struck on a sand bunk, tore off the whole of her
copper, and she made eight feet water. The gallant '
Admiral, not, however, dismayed, would not sutler
himself' to be delayed a single hour, he went on in
this state. On app:ouching Valdivia, the Intrepid
struck upon a rock, and was lost. Notwithstanding
this, Lord Cochrane entered the harbour, attacked
the butteries, landed, assailed the forts hinite.f,
leading the men, and witk his own hand planting
the Chilian standard in the great square. The place
surrendered—it was defended by 110 pieces of can
non, mostly 24 pounders: an immense quantity of
ammunition has fallen into his hands—the military
stores and chests of the Spanish army of the South,
&c. This place is by far the strongest hold in
Chili, having a narrow entrance, a spacious bay,
with an island in the centre; there are ten strong
forts defended as well by nature as by art. This is,
perhaps, one of the greatest feats ever performed.
I have a letter from him, stating that he has one
more blow to strike in Chiloc, a place which, not
being capable of defence, must fall ; he has sailed
thither in the Montezuma, with the Dolores trans.
port, a prize he took at Valdivia, the O'Higgins
being too mach disabled to proceed with safety;
he will be here in a few days. These are most int-
porrant matters, as the expedition preparing here
by San Martin may now leave the country. safely in
peace, as the whole of Chili will be freed from the
Spaniards."
