He was a deputy in the
Cádiz Cortes and resided inSpain between 1812 and 1817.On his return to Peru he was named Governor of Trujillo, and proclaimed the independency of the city on the arrival of
José de San Martín .He briefly assumed the Presidency for the first time on February 1823, and again on July of the same year. When
José de la Riva Agüero left the presidency, Sucre briefly took over the position until Torre Tagle was named President. Torre Tagle remained in charge until the arrival ofSimón Bolivar on February 1824.During his tenure, the Peruvian flag, which had been established by
José de San Martín , was changed due to its complex elaboration. The new flag model proposed by Torre Tagle was composed of three horizontal fringes, with the two extreme sides colored in red and the middle one in white with a sun in the center.References
