OPERATIONS OF THE FRENCH BLOCKADING VESSELS.

JUNE 3.--The blockaders were reinforced to-day by the
brig of war Bordelaise (bomb), mounting, we are told, ten
guns, eight of which are upon the plan proposed by General
Paixhans, for throwing his newly-iavented shot, which is
considerably more destructive than that in common use. The
brig Dassas, we hear, • has four of this description of guns.
General Psixhans is the inventor of the " monster bomb,"
which was so effective at Antwerp.
6th. The blockaders were rejoined by the corvette l'Expe-
dition, which returned from a crui3e. The British ship Fame,
from Liverpool, came in company with her.
7th. The Dutch galliot Gezusters from Amsterdam. an-
chored before daylight in the outer roads ; and the British
brig Fame sailed at sunset for Monte Video, ordered away
by the blockading squadron.
Bth. The British brig Elizabeth Brooks arrived this morn-
ing, and sailed again immediately, without coming to an
anchor, ordered away by the blockading squadron.
The Dutch galliot Gezusters sailed fore Monte Video, or-
dered away by the blockading squadron. The blockaders arc
supplied with provisions, &c., from the Bacda Oriental,
brought to them in a launch, mistico rigged, a sort of
" bum boat."

By accounts from Chili, it appears that there has been an
attempt at revolution ie the republic of the Ecuador; a regi-
ment stationed at Riobamba bad mutinied at the instigation
of its commandant, Jose Martinez de Apnric:o. Measures
had been taken by the Government to counteract it, and the
capital (Quito) bud, by a decree of the President of the
Republic (Rocafuerte.), dated 14th March, been placed err
ensembles, A periodical published at Guayaquil contaias a
long article in order to prove that General Santa Cruz has
been the origin of this insurrection; which insurrection, the
Mercurio of Valparaiso says, was concocted by the Prefect of
Limn, General Aparicio, in conjunction with Santa. Cruz, Iv/
carried into effect by his brother, Jose Maria Aparieio, A
perusal of the detail in the Guayaquil paper, continues the
Mercurio, corroborates all that we have before', vrritten re-
specting the ambitious views of the little Napelecu of
French S!uipa of War at Buenos Ayres.—Cccvette Camille,
