FROM PERU,

mama to the 10th ult. They contain dispatch
from Bolivar's Head Quarters, which speaks
with great confidence Of e~ffecting the liberia.
ton OF Peru this year-and the raridity Of his
movements IN pursuit and on Lima would seem
toJustify this expectation.
Rodil who Commanded in Lima has sent out
all the cavalry by the route to lea. in order to
form a junction with the retreating army. and
leaving the city, had shut himself up with his
infantry in the Castle of Callao preparing for a
siege, which says the Gazette of the lsthmus,
would be undertaken in a day or two. The
arrival of the Royal squadron off Callao may
change the plan of the Patriots to besiege that
fortress.
According to these papers the victory at Ju.
min, though with such inferior numbers, and
the cavalry alone having engaged, was very
decisive, and the retreat of the enemy is repre-.
scented rather as a fight, in which they aban-
doned their dead, wounded and stores.
Admiral Guise had taken and burnt the COR
sair Brujo, and got afoat the brig Congress,
that had sunk on the coast.
