486 APPENDIX. 



The violation of all the promises made in these proclamations by San 

 Martin, produced that spirit of disgust against him which forced him to fly 

 from Lima. It is curious, that within a very few days of his flight, the fol- 

 lowing address to Lord Cochrane was sent by the new government of 

 Lima : — 



" The Sovereign Constituent Congress of Peru, 



" In consideration of the services rendered to Peruvian freedom by the 

 Right Honourable the Lord Cochrane, — owing to whose genius, worth, and 

 bravery, the Pacific is freed from the insults of enemies, and the standard of 

 freedom is planted on the shores of the South, — 



" Resolves, 



" That the Supreme Junta shall, in the name of the nation, offer to Lord 

 Cochrane, Admiral of the Chilian squadron, its most sincere acknowledg- 

 ments of gratitude for his achievements in favour of the people of Peru, 

 heretofore under the tyranny of military despotism, but now the arbiter of 

 its own fate. 



" The Supreme Junta, on being informed of this resolution, will do what 



is needful for carrying it into effect ; causing it to be printed, published, 



and circulated. 



" Given in the Chamber of Congress at Lima, 

 27th September, 1822. 



(Signed) " Xavier de Lima Pizarro, President. 

 " Jose Sanches Carion, Secretary. 

 " Francisco Xavier Marcateque, Secretary. 



" We order the same to be presently executed. 



(Signed) " Jose de la Mar, 



" Felipe Antonio Alvarado, 

 " El Conde de Veste Florida. 



" By order of his Excellency, 



" Francisco Valdivieso." 



Lord Cochrane had the satisfaction of receiving the above just before he 

 left Chile.
