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 Sancues Carton, Secretary. 
“Francisco Xavier MarcaTEQue, Secretary. 
“« We order the same to be presently executed. 
(Signed) “* JoszE pe ra Mar,

«© Ei ConpE DE VESTE FLorRIDa. 
«* By order of his Excellency, 
«Francisco VALDIVIESO.” 
Lord Cochrane had the satisfaction of receiving the above just before he 
left Chile.
