Herald Of The Valley

By an arrival on the 7th Sept. at Guadaloupe from Guayaquil, the important intelligence was received, that La Serna, Viceroy of Peru, had declared himself independent of Spain, and a division of his army was within a day's march of Lima.--San Martin is very unpopular at Lima and generally so through the country; he will now undoubtedly be compelled to leave it.--Pisco was in possession of La Serna's troops, where a division of San Martin's army had been defeated, previously to its occupation by La Serna's troops. No doubt may now be entertained of the ultimate emancipation and independence of Peru; La Serna being very popular, and in possession of all the interior country.
