BUENOS AYRES.
We have received, through the politenesS OF
a kind friend, a file of Buenos Ayrean papers to
the 9th January inclusive. One of the papers
casually mentions the death Of the Marquis
ToRRE TAoLE, the former President Of the
Congress Of Peru, in the fortress Of Callao-
his Secretary promises to publish defence OF
his character, which, if well managed, may be
Interesting, but cannot produce change in the
universal sentiment, that the Marquis was
traitor to his country, and abandoned her cause
in the moment of her greatest peril.
An article under the title of Upper Peru, men
tons that Senior Mondizabel, who was named
as deputy of the government 10 the United Pro
vinces, has been classed as Minister Plenipo-
tertiary for the governments OF Peru and Co
lombia to the Congress al Panama, and that his
place. as commissioner TO Buenos Ayres, has
been filed by DR.. ID Mariana Serrano, who is
charged especially to present the thanks OF the
general Congress;to the government OF Buenos
Ayres for its generous conduct respecting Up
per Peru, and to offer all the auXiliaries neces-
sary for the war against Brazil This, if true,
is an important item, as ii shows that there is
every prospect Of the South American repub-
lies making common Cause with the government
Of Buenos Ayres in the contest with Brazil.
A considerable part of the liberating army
has encamped on the frontiers OF Brazil, and
respectable body Of cavalry was in march 10 re-
nforce the lines 1t was said that General 30
ivar would also march to the lines at an early
day: bu, this is a mere assertion of the Editor,
as it is pretty generally known that other and
more important interests call him to Colombia,
where his presence is much required to CONSOLE
date the government and confirm the happiness
of the people.
UPPER PERU.
As further proof of the lallacy Of the above
assertion. we shall here translate an article from
the Messenger Of :he eth Of January, in which
the Editor remarks SHAT on the 28th last Dec.
MS excellency the Liberalor, announced to the
Argentine Lega,ion,,' that he was compelled TO
depart shortly for Lima, with the view OF open
ing the Peruvian Congress, which would as
sembe in February, and to give at the same
time an account Of the operations OF his last
campaign-It is said that his Journey will be
short. and that probably he will return by the
month Of May to preside at the opening o. the
Congress Of Upper Peru-ln the mean time Ge-
neral SUcRE has the supreme command OF the
Rev Republic" The Liberator has published
the following
PROCLAMATION.
Cftizeas,-The sacred duty which owe to
the republic, imposes on me the agreeable ne
cessity OF giving an account Of my administra-
ton to the representatives of the people. The

some idea of the political state Of this country
The war, so unjustly declared by the Emperor,

The blockade is now supported by strong
