We received intelligence by the SCH SDleudjd
which published on Tuesday last that peace had
been concluded between Colombia and Perm and
were yesterday obigingy favoured with a Janaca
paper OF the 18TH uit containing the Convention en-
tered into by these powers the 9th Fob last at
Jiron to serve as the basis of dcfnitive treaty of
peace, and approved by the Colombian General Sucre
and by the President Of Peru, De La Mar on the a.
March. The principal articles of the Convention
are those which declare that neither power shall
interfere with the government of the other that the
independence OF the Bolivian Republic is acknowl-
edged that the Peruvian army shall the sniI
OF Colombia within twenty days, that the plcnpoteu
tlaries on both sides shall meet at Guayaou in Nav
10 form detnitve treaty of alliance against all for
eign rvasions and lastly, that the blockade arnust
the Colombian ports shall cease on the day on which
the commissioners shall meet at GayeGu to settle
