PATRIOT ARMY.

We have already published the de.
feat of the Patriot Army in Peru. The
following are the particulars of that e.
vsn':
On the Goth Of Jan. last, the oppo.
sing armies came within sight of each
other at a town called Moquega, some
thing moro than 40 Leagues from Ari-
ca. The Patriot army commanded by
Gen, Alvarado, the royal army by the
Generals Cantarac and Bales. D'spo
sitions were Immediately made for b.t-
tie, and it commenced with great spi.
rit on both sides 1t was maintained
with much obstinacy till the patriots,
Welding, a. stated by some to superior
numbers, by others, to superior skill,
gave way, when the Royalists obtained
a signal victory, not more than 8 or
900 of the Peruvian Patriots escaping
from the scene of this sapguinary con
test.

Some have supposed because no &C
counts Of hostilities have arrived, that the
war will be paper one. But there Ger
tsinly appeared no disposition on the part
Of Spain al The last dates, 10 surrender her
Constitutional rights withoui an appeal 10
arms and there was no evidence, ON toe
part OF France, of hesitation or delay so
as to decide the question, 1t the surrender
was not made. The war was not actual :,
" declared by France until the 2Sth OF
January, nor any formidable preparations
made TO prosecute it before that time -
Some OF her troops then ordered to wage
II. had to march from 400 10 40 miles, in
the dead OF winter with all The artillery,
camp equippage, munitions. &c. Allow
ing only for the usual rest days OF Corps
en- marche, some of these could not reach
the frontier until the middle OF March I,
and then time would be requisite tor The
due organization OF the corpse d'Armee,
&c. Most of the efficient commanders OF
the French corps have seen much service,
and would not be likely to make rash or
isolated .emep g, md the general in,
Chief, though he has not seen much SER
vice, would probably be guided by hIs ex.
perienced Lieu,enauts. So tar, then from
there been any delay. it the army should
have commenced operations By the begin
ming or middle of April an evidence will
have been given of energy in tue French
government which very few considered 1t
possessed. 1t was very evident, that the
French government considered the war
necessary to thspreseruat,on Of their safety;
that they had made their calculations OF
its effects and results. and that they were
determined to prosecute II whatever might
be the opinion oil the world OF It's injustice,
imprOvidence. or folly.

FROM FRANCE.

By. the packet ship Lewis, which ar
rived last night, we have our Paris pa
pers to the esd inst bringing down the
dates from that city three days later
than the accounts by the way of Eng.
land.
The disposition which England MA
infested of preserving neutrality, was
attributed by many of the French roy.
alits, rot to any desire TO see France
triumph in her attack upon Spain, but
to the circumstanc sthat having. under
the pvete4t OF indemnity for spolistions
obtained from the Spanish govern
ment 7 or 10 millions of rentes, or in
scriptions in the Great Book, which,
in the hope of concillating Eogland,
had been too readily granted by the
Spauiards, the latter would now be left
to their fate.
Private letters inform Us that the
confidence of the French government
was very great, that their army would
march almost without obstacle to Mad
rid. They had ascertained, as they
thought satisfactorily, that the British
cabinet had determined on the strict.
or, neutrality, and that, consequently,
France had nothing to dread on that
score. The only hope which the
friends OF peace about the French court
bad cherished was founded on change
which they had tried to effect in tie
war department, by substituting Mar.
mont Duke of Ragusal to Victor
Duke of Beluno,) the present minis.
ter, and thereby to cause such an all
iteration in the plans, as well as in the
commands of the army, as would ocoa
sion delay at least, and perhaps pro-
duce an acc ommodation. These hopes,
however, had vanished, and Victor was
to remain; or if superseded, was to be
replaced by an officer Of the staff Of
Monsieur, who, if we are to believe a
bon mot current in the capital, was in
favor of the war, because he was not
going to it, while the Duke Of Angou.
leme was against it, because he was
going to it. From the same source,
we learn that Mr. Forsyth had left
Madrid with his family on the 5th
March, and was expected at Paris,
where he woulo pass some time, pre-
vious to embarking at iIavre for the
United States.
We would direct the attention Of
our readers to an article we have trans.
lated from the Constitutional Of the
18th Of March, the reasoning of which
we think conclusive as to the sense of
the Spanish nation, and which may be
taken IS sure augury of the result OF
the attempt to force on them by TO-
reign hands government foreign also
to their inclinations aDd interest.

And the winter winds blow cold,
Why wander abroad on Thy weary way,
And leave thy homes warm fold 70
" The winters winds blow cold, tits true,
And am old to roam
But may wander the wide world through,
Ere shall find my home"
"And where do thy children loiter so long
Have they left thee, thus old and forlorn,
To wander the wild heather and hills among,
While they quaff from the lusty horn"
My children have long since sunk to rest
To that rest which would were my own;
l have seen the green turf placed over each breast
And read each loved name on the s,one."
"Then haste to the friends Of thy YOUTH old man,
Who loved thee in days of ,ore
They will warm thy old blood with the foaming can,
And sorrow shall chill it no more I"
&c To the friends Of my youth in far distant parts,
Over moor, over mount, have sped
But the kind found in their graves and the hearts
OF the living were cold as the dead"

On the grass green sod he sank,
While the evening sln DER The western vale,

But ncve again did the man rise
From the sod which he pressed that night.
