PERU.--Advices from Lima to April II, state
that the President 9gaira was making great exer-
tons to defend the place, and had force of 5000
troops 700 Of the troops sent by BOLIVAR from
Guayaquil had arrived 5000 in all had embarked,
and Bolivar had been invited to take command of
the whole. The Spanish forces under Gen. Can't
erac, were estimated at 1000, of which 1000 were
cavalry They were within about 40 leagues of Lima.
The Peruvian squadron sailed from Calao about
the 25th of March, under the command of Admiral
Guise, for the blockade Of the coast OF africa.
We are favoured with the perusa ola letter re-
cieved in this city from Buenos Ayres, which fur
nisbes information from Chill to The oath of May,
and from Lima to the 99th of April. At the latter
place, the most active preparations for resisting the
Spaniards were continued; 1000 of the Colombian
troops had arrived more had been on the
way 20 days, and the last division Of 1900, with
Gen. Bolivar, sailed IL days before from Guayaquil.
A naval expedition was fitting out at Chill, to act in
concert with troops, to be sent to the intermediate
portso
A report had reached Chill that the Spsniards had
reached Lima. with force of 10000 men, but it
was not believed. The Lima letter of the above
mentioned date, (s9th April,) says "If the Span
iards are really approaching, and arrive within a
week. they may cause infinite distress, but beyond
that time their approach will probably involve
them in entire destruction"

From the New York Statesman.

la friend has handed us for publication the following
beautiful little song. All know of its origin is that
was written by gentleman who had been unfortunate il
life, and who found soace for his woes in touching tn,
melancholy chords of his lyre]
No more shall the spring my lost pleasures restore,
Uncheered still wander alone,
And sunk in detection, forever deplore,
The sweets of the days that are gone.
The sun as it rises, to others seems bright,
But think how it formerly shone
Where others Gull blossoms, find but blight,
And sigh for the days that are gone!
At night when listen in moonghted groves,
To the nightingale's sw eet plantive tone,
Her song still reminds me of long banshed loves,
And the sweets of the days that gone!
The dewdrop that steals through the damp eye of night
Is a tear for the bliss that is flown,
Where others Gull blossoms l find but a blight
And sigh for the days that are gone

BY the brig Octayus captain Baker, arrived at
this port yesterday in IL days from Kingston, ia
maica We learn that the u S. schooners Beagle and
Greyhound arrived there on the Goth July from
cruize on the south side of Cuba. On the 2lst
July, near Cape Cruz, in recommending the shore
they were fred at by party of Pirates about 40 in
number'-The boats retreaied to the vessels and
warped them 10 sufficiently near to cover their Ian
ding, in which they succeeded and took the pirate
battery, which were mounted three pieces of can
non They also took eight large boats, four of which
they destroyed.-None ofthe pirates we're taken
as the mangrove bushes afforded them secure re-
treat. 1t is supposed seyera, of them were killed
and wounded.
In addition to the particulars given yesterday, we
are furnished with the following, extracted from
the Kingston, Jam. Chronicle of the 29th ult
"a small hamlet, in which the pirates resided,
was set fire to and destroyed. Three guns, one
four FOUNDER, and two large swives, with several
pistols, cutlasses; sc and eight large boats were
captured. A cave about $50 feet deep was discove-
red, near where the houses were, and, after conside
rable difficulty, party OF seamen got to the bottom,
where was found an immense quantity of plumber,
consisting ofbroad cloths, dry goods female dresses,
saddlery, sc. &c. Many human bones were also in
the cave, supposed to have been unfortunate persons
who were taken and put to death. A great deal of
the articles brought away and the rest destroy
ed. About forty pirates escaped to the heights, but
many supposed to have been killed, from the
fire of the schooners, as we'll from the men who
landed. The bushes were so thick, that it was i'm
possible to go alter them, Several other caves are
in the neighborhood in which it is coniecturedthey
occasionally take shelter. From their houses being
burnt, and their boats taken away, it is hoped they
will be obliged retire from that place, they will
be without the means of annoying vessels passing

TO the Editor Of the -die1undrio Herald
Mr.. Pittman--The electioneering cam.
paign having commenced in our little
corporation, think it not amiss to give
few timely hints and reflections.
In the first wards Boreas and tShtllaia
appear to hold we'll with public opinion !;
but however desirable good estate may
be, Field may not be worth the
tillage. However, as he is iavorite,
they look for something by way of back
ing, and pitch upon Hill to beautify, if
not enrich, the prospect. 1t is, however,
the opinion OF some, that both would en-
cum6er the place they stand upon, and
chat it would be better to have Ladd
if he could only see to help Foqvie to
the grsDary.
In the second ward, they are all Iphit1
men, and, although there may be a Man.
devil among them, it is expected they
will be kept in good bumor TO the ia
vorite song of "Bo66y anderson my Joe. 81
The third ward, has more difficulty to
encounter-lhey are cross grained set,
and will have their own way in doing
their own business. One would think
when there is NILS to give them bread
and Butcher to give then, meat, they
should be content; but they are not they
want, in addition, Gardrer to give them
vegetables, and Butts Of ale to moislen
their dry jokes after dinner. 1t is hard
to say how things will go in this 'ward, for
the battle is not always 10 the strong, nor
the race with the Sgyif. Besides they
want Mise man TO rule over the tent of
tbe tribe Of Jacob.
The fourth ward, is likely totake an
interest in the family affairs and as il is
the season for the migration Of birds, it
IS said that the Swann will take wing and
ny; others say that he is domestic bird,
and can be retained without much trou.
Bile; and if the people Of the third ward
can support lNiiLa, it makes the necessity
OF Miller from the fourth. They dis.
pute abou. namesj but all agree tina,
none will do without VoweH.
