JULY 13.—The following is a cur sory view of the state of the public affairs in Peru up to the Bth of April, 18112 : Lnia.—General La Scrna is at Janja -with up. wards of 6,000 men. Since Canterac came down in September last, and in his precipitate retreat has lost more than 1,000 men, the greater part of which has passed over to the army of Peru : and in conse quence of which he has not made any other attempt against Liras. From this city there have been de tached 3,000 men, under the command of Don Do mingo Tristan,.for Arequipa, where they are sup posed to be at present. Their object is to protect that province against General Rewires. The re mainder of the troops of the line, amounting to 10,000 strong, have been sent out of the capital and cantoned in several passes of the mountains; the said capital being garrisoned by the town militia, of which several regiments have been lately formed. The Protector being about to depart fur Guaya quil, to have an interview with Bolivar, intrusted the Marquis of Torre Tagle with the supreme com mand. Having arrived at Truxillo, he was in formed that Bollivar would not come in a long time: in consequence of which he returned to Lima, but let the Marquis continue in the command. The European Spaniards were ordered by public edicts to take the oath of allegiance to this country, or to depart front it, with permission to take along with them their property. Those who would not profit by this offer, nor have been willing to be na turalised, have been obliged to quit the country by force, and to leave one half of their property for the benefit of the state ; which has chartered a tw ee' to carry away such as are unable to pay their passage. Those who have rendered particular ser vices, the valetudinarians, and persons of 60 years of age, are excepted. There have been many, how cyst., who preferred to become Americans; and in (steer to remain in the country, have applied for nut uraliaation. The expences of it amount to 25 dollars, out :he poor are furnished with it gratis. I have already applied fur one for Aguibar, as his agent, setting forth his services. The Archbishop of Lima asked fur his passport, and went to Spain. The Bishop of Truxil:o was obliged to quit the country, and the same has happened to the Bishop of (ivamanga, in consequence of his having refused to issue a pastoral letter. Din Xavier Cchague, 1). 1). Dean of the Church, is nominated fur the Archbishopric; Father Don Segundo Carrion, fur the Bishopric of Truxiilo, and Father Jose Arrieta, for that of Guamanga. Don Juan Garcia del Ili s. as Envoy to the Foreign Curses, is the bearer of this appointment to Rome. In consequence of the flight of Don Jose Aris• :moth from Lima, many persons have been ruined; amongst them is Leguerica, who lust's 90,000 dol lars. He died of consumption at Miraflores, on the 4th of March. General Arenales is Governor at Truxillo. Exudero and Juan Antonio were elected illcailes at Purrs. The first governs the place. in stead of Col. Salta Crux, who is gone to the help of the Colombians, at the head of 1,500 incti col lected here. The Congress of Peru were to meet on the Ist of May. A committee was selected at Lima to draw up the constitution, and to report the progress thereon in Congress; but they having asked ' f)r longer time, the meeting of Congress was postponed. The Eliza arrived oil the 10th inst. from New Orleans, the captain of which reports, that nee •:. had reached New Orleans that the Spaniards were driving the Americans oat of the Texas Country, without discrimination. This is highly probable, when we consider the state of the revolution and violent commotion existing in the Nlexican Empire, by the last advices from that country ; and thus probably may terminate the extraordinary experi ment of colonising, under a monarchial sovereignty, with men born free and reared in the enjoyment of republican right.
