MeadQnarJers, ..dug, 1824. To Dr. Don Jose Sauchez Carrion, Min- . isler of Stale for Peru— Sir—After the .events of the 6 th, at Junin, the enemy continued to retreat.-^ At the present time they have lost six provinces, and^more than half their for ces so that according to^all accounts receivedh.y his Excellency, the enemy’s army is reduced to 2500 or 3000 men, broken, and without any moral. In proportion-as our advahcCd- corps ap proach the. enem y, they retreat, so that it is impossible to follow with the pre cipitation with which they fly. We have already taken large quantities of military stores, and hope h ereafter to take more. The liberating army is daily' augmented by deserters from the enemy. The viceroy has formed a junction with Can- terac, in Annahuyalas, having only his guard of halberdiers. General Valdez is nearer to Potosi, observing with 2 or 3000men Gen. Olaneta, who isin Tupisa with 4000. By the proclamation of the former, we have recent, information that Gen. Olaneta has declared for the cause of independence, and that he is operating in combination, with the patriots of Salta. One of our corps marching from Hunan- cavelica to Huamenge, took 472 new English muskets, and a considerable num ber of munitions of war, conring from lea to Huancayo, in charge of Lieut. Col. .Don Ramoq Dias, who is made prisoner. Oar vanguard entered Huamange five days ago, and some of its corps 'are ob serving, -and pursuing the enemy close ly. ' To-morrow his Excellency will be in this city. By various officers of the enemy’s army who have passed here, and from persons recently from Cuzco, important details have been ascertained respecting the situation of the enemy.— Confiding in these, and in the .means which he has taken to destroy thena at one blow, his Excellency desires me to assure you, that whatever be the final combinations of the Spanish chiefs, what ever their hopes, the liberty of Peru shall be completed this year, and irrevoca bly COufirtiiecI by the Hberatiug army.— I have particular pleasure in assuring you that every where His Excellency is re ceived with demonstrations expressive of gratitude and joy, and that the troops are succoured With an alacrity, that leaves nothing to be desired. His Ex-’ cellency prays you to have this' commu- hicatidn circulated among the authorities of the country, in order that all may be impressed with the good results which will accrue from.the sacrifices roade for the liberty &hd Independence of Peru.

