My DEAR WIFE, have the pleasure of
Informing you, that We are all arrived safe,
and in tolerable good health, after a long pas
sage, at beautiful seat belonging to Arismen-
dis, which is two miles from Lima, as menti-
oned In letter which wrote on the sixth of
tins month, and gave it to the carpenter of
Col. Allen, addressed to Mr.. John Nave, of
London, in which have given you short ac-
count OF our voyage, as | did not know of
TINS opportunity, as we are to stop here Il little
while until things are more pcaceable. The
fatriots are in possession of the Pasco Mines,
and we expect to SO to Coniucos. They have
cut off all inland communications, and the
port of Calao is blockaded, as gave you an
account up to the 9th of April, in my other
letter to Mr.. Nave. VIM. Twigg and are
each writing tog ether, and have not much
time. On the 9th of April, in the morning,
as soon sit was daylight, one of Lord Coch-
rane's ships 1.-THE squadron consists of thirty
has becalmed in the mouth of the Port, which
we had good opportunity Of seeing. They
sent out ten gun boats well manned with hea-
Wy brass cannon to take her, and they had a
smart engagement; the gun boats were obg-
ed to return, having several men killed and
wounded. L have heard them firing since.
On the same day, we all, as well AS Mr.. Page,
went on shore about three o'clock our things
were slightly inspected, and there was horse
Tor each of us. We all mounted, ten of us,
with Mr.. Smith, who has been there two
years, and speaks Spanish well the road was
wide and beautiful, and we arrived at Lima
when dusk, and in short time we rode to
this place, Il country house of one ofthe Mine
Company; black cook provided some roast
ed pigeons, and other eatables, and two bot
ties of wine and spirits, and some fruit OF
the latter we have plenty to go amongst, but
we are not very greedy it. There are good
walks with shades round the house, and not
very hot; the garden and grounds are about
half "A mile square, and the fruit trees almost
touch one another many are larger than APP

about ton weight, and the. apple the same ;
there are plenty of peaches, figs, grapes, and
lemons both sweet and sour, also many that |

seats at the top of the house, and see the sea
