There is no such Commission Officer as Lieutenant Commandant; they are, from time to time, selected from the corps of Lieutenants, and receive, while in command, 10 dollars extra per Month, which ceases with their command; they then return to the body of Lieutenants, and receive only Lieutenant's pay. The Masters' Mates are taken from the most experienced Midshipmen; the number of Masters' Mates stated above should, therefore, be added to the Midshipmen, which make the whole number of Midshipmen required, 429. This statement makes no provision for sickness and other casualties.

ADDRESS of the Commission, on presenting the Project of Constitution to the Constituent Congress of Peru.14th June, 1823.

SIR,

(Translation.)

THE Commission appointed by Congress to prepare a Project of Constitution for the State, upon the basis already acknowledged by the People, are anxious to present the result of their labours, not only because they consider them worthy of the Sovereign sanction, but because they desire to report the fulfilment of their duty, and to satisfy the wish of the People, who are impatient for the day when their Representatives shall have attained the grand object for which they have been assembled.
