(PROM TILE HANOVERIAN NACIIRICHTEN.)
HANOVII!, Orr. 16.—0 n the 12th, in the forenoon,
his Majesty 4t. pleased to give a private audience to.
the General Chief, Count 3enningeen, accompanied
by-the Coun4a. s Benningsen. His Majesty then gave
''a pnMic audience sitting on the throne, and surrounded
by the Dukes of Cumberland and Cambridge, the Mi-
. Ilisters, the Chill Officers of the Court, ler. to the de-
putetions from the general assembly of the States of
• the Kingdom; the Hereditary Land Marshal was at
their head,.having on his right hand the President of
the First Chamber, and on his left the President of
the Second Chamber. His Majesty replied in the most
gracious terms to the address spoken by the President,
Count Meerveld. The High Chamberlain then pre-
sented in succession applications from numerous pub-
lic bodies and cities.
His Majesty received them standing, and answered
. the Addresses most graciously in the German language.
. In the afternoon his Majesty was most agreeably
• surprised by the arrival of her Royal Highness the
Landgravine of 'lease Homburg, who reached Hanover
some days sooner than the accounts that had been re-
ceived gave occasion to expect.
In the evening the officers of all the corps gave his
Majesty a serenade by torchlight. flip Majesty, at-
tended by all., the. Royal and noble personages now
with him, appeared at the balcony of the Palace to-
wards the garden and was welcomed with the loudest
acclamations.
On the 13th the King reviewed the troops assembled
on a plain near Stocken.
Hi, Majesty dined at a table of 46 covers, at which
all the R•iyal Princes and Princesses, and the foreign
Princes now here, were present, as well as the foreign
Mini ,ters to this Court, and those who have tome on
s,seeial missions, his Majesty's Ministers and their
ladies, the Maripves of Londonderry, and several
foreign Generals awl Admirals new here.
Oa the 14th his :ilajtaiy transacted business with
Coant Munster and the Marques., of Londonderry. In
the ensuing night his Majesty was seized with an at-
tack of the gout in the knee. On the 11; th lie saw
(Daly the Royal Princes and the Landgravine of Hesse
The attack of the gout under which the King
saers is but slight, and as the accounts of last night
are not wore unfavorable than those of the preceding,
we may entertain the hope of seeing his Majesty speedi-
ly recovered. The audiences to have been given yes-
terdav to several fureign Ministers. were necessarily
put en'. We shall eounnuilicate the bulletins as soup
as ite receive them.
• The serenade by torch-liglit, given by the officers,
had an uncommonly line effect ; ab bye one thousand
tor. Lea collected in a small compass in the garden of
Ilerrenhausen, spread a mass of light, which, at a great
firs:ance, was taken for a large ball of lire.
At the review on the 13th, fourteen battalions of
lel:entry, several brigades of artillery, and eight regi-
ments of (aviary were canceled. '1 he King, at whose
arrival and ilepaiture a Royal salute was tired, first
rude along the line ; by his side was his Royal High-
ness the Governor-tieneral, behind him the Princes on
horseback, and the Princesses and a numerous suite in
carriages, drawn by six and four horses. Both the
titays and the numerous spectators (200 carriages
%Tie drawn up opposite the line), received his 'Majesty
pith the must entilusia-tic transports of loyalty.—
, Waeri the King had returned to the centre, the Guyer-
tor-General placed himself at the 'bead of the corps,
wh'cli then marched in parade before the King. The
•• Duke of4elusberland was at the head of the 2d regi-
ment of Helens. The infantry then returned to its
cantotanents, and to the camp ; the cavalry and horse
artillery turned to the left, and again passed his Ma-
jesty at fell gallop. Every body present, strangers
as well as natives, admired the fine appearance of the
. troops, and his Majesty expressed his satisfaction in'
the most flattering wanner.
The citizens had hoped to see his Majesty again in
the evening, and crowded round the illuminated
Palace of the Governor-General.
His Royal Highness invited the foreign Princes and
other distinguished strangers, and a great number of
the principal inhabitants to a ball. His Majesty, how-
ever, remained that evening in his Palace, but the
people had the pleasure of seeing her Royal Highness
the Latelgraviue of Hesse Homburg.
On the 15tir the infantry was exercised ; this morn-
ing there were grand evolutions in the Lindenberg.
To-morrow the cavalry will exercise. On the 16th
the infantry and artillery will celebrate the battle of
Waterloo, and in the evening there will be fire-works
at Herreuhausen. The next day the grand hunt on the
Deister. On the 20th, the army will parade, and it is
said that, with the exception of the Guards and the
2d Regiment of infantry, the army will march from the
raighbourbood the same day.
His Royal Highness the Governor-General has, by
the. King's desire, and in his name, thanked the Ma-
gistrates and citizens for the proofs ofjov and attach- •
meat to his Royal person on the day aniris public en-
try, the remembrance of which will be ever dear to his
Majesty. His Royal Highness likewise thanks the
Magistrates and Citizens for their active assistance in
the meansadopted to solemnize that day.
llis Royal , Highness has further notified his Ma-
jesty's satisfaction to the citizens who formed a corps
of infantry, adding, that it is with particular pleasure
he communicates to the infantry corps of the citizens
these sentiwcuts of his Majesty, which ate likewise his
own.
The number of visitors increases daily. Among
them are the Prince of Bentbeim and Prince Lippe
Kchauenburg, the Prince of Sondersbausen, the Prince
of Hohenlohe, the Bavarian Ambassador, General Von
Stockhorn, M. Von Laugsdortf (Hessian Ambassador
to the Court of London), &c. We expect the Prince
Metternich from Vienna, the British Ambassador at
the Court of Berlin, the Russian Ambassador at the

