Chili Gazettes to the middle of February
have reached us by the Springrove whaler, which
contain some interesting details of the events. in
Peru, of which the following is the substance :
The Chilian troops occupied the coast a short
istance from Callao northward, and their Ge-
neral, San Martin, to judge from his dispatches,
had his head-quarters sometimes at Iluacho, some-
times H
at Supe, and sometimes at
uaura. His
l
_ast dispatch is ,dated from Retes, two leagues
from Chancay, the 4th January.' He therein
otnmunicates a dispatch received from the Mar-
quis de Torre-Tale, Governor of Truxillo,• by
which it appears that the Governor himself had
favoured a revolution for independence, and that
the whole coast from Calloa to Guayaquil had
declared for that cause. The desertion amongst
the Royalist troops, officers as well as soldiers, is
stated to be very great. The Whole battalion of
umantia, 800 strong, in deserting to St. Martin,
ed even their Spanish officers.to keep up with
them, in a painful march of 24 hours, without
srest• Colonel Arenales had been ordered by
.„T1 Martin to proceed with a detachment from
risco towards the mountainous districts, to raise
the country, leave officers, arms, and ammu-
nition, and after having described 3-4ths of a
circle round him, to join head quarters on the
northern coast. This officer met with no. oppo-
Eltiao ; the few troops he found either fled orsur-1
-teudered, and the inhabitants received their
"visiters with open arms. After passing through
i Tuarnanges, Huancavelia, Tarma, and. Jauja,
Where he appointed new authorities, he learnt
that 1200 men, under Brigadier O'Reilly, had
,been .sent by the Viceroy of Lima to intercept
uiro, and that they were strongly posted at the
thine Pasco. Though he had only 920 men,
he attacked and defeated them on the 6th De-
cember, after a short conflict, so completely, that
1101 a man is supposed to have escaped; 32 officers
`were sent prisoners to head-quarters. Colonel
C„ ampino marched as far to the northward as
littaras, where he made a detachment, under
Colonel Lantano, prisoners. Lautano afterwards
took rank under Sad Martin. A. set of Letters
are published, in which Lord Cochrane and
the Captain of the Hyperion, for having allowed
a British vessel to break the blockade of Callao,
slid refusing to receive a letter from Lord Coch-
rane except by night. The Gazettes also give
us the correspondence between the French Ad-
miral and the Secretary of State for Chili. The
former assigns 'the object of the squadron's ap-
pearance in the Pacific to he the extension of hy-
rugraphic knowledge, the exercise of the sea-
Men/ and the protection of French commerce,
professingl the most perfect neutrality, and offer-
-,; to transmit to his government any communi-
-' tie'us which the Supreme Director may choose
i Ik°roake. This offer is, however, declined, as the
