SOUTH AMERICA.

The followi►tg is an extract of a letter froi►i
Buenos Ayres,- dated Dec. 10:--" An express
has this moment arrived from Chili, confirming
the news we received two days .ago, of General
San :Martin having, on the Ist of November, de-
stroyed General Serna's army of 4000 men, near
Lirna, having drawn
.them into an ambuscade of
his army, by feigning & retreat, and leaving some
trilling' baggage, &c. to the Royal army. We
heard this from the General Guemes, Governor
of Salta, who bad it from the Governor of Ata-
cama, near Lima ; and it- teas supposed the Pa-
triot, army would immediately enter Lima, as the
Viceroy had retired to the fortresses of Callao.
Official accounts- are hourly. expected. Our
_let-
ters from Chili say ►iothing on the subject.; but
the express who brought them informs us that tl►e
bells were ringing when he left Santiago, on ac-
count of the above news. .The Spanish brig of
war, with tho Deputies, has sailed without hav-
ing landed, the Governor here refusing to treat
with them, unless they had pOwers to acknow-
ledge the independence of South America. We
have peace at last with the Monteneras, but the
India►is have advanced all along the frontier till
within 30 leagues of this_ town, -committing the
most horrid outrages. The Governor has gone'
out to drive them to. their pampas, and chastise
them severely."
A Letter from Rio Janeiro, dated Dec. 14,
says—"' The changes at Lisbon have produced a
greater effect than you would imagine on the
state of affairs here. Although the foreicrners
resident here express doubts on the subject, both
the Portugueseand the Brazilians declare openly,
that if Portugal preserves her Constitution, 'they
will have one also. The change, nevertheless,
may take place without the smallest disorder."

Letters to the 14th of January frOm Bahia
state that the inhabitants of that place had ap-
plied
,to the gov,ernor, to know if he was willing
to i,rrant thetma Constitution similar to that which
has been declared in Portugal. Ile replied, that
he•did not possess the.poli.er to make any alt ra-
tion in the form of the government, but that he
would send to Rio Janeiro for instructions how
to act. This reply was far from giving complete
satisfaction to the inhabitants, who showed every
disposition to enforce the object. in view before
the return of the messenger.
