20,368 dollars 1 real, he, after a deal of remonstrance on my
part, giving up 5,906 dollars 6 reals of the duties ; and although
I requested an acknowledgment from himin writing, that he
would return the duties on such of my siargo'as 1 could not sell
here, as I did not expect to sell one-third of it on this part of
the coast, or give me a license to.proceecr with what I could not
sell to the ports to leeward of Lima, in possession of the- Pa-
triot forces, pledging himself that no new duties should be ex-
acted from me there, he refused to do 'either, and told me I
must consider this arrangement as final between us.
" This, Sir, as far as I recollect, is a true and correct state-
ment of what has occurred to me and the vessel 'under my
charge, during the time the Chili squadron has been on the
coast ; to which I must add, that the situation of the vessel is
very dangerous and distressing, as we had the misfortune to
lose our jolly-boat on the Bth inst., with the mate and three of
the crew ' • two of the remaining hands and the master very. ill ;
and very badly provided with cables, so that we roiuire to go
into some safe
.port to refit immediately, to'prevent any serious
accident occurring to the vessel.''

in the foregoing statement :

" ILO, JUNE 3, 1821.
" Mr LORD,—In consequence of your Lordship having
sent an officer and men on board the brig Robert Fudge last
night, and taken out seven of her crew, I beg to inform your
Lordship that I consider myself no longer responsible for the
vessel with her cargo, but that it is entirely Under your Lord-
ship's directions, and abandm to your Lordship my rights on
board as supercargo acting for the owners of the property.
" I have to request your Lordship will favour me with a re-
ceipt for one bale of cloth, marked M. 29, and another of raven
duck, marked R. D. No. 10,, and also for the thousand dollars
in specie I deposited yesterday, in part of the duties on the
Robert Fudge's cargo, and return me, if your Lordship thinks
proper, my bills of lading that I delivered to your Lordship in
Arica on the 19th ult."

COPY of Lord COCIIIIANE'S Reply to the foregoing. Letter:—
" SAN MARTIN, ILOS JUNE 3.
" have received your.letter, and in answer thereto,
I have to inform you, that the bale of cloth marked 29, and
the bale of raven duck marked R. D.. No. 10, shall forthwith
be returned but 1 have to inform you, that whether you con-
sider yourself or not, and whether you think proper to abandon
your rights as, supercargo, you must continue on board the
brig, and proceed with her to Chili, as the nature of my duties
here do not permit me to delay their execution under the frivo-
lous pretence of not thinking proper to work on Sundays.
" You will be responsible to your. owners, and not me. You
have violated the blockade, ,and I have interfered; as my duty
demanded, to prevent the debarkation of the whole, instead
of a part of your cargo, which in my own mind is Spanish,
or not ; and whether the blockade is acknowledged or not
is of little importance, as neutrals are not to carry on a com-
merce in time of war, which they were not permitted to do in
time of peace, nor have any neutrals a right to trade to the close
Colonies of another Power, far less to supply the Colonies of
one belligerent at the expence of another.
" These, Sir, are points of law of which you cannot beig-
norant, and which exonerate me, and not you, from all respon-
sibility to the owners, be they who they may.
I am, Sir, your obedient Servant,
(Signed) COC Il RA NE."
" I hold the thousand dollars as part of the proceeds of that
part of the cargo landed t Arica."

Extract of a letter from Santiago de Chili,
dated.3oth of June, received by way of Buenos
Ayres :-44 In political affairs we are going on
well, though not with the rapidity which the
.upeuing of the campaign had promised. The
army of San Martin was rendered inactive for
some time in lluaura by the tertian ague and
fever, and lost many men ; still the Viceroy
feared to attack them. The sickness having
ceased, San Martin embarked with 2,500 men
for Ancon, near Lima, where, by the last ac-
counts, he was treating with the Viceroy a se-
cond time. Arenales, with a strong force de-
, tached by San Martin, was up in the Sierra, and
daily expected to encounter the Royalist Gene-
ral Riceafort, who is said to be cut off from
Lima., Lord Cochrane embarked about 500 men
under Colonel Miller, an officer of great merit,
and made an unexpected descent upon Arica,
where he took 200,000 dollars in cash and a
large quantity of goods and other booty : the
battalion of Arica joined the forces of Miller,
who was left marching on Moquegua, and
if not seriously opposed would endeavour to cap-
ture A riquipa : this would much embarrass Lima,
and probably cause the insurrection of Cuzco.
Bolivar sent from Esmeraldas 800 men, by sea,
to Guayaquil, where they had arrived under
a Colonel Mackintosh, and would proceed to-
wards Quito on that side, whilst Bolivar's forces
would attack it from Partas. Deputies have
been sent, from hence'to Chiloe, which is in great
want of provisions, to endeavour to persuade it
to join the cause of this country. Our communi-
cations with Buenos Ayres are very scanty, but
the late events on that side will probably make
them more frequent for the future. Here we en-
joy perfect tranquillity ; our financial affairs are
rapidly improving, and the Government paper in
circulation cannot now exceed 200,000 dollars :
the discount is now trifling, and it is expected
soon to be at par."
