The second section relates to the powers of General SAN MARTIN, which, it will be seen, are sufficiently extensive—in short absolute. The supreme directing power of the free depart- ments of the State of Peru resides in the Protector. His powers emanate from the empire of necessity— from tae force of reason—from the exigence of the public good : he is Generalissimo of the Forces by land and by sea ; and he shall have the power to augment or to diminish the armed force as he shall think proper : he shall have power of imposing contri butions, of establishing duties, of exacting loans to de fray public charges, onconsulting with Council of State. He organizes the land and naval forces, regulates the trade, appoints Envoys and Consuls to foreign Courts, and shall have the title of Excellency, which shall be given to no other individual or corporation. All those who formerly held the title of Excellency, shall be addressed by that of Your Illustrious Lord ship. The Ministers of State are to be immediate Chiefs of their various departments ; and there is to be a Council of State, composed of twelve individuals (nine of whom are Ministers), whose functions are to give their opinion to the Government in cases of d cult deliberation. This Council shall assemble when necessity and the urgency of public business shall demand its attention, and shall prolong or shorten its sittings accordingly. The rights of the Citizens, which are lass thought of in the code of General SAN MARTIN, are, that they shall have equal right to pre serve their honour, liberty, and security in property or person ; and that whoever is unjustly defrauded of such rights may demand redress of the Government for the infraction,.and shall be at liberty to print and publish an account of the transaction which forms the ground of his complaint. The Liberty of the Press is to be under regulations hereafter prescribed. Such is the Constitution promised by the Protec tor of Peru, who, it will be seen, has been particu larly careful to ensure his own authority, and to give as little power to the People as possible. This mockery of liberty, however, will not be long endured, when the Peruvians discover, which they must soon do, the real character of their ambitious Ruler. • THURSDAY, JUNE IS. iiiciTiCis or MOSIONS.—MT.

"Our Administration pursues its course ofretrench ment and economy ; the credit of Government there fore stands high ; and, should any temporary embar rassment oblige it again to issue paper money, it will no doubt be readily taken at par. " The conduct of Lord Cochrane, in his dispute with General San Martin, is much commended, al though his Lordship's zeal for Chili, his adopted country, has perhaps made him too ready to censure General San Martin, and to impute sinister motives to him. His Lordship was displeased at General San Martin's taking the title of Protector of Peru, with the supreme command civil and military,while, in fact, he had a commission as Commander-in-Chief of the Chilian army. The coolness between the two Commanders was increased when San Martin de clined to give battle to the Spanish forces under the walls of Lima, or in front of Callao, although Lord Cochrane strongly urged him to do' so, as the certain means of at once putting flown the enemy. The capitulation of Callao, concluded without the concurrence of Lord Cochrane, and restoring all- Spanish property, widened the breach still more. The Chilian fleet, the interests of which were entirely forgotten in the capitulation, shewed a mutinous spirit, especially the foreign seamen, who had been buoyed up with the hope of immense prize-money at Callao. They were clamorous for the art ears of their pay, and Lord Cochrane found himself compelled to satisfy them out of the money that had been put on board the transports for the sake of greater security, while the Spanish forces were near the coast. This step was the more justifiable, as the Treasury of Lima certainly ought to have paid the arrears due to the fleet, on account of the Government of Chili, which must have claims for larger sums on Lima. Lord Cochrane, however, to keep his men in activity, sent part of his squadron to Valparaiso, and with the THE EVENING STAR.. LONDON. TUESDAY, MAY 28. 1822. Wart-Tuesaar.—Holitlay at the Bank.

We yesterday stated that General SAN MARTIN, whose quarrel with Lord COCHRANE has long been subject of . noioriety, had assumed the character of Protector of Pens ! We now learn, by subsequent arrivalk from South, America, that this ambitious Chief—this vaunted lover of freedom, and liberator' from oppression--had, with the aid of the valuable services of Lord COCHRANE, so sooner possessed him self of the capital of Peru, than he not only refuses to pay the Navy, without which he could have done nothing, but that he declares the conquered territory an Independent State, and declares himself its Chief. It is true he only assumes the title of Protector, but it is with an authority as absolute as that of BONA . VARTZ over the Confederation of the Rhine, of which be was the Protector; or that of Sir THOMAS MAIT LAND over the lonian Islands. which are under Bri tish protection.

