ANOTHER DISPATCH.

" By the arri:•al yesterday of the brig Catalina, the defeat of
General Riccafort has been confirmed, as well as the other in-
telligence before communicated. The following is the substance
of the information :

" That the defeat of Gen. Riccafort has been total, he hav-
ing been completely beaten near Pasco by Gen. Arenales, after
a most obstinate contest, in which Gen. Riccafort lost a leg,
being struck by a spent cannon-ball, which killed his horse ;
that the whole of his division has been either killed, wounded,
or taken prisoners, excepting a few cavalry officers and soldiers
who escaped to Lima.
" That his Excellency Gen. San Martin concluded an ar-
mistice with the Viceroy of Lima, at the request of the latter,
for 20 days, with the object of agreeing upon certain points pro-
posed, the nature of which is not known : however, this is cer-
tain, that the invitation to treat was made by the Viceroy in con-
sequence of the loss of Riccafort's division.'
" I have the honour to transmit this to your Excellency for
your information, and for that of the Supreme Director.
" God preserve your Excellency many years.

BRITISH INTERESTS IN THE PACIFIC—PROCEEDINGS OF
LORD COCHRANE AND THE CHIL/AN SQUADRON.
[Extract of a Letter dated Buenos Ayres, Aug. 12.1
" On the 3th inst. we received advice from Chili to the oth
ult. The question of blockade pending between Commodore
Sir T. Hardy and the Chilian Government is now brought to
issue, and by their decree of the 23d June, the ports situated

between 11 deg. 48 min. and 13_deg. 51 min. south lat. only,
are declared in a state of blockade. On the 18th of June Lord
Cochrane was in the Bay of Ho, and levying duties on all ves-
sels trading on that coast at the rate of 18 percent. on the goods,.
and 31 per cent. further for the embarkation of specie ; the cal-
culated amount of duties he received from each vessel in goods.
The ship Admiral ,Cockburn and brig Robert huge, bound for
.Callao, had been detained by Lord Cochrane ; the former was
allowed to proceed in consequence of having supplied him with
a quantity of naval stores, and the latter, after having been
taken possession of, and ordered to Valparaiso for adjudication,
was restored on depositing on board the San Martin goods and
cash to, the probable amount of duties, and a license granted to
trade on the coast. A Spanish privateer had appeared off Val-
paraiso, supposed to be an English vessel seized by Benavides,
the Royalist Commander, in the Province of Conception, and
fitted out to cruise against all vessels bound for Chili. It was
reported that she had detained the Perseverance, an English
vessel. The ship Mary, of London Ford, has been detained
by the old, Spaniards at Arica for the last nine months ; but it
is expected that Capt. Hall, of his 31ajesty's ship Conway, will
get her liberated, with compensation for the detention and loss
of property."
[Extract of another Letter, dated Buenos Ayres, Aug. 12.1
" The bearer of the last advices frdm Chili is a British officer,
who is charged with dispatches from Commodore Sir Thomas
Hardy to his Government; we presume, relative to the state
of commercial affairs on the coasts of Chili and Peru. The
officer proceeds, in the schooner 'Tlalvina for Liverpool, by
which vessel we send this. The Superb, of 78 guns, has just
arrived to reinforce Sir Thomas as the-officer left ; and it was
expected that her appearance would bring about the redress of
many grievances complained of."

DESPATCH OF ADMIRAL SIR THOS. HARDY TO THE BRI-
TISH MERCHANTS AT SANTIAGO :-

" His Majesty's ship Creole, Valparaiso, June 25.
" beg you will acquaint the British merchants resi-
dent in Santiago, that I have received, by command of his Ex-
cellency the Supreme Director of the Republic of Chili, an
official copy of the decree of the 22d inst., modifying the for-
mer one of general blockade of the coasts of Peru of the 20th
August last, and limiting the attual blockade to be maintained
by the Chili= squadron off the ports situated between 11 deg.
48 min. and 13 deg. 51 south latitude.
" Although I cannot but express my acquiescence for the
future in this modification which is to commence in ,20 days
from the 22d inst., I have considered it my duty- to represent
to the Supreme Director, that my objections to the effects of
the decree of general' blockade against British vessels for the
periods prior to the commencement of the above modification,
that is, to the 12th of July next, are not removed, until I re-
ceive rders to the contrary from his Britannic Majesty's Go-
vernment. I have the bonour, &e.

