OFFICE OF THE MINISTER OF FINANCE.

Palace of the Gcvernment in the Capital of Lima,
Dec, 13, 1825-6,
TO THE MINISTER OP STATE IN THE DEPARTMENT

OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THIS REPUBLIC.
In order that England and the other nations of
Europe may be satisfied with the honest intentions of
the Peruvian Government to provide for the fulfilment
of their engagements and contracts, it see= advisable
that through your Excellency should be forwarded to
the Ministers Plenipotentiary of this Republic to the
above Governments the last dispositions of his Excel-
lency the Liberator, ordered to be carried into execu-
tion by the Council of Government, that all the miner,
waste lands, and other property, of every description
whatever belonging to the State should be made over
entirely, or let to one or mo. e Companies with capital
sufficient for the purpose, on the condition that they
should take upon themselves the extinction of the debts
of the Government both here and abroad, at the periods
in the contracts stipulated ;"so that, by a species of
transfer, capitalists of known character and resources
place themselves in the stead of the Government, and
take upon themselves the religious and punctual dis-
charge of us engagements, which this nation is resolved
tolialfil, whatever may beetle cost or sacrifice.
In the execution of the above plan, special orders
have been seat in all directions to make a valuation of
the above property. It is immense, and its value almost
beyond calculation, particularly in consequence of the
late law, by which all' mines filled with water, or
abandoned in the year 18'21, were declared to belong
to the State. Tim waste lands are not less considerable
throughout the vast and extensive territory of the Re-

nubile ; tp which enormous amount of property, must
1)-. added tho coahscated lands, itctpf: enemies of the
inde,endence, as well as what i 1 in the possession of the
vii ection Jenerat de Censos, which is tnown to exceed
five millions of dollars. On receiving the details which
are esisected shortl!, the Government will be able to
Rive an coact account of the value of this property, and
at the same time state the bases and terms on which the
reociaion in goestion is to be conducted ; but a., in
the meantime. it is desirous that its liberal intentions
should be know,, in order that those capitalists, who
may sei,is to avail themselves of them, may proceed
loath ith to draw up their proposals, his Excellency
directs that they should be transmitted to our blinisters,
resideu, in the City of London, in order that they testify
their seal for their country, by co-operating on their
part to the happy issue of so important an object.
I bog to repeat the semimeats of consideration and esteem with
which I am, your very obedient servant,