VIENNA, MAY 14. The following are eatracu of letters from Con. stantinople, dated April 254 It is stated that, within the last two days, the Porte has xessideeffromptly to evacuate Moldavia end Wallachia, which is*" to have, for therpresent, a Proillsional Government, and to observe strictly the Treaties coodaded with Rulaia. It Is added, trot the necessary orders for the evacuation have been sent GE " Our hopes et peace have augmented within the last ten days ; the Porte has changed its tone, and begun to flinch. It i s sa id that the Principalities will be evacuated. " It is again believed that the peace with Russia will not be broken. It is said at Pea. but this news wants confirmation, that the Reis Effendi has declared verbally to the Austrian and English Ministers, that the Grand Seignior was not so muc h discontented, that he would resume the consideration of the pto. positions of those Courts, and that an aqswer might be promptly expected, satisfying them of the mildness, wisdom, and favour of the Grand Seignior." specie belonging t the presenoe of the fleet before Callao was no longer required; the character of the Government of Chili and that of (ham). San Martin are a secure pledge that this unfortunate quarrel will have no detrimental influence On the cause of independence, nor weaken the good understanding which policy and mutual in terest will always preserve between Peru and Chili." " LIMA, NOVEMBER 30. " San Martin, who is very unpopular, has adopted the flourishing title of Protector of Peru, and govern,' the country by a military despotism. You will pro. bably have heard of the rupture between him and Lord Cochrane. " After the evacuation of Callao by the Royalist army, his Lordship applied for money to pay his Officsrs and men, and received for answer that there was no money, although it was well known to his Lordship that about 600,000 dollars had been em barked on board of private ships and Chili transports by San Martin for safety, in case of being surprised by the Royal army. His Lordship was of opinion that this money would be equally safe on board of his frigate, and consequently removed it thither, with which he paid his ships, and sent part of it to Chili. San Martin had by this time got a flag of his own, and declared Peru independent, which his Lordship conceived dependent on Chili, and therefore would no longer obey any orders from the General. Every intrigue was used to induce the seamen and Officers to enter the Peruvian service, and even to hoist the flag on board the Chili ships. Some Officers who have always been in opposition to his Lordship, im mediately joined, and a great number of the seamen who had been long confined on board wished for a change: they are, however, sorry for having made' it. Not one of them has been paid by this Govern ment : whereas those that remained with his Lordship have been paid to a day. " JANUARY I.—This place remains perfectly quiet, and the existing Government here finds itself so strong. that a very respectable expedition, consisting of 3000 men, is being equipped, and will sail from Callao in about week, destined to the coast of Arica, in order to attack Arequipa, and thus, if possible, terminate the war in Peru. " General San Martin is still at the head of the Go- verament, with the title of Protector, but it is thought probable that he will shortly relinquish the supreme' , command in favour of a native of this country, of distinguished family. " Lord Cochrane, by the last accounts from Guaya quil, was about to sail from that port with his squa dron, to run down the coast of Mexico, and cruize for the two Spanhh frigates, which remain in those seas:' A file of American Papers has been received this morning, but not of a later date than the last. The National Intelligencer says—" It is rumoured that the Bill which has passed the House of Repre sentatives, to appropriate money for the purpose of sending Ministers to the nations of South America, will meet with opposition in the Senate." WASHINGTON, APRIL c 4. Of the documents yesterday transmitteG to Con gress by the President, connected with the recent oc currences in Florida, the most important one is a let ter from the Secretary of State to Don Soaquim d'Anduga, Minister of Spain, giving a definitive an swer to his complaints against the proceedings of General Jackson, whilst Governor of Florida. The letter is of such length, that we have no room as yet to publish it. The following is•the concluding para graph of the letter, and which affords information of the destination of the Macedonian frigate, which lately sailed from Boston : " The delays of the Captain-General of Cuba, with regard to the fulfilment of the Royal Order, transmitted to him by Colonel Foram, were so extraordinary, and, upon any just principle, so unaccountable, that the Minister of the United States in Spain was, by letters from this Department of 15th and 16th June last, instracted, upon his return to Madrid, to represent. and to request new and peremptory orders to that Officer for the delivery of the archives in his possession, according to the Treaty. The renewal of the order was declined, upon the ground of entire confidence on the part of your Government, and the command of the King. I regret to be obliged to state, that the just expectation of his Catholic Majesty has not yet been fulfilled Capt. Jamas Biome, Commander of the United States frigate Macedonia, has therefore been commisioned to repair to the Havannah, there to receive the documents and archives which Colonel Foanas Was obliged to leave, and which the Captain- General and Government will deliver up without delay." The Paris Papers of Saturday have been received. The articles they contain relating to Russia and Turkey, though rather inclining to peace, are very contradic tory. The following are extracts : rest proetesiOd to Goarsquil, in out& to co-operate; if necessaryi with the Colombian tercel gaiter; or to extend his crulze to doi coast ot Mageo, and there to secure the two 6pai r ish frigates Proem' andlresr- gansa. which are reported to hoe gieat sums ot specie belonging to Spaniards on Wird.