(1822-1823) This feisty insect of a semiweekly roused enough passions to provoke a demand for satisfaction from General Jose de San Martin after he had retired from public life and vowed to remain out of public view.

It also addresses religious arguments against independence. The newspaper advocates public education and interprets all aspects of life from theater and music to public smoking, in a political light. It reprints reports from the regional press connected with the fight for independence. The editors halted publication after 16 issues when the subscriptions ran out and began producing Correo Mercantil, Politico y Literario del Peru.

- El Argos Constitucional de Lima