Extract of a Letter from the Governor General in Cenneil at Fort
William, in Bengal, to the Secret Conunittee of the Court of Dl-
rectors of the East India Company, dated the 20th January W:
With sentiments of the liveliest satisfaction, we have
now the honour to announce to your Honourable Com-
mittee the arrival of the steam vessel Enterprize from
Rangoon, with the important intelligence that the pre-
liminaries of peace with the Goverament of Ava were
signed, by Commissioners on both sides, at Patnagoh,
on the 3d list. and that the treaty ratified by the King
of Ava was to be delivered to the British Commissioners
in fifteen days.
Captain Snodgrass, Military Secretary to Major Ge-
neral Sir Archibald Campbell, had sailed from Ran-
goon on the 9th instant, with the dispatches announcing
the signature of the preliminary treaty,. and may be
irspected to arrive in a few days. The ratified treaty
hot being expected to reach Rangoon until the 24th
instant, Brigadier Smelt, commanding at Rangoon,
determined not to deta;n the Enterprizt., as the time
:Admitted of her conveying to us intelligence of what had
occurred, and returning to Rangoon for the expected,
treaty. We propose, accordingly, to dispatch her to
Rangoon this day.
The accompanying copies of dispatches fiom Briga-
dier Smelt to Mr. Swinton will aff ird your Honourable
Committee all the information welt:toe received by the
E..terpriz and we beg leave to offer our cordial con-
gratulations on the recent success of the British arms
in Ava.
Copy of a Letter from Brigadier Smelt to George Swinton, Esq.
Secretary to the Bengal Government, dated &engem, Jan. 13,
1826.
Sin—l have the honour to forward to you a copy of
two letters, dated the 4th and 6th January, 1826, from
Lieutenant-Colni.el Pepper, commanding a detachment
in the Pegue district, deta:ling a gratifying account of
his operations in that quarter.
Private accounts have reached me, which I have no
reason to (touter, that an attack on the strong post e/
&toting, whicir was supposed to have been evacuated,
with a party detached by Colonel Pepper, of the 3cl
regiment L. I. under Li:Artenant-Colonel Conroy, did
not succeed, with the loss of two Officers and ten
men killed, two Officers and sixteen men wounded. 1
regret to say, that Lieutenant-Colonel Conroy, a most
able and intelligent Officer, was killed, also Lieutenant
Adams; Lien t. Harvey wounded severely, Lieut. Power
slightly. I am in exp- oration that Colonel Pepper, with
a leilitorcerrent and guns, still have taken Setoung
before he receives Sir A. Campbell's recall to Pegue, in
consequence of the treaty of peace having been agreed to.
W. SMELT, Lieutenant-Colonel,
Commanding Lower Provinces.
Extract of a Letter from Lieutenant-Colonel Pepper to Brigadier
Smelt, commanding in the Lower Provinces, dated Camp, at
Shotegeen, 4th January, 1826.
have the h :nour to report to you that this place fell
into my hands yesterday, without oppo ition; indeed 1
found it completely deserted. Our preparations were
all made for storming it, and it was not till reaching
its base that 1 had the least idea of its being aban.
cloned, as our route was oppo-ed in several instances by
parties in the jungles, who fired on our advance. It.
was plicicularly fortunate, that by taking the route of
Meckeoo, instead of the high road, I W 45 enabled, by
scolding forward the 33 light intantry, to secure tire
whole of the boats at that place, and drawing off 300
of the enemy to relieve the inhabitants, otherwise I
should have found it most difficult, if not impossible,
to have succeeded.
The resources of this province I have not been able
to ascertain, but nothing indicates them to be great.—
There is little or no rice here, nor do I yet observe a
angle bandy, or any nuii,ber of cattle. Some of the
people are returning, and I expect the whole will do so
in a few clays. Our march fur the most part was
through bad roads, particularly the nearer we ap-I
this, but the troops are in good health and
eicellent quarters.
Extract of a Letter from Lieutenant-Color:lel Pepper to Brigadier
Smelt, commanding in the Lower Provinces, dated Camp,
lhoesgeen, 6th January, 1826.
Since my letter to you of the 4th, 1 have the honour
to acquaint you that a communication has reached me
from the Officer I left in command of the detachment
at Meckeoo, stating that his post was attacked, on the
morning of the 4th instant, by a party of the enemy,
to the amount of four or five hundred men, from
Setoung ; that he was fortunate enough to beat them
off, and with little injury to his own men, one only
being wounded in the groin. The various calls I have
for the services of my men, leas forced on me the neces-
sity of directing the party I lett at Pegue to join me,
and to escort the provisions, ammunition, kc. in store
there to this place; but as there is little doubt of the
fall of Setoung, Pegue requiring but a very small detail,
a Native Officer's party I considered as sufficient, and
therefore directed Captain Kitson to leave one, as well
as the sick and convalescent men, and a native dresser'
to attend them.

