however, to be hoped' that strict discipline was ob-
served, as the great mass of the population of Lirna
would receive the Chilians as friends and liberators;
and as it always had been the object of the Govern-
ment of Chili, and of General San Martin, to pre-
serve Lima from a violent transition to indepen-
dence, and from the commotions attendant on a tem-
porary suspension of law and police, in a town in
which the lower classes are dreaded by the wealthy."

" BUENOS AYRES, SEPTEMBER 4.
" On the 2d instant we received the important in-
telligence of the capture of Lima by the forces of
General San Martin, by a letter from Santiago de
Chili, dated 13th August; and although the details
have not yet arrived, still no doubt is entertained of
the fact, from the previous well-known distressed
state they were in from want of provisions, the divi-
sions that existed, and from San Martin having re•
fused to prolong the armistice. The official details
are hourly expected. The Mary will sail for Liver-
pool in the course of the week, and by that time we
probably shall have the fullest infi.rmation."
The following extract from a Buenos Ayres Gazette
of the 29th of August, conveys sonic interesting de-
tails of the previous state of Lima, which acquire ad-
ditional value, in the absence of the official account,
from the increased probability they give to its actual
surrender. In a question iti6olving commercial in-
terests of such high importance, too much caution
cannot be exercised in forming a correct judgment
of the real situation of affairs:
" SANTIAGO DE CHILI, JULY 17.
" In consequence of the arrival of the English f 1 i-
gate commanded by Captain Spencer, at Valparaiso,
we learn, by an extraordinary courier, who arrived
here on the 15th, at seven at night, the following
.news, which is confirmed,by the papers published at
Lima, and by private letters, viz.
" That, by virtue of the Armistice concluded between the
Viceroy (Lacerna) and General San Martin, prolonged for nine
days more, the former proposes to the latter, that all the towns
which are now in the power of the army of Chili shall remain
under the command of General San Martin; that Lima shall
continue in its present situation, without any change in its Go-
vernment ; that both parties shall name their respective Deputies,
who shall proceed to Spain to obtain the ratification of indepen-
dence, for which purpose there shall he an amnesty for the space
of eighteen months, reckoning from the date of its conclusion—
the fortress of Callao, of which San Martin's forces have ob-
tained possession, remaining a pledge until the return of the said
Deputies; trade and communications to be in the meantime free.
That San Martin, who did not agree to these propositions, de.
mended the surrender of the capital, upon which being done, he
would allow a free communication, and wait for the determina-
tion of the Deputies who were to go to Spain; that during the
time of the negotiations, San Martin had permitted the neces-
sary provisions to enter Lima; that his troops were advancing,
from some points which they occupied, upon the capital, with
the design of besieging it more closely.
" The public papers of Lima which I have seen in the house
of Colonel Pereira, contain a representation from the Secular
I Chapter to the Viceroy, describing the evils with which the
capital is threatened by the destructive war carrying on. It
dwells on the devastation of the country to the extent of twenty-
five leagues in circumference; the division of public opinion; the
discontent of the natives in consequence of the scarcity of provi-
sions; and the necessity of coming to an understanding with the
besieging force, by which alone his Excellency could preserve
his authority. The result of this representation is not known.—
There is also in these papers a letter, signed by a Military ()S-
-eer, pointing out to Laceina the resources of which he might
avail himself, and stating plans of defence. The writer calls
loudly for the combat, and instigates to a vigorous resistance.—
What may have been done in consequence of this energetic ex-
position is nut yet known.
" According to the letter of Guido, which I have seen, written
on board the frigate Cleopatra, in Callao, where the deputies of
both parties are assembled, L K. says, that they would resort
again to arms, but that Lima must surrender in cons.quence of
the division among the Authorities, the discontent of the natives,
the forces with which it is surrounded, and its being deprived
of all support. 1. Q. E. who also writes from Callao to the
English Commander, states, that Lucerne had assured him, in
the vessel in which he then was, that in consequence of the di-
visions in Lima, and the want of aid, no other resource was left,
but that of making. an arrangement beneficial to both the con-
tending parties. The Captain of the Fa4lish frigate arrived at
Valparaiso further adds, that the longest period which Lima
can hold out is one month, or at most two, for the people pro-
claim their dissatisfaction, the Military Chiefs are divided, and
the troops of Lima are daily deserting to the invading army."
