A battle in Upper Peru, between the
Royalists and Patriots, was daily expect

decide the fate of Peru. The armies were
approaching each other at the last advces.
The Royalists were allowed by the Patri-
OTIS themselves, to be better appointed,
and their forces about equal.
At Rio there had been a good deal of
apprehension, that personal aninosity be-
tween the Braziians and Europeans.
would lead to bloodshed and confusion.
after the Emperor dissolved the Cortes on
the 10Th which measure the Brazlians
viewed with great disgust, and considered
as clear manifestation of His Imperial
Majesty's European propensities. The
greater part of the troops were kept al
the palace of st. Christopher (about three
miles from town. which, it was thought,
tended to preserve the tranquility of the
lcity, and was said to have been adhered
|, to by the government after the Cortes wa.
: put down, because his Imperial Majesty
: could not rely upon the support Of tn,
: Brazilian troops. if they were separated
! from the others. Some murmurs having
: been heard against the arbitrary measures
: of the government, and the avowed hosti
,lity of the native citizens to those mea

take place between them and the disaiec
