A clear blue sky, and the cheerfulness o f a vernal sun, drew crowds o f strangers and citizens to the capitol yesterdny to inspect the various articles which gave to the Rotunda the appearance of an European fair. Some splendid speci m ens of cut glass were exhibited from Boston, and a variety of doincstiok L e g horn hats, eq^ual to the finest importa tions, as well as laces o f excellent quali ty— The two Piano Fortes, from New- Yofkjn'vhich were opened yesterday morning, were greatly admired. Mr. M acaiiley sho^ved us a small book of beautiful specimens of oil coloured b aize, for covers for furniture, which were re markable for the brightness and beauty o f their colours. This day, we understand, the goods will be exhibited for the last tim e ; and, as there is an appearance of continued fine weather, there is reason to suppose that the visitors will be still more niiiner^ ous. our arras, Gen. Sucre took his position in Ayachuco, and waited for the enemy. On the 8th inst. the two armies had some skirmishes. On the 9tfr the liberating army was attacked by the enem y, who. had posted hlinself on the heights In front ol dur camp. Gen Valdez, on the vanguard, commanded the right with four field pieces, four battalions, and two squadrons of huzzars-—General Monet commanded the centre, with,five battal ions— and Gen. Villalobos the left, with 7 pieces and 4 battalions. T h e remain der o f the cavalry and o f the Spanish remained in the rear. — Our attack was made in the following order : Gen.

Lamar had, the command o f tile left with the battalions of Peru, and Legions Nos. 1 ,2 , and 3— The division o f Gen. Lara was in reserve. T ile two armies, although unequal in strength, were ardently desirous to fight. The number o f tlie enem y consisted o f about 10,000 and that o f ours 5 ,800. T h e battalions of the second division of Colombia, marched with supported arms, with an intrepidity that has few examples.

The revolutionary wars of Europe, commencing precisely at te® moment when the government of tlie U. Slates first went into operation un der this constitution, excited a collision of sen timents and of sympathies, which kindled all the passions, and embittered the conflict of par ties, till the nation was involved in war, and the union was shaken to its centre. This time of trial embraced a period of five and twenty years, during which, the policy of tee union, in its relations with Europe, constituted the principal basis of onr political divisions, and the most arduous part of the action o f our fed eral government, With the catastrophe in which the wars o f the French revolution ter minated, and our own subsequent peace with Great Britain, this baneful weed of party strife was uprooted. From that time, no difference of principle, connected either with the theory of goyernment, or with onr intercourse with foreign nations, has existed, or been called forth, in force suflicient to sustain a combina tion of parties, or to give more than wholesome animation to publick sentiment, or legislative debate. Our political creed is, without a dis senting voice that can he heard, that the will of the people is Ihe source and the happiness of the people, tlie end of all legitimate govern ment upon earth. That the best security, for the beneficence, and the best guaranty against the abuse of power, consists in the freedom, the purity, and the'frequcncy o f popular elections ‘—That the general government of the union, and the, separate governmtents of the states, are all sovereignties of limited powers; fellow servants of the same masters, uncontrolled within their respective spheres, uncontrollable by encroachmerits upon eabh other— That the firmest security of peace, is tee preparation, during peace, of tbb defences of war.—That a rigorous economy, and accountability o f pub lick expenditures, should guard against the aggravation, and alleviate, when possible, the burden of taxation—That the iriilitarj' should be kept in strict subordination to the civil pow er—That the freedom o f the press and of reli gious opinion should be inviolate-^-That the policy of our country is peace, and the ark of our salvaiton, union, are articles of faith upon which we are all agreed. If there have been those who doubted whether a cohfederated representative democracy were a government competent to the wise and orderly manage ment of the common concerns of a mighty nation, those doubts have been dispelled. If there have been projects of partial confedera cies, to Be erected upon tee ruins of the union, they have been scattored to tee winds. If there have been dangerous attachments to one foreign nation, and antipathies against anoth er, they havefreemextingu ished- T e a years of peace, at home and abroad, have assuaged the pnimosities of political eonterition, and blended into harmony the most discordant el ements of publick opinion.
