From the Commander in Chief of tn. Armies

By the enclosed newspaper Of Lima, which

army Of the South, under the orders Of Gen.
| Gamaira, was OH the I'd OF May, murching to
| invade that republic, and by the enclosed copy
of manifesto of the com. gen. of department of
Guayaouil, your Excellency will see tina, the
army Of the North Of Peru, commanded by
Gen. Lamar in person, was 10 open the cam
paien against this part OF the Republic, at the
same time The feet was TO blockade Guayaquil.
However Irregular and scandalous the contluc,
of the government of Peru may seem, have
nc, hesi,aled one moment in believing that it
is an attempt in earnest upon our county,
Besides that in Peru there is no moral princi
pie nor regard to the laws generally received.
This proceeding with regard 10 Bolivia, gives
reason to fear all which can be done by an in
sdious rival, who, leaning on the law Of nations,
commits acts which they and all the world
condemn. In consequence Of all This. and ex'
p.cting every day 20 open the campaign, am
about to take all The measures that my al
| shall suggest, for the service of my country,
and the glory of His Excellsncy, the Liberia
tor, by which Colombia may get new aurels,
and her enemies be made always 10 lamen, in
tears Of blood, the temerity Of becoming The
antagonists Of the tonqucroIs Of their conque-
rors.
