The important intelligence from Peru, re-
ceived by the way of Charleston and Balti-
more, is conoborsted by ar arrival at N. York.
! The following extracts give further informa-
| ton:
The schooner Weymouth arrived at
New York, direct from Carthagena,
has brought dispatches for our govern
ment containing this important intelli.
gence. They were under the charge OF
Mr.. ANDERSON, who set out immedi-
| ately with them for Washington. On
| the news reaching Carthagena, the fast
sailing brig Aspasia, belonging to
| Messrs. lie Roy, Bayard & Co. Of New
York, was Immediately despatched
from that port, direct for London, in
ballast. She sailed on the 18th of ia
nuary, and no doubt was the first YES
sci to convey this important intelli-
genee to Europe. The following let
| ter on the subject, has been received by
| a mercantile house in New York:
Carthagena, Jan. l3.-The schooner
Fame, which arrived last evening in 6
days from Chagres, brings the impor-
tant intelligence that the Spanish army
| in Peru, was totally defeated by the
Colombians, under General Sucre, on
the plains of Guamanguilla, on the 9th
Dec. last. The Vice Roy and Gene
rails Canterac and Valdez were taken
prisoners-the first was severely wound
ed. I have seen copy of the official
account transmitted by the Secretary
of Bolivar, to the Intendant of Panama,
and by him sentt to the Intendant of this
place, which not only states the above.
but also requests that the reinforce
ments which are now on their way to
Peru, may be detained, as there is no
longer any occasion for them. There
is so little doubt of the truth oft here,
that the Venezuela frisate is ordered
to sail the very moment she is ready,
to carry the news to England.
"This intelligence was brought to
Panama by an Englishman despatched
by the English Consul resident at Ii
ma, who Immediately on his arrival at
Chagres, chartered an American schr
to carry him to Charleston, and was to
have sailed from there four days since.
He was to proceed from Charleston to
England Immediately"
twill be recollected (remarks the N.
Y. Mercantile) that the schr. Edward
arrived at Charleston on the 9th ult
from Chagres, and it was stated she
brought intelligence from Lima to the
22d of December. No doubt she is the
vessel alluded to in the above letter.
Nothing satisfactory transpired from
her, and it is evident the Information
she brought was purposely kept Sc
cret. 1t is believed however, the in
telligence will first reach England by
the vessel despatched from Carthage
ma.
