FROM BUENOS AYRES.--Papers to Aug. 3d, from Buenos Ayres, have been received here. The assembly of the four provinces of Upper Peru had met at Chuquisaca. General Bolivar, at Arequipa May 16th, issued a decree, which is commented on in the Buenos Ayres Argos as a violent attack upon the rights of the four provinces of Upper Peru. In this decree he orders that the General Assembly of the Provinces shall meet conformably with the order of the Grand Marshal of Ayacucho General Sucre, to express freely their wishes upon their interests and Government-- that the deliberations of this Assembly shall have no efficacy until the installation of the new Congress of Peru the next year; that in the mean time the four provinces shall remain subject to the immediate authority of the Grand Marshal of Ayacucho, General in Chief of the Liberating Army--that the resolution of the Congress of Peru of the 23d of February last, shall be fully carried into effect--and that the Provinces of Upper Peru shall acknowledge no other centre of authority now, nor until the installation of the next Peruvian Congress, than the Supreme Government of the Peruvian Republic.
