( From the New York National J osi•orl4.
Extract (rota a letter of a gentleman residing at Santiago de Chilli
dated April I. 1825 :
" The extremes of heat and cold are felt here mach lest
than in the United States : the last rummer. which is just
over, was considered an unusually warm one, and yet I tlei
not think the thermometer was over S 2 or 83 at any time,
and even at this but for a few days •it generally rangerduring the day at from 7 to 80 ;in ale evening, the coos
breeze comes from the Andes, and tempers thoair With a
must delightful softness; nothing can be more lovely them
a summer evening here, at the foot of the Cordillat. Tbst
inhabitants seem duly to appreciate this agreexNe
liarity in their climate : for, during the continll.lllree of the
summer, the streets and public walks are di:o4[4.d wills
,people of all classes, until long past midnight, prannetiad...
ing or tested on the stone seats With which the publid
Walks are furnished, and frequently the music of the diffe—
rent corps in garrison is employed in adding to the plea— r
sures of the promenade. This, in !het is, in Summer, the
finest part of the twenty four hours. Santiago is furnished
with two public walks, both of which are extensive, ard
afford the most grand and beautiful scenery ; one of the::",.

the greatest variety of grand and beautiful views. The
ether is on the side of the City, laid out hi alleys, with pa.
railel rows of trees, and stone seats under them, and a smelt
canal running the whole length ; this also affords sortie
sublime views of the everlasting mountains and perpo.s
tual hills,' with their equally everlasting snow capp'd.
This country is at present much divided by factions and
par tics, Which embrace in their different shades and variant
almost all eases of society. They are called Liberals and
Peluconca, or big-pies. The former of these, as theiti
name iddicates, are in favour of liberal institutions on.
republican priaciples, and the mote zealous of the party
!are desitotta of instituting an immediate and radical.reforirt
in church and state; and, through the medium of this, in
societyat large. The Pelucones, on the contrary, are fbe
continuing and rendering permanent institutions of an
aristocratic name and tendency, analogous to the preset:a
constitution of society here, and calculated to secure td
them their present influence and power. A large portion
of this party, in fact, and among them seine a the moat
wealthy and respectable, and 'of course, most influential of
the state, arc secretly in favour of a monarchical form of
'Government, with its accompanying privileged orders in.

rain this end ; and their weight and consequence in society#
if not their talents, make them to be feared ; added us
which, there is too much reason to apprehend that they
find a secret abettor, if not instigator, in the anomalous
'agent of a certain European Court. Amongst those of
this party, there are many who are decidedly inimical to
the independence of the country, and desirous of again seee
ing it under the domination of Spain; these, of course,
omit nothing that conduce to the accomplishment of their
wishes; the utmost vigilance and circumspection steithere.
fore required on the part of the friends of liberal institu-
tions and the independence of the country, to defeat the
machinations' of those intriguers. The Government is note
in the hands of the liberal party, but so powerfal is the
opposition' that it is in a great measure deprived of the
liberty of adopting the measures most conducive to the
public good. The Director is a warns friend of liberal ina
stitutions, of great political integrity, and extremely do:.i:e;
but, although possessed of physical courage in an extraer4
dinary degree, lie is perhaps deficient in that moral tlrtn-s
ness so much inure necessary in a chief Magistrate in Ch:ti.
"..The Congress of this country has now been in session
more than tour mouths, but nothing ornswelf fterefff'dfieir"
lias been done. The constitution of 1823 has been des
clarerl a nullity, while at the same time it was deereed that
that part of it which had been put into operation should
continue to be the supreme law until the adoption of
another system, which has not yet even been conceived I
So that the present Government of Chill exhibits the stamp"
contradiction of the dead alive,' or a nullity in full
force and operation ! In fact, the whole machine is COW4I
pletely.digointed, and all its movements are, of course, ire
regular. A Bill of Rights has been under distussion ft*
a long time, but as yet, only a few of the fifty-odd artier
eta which compose it have been adopted—here then it
another discrepancy, another clashing of supreme lairs g
.so that is may with great truth be said, that it would'
puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer' to tell what is the law and
what is not. One of the provisions of this Bill secure; tot
individuals freedom of opinion, but its fate is quite uncer-e,
tain • toleration has yet found but few practical adyneatese
in this country ; though the correctness of the abstract doc-e,
trine is more generally admitted.
" A direct contribution has also been under toner
tion for several months, but as yet it has not gin beyondthe cub-like form of a project of slaw, and there is little
probability that it will ever be licked into shape. In this
mean time, a statute of bankruptcy ought to be [ken put
against the nation, for it has long ceased to answer the den
mands against it; so that what are called jocilatly.
Spain, the three periods or terms of payment of that Go-
vernment, ' late, bed,: and never,' have been reduced and
simplified into one. It will, however, be difficult for the
wheel of Government' to nuke many more revolution*
without the application of the' patent attrition;' the fries
lion already produces much grating.
" The Government of this country has heretofore beeit
national or consolidated, but I think That the day ie tat: fat
distant, when the three provinces which compose it. will
assume to themselves, respectively, the.managetnent of then'
own provincial affairs, and establish local or provincial lea
gislatures, executive and judiciary departments, and omit
acknowldge the authority of the General Government irs
matters purely national, upon the federative plan. This
is, perhaps, the only way in which the eaistiiie sectional
jealousies can be allayed, and the interests of the :sr
spective provinces properly secured.

" The province of Santiago, from its superior popala•
tion and wealth, as also on account of its being the cApitnl
of the focus of aristocracy, has heretofore exercised ate
undue and excessive measure of influence over the rest.-
