CHILE.

•Ths following important Proclamation has been
issued by the Supreme Director of Chile to the
people of that State :
" PROCLAMATION.

'` ME SUPREME DIRECTOR OF THE STATE TO THE

PEOPLE.

" Circumstances the most imperious and urgent oblige me
'to convene the General Congress to which I had invited the
gttion in my fernier decrees ; circumstances which are of such
high importance, that they do not admit of the preliminary steps
• then announced being previously taken, and which perhaps
would have been desirable for the prov'lnces in less eventful
ihoments. Europe hastens to decide on the fate of America,
and England has recognized the independence of Mexico, Co-
itimbfa, and Buenos Ayres, hoping for the arrival of that pe-
aled when illegal organization of Chile will justify that recogni-
- On, to which she is entitled by her valour.; her 'moderation,
send her virtues. The new Governments invite us td assist and
prepare to form a South American Assembly, in which may be
lorganized the grandipact of union and the public law of the
Weir World. Already they have sent their plenipotentiaries
to Panama. The Government of Chile has felt itself embar-
raised by these official invitations, being unable to refer to the
Xational Representation, and could only reply that it was
Obiu.t immediately to instal the National Congress, whose first
-shags would be directed exclusively on that sublime object.
*Cat aegociations, connected With the national industry,
destined to promote the prosperity of Chile, seemed paralysed,
because the undertakers of them delay the completion of the
-speculations, waiting for the legal and consistent establishment
ut °Ur system. Afore than 23 millions of dollars, it has been an-
manned by our Plenipotentiary, have been raised in London
•tb encourage our industry anti agriculture. The Government,
vacillating,and without a recognized code to direct its admi-
riistration, can scarcely act, feeble and cramped as it is in all
Its operations, and without authority to establish principles or
a policy adapted to our institutions. Oppressed by so many
urgent circumstances, I hope to see the nation assembled on
the Pith of September. In order to secure the greater freedom
and dispatch in the elections, I have, in the subjoined procla-
mation, taken the most efficacious means secure impartiality
and good order.
" Lahahltant4 of Chile I This nation knows sufficiently well
that I have no otherinterest. at heart but that of the country ;
no rove for any other dignity than that of increasing its glory.
• Without hesitation I protest to you anew, by that which is
'• most sacred, that I shall behold with the greatest horror, (and
will take care that the judicial authorities shall discharge their
-functions by exemplary chastising), any one who may directly
or indirectly seek to make it believed that the Government takes
any interest in the persons or the opinions of those chosen your
Representatives. From motives of delicacy I have resolved to
Withdraw during the period of the elections of all the Gover-
.nors <dependant on the Directorial nominations, in order that'
the slightest influence on the part of the Government shall not
be exercised.

" It is for you now to pursue, with the greatest purity, the
national interest. You have to decide on the fate of your
country. Look well to the important charge, and consider the
awful responsibily you incur, and tremble for the inexorable
judgment of posterity.

"..Desiring to conivlt 'the universal wishes of the people of

adapted to circamstances,. I decree—

be returned for the several provinces or districts which it enu-
merates, the qualifications of persons eligible to be returned