Smith, offered tlie following pre amble and resolution, .which lie on the table : - , .Whereas, a reference of the choice of a chief magistrate, in the event of an un fortunate and much to the deprecated in decision by the electoral colleges, is di rected by the federal constitution, to the house of representatives, created in a spirit of compromise and concession into an electoral tribunal of unequal sove-. Feignties, as the least exceptionable aft ternative, it ought nottobe disguised that such a resort would be an essential aban donment ofthe democratic principles of a representative government and 'if vol untarily made a direct violation and sac rifice, of the wisdom of experience.— And whereas, the determination of this important question by the representa tives of the people, in their electoral colleges, rvould prevent the painful repe- tion of the difficulties,'embarrassments, and intrigues which endangered the sta bility ofthe confederatroijpf the contest ed election of 1801, and preserve to the state ofNew-Y^ork the influence to which it is justly entitled; bestowing upon the chief magistrate'thus selected, the confi dence of the n.ntion, the respect of for eign powers, and to ou.r .publiG councils harmony, integrity, firmness and wis dom. Therefore be it resolved, as the sense of this house that it rvould be desirable, and is consequently recommended to the presidential electors os New-Yoik, to vote for such candidate its with their sup port wjli in all reasonable probability be elected by the electoral colleges. The bill relative to t'Ue- Lackawaxen canal company, passerl. iq committee of the whole. The committee of the wiiole was’ sometime engaged pn the bill for the pay ment of cermin notes given by Myron Flolley, as treasurer ofthe canal commm- sloners, when they rose and reported.—-- [The amount directed by this bill to be paid, is about ^ 17 \ 000 .] At 12 o’clock. Wm. J, Caldwell was again arraigned at the bar of the House, when the letter, addressed by him to the chairman.bf the Committee appointed to investigate the Chemical Bank business ^eoJareptobeelecl- of a. hfimber br.wi.lnesses were given tfi L? .i._ committee, and what they would probably testify to, they being in the re mote part of the stsffe, aud.not summon ed to appear as I was informed. I did consider myself justifiable in declining to testify under the circumstances, as my testimony, I presume, would^not agree with those implicated\ I had-tip rea-. son to believe ffiat witnesses in corrObdra- tion of-my testimony would be summon ed or testify before the comi^ittee. I have’learnt', however,that yesterday, a joint committee of the Senate and As sembly are about proceeding^in the in vestigation of tlie means made use of to obtain the charter of the Chemical Bank, and i am assured by the Hon. John Su- dam, chairman of the said joint commit tee, that it is intended to make a tho rough investigation into that subject; and under this belief, I have concluded to submittoan examination before the com mittee. With respect to the letter addressed by me to the Hon. John C. Ti^otsdn, it was not my intention to cornmit any con tempt againts this house, or to charge the Assembly, as a body, with corrup tion. In the letter to the Hon. Mr. Til- lotson, I expressed ajjiere abstract opin ion, derived from' various sources and considerations, and I Cannot believe that this house will consider me guilty 6f contempt when none was intended, for the expression of an opinion. I have not charged the house with corruption, and never meant 'to m'ake that charge.— A number of verbal 'questions were put by members, and answers given ; but which did not vary the state of the case : When the bouse adopted a resolution that Mr. Caldwell be delivered to the goaler of the ^ityand county of Albany for safe keepipg til! the further order of the house; and he was delivered over accordingly. Mr. Morss asked leave of absence for the remainder of the session, for Messrs. Wheaton Pierson and Drake from New- York, wholefttowh for home this.morn ing, but who had requested'him to put the question to the house. The House refused leave,. The joint committee appointed to in vestigate the transactions of the Chem ical Bank, were engaged on Thursday and Friday in that duty. Mr. Caldwell frankly answered all the questions put to him—but was yet in custody. Mr. Tallmadge stated in the House, that as he bad been guilty of a gross libel on the house, he ought, at the bar, to make an apology, before he was discharged. The governor approved'of the follow ing bills : T 0 amend the act to organize the militia. Relative to the foreclosure of mort- gages. Taxing lusurance Companies not au thorized by the law of this state. . Relative to Common Schools In New- York. In the House, the bill to provide for the payment of certain notes given by Myron Holley as Canal Commissioner, was lost, ayes 70, noes 21.

