REVOLUTION IN PERU.

We have received, from an authentic sourc e,
the following particulars respecting the revou-
ton in Peru, which took place in August last.
General Torrico, supported by the military,
deposed President Menendez, and took posses
sion Of the Government, styling himself "Cbiei
of the Nation" This act of violence was con,
summated very quickly and quietly. There was
no bloodshed, no tumult, no resistance Two
or three persons were arrested, but they were
soon released, and there have not been any ex-
pulsions, which is rather extraordinary. So
far, Torrico, has astonished every body by his
moderation He has gone to the South with
his army TO put down General Vidal, who has
also proclaimed himself "Supreme Chief at
Cuzco. La Fuente seems to have been set
aside by the Southern army The Government
at Lima, is, at present, composed Of Prov-
sonal Executive and Minister General.

Impressed, as we are, with the necessity OF
economizing our means and outstanding our re-
sources, we are yet convinced that the reduc-
ton of our naval force is not the etiectual mode
of doing IT, The saving Of a few hundred dol
lars, would be poor compensation for giving up
the dominion Of the seas To the maritime pow
ers of Europe, or ia allowing our commerce,
along our maritime wat, RS, TO be harrassed and
plu ldered. A far more Important saving, as
well as more lasting benefit to the nation, would
be effected by the adoption of these plans, and
following up these improvements which the
head Of the Navy Department has suggested in
his report. As attainable objects, We are will
ling to persuade ourselves that their adoption
would be productive Of great present saving,
and, what is much more important, would rem
der the service more efficient.
No writers are rewarded with larger share
of envable celebrity than those who address
themselves to the understandings of general
readers-who investigate truths, develope prn-
ciples, and convey instruction. in that popular
style, and that plain, expressive language, which
all read with pleasure, and comprehend with
| ease. II is grateful to those whom indo-
lence indisposes TO great exertions, and consola-
| tory to those who mistrust their mental powers,
| to perceive the path of Information made plain,
easy and practcable-to find distractions re-
moved and intricacies unrayelled to see the abb
struse and lofty theme brought within the scope,
and lowered to the level of common understand
ings.
In beautiful passage of Euripides, Medea
is introduced; expressing her surprise, tina,
amidst such multitude of inventions, the arl
of persuasion, the mistress of human persuasion,
should alone have been neglected. This ne
glect cannot be imputed to Mr.. Upshur. Ii
might be difficult TO mention a writer who has
recommended TO the public taste more solid sense
and important principles, calculating the condi-
ton and operations of portion of the public
service OF the country, by conveying them I'M
der an attractive form, than the Secretary Of
the Navy. 1t would be difficult TO select from
the pens Of his predecessors a production
so just and beautiful as this, so accurate and
profound, so captivating and enlightened, sc
enriched with the refnements of an elegant die
ton, so condensed summary of principles, and
so elaborate discussion Of the minute details
of the Department over which he preside, with
so much credit to himself and honor to his coun.
try.

THE TREATY-BREAKERS

There are one or two weekly papers of very
moderate circulation in Maine that endorsed the
Globes (Mr. Benton's) opposition to the Trea.
ty. The Daily Portland Argus, the most iuflu-
entail Democratic paperin Maine, defended the
Treaty-and the Globe has issued orders to put
it down." But the People won't let il be ex-
communicated The Bentonian papers alluded
to are cursing it heartily-but still the People
uphold it,
We see by the Western papers, last received,
that Mr. Benton, during his late visit to Mis-
souri, omitted no opportunity to denounce Pre-

recognised, but that fugitives from justice who
have been guilty of misdemeanor, arson, fe.-
Globe or Mr. Benton mean TO assert that the
"heroic patriot, Lord Edward Fitzgerald
was guilty Of 'murdern " arson" " felony,n or
any such crime2 We defend him from such
an imputation. Neither Lord Edward Fitzge-
Iald, nor the gallant band Of men engaged in
the first struggle for freedom, deserve the dis
credit of having their names written by the pen
of the cold and calculating and crafty editor Of
the Globe, for rather Mr.. Benton himself l.
They were men of liberal and generous sen,l-
menls, gentlemen and freemen at heart and in
soul, and their names are respected and venera-
ted by all who honor bravery and merit, and love
liberty They were no "murderers, or
"thieves," or ..feons," though the editor of the
Globe, for the purpose of producing hoped for
political effect, has dared, though family, TO
disturb the sacred repose Of their ashes, by
awakening such thought in connection with
their history. The Irish are a wam-hearted,
generous people, but they possess good sense
and as discriminating minds as any other por-
ton Of our population, and are not 10 be tricked
and deceived by shallow device which hides a
deadly insult under hypocritcal veil Of sym
pathy and interest.
While we are replying to the Globe, We will
say word in reference to another editorial in
the same paper headed "More of The Indivi-
sibility" 1t seems that the Globe is at last
brought somewhat TO its senses. The other
day it simply opposed the President on the
Exchequer proposition" Now, Democracy
cannot sustain the President, because it cannot
coalesce with Messrs. Webster and Spencer. We
have thought that Democracy advocated "prin-
ciples, not men," What principle, or what
measure, in this Administration, can any hon
est candid, patriotic Democrat object to? Is it
to be made a subject of regret, that Mr..
Webster suslains the Administration on its
will not have the hardwood seriously to assert
that any other power is felt in the administra-
ton OF the Government, except the wishes and
principles of President Tyler. And if Mr.
Webster sustains President Tyler against the as
saults of Clay Federalism, is il, forsooth, to
constitute reason for the abuse of the Admin
istiaton by the Globe2 Perhaps Clayism, in
It's late alliance with the Intelligencer, does not
appear SO bad, SO very bad, in the eyes of the
Globe, as formerly. We shall see But sup
pose every man were judged BY his old opin-
IONS how could the Globe and Mr.. Benton

