FROM PERU.

New YoRx, March I5.-The following
is an extract Of a letter received in tbs
city yesterday, via Panama, from an A.
merican gentleman at Valparaiso, which.
we regret to find, confirms the intelligence
received a few days since OF the defeat Of
division of the Patriot troops in Peru:
VALPARAISO, Nov. 80, l893.-Tbe
second Lima expedition to Alto Peru, un.
der St. Cruz, Sucre, Miller, &c. have a,
gain been defeated.
st, Cruz was completely defeated at
La Psz. by Valdez, without the latter q.
yer firing a gun, and only saved about
loo cut of 45oo men. In consequence OF
this disaster, Sucre retired from Ariouipa
with bis division, about $500 men, and
took shipping tor Plco and Callao, where
they have arrived.
We have report that La Seraa has de.
clared Peru independent.
The Franklin "a, U. S. sch9. Peruvian,
ship Canton, Psgs, briggs Dido, Page, and
Amanda, Gibbs. are The only American
vessels To- port"
New YoRx, March Is. I'VE learn from
d. S. Craig, Esq. American Consul at Pa
mama, who arrived in the schr. Quito.
from Chsgres. that just before he ieii Pa
mama, French frigate arrived there from
Lima, and informed that Bolivsr was at
the head OF an army OF Is 700 men, and
intended soon 10 attaoS the RoysIists.--
Mr.. Craig heard Of ~ battle having been
fought the report, therefore, by the way
OF Valparaiso, Of the total defeat OF The
Patriots, must be incorrect. We have

INTERESTING FROM SPAIN.

wees direct from Madrid, of GONE intcre, [
- Ii seems that AN attempt has been made
IN that Capital, similar 10 the ene recently
defeated IN Lisbon, to wrtst the Cow
from Ferdinand the 7th and place it on the
head of the infant Don Carlos, the heir
apparent IL the throne---This attempt was
formed by the party of the Fanatics, for
whom the present system is not absolute
enough, and who would Eiu exterminate
not the Constitutiunal,sts only, hut the
whole party of the more moderate royal
isis, who,opposed To the Revelation, and e
'entoa any Constitutions, improvement, are
yet unwilling To cut the Threats of the ltbe
Ials. Ii is Il new state of things in a com
try, whca party is TO be found SD royal,
that even absolute despotism is too mild
for their opinions. What u miserable pros
pcct of those once 6ourishing, free aud
powerful kingdoms, Spain and Portugal
that they have not only become the the
alre of the most horrible anarchy and DIES
poism-but that they behold in their ia
ture masters, the Infants Don CalIos and
Don Miguel, an early spirit of ambition that
would immoIatc their parents for lis imme
dia,c sraliticatinn-an frrocions cruelty
and political and religious higotry which
even AT the generous aoe of 23, outstript
Ihrir fathers
The Internal condition OF Spain may be
Inferred front the attempt ofDon Carlos in
the Capitoi--fhrcc parties div Idle the King

Famine stalks over thr land and disco

-rlshed--the Exchefuer rmpty-tlie high
way infested with Enthusiastically thou
sand Frenchmcn are qnaltered on the
country, to remind the people of their
conquest by foreign power--an mbecI,,
but cruel, hiSotrd and treacherou, prince
rules with mhridlrd despotism, filing the
prisons with wretChrs> aud streaming the
scat!nid with blood. The prospect before
them is still more inrlorn aud hopeless
and in the succession Of Don Carlos to the

that ever came under his notice that they
are strictly attentive to their religious de-
Nutlons, and much better in their clrcnm

Most OF them, WE believe, contemplate de-
parting hence for Il settlement, which has
heen formed by their ountiymen, in Ohio
ar Kentucky.
The simplicity Of ihrir manners and the
popularity of their dress have excited the
attention of crowds Of the citizens who
have visited them an board the ship, and
~ whom they observe all the curdltlit Y

pccted from strangers, almost wholly *