Editortor. .—The following is I will be recollected that this is the first .vessel sheathed with leather. • We learn Mr. Edi —The following is a birief Statistical view of the United States. Being somewhat interested in matters of this de- sortptiqn, and having devoted much time to the subject, I present it you for publica tion. - A viewof the.present resources and con dition, of the United Slates is here presented, ’ which must be interesting to every person, on account of the unprecedented accumu lation of her wealth and population. The American'Government exercises dominion over a country more extensive, and one that will support more inhabitants than any other nation upon earth., The Sun is four hours in its passage from the time it first shines upon the Eastern shores of Maine until it strikes our waters on the Pacific: It is about four months in passing through the latitudes of the United States* in her northern and southern declina tion, embracing six varieties of climates.^— The United States contain twelve hundred million acres of land, of which we may cal culate that one fifteenth part of it is cultiva ted. Estimating then the improved land atten dollars per acre, reckoning it at eigh ty million acres, ilamounts to eight hundred million dollars ; and the unimproved land at threedollars j>er acre, will amount to the sum ofthree thousand three hundred and sixty million dollars, which makes, in the whole, for the landed wealth, four thousand one hundred and sixty miiiibn dollars. The live stock, consisting of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs, will, calculating the cattle at one hundred and twenty million dollars, the horses atone hundred million, and the sheep and hogs a t eighty, million more,, produce an •a g g r e g a t e o f t h r e e h u n d r e d m illion d o l l a r s ; two million of, bujldiDgs,make, at four hun dred dollars each, eight hundred miUion'dol- lars. The whole ofthe exports ofthe United States are' seventy-four millions—ofthe im ports, seventy^seven rnillious—tonnage, in foreign and coasting trade, one million two hundred thousand tons. The comtnerce of the United States is extended over the whole world; from the barren coasts of Labrador, to New-HoUand, the South (3ea Islands, China; India, the continents of Africa and Europe—from the north west region-of A- mcrica to tlie isles in the Pacific, Cape HoVn and the West Indies. The capital invested in banks, insurances, government stock, manufactures, roads, ca nals, and loans, exceed eight hundred mil lions of dollars ; that invested in foreign and domestic trade, five hundred millions, which with the former eight hundred millions, to gether with slaves, furniture and imple ments of husbandry, will equal the sum of two hundred mil'ions. The produce ofagriculUirc,manufactures, commerce, professional business, labor, and revenue, makes five hundred millions ; and the whole amount of national w e a lth, eight thousand seven hundred and sixty millions of dollars 1 ! . . The population of the United States is now twelve millions, which vvith the rate of increase, for the past, will double in 23 3 'ears. In 1843 the population will be twenty millions. In 1U6G, thirty six mil lions. lo 1890, se v e n ty tw o . million.^.— There is now to every hundred acres of land, one person ; and when the population a mounts to seventy two millions, the.-e will b e tw o so u l s t o e v e r y h u n d r e d , w h ich , w ill be in the whole juat equal to tlie present p o p u latio n o f M a s s a c h u s e tts.

Mr. .Speaker opened the debate with a further expression of his views in sup port of the proposition from the senate, to submit the question to the decision of the people. Mr, Cunningham gave bis reasons for a change of his opinion from- a general ticket to a district b ill; and for his sup port of the substitute of Mr. Mullet. Mr. Mullet said that the reason why he pronounced the |wopo,sition of the senate an insult, was because he suppos ed it contained, among other modes sub mitted to the people, a choice “ by the le gislature.” He had since discovered that the, words were stricken out of the amendments. . Mr. Tallmadge expressed his views in opposition to the amendments of the sen ate. Not because he_ feared to submit any question to the people, but because it was linnecessary. It was not required m tins case, any more than in any ordina- case oflegislation. Mr. Waterman reolied to the argu- mjBnts of the gentleman from' Dutche.ss; and supported in a speech of some length,, and with great.ability,the amend ments ofthe senate.

The principal im provement claimedby the inventors is in the boiler, or in the method of gener ating sfeam, and the consequent advanta ges of their invention over the engines now in use will be a great saving of fuel, the occupation of less space, difference in weight, first cost of engines, and secu rity against bursting.

Return of Citizen Gram-iUe to Haytl. -^A letter from the corresponding Sec-' retaiy of the Hayfien Emigration Socie ty, at New-Yorlc, to the Editor of the Genius of tFniversal Emancipation, at Baltimore, dated Nov. 13th, states as follows : “ Citizen J. Granville, to our great disappointment, will sail w’e expect to morrow, for Samana, without affording us the-pleasure of a parting adieu. -He has experienced so much turmoil from -the abundant cares of ins mission in Phili'delpliia, that we have, had but little epistolary correspondence with him.— Eighteen vessels have sfiiled, and are about sailing from Philadelphia, which will carry to Hayti about 2000 individu als ; and, as far as we can understand, nearly the whole weight of the bnsino,ss. relative- to'their embarkation, has fallen upon him.

T h e acco u n ts from Oliio are very contradictory. Some say th.at Jackson, and some that Ciay lias the majority. In North Carolina it is said the Jackson ticket has prevailed.
