The maxim never to despair of the
republic, was never more forcibly illus
traed and verified than in the glorious
and decisive victory of Ayachuco. Pre-
viou: 10 that event, according TO the
opinion Of Gen. Miller, distinguished
English officer in the Colombian service,
Canterac might have insured certain
triumph by declining a general battle.
lie was in possession of an army vastly
superior TO his enemy, better disciplined,
and strengthened by continual reinforce
ments, amply provided with every thing,
anxious for battle, and confident of vic
tory. After Canterac's defeat at the
battle of Junin, the victory was rot
followed up, and he soon recruited
and received reinforcements from Po-
tosi. The victors in their turn were
then compelled TO retreat, and at MAJ
ara we're attacked by Canterac, where
they lost five hundred men, all the bag
gage belonging to the army, as well as
their field-pieces. The republican ar
my was thus compelled to fall back
the bridges in the rear were broken
down, and escape was impossible. In
this dilemma they repeatedly offered
battle TO Canterac, which he prudently
declined, confident that he could accom-
plish the destruction of his enemy by
surer means. At length the Royalist
General placed himself at Guam ,ngui!-
la, and further retreat was to the Pa
triot army impossible--they could not,
says the officer named above, have re-
named in this position six days longer
for want of provisions, from which they
could not have advanced or receded
without certain destruction.-The In
dams were rising in favor of the Royal
sts-the scouting parties and detach-
ments of the Patriot army were cut off,
their own troops deserted TO the enemy.
The Royalists, flushed with success. and
confident of victory, attacked these
brave men at Ayachuco, anc the result
of this battle was their entire defeat
the capture of Canterac, Valdez, Car
raitala, Monet, Ferraz, and four or five
other generals the entire ndepen-
dence of Peru, and the triumph of re-
publicanism over royalty. The follow.
