IMPORTANT FROM PERU.

| We have perused letter, say the editors of
the New York Ga ette, from Porto Cabello,
dated the 18th Of last month October from
which we extract the folio wing paragraph:
We Yesterday received news from Peru.
Bolivar and Csnterac have met and had gen.
eral action, in which the latter was killed and
his army routed Bolivar had 5000 men.
and lost 5000 in killed and wounded He had
| possession Of Lima and Calao he drives all
| before him
IL will be recollectcd that our last officia,
news from Peru, gave accounts ola signal VIC
| tory gained by the Patriots over Canterac's
| cavalry on the 9TH of August. and also stated
| that Bolivar intended Immediately to pursue
| the Rovaiist infantry; we have therefore little
doubt but the above information IS perfectly
| correct, and the cause Of the Patriots in Peru
may consequently be considered as completely
| triumphant We may also add that we are
personally acquainted with the writer of the
above letter, and believe him incapable Of dis
seminating any intelligence, of the authentici-
ty OF which he was not fully satisfied.
The ne,o French King.-The princi-
pal feature displayed in the policy Of Charles
which has yet been developed, is his formal
abolition o. the censorship of the press In
consequence Of this measure, the Paris papers
already begin to notice the reception OF the
Nations Guest or this side Of the Atlantic.
The French editors may now, If they please,
compare the honors which we have paid to
LA FAYETTE, to those which they have paid
to Charles, and let them award the palm of
sincerity TO themselves II they can.

on all former occasions Of the kind here, with
the company OF large number Of laGes but
although the articles we've exhibited without
doors, the inconvenience arising from the want
OF some better mode OF exposing them, with
advantage, to the view of all'who attend, than
has hitherto been adopted, was again felt and
regretted by many of the spectators. The Of
fetal report Of the Society, with the names of
successful candidates for premiums viii be
