New York, Feb. BY the arrival of the
Cd,iddce at Boston, we have been furnished
with the following intelligence from Peru. AL.
though the dates are much later from Lima
than those VIC gave last week, nothing decisive
had yet occurred to decide the fate of the coun-
try, but affairs were at an interesting crisis
We are indebted to a commercial friend for the

eve should be happy were our adyices con-
tlnued under more agreeable circumstances, or
that the energies of the country were united n.
gainst our common enemy; but unfortunately.
this object Is impeded by civil war; Riya
ASuera, who held the Presidency previously to
the late occupation of this place by the enemy
Is contending for that honour with his successor
Tore Eagle, subsequently appointed by the
Congress. He is in possession of the northern
provinces; and, Notwithstanding the mediation
Of Gen. Bolivar, will not rclinQuish his preten

Gently arrived and was Immediately invested

ry confidence IN the valour, talents and expe-

war in a brilliant manner.n
From tins state Of political affairs NAV be de-

Every article of export from the United States,
except Flour, is dull. This article is selling
somewhat brisk at from SIG to % on board, and
the stock on hand from A to 5000 barrels. The
prospects of the crops in Chill are not vet
known; but, supposing it will be about me.
dunn, we calculate that until Dec. the price
will be from SIG TO %, and then will probably
fall to S12. fBeef, Pork, Tobacco Hams,
| Bread, Cheese, &c. there is not an inorlinatc
supply Dui, Oh ACCOUNT Oh inc scarcity OF specie,
they are dull. Copper and paper money are at
discount of from so to 60 per cent but, agree
ably to a new regulation, it will no longer be
received for duties, and after 70 days its circu-
fatlon is to cease; and for its redemption the CO.
vernmcnt offer to sell tobacco and real estate.
to receive it i'll payment for old debts, or give
bills on England at rs per SlOO.
English goods are sufficiently plenty Ger
man, Dutch, French, China and India goods
are not SO plenty, but are dull notwithstapd-
