The child, at nine months old, lost all the use of his limbs, and ilitd no appearance of any teeth in the gums. Ile continued in this state till three years old, without any use in his limbs, and so extremely emaciated that the ms:her could scarce move him in the cradle or in her lap.

PRICE SEVEN-PPNC-, CASE OF THE BRITISH VESSELS DE TAINED AT VALPARAISO. Ship Edward Mice, at Valparaiso, May T. By the Anna I sent you a copy of the representa tion I made to Sir Thomas Hardy, who arrived here about two months ago, and most opportunely for us, relative to our treatment, &c. since our detention; presuming from that representation you would be able to conceive in what a disagreeable situation. we have been placed by those people who are anxious to be considered by all the world as champions of the cause of liberty and inde ; :endence. The persons I corn lain of as being most particularly oppressive, are Lord Cochrane and his prize -agent here, who have been guilty of the most unfair practices to ob tain a condemnation of the property which we are charged with. lam sorry to have to say, that Cap tain Searle, of his Majesty's ship Hyperion, who was near us for a whole day, while they were changing my crew for one of the Patriot or Insurgent squa dron, could not, or did not, think it his duty to in terest himself for us. Howe.ver, I must confess that ' I was prevented by Lord Cochrane from makinz my situation known to Captai n S ear l e; an d o f thi s pro hibition I have to remark, that it made me doubt Lis Lordship's right even to detain us. I was not For milted to shew my colours whilst in company with the British frigate. Captain Searle, I learnt aftez.- wards, was told of our detention, but be sailed for England without having any communication with us. Captain Shirreff, of his Majesty's ship Andromache, was the next British Officer I applied to, by letters, which we were obliged to get sent to him by stealth, to beg his interference in our behalf, merely to have my crew sent to me again, and to be sent to some port for adjudication ; which latter request, I beli eve, he did interest himself for. But my poor crew' al though most of them signed a letter which they ad dressed to him, to beg he would liberate them from serving in the Chili squadron against their will, he took no notice of, as the men have not been liberated, and are now kept forcibly to serve the State of Chili. When we arrived at this port, we found Captain Spencer, of his Majesty's ship Owen Glendower, who was really both inclined and always ready to serve our cause ; but I do not know how it was, all seemed to favour the idea that our cargoes were good prizes upon the principle of our own Admiralty Statutes, which they say condemn neutrals for carrying or covering the property of a Power belligerent to the Power detaining; but I am happy to have it to say, that Sir T. Hardy takes the question in a different light; and, feeling as much for the maritime commerce of his country as for her other interests, does not forget that British ship-owners have been suffering in the extreme for some years for want of employment for their property, and, in my opinion, he feels it his duty, in the high official situation which he fills, as guardian of the honour and interest of his country's flag, to uphold, as far as he can, con.istently with reason, British ships in carrying for the world, pm vided it is, as it is at present with us, in the name of a British house of commerce; and that unless the Government of this country can bring r trward better proofs than they have yet done, that it is Spanish property, he will not suffer it to be condemned i • for he very spiritedly says, that if h e does suffer Lord Cochrane to detain, and the Government of this country to condemn, it will be a precedent for their detaining hereafter any British ship which may come into those seas, be she from whatever port she may. He has been gone about three weeks from this port, to have a conference with Lord Cochrane; and it is said he also goes on a mission to Lima, whereby hopes are entertained that that port will be opened to British ships and goods: under such circumstances, his Lordship will be obliged to raise his blockade. SECOND LETTER. • Ship Edward Ellice, at Valparaiso, May 19th. Since my last, dated May 7th, by his Majesty's ship Andromache, I have now to acquaint you, by the Recovery, whaler, that Sir Thomas Hardy has again arrived here, having only been absent about five weeks ; he feels very indignant at the conduct of this Government. for their part of his errand down to Lima, and to their squadron off there, namely, that he thought fit to send, before he was ready to proceed himself, by the Hon. Captain Spencer, of his Majes ty's ship Owen Glendower, what he conceived to be an order from the Government to Lord Cochrane (indeed, which the Goveniment presented him with for the purpose), that his Lor&hip should give up the men belonging to this ship, and those remaining of the crews of the other detained ships ; which order Captain Spencer delivered with his own hands to Lord Cochrane; and on Sir Thomas Hardy's arrival off there, demanding the men, his Lordship denies ' ever having received such an order from the Govern ment ; so that he or the Government have acted with duplicity, and Sir Thomas Hardy found that his Lordship had left his station off Lima, leaving direc tions with the Officer in command not to give the men up. Ile (Lord Cochrane) went oif. Sir Thos. Hardy has arrived, therefore, much vexed with the conduct of Lord Cochrane and his Government, and feels most compassionately for the situation of those poor fellow; constrained against their will to serve in a service which they have written to me and to Captain Shirreff, of his Majesty's ship Andromache, earnestly begging to be released from ; and I have no doubt but that Sir Thomas Hardy is about to adopt vet y decisive measures respecting .the with holding these four or five men. He is aware they have been treated very ill, because they have aith stoad every temptation which has been held forth to them to induce them to enter, and he has peremp tc.ily demanded them again of the Government, and as soon as their answer is obtained, he will send his Majesty's ship Conway down for them again, and, should that he refused, he will be compelled to use force. With respect to the cargoes, he will give them a stipulated time, as the agents of Lord Cech. cane hold out that they have proofs that they are Spanish property ; but if in that tim ? (h e .ays tuur