A Supplement to the London Gazette was published
this morning, containing official dispatches received a:
the India House, from the Govenbron GENIMAL 01
India. They all relate to the war against the Burmese,
and would have lost much of their interest by the peace.
even had they not in general been anticipated by pre,
vious arrivals. Such of them as are at all important, or
new, will be found in a preceding column. The latest
of these dispatches is of the 20th of January, but as the
intelligence of the ratification of the Treaty was not ex-
pected at Bengal until the 24th of that month, it was
not known whether that event h td taken place or net.
The terms of this Treaty do not appear to have been
correctly stated in the previous accounts. They are
as follow :

" The cession of Assam and other states in that quarter; the four
provinces of Arracan, the provinces on the coast of Tenaserim,
Ya, Tavoy, and blergue. bioneypoor to be given to Gurnheet
Sing, and one crore of rupees to be paid. The treaty is to be rati-
fied by the King of Ava, and returned to the Commissioners at
11Ieloun, with the European prisoners who may be at urnmera-
poora, and three lace of rupees, on or before the 16th inst. Some
minor clauses regarding the good treatment of the Peguers, who
may have joined or as4isted the British during the war."
Thus honourably has terminated this arduous war ;
and so completely were the Burmese subdued, that
the terms of the treaty were dictated by the British
Commissioners.

Jamaica Papers to the 10th of April have reached
us, but they do not contain any news. One of them
states, that two spies, who were employed in distributing
pi oclamations in Cuba, had been apprehended.

It appears by the following intelligence from Jamaica,
which was this forenoon received at the North and
South Ames ican Ccsee•house, that the Spaniards are
going to make an effort to regain a footing in South
America ; but although the Cuba expedition may renew
the war for a short time, nothing can prevent the
ultimate independence of the American Continent.

COMMERCIAL Room, KINGSTON. Aran 9.

By the arrivals from St. Jago de Cuba accounts have been re.
ceived that the Spanish fleet, which recently arrived at that Port,
coosisting of a line of battle ship, five frigates, three corvettes,
and a schooner, had taken on board their provisions and water, and
it was reported were about to embark troops, so as to be in rea.
diness to sail the moment the expected reinforcements should ap-
pear off St. Jago: these are said to consist of three line of battle
ships with several frigates, and three thousand troops, under the
command of General Morales. Reports state that the destination of
the expedition would be against Santa Martha and Maricaibo. The
fleet at present at St. Jag* is well manned, and the troops are all
well clothed and in a high state of discipline.

The French Papers of Thursday have reached us.—
One of them contains a letter from the Director of the
Central Committee for the Haytian Loan, which an-
nounces that President Boxer bad given up one year
of his salary (40,000 gourdes) towards discharging the
National Debt lately contracted with France. " Pecu-
aimy sacrifices," said that patriotic Magistrate, " are
but trifles, when every good Haytian should I oil always
ready t• persist, if necessary, in the defence of his liberty,
and of the independence of his country." This is cer-
tainly a generous act, but it is also one of policy; for

the Haytians were highly dissatisfied with the treaty
which pledged them to pay sO large a sum for a merely
nominal recognition, and the author of that treaty stood
in need of something to support or restore his popularity.

The French Papers contain fresh statement: lion)
Corfu, that a large portion of the hero:•s of Missolonghi
had succeeded in cutting their way through the enemy
and effecting their escape t ► the mounta.ns. Other
acc(,unts say that they had repaired to Atilens to
defend that city against their late Conqueror, who
was preparing to turn his arms against " the eye
of Greece." The Atertrian iThserver asseits, that on the
very day that Missoloughi fell, IBRAHIM PACHA had
offered to the besieged lion urable terms of capitulation,
which were unhesitatingly rejected.

Accounts from Rouen state that order had been completely
restored ; and the Missionaries now continue their piuus labours
without molestation or disturbance.

DEATH OF CAPTAIN MAXWELL.

We regret to announce the melancholy death of Captain Max-
well, of the AURORA frigate, off t'lymouth, on Thursday evening,
at six o'clock. The AtraosA had just got under weigh, and making
nil for the Watst Indies, when Capt. John Maxwell, in foil health
and spirits, while on the quarter deck giving an order to his first
Lieutenant, was seized with a fit, and initantly expired. Thus was
cut off, in the prime of life, an Officer beloved by all under his com-
mand, and respected by a numerous circle of friends, who wiU long
lament their loss.
