XVI. on his throne. If they had remained in the country, they would have kept in check that insurrectionary spirit which grew ferocious beyond control, when those who should have fought against it to the last were the first to fly before it. The Royalist forces raised at different times by some high-spirited individuals, in Poitou, in Brittany, and in Anjou, sufficiently showed what might have been done, had the Nobles, whose selfish and Miscalculating policy led them to emigrate, been governed by manlier feelings, and leagued themselves, as they might and ought to have done, to the fate and fortunes of the monarchy. No body of men ever put forward a claim to indemnity with less title to have it granted. Messrs. DE ViLtete anti D Co ant /RES have contrived, by means of bribery, chicane, and intrigue, to secure a majority of the Deputies; but in what will this effective alliance Letween the Ministry and the emigrants end? They have already introduced all the evils of faction into the Government. M. DS VILLELL, though without any great powers of mind, is not wanting iu sagacity, and has a fair share of foresight ; lie is well aware that the great body of proprietors will not listen to any talk of res:itution ; he feels the weight of their power to be very heavy in the scale against him, and that the instant his movements indicate anything like a determined hostility, he will be found too weak to defend himself either by stratagem or force, and his fall from pow:r is certain. Among those very emigrants who so importunately prefer their claims of compensation, there arc a considerable number now in France, who, having served in foreign corps, raised in England, and employed by us during the revolutionary war, are, at this moment, receiving half pay from our Government, as Lieutenants and Captains; as Colonels and Marechala de Camp, they are receiving fall pay in France, or are holding the most lucrative civil appointments. We know that many thousand persons, long employed in the different departments of the State, have been dismissed, and reduced to absolute want, while the vacancies thus created have been given to the emigrant party, whose pretensions seem to increase in arrogance with every additional concession made to satisfy them.  The important intelligence reached town yesterday, that the Spanish General CAN TA RAC has been completely defeated by Bouvaa, on the plains of Jauja, or Xauxa, as it is indifferently written in the loose Spanish orthography. The contest, it appears, was of the most sanguinary character, the two Generals having given orders, previous to the battle, to spare none. For four hours the bayonets on each aide did their murderous work without intermission. Finally the Royalists were driven from the field, after sustaining a less of 6,200 men. Boxt VA R himself has had 4,000 of his faithful veterans killed. Never before were the plains of America so drenched with human blood. The victory is decisive of the fate of South America. Bortvoir is marching with his utmost rapidity towards Cuzco, where be hopes to surprise the Viceroy Loszaxo, who is there 1 reposing in fancied security. The last intelligence we had heard of CANTAR•C was, that he had fortncd a junction with the Viceroy at Andaguaylas. As Jauja is northward of Huanta, the head-quarters from which Bo LIV•R'S despatches, announcing the skirmish at Junin, were dated, it is probable that the Colombian warrior had induced the Spanish Generals to separate by falling back hastily, and having thus drawn CANTA sac alone after him into the snare, he had turtlesl round on his pursuers, and destroyed them.  This news, to interesting and valuable at this moment, when the attention of Europe is particularly fixed on the New World, was brought to Liverpool on Monday by the Flora, from Buenos Ayres, which she left on the 14th of November. When she was about to sail, a deputation of the inhabitants came after her in a boat, and requested the Captain to wait one hour, as the mail had just arrived from Valparaiso with the joyful intelligence of the entire overthrow of the Spaniards in Peru. The following extract from a Mendoza paper of the 28th of October, gives the substance of this information : NEWS FROM PERU, Communicated from the city of Santiago by Senor Don Juar de Dios Vial del Rio.
