SOUTH A ERICA.

(From the Ramo:hire Telegrat.)
On Tisestlity, ur, tar, 42, Apt. THOMAS
BnowN, having completed her term of service, arrived at
Portsmouth from the South American station; 'bringing specie
tti:the amount of 020,000 dollars. She sailed front the anchorage
of Chorillos (about six miles to the southward of the Bay of
Callao) on the 3th of August; from Valparaiso on the 29th of
September; and Rio Jauciro on the 28th of November. When
the Tartar left the Chorillos, the torts of Callao continued to be
occupied by the Spanish forces, consisting of 14 or 1500 men,
under the command of tieneral Rodil, whose peculiar character
we have before noticed. No clout is entertained that he must
ultimately surrender the possession oldie fortresses ; but that he
will hold out with the same persevering obstinacy helms hitherto
observed, until his provisions are to,ally exhausted, and the gar-
risons reduced to the extreme of necessity, is acknowledged
by all who are in the least acquainted with his pertinacious
unsubdued disposition ; and we are assured that he has still
abundance of means in his power•to protract the siege. The
different forts of Callao are in good condition, having suffered
no material injury from the cannonading directed, at times,
against them by the patriot troops, who have not yet heels able
to bring their battering three within 800 yards of the fortifiea-
dims. Bolivar, with a part of the Republican army, was in
Alto-Peru. It was expected that he would return to-Lima
about the month of November. A hostile contention having •
arisen between the States of Buenos Ayres and the existing
tiovernment of Alto-Peru, as to the right of territory of the
fine province of Potosi, the inhabitants claimed the privilege
of settling the contest by their Own declaration, and unani-
mously decided in favour of the latter; au that Alto-Peru is
now formed into a distinct republic, and called the Republic of
Bolivar. The measures pursued by the Clititan liovernmeat
are not likely to produce that happy effect on the minds of the
people, so desirable in Republican states. They have issued
paper money to great amount, and now exact, in payment
for duties and other transactions in which they may be en-
gaged with individuals, one third of the suns in specie, and
he other two thirds they receive in notes. This, amongst
other things, has given rise to discontent and serious Cons-
plaints. An expedition watt nearly ready to Sail front Valpa-
raiso, to attack the island of Claim. The captains of the
different vessels bad joined their respective ships, and Admiral
Blanco was daily expected to . arrive to take the command of
• , the Chilian fleet. it Is said that the inhabitants of the island
wished to be attached to Chill, under the form of a federal
government. The city of Truxillo, on the borders of the Co-
lombian empire, has changed its name to that of Bolivar. The
fine brig Achilles, of 18 guns, formerly Spanish, is fitting out
at Valparaiso, and now forms a part of the Chilian squandron.
The line of battle ship Asia, thrmerly Spanish, is in the gulf of
California, having been surrendered by the unpaid crew to the
Mexican uovernmcnt.

