We have the *more of inserting the following hone the British
Consul-Geneva!, to 31r. U. Montgomery
" Sir—l have the pleasure to acquaint you fer the satisfaction of
the wawa Interested, that I have just received a communication
from the Government of Paraguay, in reply to my remonstrance,
informing me that all British subjects may retire from that country
when they please. " W. PARISH.'
By the last mail from Salta, we have news from Upper Peru,
which do not allow us to doubt but in a short time not one of its
oppressors will remain. Cochabamba was already in the hands
of the Patriots, In spite of the garrison of 800 then, which was
taken in the same manner as the battalion of Ferdinand V 11.., now
called that of the liberators, with 400 men, r thel4th of I=
The Commandant proclaimed by the Patriots Mss plasoll
at the disposal of Governor Armies. These lam, jawed' with
those of the patriot Lanza, will probably be dimmed atga 1t thane
of General planet*, especially supporting the metegameuta of the
Inhabitants. In this manner all Peru will WOO be hi erme against
Its obstinate oppressom; and their firmness and strength will wrest
from them the prise they have so long had in their power.

Confidential accounts from a respectable quarter in Chili have
been received by a great commercial house in this city, which affirm
that Commissioners had come front Chiloe, to wree with the Go-
vernmadt of Chili for the giving up of that Island.
The Echo qj the Andes, No. 22, contains an official Address to
die Congress, dated Santiago, 22.1 February, and the account of
what passed in the Congress in consequence. All shows the critical
situation in which Chili now is. The Address states, that two
men had attempted in the night to assassinate the Deputies Don
Joaquin) Cempino and Don Bernardo Vera, but were fortunately
prevented, and their persone secured. On examination before a
Mogistrate, it appeared that Don Jose dregorio Argomendo, a
Deputy, was one of the authors of this plot, as well as of various
assonymeua inflammatory papers which have been chi:mimed In the
country. The Government could not hesitate iroarreseing him.
The Congress resolved to appoint a Committee of its Members
to investigate this affair. The subsequent debates were remarkable;
the Deputy Csmpeno proposing that the Congress should be dis-
solved, and a Committee of the Deputies appointed in its place.
This proposal led to violent disputes and speechea, full of per-
sonalities. Some Alemtocre retired, and it was resolved that the
Congress should remain. The suppers of the motion alleged
that the Congress had done nothing to the three months that it
had been aseembled ; that It had paralysed the action of the
Executive ; that there were factions in it ; and that from its
bosom had proceeded the Circulars to the provinces, calling them
to anarchy.
The persons arrested are above sixteen in number, and the Go-
vernment is disposed to em ply all the rigour of the law. Order
and tranquillity have net been violated.

The Chamber of Representatives of Mendoza had, after lung and
luminous debates on the proceedings against the conspirators, au-
thorised the Government to suspend eight certain legal formalities,
which hinder the conclusion of these trials with the celerity that
their nature requires. The Government, it seems, anwillmg to
to violate the securities which the laws give to citizens, even when
accused of the greatest crimes, declines making use of the faculty
thus given it.

The Right Hon. John Becket, his Majesty's Judge Ad-
vocate, arrived yesterday morning at his house in Down-

Mr. J. M. Lloyd has announced his intention not to
offer himself again as a candidate for New Shoreham. Mr.
H. Howard (at present M.P. for Steyning, nephew to the.
Duke of Norfolk), starts for the Borough ; and one of the
present Members, Sir C. M. Burrell, will again offer him-
self at the general election. As we mentioned yesterday,
Mr, ugden is also a candidate.
We are happy to state, that the subscription which is in-
tended to be appropriated for the purchase of a service of

Letters from Gibraltar, dated the end of last month,
state that the Independent privateers are frequently seen
from the Rock; they appear to meet with great success,
several valuable prizes having been taken. A Spanish
vessel can scarcely leave Gibraltar without immediately
being in the hands of the Colombian and other privateers.
The Mitifeville Gazette, of the 3d of May, announces
the murder of the Indian Chief, General M'lntosh,
and the Chief Cornetau. The news had been brought to

murder was perpetrated on the Saturday preceding, by a
large body of natives, about four hundred in number, who
attacked she General in his own house, on the very day he
was to have set off, at the head of a mission, to explore
the country West of the Mississippi, for the future resi-
dence of the Indians.
