RECENT NEWS FROM THE souTn SEA.
BY gentleman lately arrived from
Guayaquil and Panama, l am informed
by him, in person, that the army OF Chill
in July last disembarked at AFRICA in lat.
Is. e5, s. to unite themselves to the pow.
erful armies Of Buenos Ayres, which had
already entered the kingdom OF Peru =
and that the Royalist army in said pro-
vince had capitulated to the Patriots, and
umph all the armies were on their march
for Lima. Casco, the former capital Of
that kingdom, had already become indie
pendent, which excited great alarm in
Lima, its modern capital, which, it is ge-
morally believed here. must have fallen
lsng since. The ports Of Lima and Gu
ayaquil are strictly blockaded by the Pa
triots, who. il is said, have upwards of
eighty vessels OF war; among which are
fr,pates, bries. and other smaller craft
Mt a .inple vessel ba, arrived from Lima
to Panama since September, and it is
positively believed that the immensely
lucrative commerce which has been car
ried on between this island and the Paei.
&c Ocean has now drawn to close, for
the Independent armed vessels have even
appeared in front of Panama on the Gath
Of October; and it is supposed the Patri-
of flag will float in triumph from Cape
Horn to the uorthernmost point in vene.
zuela within the space Of six months.
