The following isi;xtract4;l from a lilt-mos Ayres paper,
entitled the Arg,er, of the 23i1 of June :—".tmong the
various articles of intelligence cern muuicated from Salts by
the last courier, who arrived at the end of the prectiling
week, is the report that in Cabija pert of Atacama) had
disembarked General Miller, belonging to the Army of
Independence, with the title of General of the Vanguard.
In this army were expected 2,5(,0 destined to act against I
the Royalist General Olanets. It is positively stated, like-
wise, that Brigadier Espartcro, the particular friend of!
General La Scrim, and much compromised in the plans of
command in which that General insists, under condition of
playing the principal part, had embarked under pretext of
proceeding to Spain, but with the real object of going to
another quarter to combine plans of importance. By the
same convoy it is communicated, that the Constitutional
General Val& z, having bevn much weakened in :Mora, had
been cenducted to s.a Paz, where It- died in a few days.
If this news be true, o:aneta has lost one of his principal
rivals—Ferdinand the Seventh one of his greatest enemies
—and th- cause of independence one of its most zealous
supporters."

, work of Omuta commenced. Serecal females were
seized by the thieves, and their bands and buckles from
their waists, brooches, and everything that came in
