I M PORTANT.

EXTRACT Or a LETTER, DATED LIMA, MARCM 8,
" DEA& SIR—I arrived here on the 25th ult.
from Guayaquil, by land, but was much delayed
on account of the swelling of the several rivers be-
tween these two places, or from want of mules to
carry my baggage.
" 1 now avail myself of the opportunity offered
by the ship Two Catharines ; this vessel, with se-
veral others, are obliged to leave the port, in con-
sequence of Lord Cochrane, who is in the roads,
with a strong squadron of Chinon men of war, having
declared all the coast from Guayaquil to Altamonte
in a state of blockade, giving notice of the same
to the neutrals that are here. Ile has allowed them
no more time than the gth inst. to go away. Lord
Cochrane made an unexpected attack on the
Spanish fleet, consisting of two 40-gem frigates,
four strong corvettes, and more than thirty gun-
boats : they are prepared to return him hot shots.
A gun-boat, with an officer and forty men, fell
into his Lordship's hands, but this was owing to
the boat bring involved in a thick fog, and found
itself in the middle of the Chills's Beet %Inez.
pectedly.
" The number of killed on this side is fifteen, and
three or four wonnded; a circumstance owing, pro-
bably, to the firing round shot alone. The ap-
pearance of this fleet in the bay, and the several
proclamations of General San Martin, have not
in the least affected either public peace, or the
ordinary course of trade.
" 1 put an end to this letter in great haste, being
now informed that Lord Cochrane, who yesterday
promised to treat the neutrals with indulgence, has
declared this afternoon that all vessels that should
not be under way at day-break, he would make
them good prizes. What language for as insur-
gent ! _ _ _

" An English gentleman who was on board of
the frigate, reports that he gave him the positive
assurance that iu case she Mucedunian should force
the blockade, he, Lord Cochrane, would have the
iinpudeuce to fire at her, and force her to with-
draw." _

BUENOS AYRES, APRIL 96.

An armistice with Artigas having been concluded,
and regulations for peace commenced, we flatter
onraelves with the pacification of the country and
consequent revival of husiiies..
From Chili we are daily expecting interesting
news ; for by the last advice.. Lo►d Cochrane, with
his fleet, was before Callan, blockading the royal
squadron in port, and it was expected that he would
attack the place and destroy it.

WASHINGTON, JULY e.

Two reports which have been circulated here
have attracted great isderest. The one is the death
of the President, in the Tennessee, of a fever; the
other. that the Western Expedition had met with
■ serious interruption in its progress near St. Louis.
The report of the death of the President, of
a fever, in the Tennessee, spread a gloom over the
public mind. On examination, however, it is
found incorrect. There are advices from the Ten.
!lessee of the 341; he wits then in good health. We
have stil later accounts via Lexington (Kentuelt)).
