We have private letters from Lima, by
the Peruvian, to the Sd Of August, which
represent the situation of affairs in a very
different light from the account we gave
yesterday. The display made by the
COMMANDER of the garrison to the British

make an impression that the place was a
bundantly supplied with every necessary,
but we shall herr, account for the manner

and children, amounting to nearly sixty,
were permitted to leave the fortress, as the
presence Of all useless mouths would take

English guests relieved the people, by pro-
ducing a slight relaxation in the extortion

King Of Portugal and the Emperor of the
Portuguese dominions in tho Brazils, con-
cluded under the auspices of Sir Charles
Stuart, has been received. Thetreaty con
