The following is an ertraet of a letter from Si..
Jago de Chili, dated the 3d of Aerie( :—" Lord
Cochrane is expected to sail in September. Oi.e
thommod troops are to be embarked, who will
act upon the email of Peru, if not a little farther
to the northward. Rockets are preparing very
fast., which makes it probable that operations will
commence by an attack upon the Spanish ship-
ping in Callao; 180,000 dollars, beloug,ing to the
Philippine Company have been captured, besides
cocoa, spirits, and other articles; 70,000 dollars,
or thereabouts, in charge of Copt. Smith, • North
American, were intercepted smile leagues inland
near Stipi. The rest was taken out of a French
brig. Both Captains preferred signing certificates
that it ass Spanish property, to proceeding to Val-
pewits* to Itave the subject investigated. They
acted wisely, for in that case they might have
lint their vessels. Lord C. had very accurate in-
formation concerning them ; his Lordship stands
higher than ever in the estimation of all ranks.
Every thing here is quiet and peaceable. Govern-
ment is becoming tolerably rich—the army is well
enough chched..-and the people more determined
and enthusiastic than ever. Some of the principal
characters, with a few Britivls merchants, have
offered, upon certain condi suns, to t qaip 6.000
men, and provision them for three months, after
their arrival in I'eru. General Sin Martin has
hero invited over, and if he approves of the 14" e
it will be acted upon. The army of the Andes swore
to the Constitution of the United Provinces of La
Plats on the 18th July. The troops had • field-
day, looked exceedingly well, were well clothed
lull appointed, and went through their evolutions
with credit. The noble spirit of the navy extends
to these men. Three provinces to the northward
of Lima refiosed to pay the tribute to the King's
Government before Lord COCHRAN' quitted the
Peruvian coast. Since then, it has been reported
that a disturbance has taken place at Arequipa,,
and that the inlisbnants there are ripe fur revs-
lotion."

As there are no public judicial proceedings at Ber-

The wire of the first has beeri admitted to see him

of the Tugendbund (Union of Virtue) has been
brought forward, and it is generally presumed that
Vie innocence or guilt of the accused will be dis-
covered from this point; as many persons in the
judicature formerly belonged to that association,
then called patriotic, it is thought the affair will
have d favourable issue.

The Emperor, who has been indisposed for a

Minister of Finance gave to the Chamber the an-

which it appears that the expenditure for the year

that the receipts fell short of this amount by the

The Minister then proposed projects of %Ws re-
lating to some of the necessary fiiiaricial arri.uge.
menus fur the ensuing year. The most importaut of
them is one for authorising the Government to ccl-
led the first si=•twelfths of the rases fo► the year
1820, on the scale of the year preceding. This is
ninny a provisional arrangeinent, which is chi-

ing the current expenses until the regular budget
shall be definitively settled.

It is understood that arrangements have been
made among the several powers of Germany fur

increase of power extends to the adoption of use.

freedom of commerce. the rights of the Jews,
