" From South America the brig Clio has arrived
at Newcastle from Buenos Ayres, and furnished
the Philadelphia Gazette with late and interest.
ing news from South America. The accounts
from Chili are to the latter end 'or November,
which state, that Valparaiso has been entirely
destroyed by an earthquake, and two or three
hundred persons perished in the ruins. Co.
quembo, Quillota, Aconcagua, and several other
toWns, have suffered severely, and many of the

deal injured by the repeated shocks, which con.
tinued most of the night of the 19th November.

Ayres appears to be established on correct and
liberal principles, affording protection to indi-
vidual safety and property. The United States,
the only nation that has recognized the inde-
penclenceof Buenos Ayres, is, held by Govern:
merit and the people in great estimation.
CARACCAS, JAN, 17.-STATE OF TII1: WAR.
—Several movements of the enemy from Mara--
caibo towards Re,tyogue induced. us to believe
that' he intends opening the campaign by the
Province,of Trugillo; at this hour he has made
no greaCpregress infhls new line of operations.
Our forces at Mena, the division of the West,
under Colonel Manaques, and those of Valencia,
under Paez, ere ready for action.
", Extract of a Lettcr from ,Sl. Murtha, 24th
Dee.=-Morales does not frighten us : wise mea-
sures have been taken, and General Montilla has
departed to meet hirn with About 4000 men,
Paez with 3000, and Sbnblette with 4000, Col.
Narves with 2000, and general Clewenti with
1800. It will be very lucky for,Morales if he
can escape from the force which is to attack
him."

A commercial letter by one of diciest Mails
from St. Pekrsburgh, says,—''. Every thlng continues' very
languid in -,trade. Government are gill busied, with investi-
gating into the smuggling transactions mentioned.some little
time back. External affairs have tended lately to, depress the
course of exchange a little. It is hoped, however, hat a
favourable re-action will speedily take place. The three com-
mercial houses of B:slto.t.urr. and Co., 9ikyEx, IlauxwEn,
and Co.,.and TriOarsox Boa Elt, and Co., have purchased of
Government the whole of the copper it had to dispose of--
250,000 ponds, at 29. roubles per pood._The weather is at pre-
sent so mild that an early and favourable spring is anticipated.
The Russian American Company purpose, towards the end of
summer, to again dispatch two vessels from Cronstadt to their
settlement on the North West Coast of America."

Letters from Bahia of Jan. 20Imention that an
attack was made on the 7th, by Gen. MADEIRA,
on the island of Taporica. His force consisted of
1,500 men, on board of 2 brigs, 20 gun-boats,and
some smacks, all provided with guns of consider-
able calibre. The attack lasted five,hours, and
ended in Madeira's being compelled to retire
with a loss of 200 men. The Portuguese troops
then returned to Bahia. Madeira, fearing in his
contest with the Brazilians to be straitened folk
provisions, had subsequently given orders that all
the women and children should retire into the
interior. According to these letters, nothing of
importance had occurred at. I3ahia from the 7th
to the 20th.
A private letter from , Dunkirk, states, that
when a regiment was drawn up there to be seem'
to Spain, not one of the officers was suffered to
depart, and only a few men were picked out who
did not serve under BUONAPARTE : such are the
cautions and the fears of the French Government.
The Madrid papers of .the 20th announce the
death of DON LUIS DE Boanow, Cardinal de
Scala, and Archbishop of Toledo, at the age of
45. He was at the head of the patriotic Spanish
Prelates. The Universal says "he died faithful
to the sentiments in which he lived, and during
Iris long and painful indisposition), not the least
of his Sufferings was the finding his country dis-
tracted by the factious, and threatened with an
unjust war."

SECOND 4DITION

SUN-OFFICE, Two o'clock.

The important information which we are now
about to communicate to the Public, is another
decisive proof of the priority of our intelligence.
The French Army on the Pyrenees broke up
yesterday and the day before, and was to com-
ntence passing the frontier this day and to-mor-
row.

Couriers arrived yesterday from,Vienua with
dispatches for the Austrian Ambassador and for our
Government. The dispatches for the Austrian
Ambassador, Prince E3TERIIAWY, were sent by
express to His Highness at Brighton. These dis-
patches are supposed to contain news of vrrAr.
importance with respect to the march of a
Russian Army for the French Frontier.
We are in daily, expectation of being enabled
tc4 lay before the Public a most important docu-
ment relative to the part which Russia has been
taking in the present great political crisis, under
the management of that arch Diplomatist Pozzo
DI BORGO.

In consequence of the commencement of hos-
tilities by the breaking up of the French Army,
no news from Madrid can now be received by
Bayonne ; and the communications will be slow
and difficult, unless Government establish a
packet between this country, and Bilboa or
Corunna.

The report which has been circulated of the
departure of Count JULES DE POLIONAC on a
diplomatic mission to Madrid from the French
Government, is totally destitute of foundation, and
is nothing more than a bare-faced stock-jobbing
manoeuvre to induce a belief that the war may
still he averted. We think it necessary to cau-
tion our Readers against being taken in by the
Bulls of the Stock Exchange previous to the 10th
of April.
Press Warrants are expected to be issued in a

very few days.
•~Vc make the whole of .the preceding state
ments on the highest possible authority.
