SiR,-Iti is with the greatest pleasure
that have the honor To enclose Ia your
Exceleucy the Gazette Extraordinary
OF this city, which contains the official
statement OF the brilliant battle of Junin
which received last night. | his first
success opens the doorto the best foun-
.sded and fattering expectations, and is
a presage II the conclusion OF that war
which has laid waste the rich country
of Peru. The battalion of Zulia, the
squadrons OF Guias, and the Dragon
Guards, went into quarters the day after
the action of Junin.
Although the report of the Secretary
General is exceedingly accurate, permit
me to communicate to you several Cir
cumstances of lesser ote, which have
come to my knowledge by means of
8 private letters from the army, which
render the action still more glorious.
More than a thousand of the enemy's
horse, who were advantageously posted,
have been completely routed by four
hundred of ours. Canterac on his side,
aud the Liberator on ours, commanded
their cavalry in person. Canterac fled
before the Liberator, and has left his ir-
resistible power. The cavalry was the
flower of the Royal Amy, and was
composed Of veteran soldiers. the most
part OF whom were 'Spanards The
contest was terrible, and our cavalry
performed prodigies of valour. Cante-
rae exerted his utmost ability and cour-
age, but was compel;edto fly in disgrace
with very few of those brave men, who
constituted almost the third part ofthose
whom he COMMANDED. The Liberator
appeared conspicuous in every place Of
danger; but his presence, which availe d
more than an army, created despair in
Canterac * his veteran soldiers.
The people here have received this
news with transports of Joy, which ]
anuatoe to describe. There is no one,
who has not been enlivened by the pure
air of liberty, which he with good reason
expects to see consolidated by that gen
Jus. which has alone undertaken to give
