AFFAIRS OF PERU.

The following are additional translations from
our recent files of Bucnos Ayres papers. We
fear the cause of the Patriots of Peru is i'm bad
state. Indeed we had been prepared for disa
greeable news by previous accounts, direct from
Peru; and therefore when the intelligence Of
the defeat of Santa. Cruz was first received here.
in letter from Coquimbo, we did not doubt of
its truth-especially as the iette was written
by Commodore Stewart, of the U. S. shio
Franklin, and he did not speak of the affair as
an uncertainty, but as fact.

belief Of their having commi ted Piracy. An

prisoners claim as their property, alleging in
explanation, that their vessel had been forcibly
sriZcd by armed men, and, 10 exchange, they
had received from The pirate his vessel, with a
promise to return In few days and restore
their original property. Under this expectation
they were aDxiously Waiting her arrival. For
tunateiy for humanity, my boats encountered
her. From the quantity OF clothing, goods,
and nautical INSTRUMENTS, found on board, she
must have robbed several vessels, and from
stains Of blood on clothes, &c. most probably
murdered the unfortunate people who fell into
their hands. We found on board, also, three
