A letter from C~arthageha, says, ssthe DC
counts from Boil var are most encouraging"
Ertract of q letter dated Guayaguit, Sept. IL.
Since writing you last, nothing further has
transpired but what send you; accompanying
is an extra Gaz cite, issued on account of the
ne Tvs from the army of the defeat of the rear
guard of the Spanish forces in the valley of Ju.
min, two and a half leagues from Reyes. We
have heard that the Spanish 81 gun ship Asia,
has arrived at Chloe, and waiting for the arIi
val Of three smaller vessels to co.operate-thIs
will give the Patriot sea forces a check, ! fear:
they are nearly all block aiding Callao, which
they are going to besiege by land and sea. The
Spanish cavalry under Gen. Rodil, has aban.
doned Lima, and the infantry have all retired
into the Castles at Callao, and left Lima free
of all Spanish troops. The marines from on
board the English "a, Cambridge, had been
sent up to Lima, to protect the property, until
the Patriot force should arrive, when they in
tended besieging Callao, which will probably
be able to hold out 3 or 4 months. The last
news from the army was, thatthe enemy were
retreat,ng so rapidly, that it was not known
whittier they had directed their march. 1t is
generally supposed that this last campaign will
close the war in Peru. Bolivar still remains
there, and no doubt will, in case the Spanish
forces should again rally.
They are taking up all disposabie vessels
to send down to Panama, to transpertt to Peru
about 4 or 5000 men under the command of
General Paez. They are to sail in a few days
and are making active preparations