It is not true, as has been stated, that Sir Charles Stuart,
Ambassador to the Court of Brazil, left Rio Janeiro in di a.
gust, or that his Excellency is in disgrace with the Emperor
of that territory. The fact is, that the Ambassador has
completely succeeded in the different objects of his lois.
scot ; and that his Excellency, on quitting Rio for the
northern pars of the Brazils, received from his Brazilian
Majesty repeated proofs of most courteous attention. We
understand that Sir Charles, atter having visited the ports
of Bahia and Pernambuco, will proceed to the River Plate,
thence round Cape llorn ; more for the purpose of ascertaining
the actual state of the different Republics hi the Pacific, than
for accomplishing any specific diplomatic mission. The Em-
peror of the Brazils appears determined, at present, to prose.
cute the war for the purpose of subjugating the Bandorian ter-
ritory ; but it is bald that the " Libertador Bolivar" has inti-
mated to his Majesty, that should the Buenos Ayrian Govern.,
mcnt solicit his assistance in rescuing them front the oppres..
sion caused by an unjust and fruitless warfare, agreeably to
the avowed general principle which has regulated Ilia conduct
in the emancipation of the different States of South America,
he shall exert every means in his power to obtain this end.
It is presumed that this intimation, coming us it does from
such a man as Bolivar, of whose firm and determined cha.
racier the Emperor cannot be ignorant, will have some effect
in destroying the strong desire that appears to exist in hint
for an unnatural and unlawful acquisition of territory of
main. The empire of Brazil is already sufliciently,extensive ;
and it is hoped that his Alajesty will not, by attempting to
spread his wings too widely, find in the end that his empire has
been a little clipped in its original lines of demarcation. On the
19th of November about I,2Uu inert embarked at Rio, on board
of two 13raallian frigates, a corvette, and several transports, to
be disembarked in some part of the River Plate, and reinforce
the Brazilian forces engaged in the war in that quarter. The
Emperor's troops had Lately experienced an important defeat;
and it is not improbable that this reinforcement will arrive at
the same ftte. His ftlajesty's activity anti unwearied diligence
are generally acknowledged, anti some Ws may be formed 01'
the manner in which he conducts the atildrs of the nation, front,
the fact, that he was personally employed in the harbour of
Rio, on board a steam-boat, till sun-set, to assist in surveying
some vessels. His Majesty takes an interest in executing per-
sonally much of the detail of the public service.
As it is quite necessary that a British vessel of war should be.
constantly stationed at the anchorage of the Chorillos, the Eclair.
arrived there on the 11th August, to relieve the Briton frigate, Sir
Murray Maxwell, which ship made an extraordinary passage
thence to Valparaiso in 11 days : an ordinary passage its 31 da'.
The Blossom, 211, Capt. Beechey, had arrived front England.
She was to complete her provisions at Valparaiso, and continue
her voyage to Behringi Straits, touching at Easter Island, and
Juan Fernandes, for the purpose of surveying those Islands. It:
is supposed that the Briton will not take the usual course of go..
' log to Panama, and the other ports to the northward, previously
to her quitting the South American station for Englund ; in which
case she may be shortly expected to arrive. The Blonde, Lord
Byron, proceeds to England, via St. Helena, having landed the
body of the late Ring of the Sandwich Islands. The Mersey, 211,
Captain Ferguson, sailed front Valparaiso on the 21st of Sep-
tember, for Panama, to collect the remittances of the British
merehantit ; and having performed that service, she will leave
the Pacific on her voyage to England. The Cambridge, HU,
Captain Moping, was at Conception, expecting the arrival of
the Wellington, storeship, at Valparaiso, from which the dif-
ferent vessels of the squadron would complete their stores and
provisions ; and the Caruhridge return to the roadstead of
Callao, or the anchorage of the Chorillos. The Wellesley
74, (Sir George Eyre,) 'Jasseur, and French frigate Are.
thusa, were lying at Rio when the Tartar lett. The Blanche
frigate, Captain Mends, had gone round Cape Horn, to be
attached to the squadron in the Pacific. The Doris frigate,
Sir John G. Sinclair, was lying in the River Plate. The Dia-
mond, Lord Napier, left Rio for Bahia, on the 211th September,
with Sir Charles Stuart on board. The merchant ship Mercury,
hound to Trieste, was seen near the Line on the 29th December.
An Indiaman, supposed to be the RecoVery, was passed on the
6th ult. in lat. about 12 deg. North. The following appoint-
ments had been made on the station :—Mr. Mundy, Midship..
titan oldie Wellesley, to be Lieutenant of the Eclair, vice sir
Thomas Paisley, Bart. invalided, who came home passenger
knytehiresTey„
ar. O
tar. Lieut. O. O. S. Gunning', from the Tartar to the
instead of Lieut. Fitzroy, appointed to the 'Tartar;
Mr. Gamier, Midshipman of the W ellealey, to be Lieut. of that
ship, vice Wilmot, invalided, who came home passenger in the
Tartar Mr. Pearce, Midshipman of the Wellesley, to be Lieut.
of the Cambiidge, vice Barber, invalided as an hospital case;
Mr. Simmontis, late of the eambridge, to be Purser of the
Eclair, vice Starr, invalided. Dr. Ridgm ay, lute Physician to
Sir C. Stuart's Embassy, came home in the Tartar.
We mat not omit to mention, that the great Libertador of
the South AmeriCan Continent, Bolivar, presented Captain 'l'.
Brown, of the Tartar,' with his portrait, as a mark or his re-
gard and esteem, expressing, at the time time (through Col.
Perez, his Secretary, his regret, trout being engaged in Alto.
Peru, at not having a personal opportunity of taking leave
of Captain B. previous to 'fiat Tartar leaving the Pacific. It
should likewise be noticed, in Raul of the conciliatory anti
equitable conduct of Captain 11., that the Royalist General
(who now holds so perseveringly the forts of Callao, and
who is time greatest enemy Bolivar has), refused a request Capt..
Brown made, to be permitted to purchase some ship's 'nova
at Callao (which Inc was then leavlng)', hut frankly and ge.
nerously replied, that as a mark of his esteem and fri.tuiship ,
for him, he should take whatever stores his ship required.
A letter received (by the packet) dated Rio Janeiro, Dee. 3,
state that the reintlircemeot of troops had sailed for the River
Plate ; and that great rejoicings hid taken place on account of
the Empress being confined on the previous day with a ban,
after having had four daughters.

According to what is rumoured about the
Houses of Parliament and the Government of.
flees, it is confidently believed that there
will be no Funding of Exchequer Bills,
and consequently no occasion for any Loan
from the Bank of Enghttni or any other party,
and this belief is strengthened by the declaration
of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that his linen.
cial arrangements (formed, it may be remem-
bered, with reference to the Income and Expeu
diture from 1824 till 1827 inclusive, have hither-
to so proceeded, in spite of the temporary shock
hi the Christmas quarter, as fully to equal ids
expectatipus,and calculations.