The following has been handed US by a
Democrat Of as high standing and as much in
fluence as Mr.. Benton.
THAT VERACIOUS SHEET
Mr.. Benton has made speech Of forty eight
columns in length, now being published in the
Globe; and precisely as if the Senate had not
been bored to death by it, mercilessly reject
ing, at every step, his advice and amendments
to the Treay by the most decisive votes We
have the same windy concern vamped up and
presented now TO the country, sustained by bal
derdash editorials in the Globe newspaper. Mr.
Benton cannot escape the imputaton of having
moved a resolution, after being defeated by the
good sense OF the Senate at every point, in his
attempts to amend the Treaty, which amounted
to a declaration af ,rar, in the secret session
OF the Senate, while the terms of the Treaty
amicably arranged by the British Minister and
Secretary of State, uere actually under con-
sutdtion. This is the worst feature of his life,
and it will stick to him like the poisoned shirt of
Nessus. Beside his own vote, there was but
one other 10 sustain this outrageous proposition.
And this man, with his coadju f. p Blair of
tue w dsninSton OiODe, sustained In tneIr unpa-
trioIc course by a minority of one, are now
debating the subject of the Treaty TO the
Republican party, reading this Senator and that
Senator out of the party by single naughty
word. You are after catching the bear Mr..
Benton-beware lest the bear catch you.
As an evidence of the desperation Of the
Gobe-ior nothing but the desperation of a
sinking concern could lead to such shameless
misD presentations--we here extract a paragraph
from the Saturdays paper. 1.-THE part Of the
speech (Benton's) which relates to the delivery
Of fugitives from justice, shows that this is
new edition of jays Treaty made worse.
The same under which Jonathan Robinson as
given up and hanged and that the patriots or
"rebes" who may fly from Canada, Ireland, or
any part OF the British dominions, or any of its
ships, all over the world, may be reclaimed and
executed. II is known that the heroic patriot,
Lord Edward Fitzgerald, might have been Civ
en- up under this treaty, if it had been in force,n
&c &c.
Now, since the Treaty expressly de-

We learn from the Charleston Mercury that
Mr.. Calhoun is a candidate for the Presidency,
and for this he retres from the Senate after
the 4th of March. The Mercury also entertains
the belief that it will not be necessary for Ma

From this report we learn that the discussing
and accounting officers, connectJd with this De-
partment, have performed their duties in salts
factory manner; and there has been no msap-
plicaton or squandering of money.
We cannot omit the present opportunity Of
noticing the able and judicious remarks of the
Secretary in regard to the necessity and expedi-
ency of creating higher grades of official dis
tinction. If it would not lead US into too prolix
discussion, we should incline TO enter on the
task of enumeratng the advantages resulting
from the establishment Of such discrimination
from this topic, and hasten to the conclusion OF
an article already extended beyond the limits
which we originally intended.
One part, however, of the report Of the Secre-
tary, and very important one, will, no doubt,
receive the appreciation Of Congress--it is the
revision Of the civil affairs Of the Navy on The
theory and practice of ship building. The re-
marks Of the Secretary unfold much useful in
formation.
From the glance which we have taken of
the naval force, as well as from its various en-
pIoyment, it may not appear quite so evident
that we should begin to economze with the
Naval Department that is, with the professional
and military part Of it, in which, we will ven-
ture to assert, fewer abuses, and better systems
of economy, exist, than in any other great pub
lie body whatever. To the numerous and high
y meritorous class of officers in the naval ser
vice, by whose exerlions the discipline aud eco
nomy of the several squadrons have reached the
highest point of perfection, every attention and
respect are due. Fatal indeed would be the de-
fusion which should tempt Congress to reduce
the Navy, and transfer our reliance for protec-

The New York Express says: " The
Secretary Of the Treasury has not been
forced to throw into the market any OF
the United States six per cent. loan, or TO
require the sale Of treasury notes. The
Government is, in fact, receiving double
revenue. The bonds taken prior to the

lies TO be paid in specie, are falling due.
These, with the payment Of cash for du-
ties on imported goods, make pretty
