Glorious intelligence .fiom Peru.-Wr
have al length ad,ices from Peru, direct,
aud Of u late date, upon which reliance can
be placed. The victory Of the Patriots
over the cavalry of the R"yalists, is amply
confirmed, aud the troops of Bolivar are
sweeping every thing before them. TIL"
reader will perceive, however, that the nc
counts received. over land from Peru, OF Il
second and more general engagement, in
which it was stated that Cantarac aud 5000
nj his soldiers were killed, were incorrect.
But this is of little importance, since the
RoyaIists, div ided and distracted amoog
themselves, are every where flying from
the forces of Bolivar. Glancta, it i. now
we'll ascertaned, was acting with the Pari
OTIS, and Upper Peru was in their posses

though II WAS reported that the Royalists
had retired to the fortress of Calla0.
