was another object upon which it was postponed
to apply a proportion of that monev-the media

This was in anticipation OF n continued peace.
The most obvious mode of dealing with that sur.

reduction OF the debt; but no man could look at

consequences that had resulted from such cx-

possible opportunity to revise that system of tax

we have been politely favored with the fol-
lowing extract ola letter from a gentleman of
respectability at Valparaiso to another in this
city, under the date of December }, The good
conduct OF Bolivar, we hope, will have proved,
ere this, the glooEy forebodings of the writer to
be without foundation.
The political af.lirs in Alto Peru promise
very badly for the Patriots-and Know believe
that all Peru will fall into the hands of the
Spaniards.
"Gen. Bolivar is now at the head of the Pc
ruvian Government, and has about 1000 vete-

down a few weeks past, amounting to $500 men
together with all the Peruvians, at his command.
There will be hard fighting, if the Spanish troops
support the character reported of them. Ow-
ING to this unsettled state of the country, busi-
ness is very dull, and cannot be better until a
regular intercourse with the interior take place,
Since the above was in type, we have been
favored with an extract of letter from an OIL
Ger ON board the u. States ship Franklin, dated
VALPARAISO, Dec. d, 1823.-We are now
busily employed in caullzing the ship, and as
soon as that is done, which will be in the course
ofslx or seven days, we go again to the Inter
medions, and bring up, suppose, as before, at
Collao;-where / hope we shall remain but

time after the arrival of the frgate United States
As to the state of affairs in this part Of the world,

OF Commodore Wilkinson, who died after a
short illness. He was buried with military no.