Those who have had the-best opportunities of informa-

his Majesty once contenSplkte it en bis arrival, as I
understand, from-good authority. This place is ex-
pected to be the seat of important negociations, bat
they will not have the effect of prolonging his Ma-
jesty's visit, and arrangements are already made for
his departure in the beginning of next week. His
Majesty is advised not to expose himself in the open
air till he is perfectly recovered from an attack which
the medical gentlemen think is only of a temporary Ilit•
tine. The knee, I understand, is the part where bit
Majesty finds himself affected.
TIMIS D 4.11' EVIBNI NG, ENHT o'ccorx.—The pain

tack of the gout is in a great degree removed, and his
departure is positively fixed for Thursday week.
Count Lieven has just arrived, and Prince Metternich
' is momentarily expected. Negociations of fbe highest
importance are on the tapir. Mr. Grant, one of his
' Majesty's messengers attached to Carlton-house, has

nature.

ARMISTICE IN PERU.

The reports which have been so long and so indus-
triously circulated of the defeat and destruction of the
army under General San Martin, turn out to have been
totally unfounded. Not only has that Commander ex-
perienced no disaster, he has on the contrary completely
routed the force sent against bins from Lima, and com-
pelled the Viceroy of that place to request an Armistice
for the purpose of entering into a negociation prepara-
tory to agret ing to the articles proposed by the con-
(pet or. San Martin granted a suspension of arms for
tNetity days, to be renewed at the expiration of that pe-
riod if there should he a fair prospect of coming to a
final arrangement. If not, two days notice were to he
given before military operations should be resutuetl.—
This highly important intelligence was brought yester-
day by arrivals from Santiago de Chili to the 9th of
`July, and from Buenos Ayres to the middle of August.
We translate the accounts of the victory gained by San
31artin over the Lima Army, counnauded by General
Ricafort, and the terms of the Armistice, from the
" Official Ga.vette Extraurdinary," dated Santiago de
Chili, 4th July :

" Official Dispatch from the Gore rnorof l'atpural:o to the
Minister of State he the Department of Government.
"At half-past four yesterday evening, the brigantine
Catalina arrived in this port. The Captain of the
Port writes as follows :
" By the arrival of the English brig Catalina, the
defeat of Gemmel Ricafort is confirmed much in the
sime teams as it was previonsly annonneed. The par-
ticulars of the news she brings are these :-
1 hat the rout of General Ricafor t was completed,
after he bad been effectually discomfited in a most ob-
stinate action with General Areoales near Pasco.
General Iticafort was badly wounded, and his horse
was killed under him. The major part of his divi-
sion were made prisoners, the rest being killed, u ith
the exception of a few cavalry officers, who succeedeti
in getting into Lima. It further appears that General
San Martin consented to an armistice at the solicita-
tion of the Viceroy of Lima, for 20 days, for the pur-
pose of agreeing upon certain propoar-d articles, the
result of which is not yet known. It is clear, how-
ever, that this request on the part of the Viceroy, was
the consequence of the destruction of the division of
General Ricafort. I have the honour to transmit the
particulars of the armistice for the information of
his Excellency the Supreme Director. God protect'
you, &c. " Lutz DE La CRUZ.
" Valparaiso, July 2, 1521.
" To the Minister of State D. Joaquin de Echeverria."
The articles of the armistice are six in number. By
the Ist it is agreed that all hostile proceedings shall
be suspended, and the divisions of each army shall
keep their positions, durirg the space of 20 days ;
and by the 2d that the time may be extended as far as
shall be deemed necessary, if st the end of 20 days the
object in view shall not have been attained. By an-
other article it is agreed that if by some fatality it is
found that no accommodation can take place between
the hostile parties, war shall not be recommenced
until two days after it shall have been notified that
the present armistice is at an end. The remaining
articles refer only to matters of form.
Deputies from each of the armies were to assemble
immediately, so that little doubt was entertained that
an entire cessation of hostilities would ensue.
To the above official intelligvw, we have to sub-
join the following, derived from an authentic source in
London :

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM VALPARAISO, DATED
JULY 4.
We have very favourable news from Guayaquil. A
detachment of 2,000 men from Bolivar has arrived in
that place from Choca. The campaign against Quito
was to be opened on the Ist of July, with even chance of

success.
The letters received from Valparaiso mention that
Sir Thomas Hardy had been very active in enforcing►
the right of British vessels to enter the Voris blockaded
by Lord Cochrane's squadron, iu consequence of
n hid), the supreme Director of the Chilien Republic.
had issued a Decree, by which the blockade was to
be limited from the 22d Jane to the ports between II
deg. 48 min, and 13 deg. 51 min. of South latitude. Sir
Thomas Hardy would not, it appears, acknowledge th
power of the blockade thus far, until he bad received
orders from his government. Lord Cochrane bad
been levying duties upon all vessels in the Bay of
Ylo, and upon those trading to that coast, to the
amount of 18 per cent. Several other British vessels
had been detained by his Lordship's squadron. The
ship Admiral Cockburn, was detained, but subsequently
allowed to proceed. after granting to his Lordship
some stores of which be was in need. The -Robert
Fuge, was taken and sent to Valparaiso for abjetil-1
cation, but was released after depositing the arattutie
of duties levied upon her. Lord 'Cochrane then granted
to the latter a license to trade on the coast. The
three ships which had been so tong detained by Lord
Cochrane (Lord Saki& Indian, and Edward Ellice)
were still at Valparaiso waiting their trials. The
Egham, Captain Petite, had beta detained 'sad met
into Valparaiso, and twe or three ether erode
