SAL TA.

'The. vanguard organizing Intfli;provinee daily improves in
number and discipline. Above t 0 men, most of them corpo-
rals and sergeants, have come.over from the army of Olancta.
They affirm that those who form the Spanish force are disposed
to abandon colours which are displayed only in favour of_per..
soma interests, and of despots more.cruel than Ferdinand VII.
Ipimself.

.00T. 23.—1 n our preceding number, we alluded to a report
of the defeat of the Constitutional General Valdez, by A quilera
of the Servile party (that of Olanent). We find this report to
be founded on the following extract of a letter front a merchant
in the province of Salta;--
" The late events in Peru are of a very flattering nature.
-On the retreat of Valdez, sent for by La SernN on account of
the danger which he is in from General Bolivar, A (Okra, in
concert with the Itarbarucho. attacked hint in the environs of
Potosi' and completely defeated him: Valdez being wounded
in onefoot, and Carmtala killed ; hence Olaneta is master from
I%lojo to the Desaquadero inclusive, who, uniting all his forces,
- except the small garrisons,. has commenced his march, dispens.
ing protection to his distressed rivals, though nobody knows
his secret views."

The Chile paper El Liberal of Sept. 4. contains-
1. A note from the Minister Plenipotentiary of the United
States, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, dated Santingo,
Auguat 4, in which he complains that the subjects of the Uni-
ted -Statea and other foreigners art! prohibited :by the laws of
Chile from the free exercise of their religion, and even the rites
of burial, and he therefore, according to his duty, calls the at.
tention of the Government of Chile to the necessity of remedying
this grievance by a law which shall ensure them the enjoyment
of the privileges to which they are accustomed; and thus remove
all grounds for future complaint's.
2. A letter from Mr.. Canning, dated April 23d, to the Con-
sul.Generatin Chile, desiring him to require from the Govern-
ment of Chile,for the subjects of his Britannic Majesty, not
only the enjoyment of civil rights, but the freedom of religions
worship : these civil rights are, freedom of persons and pro-
perty, against every act of the Government emanating. from po-
litical relations with othyr countries, or political dissentions at
'home ; and principal exemption from pational military service,
and from every impost which does not fall on the general mass.
The free exercise.of their religion, and the decent celebration of
the rites of sepulture, are equally Indispensable to the tranquil-
lity and welfare of the members of a Christian Community. •
On the other hand, His Majesty's subjects are to avoul all
ostentatious display of the religious worship—to behave in a
peaceable and orderly manner—to respect the laws, customs,
• and civil and religious Institutions of the Government under the
protection of which they live ; and the Governiuent of Chile
• may be assured, that any of his subjects acting otherwise, and
in a manner offensive to the Govermnent and people of Chile,
will incur His Majesty's serious displeasure.

-Amongst other improvements likely to take
place in this flourishing neighbourhood, a Rail.
road from hence to Selby is talked of, anti it is
also rumoured that the Aire and Calder Con►
parry contemplate forming a Canal in the same
direction, of sufficient depth, that vessels of eon.
-siderable burden will be able to navigate direct,
from the sea to our wharfs--this will be a very
important benefit to the town of Leeds, for there
is on obvious evil in transferring goods from one
-vessel to another in the course of the river ; and
',without any desire to .prejudice the interests of
other persons, it can scarcely be admitted that
the vessels which at present catry direct from
hence to London in one bottom, can be regarded
as very safe conveyances during the winter
months. If this very desirable measure be car.
tied into etTect, it will readily be seen what de•
cided advantages Leeds will possess over almost
every other inland commercial town in the king.
,dom.—(Leeds Intelligencer.)

We feel much gratified in making known a be-
nevolent offer of Mr. WATICIMOUSE., the exten-
•sive roach proprietor of the Swan with Two
Necks, in aid of the relief now raising by sub.
scription for the Spanish and Italian Refugees.
As it is probable that many families in the coon-
try would be glad to avail themselves of the abi-
lities of the emigrants as teachers of their native
'language, this opportunity of gratuitous carriage
will be highly serviceable to the sufferers. It
reflects great honour on Mr, Waterhouse.
