had been convened, immediately nn his arrival, to
try him for the step he had taken. Colonel SAN..
CHRZ. who, ay the last accounts, was said to hive
retreated to Valdivia, had collected together It
r(wee of 2,700 men, besides some 'Moll glierilla
parties, and was encamped on the banks of the
Bio liio, again threatening the province of Cott.
eettlion. General SAN MARTIN was encamped et 4
Mendoza with a corps of 2,b00 Chiliads, in order
to observe either Buenos Ayres or Chili. which...
ever might claim his 'meiotic's,. The armistice
with Santa Fe continued unbroken. General Bet.-•
GRANO had come down to Frityle Muerto, for the
purpose of occupying ■ central situation between
tl►e Aloutosseros and Cordova. Intelligence of the
sailing of the two men of war and the frigate,
which left Cadiz in the middle of May last, had
been received at Buenos Ayres. They were ex-
pected to arrive at Lima by the end of August. I t
will be recollected that one of this smolt squadro a,
the Alexander, of 74 gusts, put back to Cadiz,
being pronounced unlit for the voyage. A le tier
front Monte Vitlro of the 19111 of July, says -

" Great exertions are making at Buenos Ayers for r 'mist-
ing the expedition from Cadiz; but if the lodepe itlents
have time to adopt the hostile measures which are •pointed
out by the nature of the country, Gen. O'Douuell • rill un-
doubtedly meet with obstacles which he dues out foresee,
and which hr will find very difficult to overcome. there is
nu risk in predicting that this will be the last effou•t of the
Spanish Muusrchy, and that, however powerful it may be,
it will ultimately be destroyed. A danger so intro meat has
nailed all parties; all will juin in resistance to the common
enemy."

Ui this letter we shall briefly observe, that the
people of Durum Ayres need ferl no alartia on re•
count or the Cadiz expedition. The wants and im-
becility of the Spauivli Government, the a 'Patin), of
,11w troop*. and the malignazt fever now raging in
Cadiz and its ‘iriiiity, have completely ex..inguislitd
all tae hopes of that expedition.

The Agricultun►l Association of Glamorgan-
shire held its meeting on the 9.41 instant, the Ilan.
W. IL GREY in the chair. It was resolved, That
the depressed state ql Agriculture demands the im-
mediate mud earliest attention, not only of the coun-
try at large, but of Parliament ; and that Me causes
of such depression originate mainly from the im-
politic ol►etation of the Corn Laws, and partly
front the presonie of Governmental and Parochial
Taxes. Petitions to both Houses of Parlia-
ment were agretti upon, paying,-Ist, That
the Ports should immediately be ►e-opened for
the Importation of all Grain, prising such ad
valorem duty as ►hall protect the British grower
or corn, without materially affecting the con-
That various taxes which or-
press agiictilture and the lower classes should be
i 11111 l taliately reitesled ; substituting for them a
well-digested Income Tax, if absolutely tiecessiny
for the exigencies of the State.-3d, That is (C-
-orral Enclosure Bill should be passed, which, by
rusl•luyiug the population, will contribute to an
increased product of grain ; for, as the largest
known importation has barely been sufficient fur
two months' consumption, so an effectual preven-
tive from scarcity should, by every possible means,
be encouraged.
We expect to find some of these suggestions
adopted in the ensuing Session of Parliament.—
Great doubts of the productiveness of the new in-
creased taxes Were entertaiiied at the time they were
passed, and these doubts have been confirmed by
experience. The policy of the Corn Laws has beets
also a tinestion on which the country has been
divided. The exact price by which importation is
regulated was at the time strongly combated, and
althotigh the principle may not be affected by ex-
petience, yet some new arrangements arty be found
Necessary.
