Very satisfactory account...
Very satisfactory accounts of the state of the Independent cause in Peru were received on Saturday. According to let- ters from Lima of the 231 of January, and accounts from I>P*NA .9MIitnry councilhad been held of the officers of the army of CANTARAC, the Spanish Gene. ral, at which the resolution was adopted, in the event of the fall of the Constitutional cause in Spain, not to acknow- ledge the Government of the " Absolute King." An officer was subsequently despatched for Lima, as was supposed, with proposals to Congress for an arrangement for peace. The reply of the Congress was said to be, that the Govern- ment could not enter into any treaty without consulting General BoLIVAR. A communication afterwards took place with the General, whowasin head-quarters at Pitivilca, when the Conde de ST. DONAS was appointed to bonvey an an- swer to the message of the Spanish General. It was supposed that Commissioners would be named immediately, to bring the matter to an amicable issue. In the department of the Isthmus of Panama, recently annexed to the Republic of Colombia, the best spirit prevails. On a report that a French force was to be landed at Panama from the vessels of war in the Pacifl, the male population all took up arms. Upwards of 6,000 militia turned out, and a general muster took place at Chorena, a small town in the department of the Isthmus, when men of all ages presented themselves as volunteers, to be enTolled for the general defenice.
