SOUTH AM ERICA.

By the Hyperion frigate, which has just arrived
at Porismoutli from the Paciac. with u large quan-
tity of specie on Loan!, amounting to upwards of
two millions and u ballot' dollars, the property of
British merchants at Peru, we have been ftvoured
. with the following correct infiirmation.
The Chilian army, in l'eru, under General San
Martin, which had lauded at Pi!.co, in Peru, on the

4th of September, re-embarked at that place on the
25th of October, and after appearing off Calloa on
the 28th, proceeded to Ancon, where they landed,
Lord Cochrane remaining off Callao with the
squadron to blockade the port. -On the morning of
the 6th of November his Lordship made a successful
attack on the Spanish line of defence, and carried
um the Erneralda frigate The populace were so
enraged at this event, that they killed or wounded
the whole of the boat's crew belonging to the Ame-
rican frigate Ma ..erionia, and several seamen on
shore ; but it is not understood that any English
suffered, excepting two Seapoys, belonging to the
Purina East Indiarnen, who were waiting to take
off' the Supercargo, and were cruelly shot on board
a Spanish brig.
The presence of the Hyperion was a very fortu-
nate circumstance, as it was the means of saving
British property to nearly the amount of a million
sterling. Several British ships were preserved from
being distressed by the desertion of their men to
join the patriots, the captain of the frigate obliging
mime of them to return to their ships; and the po-
pulaceof Lima and Calloa would. it is feared have
destroyed every vessel, and probably murdered every
Englishman in Lima, if the frigate had not been
there to protect the tiamer and receive the latter.—
It is believed the whole of the English property,
and all the English subjects (excepting Messrs. Wad-
dington and Price), were embarked on board the
Hyperion and the English merchant vessels, which
latter sailed on the 21st of November, except one,
. called the Pacific.
The Hyperion left Callao on the 12th of De-
cember, at which time General San Martin's head-
quarters were at Supe,and his advanced guard within
11 or 12 leagues of Lima. A few days before, the
new Mancha Regiment deserted to the patriots: it
was composed of prisoner., who had been taken
whilst serving under Bolivar, and who had enter-L(1
the Spanish service. General San Martin had had
great advantages from being allowed to land with-
out molestation on different parts of the coast, where
he procured supplies and recruited his troops, as
well as revolutionised the country. The Spaniards,
however, had about 12,000 men in Lima and its ,

neighbourhood ; and it was nut considered, there-
fore, that they had much to fear, if they were true
to themselves, but the government was not in a bad
state.

Extract of a letter from Naples, dated 4th inst.—
" The Austrian fumy marches with the greatest circumspec-
tion. General Frimont having been informed of the defensive
measures adopted by this govtanment, and the strength of our
army, as well as of the spirit of patiotism which animates all
classes of citizens, hed judged it imprudent to prosecute the
march with tint forces under his command. It is on this account
that the General has halted in the Roman States in the expecta-
tion of new orders. Gen. CIITILSenG4 is appointed Como-tinder iu
