PERU, TO THE ARMY.
!SohfierS-You are going TO complete the
greatest undertaking ever inlrusted to men, that
of saving a whole world from slavery. Sol
dlers! the foes you are TO destroy boast of IA
years oftrIumph; they therefore must be worthy
OF measuring their arms with yours, which shOne

America expect from on peace as the fruits Of
Victory, and liberal Europe herself fixes with
deiight her eyes upon You, because the liberty
Of the New World, is the hope of the Universe.
viii you disapPoint her? No! No! You are
invincible. BOLIVAR.
"A letter from a respectable Individual at Pas
co, of the 9Th Of august, contains the following:

meadows of Junin, near the spot called the foot

manded personally in the action. The bravery
OF the Libertador was such as 10 approach very
ne ar the ranks of the enemy. The brave Co
%lombians have behaved like heroes The curas-
ie's, now called the husSars of Junjn, have borne
themselves brilliantly. They are the most dis
tinguished corps Of Peruvians for achieve
ments in the field. The enemy have been SO
completely dispersed, that it appears TO me inn
possible that they can ever again form two
squadrons; while we have ten full squadrons, in
high spirits and full of enthusiasm. The enemy,s
infantry seems also ruined; because those who
had concealed themselves in their march from
Pasco 10 REYES, are disabled bv having their
feet extremely swollen. Those who were com.
peeled TO retreat beyond Tarma are doubtless
still worse.-The booty we have found thus far
is abundant. Some soldiers have taken more
than thirty doubloons. Necochea and Miller
have behaved bravely.
Another letter from Huaras, August 22d,
says: Yesterday | arrived from Jauia-our ar
my is beyond iscuchuca, or rather by this time
must be on the road to Guanange. The Goths
are flying in the greatest disorder.-The mum.
Der of prisoners and deserters come in incalcuIa-
bly,. | say nothing of munitions, ammunitioas
of all sorts; not TO be tedious, | firmly believe,
from what | have seen, that this war is at an
end.
From a letter rom Truxillo, of 29th Sept
''The consequences of the victory seem incredi-
BILE. The enemy have abandoned the rich val
ley OF jduJa, leaving III our possession all their
magazine well filled with provisions and untouch-
ei, forgetting, in the confusion, to destroy them.
On the 18th the Liberator was at Huancayo with
the 1st. division; about that time a force was
coming down against Callao, which | told you
contained n very small garrison.-On the 10th
Rodil caused the horse to leave Lima, to unite
with the remainder of the fugitive army, by the
road of lea, and shut himself in the castle Of
Callao with the infantry TO prepare himself for
a seige, which is to be commenced Immediately.
The dispersion Of the enemy is so entire, that |
do not exaggerate when | say that | believe the
Boosting Canterac will enter Cuzco alone. On
the LIST of Sept. General Lafueute, Col. Perez
and some other officers will leave this place for
Lima. Senou Uhanue has political command
of the capital.
a letter from Truxillo of Oct. /, states, on the
authority of letters from the Mountain Of Yau-
ticocha, that 200 dead bodies, 100 horses, and
500 lanCcs have been found besides those men
toned in the official accounts of the battle.-
The chiefs Marcilla and Bedoya were killed.
The enemy flies so precipitately that they trav-
eHed Q leagues in four hours after their defeat.
They came out 10 meet us with so much conf
denCe, that they left at Jauja and TaTma al! the
preparations for celebrating the victory. The
Libcrator has treated the wounded and prison.
ers in the most noble and generous manner. He
ordered that they should be treated like our own
men, indeed like himself. Tie prisoners are
undeceiyed and astonishcd. In the retreat from
Jauiat TO Conception, the enemy lost $50 oftheir
infantry by fatigue. They shoot any one that
gets tired, while our officers give their horses to
those thatare %fatigued. Canterac has ordered the
fints to be taken from the guns Of corps of Bur-
gos, Castro and Centre.
"Anotber Of the same date says: On the 10th
of this month the gallant Necochea entered this
place wounded, brought on the shoulders ofsone
PeTuvians. All the people came out to receive
him with the greatest enthusiasm, as one of the
oonqUerers Of Juuin; men and women contend
