We have received the Mensagcro Arzentino of the 11th

February, containing an account of the capture of Chiloe,
and of the whole Archipelago connected with it—thus
oompleting the expulsion of the Spaniards from South
Amerfea. The Mensagero contains the despatch of the

Commander of the expedition, RASION Fame, and the'
articles of the treaty ; but the length of the debate prevents
us from giving more than an abstract of the operations.
The troops embarked at Valdivia on the 18th Dec. but
contrary winds, and several other circumstances, prevented
their departure till the 241 of Jan. On the Bth they came
in sight of the point of Guachucuy. The troops began to
eisembark on the 10th in the bay of Yuste, and in the
evening of the same day D. Joss SANTIAGO ALDUNATC,
with two companies, took the direction of Balcacura, in
order to take a battery which commanded the bay of San
Carlos. Gonov, with one battalion, supported this de-
tachment, and observed the fort of Aguy. Ile had orders
to retire at day-break to the point where the roads to Aguy
and Balcacurs separate, there to join the army which re-
mained encamped at the point of disembarkation. At.riu-
NAT g was obliged to delay his march till night, but suc-
ceeded at last in surprising the battery at Agny. In the
mean time, several vessels of war entered the port of San
Carlos, anchored before Balcacura, and landed some troops
next morning at the point of Lechagua, while their boats
:rove the enemy's gun-boats under the cannon of the fort.
'The army marched in the morning by the route which
ALDUNATE had laid open, and passed over a distance of
three and ahalf leagues of rough and hilly road in six hours
On the 12th, the whole army re-embarked, passed to the
right of the river Cupabulebu on the 13th, and proceeded
t.) take ups position at Cuadros. On the lath, the ene-
my's gun-boats, off Poquillihue, were defeatol, and the
army took up a position at Yanca. The whole of the ene-
my's troops were collected on the heights at Poquillihue,
and occupied a very strong position. The battery

could only be approached with two men in front,
and the points of attack were also defended by flanking fires
land other obstacles. Admiral BLANCO, with the gun..
boats, opened a fire upon the enemy, while the light artil-
lery took up such positions as enabled it to cannonade with
effect, crossing their fire with that of the gun-boats. A
movement of disorder being observed in the enemy's army,
Geceral BORGONO was ordered to head the attack, and he
soon took possession of the heights. The enemy then retired
tc• the heights of Bellavista,at the distance of a cannot shot,
ited took up a pos:tion covered on the left by an impassa-
bio thicket, in front by hilly and broken ground,and on the
right by thickets. Several pieces of artillery protected the
line. The right flank,though defended by 304) cavalry ex-
tending to the hills of Pudeto, presented the most favour-

sole point for the attack. - BoaooNo determined,
therefore, to carry the heights of Pudcto, while
a part of the army should skirmish on the rest
of his line, and keep him occupied on different points.
This disposition forced the enemy to abandon his second
position. They then retired to a still more advantageous
position at the summit of the height of Bellavista, which
was also carried, and BoaooNo sent the light troops in
pursuit. The consequence of this action was the capture
of the enemy's magazines and artillery, with a number of
prisoners. The loss of the Republicans did not exceed 16
killed and 66 wounded.
This victory was speedily followed by a capitulation,the
principal article of which is that, " The province and ar-
chipelago of Chiloe, with the territory which it contains,
and which is now in the powerof the Royal army, shall be
incorporated with the republic of Chili, as an integral part
of it, and its inhabitants shall enjoy equality of rights as
citizens of Chili."

We have seen a private letter from Chorley. which states that all
was quiet there on Monday and Tuesday, and that huffiness ap.

quence of it. A meeting of the principal manufacturers Lad NHS
held on Monday evening, to consider of the best means of distribut-
ing the above contribution amongst the weavers who were out of
employment.

BON APA lITE.—Tlie following is an account of the first
interview of Ouvrard with Bonaparte, in the saloon of
Madame Tallien :—" I was far from foreseeing that he
would hold one day in his hands the destinies of the
world, and that his enmity wouel have so fatal an influence
on my fife. Political aff'tirs Were then the usual topics of
conversation, but they did not exclusively engross it. Often
in the midst of the moat animated discussions, little Com-
mittees were formed in the saloon, in which the grave sub-
jects which too often occupied them were forgotten in
frivolous discourse. Bonaparte rarel,s took part in them,
hut when he did join iu them it was wick a degree of
heartiness. He then showed a gaiety full of vivacity and
wit. One evening he assumed the tune and manners of a
Jr:Mune-teller, took hold of Madame Tallien's hand, and
said a thousand foolish things. Every ores wished to give
his hand to be examined by him ; but when it came to
Hoehe's turn, a change seemed to take place in his
humour. He examined the hand presented to hire atten-
tively, and said with a sokinn tone, General, you will
die in your bed.' A generous resentment appeared at first
in Hoene's countenance; but a sally of Madame Beauhar-
mots dissipated the cloud, and restored the gaiety which
tit.. melt:lent had interrupted."
