-this branch plain to the simplest understanding. The library'
continues on the best footing, and has received in the present
year valuable additions. The Charitable Society has complete-
ly fulfilled the public expectations. To the zeal and intelli-
gence of the ladies who compose it, are due both the progress
in the education of the girls and the excellent appearance winch
the female Orphan School presents. The Hospitals are enlarg-
ing, and their interior arrangements are improving, with a cbn..
siderable reduction 0 expellee. The Vaccine Establishment
has proved, in this year of sickness its power to contend with,
and to overcome, all the violence Of the disease. Public wor-
ship is conducted with its usual splendour; the embellishment
of the Cathedral of the Province goes on with celerity; some
churches have been repaired, others are building in the country,
and the Treasurer has assisted them with sums of money which
will be laid before you foe your approbation. The clergy con-
tinue to do honour to the station they hold in society ; rn fine,
the country may rest assured, that, under every circumstance,
it will preserve without reproach that glory which it has acyuir-
eil in the cause of liberty. Reform in the administration of
justice is an object of primary importance to the'country, but it
is, at the same time, one most difficult and dangerous to carry
into effect. That reform must be founded on the existing codes ;
but it would be imprudent to apply these, until their first prin-
ciples are sufficiently understood by those whilst, duty it may
hereafter become'to explain and administer the laws.
The Magistracy has succeeded in gradually diminishing
the existing difficulties, by an augmentation of its moral force,
and an active anxiety to prevent. crimes, and to discourage liti-
gation ; and it is but just to confess, that it has fulfilled its duty
with a laudable zeal ; that it has overcome great difficulties,
arising out of the laws themselves; and that its labours have
been productive of a more efficacious mode of correction of
crimes, and a more correct knowledge of rights.
The system of the Police has been improved with greater
economy. The execution of the law of the 20th December
last has placed in the hands of the citizens that duty, purely
civil, with which the army was formerly improperly intrusted.
The movable property in the country, which becomes more
liable to be attacked in proportion to its increase, is better se-
cured ayitinst robbery, and the meat* adopted to regulate the
service in the plains have produced thPfeest effects. The streets
of the town and the roads have received extraordinary improve.
ments, and a useful spirit of enterprize in constructing bridges
and other public works begins to show itself in the city. The
departments of architecture and hydraulics have satisfactorily
fulfilled the ditties of their institution ; in a short time they
will be provided with those instruments which are requisite for
facilitating and extending their operations, especially that of
the harbour. The standing army preserves its moral discip.
line ; it has driven back the savages who invaded our province,
recovering from them an immease. booty, and it is now occu.
pied in constructing works on the new frontiers. By the de-
cree of the 22t1 01'461 of last year, which has since been car.
tied into execution, the education of those young men is suffi-
ciently provided for, who may be expected to distinguish them-
selves in the rank oriacers. But it is necessary to declare to
you, that the laws appointed for recruiting and filling up the
army are insufficient, The Ooveroment has made every species
of sacrifice to effect this object out of the province, and has only
been successffil in the Entre Rios. You will perhaps now be
convinced that there is no other means than those laid before
you in the year 1822. The military treasury is in an excellent
state; the result of the examination of the chests of the dia.
rent corps, just finished, has done honour to the commanders.
The ordnance, which is now sufficiently provided for ordinary
occasions, will be augmented to meet extraordinary emeen-
cies. The administration et' the public finances proceeds in
good order. It will continue so, provided we consider as sacred
this principle—viz., " that the jiot payment of our debts is
itself a fund of riches." Our whole debt is now consolidated.
The system of public credit is becoming more intelligible even
to the most prejudiced and to the least instructed ; and this
will best ensure its preservation. The flank has completed
capital assigned to it on its foundation. Its prosperity ex-
ceeds the most sangaine hopes, and its utility is felt by all
classes. . _

It remains to carry into effect a coinage suited to our *Ants,
and which may be substituted for that which lipain issued to
us after the model of her own. For this object, plans and mea.
sores are prepared for the establishment of a mint on the most
perfect and economical footing. The public revenue has suf.
ficed not only ter the ordinary' but also for the great extraordi-
nary expences of the year.' It is, hoWever, to be regretted, that
experience shows us the necessity of a recourse to more effica.
ciao measures, to obtain from the citizens those moderate di.
met contributions which have been decreed as indispensably
necessary for the preservation of public order, since it appears
that the conviction of duty and the etimulus of honour upon
which they were founded are totally insufficient.
industry in the country increases rapidly, and the amount of
capital employed An agricultural ,pursuits becomes every slay
greater. The necessary Mean* have been taken for die encou-