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL es. The Reis Effendi has at length given a written an swer to the Ministers of England and Austria ; but it AUGSBURG, MAY 18. Lord Strangford has, it is said, at length succeed&i in inducing the Porte to make some concession , . M. de Lutzow, with all his efforts, could not suc ceed. The concessions, made only verbally, are said to be as follow: 1. In order not to afford the least pretest to the Court of Russia, the Porte will withdraw its forces from the principali. ties (Wallachia and Moldavia), and cause the left Bank of the Danube to be evacuated. 2. Instead of re-establishing Ilospodan in the principalities, the Porte will establish Regencies, composed of natives of the class of Halyards ; but with the following demands 5. That all Greek refugees, comprehending those called lletarists, shall be sent• to a distance from the frontiers, and specifically from Bessarabia. 4. That Russia withdraws her troops from the frontiers. 5. That Russia shall fulfil in like manner the last treaties, and particularly that of Bucharest, which is not yet fulfilled. NUREMBERG, MAY 17. The" last accounts from Russia speak of a grand Military Council to be held at Mohilow. Letters from Trieste state that the citadel of Athens has at length yielded to the Greeks by capitulation. A letter.from Athens, dated in the middle of April, states, that it is the determination of all the Greek Chiefs to gain time, and to make a mountain W a r. fare, in imitation of that of Spain, which will be much favoured by the nature of the localities. It has also been determined to send to the different Courts of Europe persons with missions to intercede with them, for the purpose of inducing them to grant a political existence to the Confederate states ofGreece. ODESSA, MAY 2. Letters from Petersburgh of the 26th of April state that M. de Katechskin, the precursor of M. de Tatis cher, brought from Vienna intelligence that the Al lied Powers, with the consent of Russia, had givea the Porte time till the end of May, for evacuating Moldavia and Wallachia, with a declaration that if the said principalities were not evacuated within that time, the Russian armies should use open force. There is much curiosity as to the determination of the Porte, and whether the Divan will comply. GOTHA, MAY 18. Yesterday, at one o'clock in the morning, Prince Augustus, reigning Duke of Sue Gotha and Altenbergh, died, at the age of fifty, of a malady of only four days standing, which ended in apoplexy. Prince Frederick, his brother, took the oaths as Re gent on the same day. French Funds, May 25, Five per Cents. 89f. 50c. If we are to believe the accounts that have been re cently received, both from the Continent and from Con stantinople direct, there is some reason to expect that war may not at present ensue between Russia and Turkey. A private letter from the Turkish capital, dated April 25, states, that the Porte has finally con sented to evacuate Wallachia and Moldavia; by this time the troops are withdrawn. The public feeling will not at present admit of the administration of these provinces being given to the Greeks; an arrange ment has therefore been made that it shall be given to twelve natives of those provinces, to be chosen hors their respective' Chiefs. This Provincial Governmeet will have eightßepresentatives inConstantieople,appa rently as hostages for the conduct of the admini arators. —Eighteen persons are nominated to conduct tl e affairs of the provinces above named ; and as a secu rity for their good conduct, eight others of equal rank, and forming part of the Deputation to Constan tinople, are to be retained as hostages. In conse quence of this arrangement, the Porte had issued orders for the evacuation of Wallachia and Moldavia by their troops ; and this order, it is said, was already in part fulfilled. It is stated in an article from Vienna, brought by the German Mail this forenoon, that some such ar rangement as the above has been entered into; and that the principalities were to be evacuated on the 9th of May. The Funds had in consequence some what risen at Vienna, the Metalliques on the llth insr. being 75i, and the Bank Shares 679 1-10. Letters from St. Petersburgh, which are to the sth instant, are, however, still warlike; and we have great doubts if any such arrangement as here stated will satisfy Russia, even should the Porte have consented to it, which is by no means certain. The object of Russia, in her quarrel with the Poste, was aggrandizement; and after being at the expense of keeping her army on a war footing for several months, it is not likely she will tamely relinquish her object, without either indemnity for the past, or some security for the future. But admitting for a moment that Russia and Tur key do thus agree on the provinces of Wallachia and Moldavia, what is to become of the Greeks, who have already made such advances towards inderendence? 1 4 ) .
