REVOLUTION IN PERU.

The Baltimore American, received by the George Washing-
ton, contains late intelligence from the Pacific. dated Guav-
aquil, Aug.. 6, from which it appears, that another revolution
had hl'oken out iu Peru.

" We are sorry to inform you, that Peru is again in a la-
mentable state of•revolution. The vessel that sailed from
Cal Lao on the 26th informs us, that the revolution was de-
clared on the 28th, and, by an arrival from Payta since then,

the same is confirmed ; that all the north of Peru, which
includes the departments of Libertad, Janin, Huaylas, and
Pierra, • had declared against the confederation. Generals
vela and Siema had marched on Lima with, 2,500 men, and
had arrived at Chancay, about four leagues from
.Lima,
where they were joined by General Obregoso, the President
of. Peru, with six hundred cavalry from Lima, to complete
the combination, and declare the revolution against the Pro-
tectoral Government of General Santa Cruz. There are
two battalions of Bolivian troops stationed at Lima, and
General Miller, Governor of Callao, and General Moran,
who has commanded the naval forces, have been considered
staunch friends of Santa Cruz; how they will act we do not
know yet, but it is likely they will endeavour either to. put
the revolution down or hold out in the castles of Callao, as
Miller was putting water and provisions in the castles.
"Gen. Santa Cruz is in Bolivia, and had a considerable
force there, and, should no revolution be made against.him
there, he will nut give up the ship without trying his strength.
The expedition from Chili, consisting of thirty-three tran-
sports with 5.000 men, including soldiers and sailors, no doubt
sailed from Valparaiso on the 4th ult., as, by accounts from
there of the 3d, a part of the army had already embarked,
and, no doubt, long ere this, have arrived on some part of the
coast of Peru, to co-operate with the revolutionary party in
Lima." --
ATTACK ON MONTE VIDEO.

The Baltimore American, received by the George Washing-
ton, contains later intelligence from the River Plate than had
previously reached this country.
"By the brig Mento, Wiley, at this port, yesterday, in
forty-two days from Monte Video, we have received papers
of that city to the 17th August. Captain Wiley reports, that,
on the morning-he sailed from Monte Video, the invading
army (insurgents) commenced an attack on the city at five
o'clock a.in., and continued until ten a.m., when they were
repulsed with considerable loss. The attacking force wa s
waiting the arrival of two more divisions of their army, when
it was expected they would be able to capture the city. The
entrance of cattle into the city was stopped the day before.
We have been furnished with the following extract of a let-
ter, dated

Monte Video, 15th August, 1838. —Our last advices were
of the 30th June, since when, the blockade of Buenos Ayres
continuing, all vessels arrived since our last have been obliged
to remain at this port as before; but, notwithstanding, prices
of imports have been sustained better than could have been
expected. This may be partly attributed to the continual
running of small craft between this and Buenos Ayre3, and
other ports of thusegprovinces, owing to the moderation thus
far exercised on the part of the French ; but, should they be-
come more severe, and make prizes of all the capture in this
traffic, it will reduce it very much, and the lessened demand
thereby will be sensibly felt in our market.

"• 1 he civil war here appeared lately to be approaching a
crisis, from the reverses which the government party met with,
and we had hoped to have seen peace shortly restored. We
think this, however, very doubtful now, and that it may still
be of some duration : meantime, the opposing party are so
near as to threaten the city itself with a siege.' " •
