 htitreestiag f.oin Eiima. =. Letters from Lima state that the army of salaverry, the .nsurper and soi-disant Napoleon of South America, has been completely routed, and Salaverry taken prisoner while attempting to make his way 10 the sea coast There were under his command 25,000 men, while his opponent Santa Cruz had ori!y e,0oo.-- Salaverry yielded after battle of7 days, The slaughter was terrible. Santa Cruz acknowledged that he had lost 600 men. He behaved with courage at his last mo- ments. He was shof by d guard of his own countrymen: pursuant 10 hls request. He ordered them to fire, and they obeyed his orders. About 100 of his officers were or dc.cd :o hard hard ssbbes ;n chains on the pnhlic works of Peru. So ends. one more of the series of bloody instructions that dcsolate the anarchical Independencies of South America.

sumult vas made, and being himself ihrea- tened with violence, he was compelled to retle from the place and leave the enrared multitude to do their work. All was done "ltn the utmost delibesation and system, and an awful stiffness pervaded the scene, broken only by the sound of the implements employed In demollshing the prison doors. nose who have read Seoi's description Of the fortens' mob as given in the Heart of Mid Loihian, will have m accurate idea of the manner of proceeding at the iail on Thursday night. All was sill men snolte to each other in whispers, but it was wbis- per which nude the blood eurdle to hear if. and indicated the awful energy of purpose with which they were bent upon sacrifrina
 the life of their intended victim. Armed persons were stationed as guards to protect those engaged in breaking down the doors.
 At length between eight and nine o'clock at night, the cell of the wretch was reach ed. Loud shouts of execraiion and triumph rent the air, Us he was dragged forth, and hurried away 10 the scene of the burnt sa- crifeel Some seized him by the hair. some by the arms and legss and in this way he was carried to large locust tree in the rear of the towni, riot far from the iail. He was then chained to the tree with his back against It's trunk and facing 10 the soulh Ihe wood, consisting of rails, plank, &c. was then piled up before him, about as high as hls knees, shavings and brand were brought, and the fire kindled
 Up 10 this time, as We have been inform ed, Mcintosh uttered not q word; but when the fire had seized upon it's victim, he beg ged that some one in the crowd would shoot him. He then eommenced singing hymn and trying to pray. Afterwards he hung hls head and suffered in siemcei until rous- ed by some one saying that he must be ai- ready out of his misery.--upon this, though wrapped in flames, aud though the fire had obllterated the features of humanity, he ras- ed his head, and spoke out distinctly, say ing, s'No, no; feel as much as any of you all shoot me- shoot me-" He was burning about twenty minutes, before life became extinct.
 But tue tale of depravity and woe is not yet told. Afier. the crowd had somewhat dispersed, a rabble of boys who had attend- ed 10 witness the horrid rites, commenced amusing themselves by throwing stones nj the black and disfigured corpse, as il stood chained tosthe tree.

 The Ss. Louis Observer gives the follow. r ing particular description of the execution oi M lntosh, on Thursday the 28th ult., from eye witnesses
 tn the afternoon of Thursday, the eSth ult., an aflray between two sailors or boat men took place on the steamboat landing. MT. George Hammond, Deputy sheriff; and Mir. William Null deputy constable, in the discharee of their official duty, atfen,pied-. 10 arrest the boatmen, for breach of the peace. In so doing they were set upon by mulatto fellow, by the name of Francis J. M'lntosh; who had just arrived in the city as cook on board the steamboat Flora from Pittsburg. In cohseqnence the boat men escaped, and Mcintosh was arrested for his interference with the officers. He was carried before Patrick Walsh, Esq. a Justice of the peace for this county, and by him committed to jail and delivered to the same officers to be taken thither. On his way lie inquired what his punishment would be, and being told that if would pot be less
 than five years imprisonment in the States Prison, he immediately broke loose from the officers, drew long knife and made desperate blow at MT. Null, but fortunate l y missed him. Unfortunately, however, a second blow, aimed with the same savage violence, had better success, and struck MT. Null in the right side, and wounded him severely. He was then seized by the shoulder by MT. Hammond, whereat he turned and stabbed him in the neck. The knife struck the lower part of the chin and passed deeply into the neck, cutting the ljugulat vein and the larger arteries. Mr. Il. turned from his murderer, walked about sixty steps, fell and expired MT. M. al- though dangerously wounded, was able to pursue the murderer who had fled, until his cries alarmed the people in the vicinity = They turned ou. and ,v;;hotit much difficulty secured the blood-thirsty wretch and lodged him in iaii.
 The bloody deeds of which Mcintosh bad been guilty soon became known through the city and crowds collected at the spot, ~s,Sss ii ;..s .scod;, e M. Hammond ley rseI- tering in its blood. The excitement was intense; and soon might be heard above the tuinult the voices of few cxhorfing the multitude to .ake suaar,ary vengeance. The plan and process of proceeding were soon resolved upon. A mob was immedia- tely organized and went forward to the jail ] in search of their victim. The sheriff, Mr.. Brotherton, made some attempts to oppose fhelr illegal violence. Apprehensive for the fate of his family. who occupied portion Of the jail building, he then retired taking them along with him to place of safety. Another of our fellow citizens courageously attempted to reason with the angry mob, and 10 stay them from their fearful proceed ings.

 You will be gratifed by. a description of Santa Ana's person. His forehead is high, but narrow in front; spreading as 1t extends back obliquely-hair moderately black--small whiskers, a little mixed with grey. Theskin wrinkles on the lower part of his forehead as he eievates his eyes to speak He has large, mild, black eyes--his nose is narrow between the eyes, but IS tolerably strait, and becomes aeshy towards the end. His mouth IS nothing extraordinary, the upper ftp aci5i Proi ing one of his upper front teeth IS gone his under jaw is long; His countenance is anil mated when speaking, His complexion is q little tawny but he shows more of the Moor ish than the Mexican tincture.

His age IS forty one.