ExpEDITION AGAINST CIIII.OE.
The Buenos Ayres Argos of the Bth of May contains the fol-
lowing account of the successful invasion of the important island
of Chiloe, by the patriotic army of Chile, under the command
of General Freyre :
" The expedition from Chile landed at Chiloe on the 20th of
March, according to information received at Valparaiso on the
Bth of April, by the ship Stanmore, direct from Chiloe.
" The expedition took possession.of the fortress of Chacao,
after a severe contest. Colonel Garcia, a Spaniard, at the head
of 700 men, made his appearance there on the Ist of April, and
attacked the Independents, but he was repulsed by them with
considerable loss, and retired, The 'lndependent forces then
occupied the port of Carelmayu, and marched on San Carlos.
" The Patriot army was to be strengthened by some rein.
forcement from Valdivia; and a* the Spanish Governor, Quin.
tanilla, has but a very small force, the conquest of that. island
was considered certain; in which case, the Spanish naval force
going to the Pacific will find itself deprived of that place for re-
freshment, and whatever refits may be necessary."
The followini are extracts ofprivitte letters :
" SANTIAGO DE: CHILE, APRIL 12.
" I herewith enclose you a duplicate of a letter I hastily wrote
you, conveying some interesting and flattering news concerning
our expedition at Chiloe. Along with the accompanying Ga-
zettes, is a publication of the news, and although it does not
exactly agree with mY account,l
yet believe mine to be equally
if not more circumstantial than that. Government protably
does well not to mention the loss of the 300 fliers in the action,
as also the loss of the corvette Voltaire. Their information is
derived from the same source as mine—from the Captain of the
port of Chile and the Captain of the vessel. However vessels
are daily expected from that quarter, and may confirm the
above, and probably bring us the welcome intelligence of the
fall of (*Woe. Bolivar writes from Pativilia of his being in
want of AOO cavalry, iron, gunpowder, and two vessels of war;

cessful, Barites request will be immediately complied with."

" Yesterday morning the Stanmore, the first vessel taken by
the privateeri arrived at Valparaiso. The Chiloe squadron had
arrived, and had succeeded In landing their forces, and after a con.
siderable resiStance on thepart of the ('hilotes, thel Patriots suc.

also took place between 1,000 Chilotes and 700 Patriots, during
which the former lost 20(1 men, and the latter 300, including a

PERU.
The following letter is said to have been received by way of
Philadelphia:--

" GUAYAQUIL, MAY 27.
" By the brig Tres Hermanos, which arrived here yesterday,
from Payta, letters have been received of the 22d inst., which
bring the agreeable confirmation of the conclusion of thestruggle
in Peru, by the evacuation of Lima by the Royalists on the
10th inst. Some days ago news had been received of theresult
of the glorious action in which the arms of the country have
again triumphed ; and it was hoped the details could have been
communicated, but as they have not arrived, I shall transmit
you our first communication, and what has since been learned.
" It appears that the Liberator and General-in• Chief Bolivar,
who had his head-quarters in Truxillo, and his advanced posts
in the direction of Limit, (the negociations which the Minister
Verindorega had conducted not having a favourable termina-
tion in consequerlce of the capture of lama and Callao by the
Royalists), determined .to make one of those movements which,
have so often astonished his enemies and led him on to.vietory.
Apprised that the Spanish Generals Can terse and Valdez had:
advanced upon Lima from the positions which they occupied on
the coast from Pachaeama to Yea, and that they had left Oen.
Moneta, with the traitor Torre Tagle, commanding that city,
and advanced with the principal divisions of the army by the
road of the valley (Cimino del Valle), taking up positions from,
Chancey to (Insure, and detaching a strong division in the
direction of Terme
" The Liberator, who items to.liave foreseen this movement,
sent 4,000 men, in: two divisions, by the groat yalley.of :Bu-

ExTit ACT OP A LETTER, nATrii A 11. fcceulPA, MARCH 7.
" On our arrival at Quilca, we were made acquainted
with dangers which we had escaped, of which we certainly
hail had not the most distant idea. .A very fast brig, called
the Quintanilla, fitted out from Chiloe, under the Spanish
flag, had been only a day or two ofd' the port, committing
the most piratical acts, and bed finally proceeded ''down
the coast towards Lima. It appears that she captures
all vessels indiscriminately, let their Ilagit be what they may.
The first object on boarding a vessel is to search for specie,
which is, when found, invariably conveyed on board the priva-
. tecr. The private Property, of passengers, such as clothes And