[Extract of a letetr dated Santiago, July 8.3
" SANTIAGO p. 1.," CHILI, JULY 8.
" In consequence of the proceedings of the belligerents on
this coast, a meeting of the British merchants has been held
here, when it was resolved to address Sir Thomas Hardy, re-1
questing him to endeavour to put a stop to measures which, if
not productive of total loss, have at least proved of very serious
injury to British interests. The communications which have
been made from the Government to Sir Thom Hardy prove,
however, that, far from its being their intention to redress the
grievances complained of, they justify and uphold the proceed-
ings of their naval commanders.

s" The British ships Edward Ellice, Lord Suffield, and In.
dian, are still lying at Valparaiso -with their cargoes on board ;
the Prize Court has not yet decided on their cases, although
five months have elapsed since they came under consideration.
" The Columbia, of London, arrived at Valparaiso, was de-
tained at sea, and sent in for examination : her voyage was
from Arica to Quayaquil ; her case is also before the Prize
Court. The Lord Cathcart, of London, is in possession of
soldiers, put an board by Government, and the master in
custody on shore at Arica."

Copy of PROCLAMATION by. Lord COCHRANE, laying an
embargo on the port of Arica :

" ARICA, Mat' 21.
" INHABITANTS Or AnlCA—The calamities to which you
have been exposed by the mad opposition which was made to
the patriot troops will convince you that the liberty and inde-
pence of America are decreed by Divine Providence, and that
the unjust tyrannical government usurped by the Spaniards must
sink in the New World. It is my duty to warn you, that if
from henceforward any. Patriot should be insulted or persecuted,
or any resistance made to the Vatriot arms, the town of Arica
will become the monument of chastisement, and Its ruins will
announce to the whole world-that its destruetion has been the
result of the opposition which it made to its own liberty and
that of South America. The moment of your happiness is at
hand, if you wish
,to embrace that just cause, the defence of
which has been. sworn to; and 'the attainment of which is indu.
bitable. The embargo will cer4inue until the inhabitants of
Arica shall evince an adhesion tb the just cause, and shall begin
to act in that spirit. *-

Copy of a LETTER from the SUPERCARGO of the Robert
• Fudge to Captain HALL, of the Conway, giving an account
of the arrangements entered into between him and Lord
COCHRANE :

" ILO, JUNE 16.
•
" Sin,—ln consequence of your letter to me of this day's
date, I beg to subjoin the following narrative of my transac-
tions with the Commander-in-Chief of the Chili squadron, Lord
Cochrane, with the annexed documents :
" The Robert Fudge arrived at Arica from Rio de Janeiro
on the 25th of April, with a cargo of British manufactured
goods, and all the property of British mercantile houses in Rio.
IVe were very well treated by the authorities in Arica, under
the Spanish flag and had discharged six packages of goods when
the appearance Of the Chili squadron put a stop to our opera-
tions.

" On the 20th of May I first saw Lord Cochrane at Arica, on
my return from Tacna, where I had been confined some time to
my bed by a severe fit of illness, and on asking what he intend-
ed to do with my vessel, he said she was very suspicious a Spanish
property, and that he should most likely send her to Valparaiso
for adjudication, demanding my papers, when I gave up my
I bills of lading, which he stills holds in his possession. The
next,day he told me to order the Captain of the Robert Fudge
to prepare to get under weigh.for Igo, which I did, and on the
22t1 ult. the vessel sailed for this port, I remaining myself on
shore to come down by land, having got his Lordship's pass-
ilort to do so on account of some business I had to transact at
Tama. On My arrival here on the 30th May, I was informed
I his Lordship intended to send the Robert Fudge up to Val-
paraiso, which he confirmed to me verbally the next morning,
when I waited on him in person ; adding, that he had 'written
already to the Chili Government respectingthe Robert Fudge,
which vessel was particularly suspicious to him as having pro-
perty in the name of * * * * * of
Rio de Janeiro,' who he knew had been covering Spanish pro-
perty to a large amount. I therefore wrote him a letter on the
31st of May, desiring to know if I was to consider his verbal
communication to me of the detention of the vessel as decisive,
requesting a written answer. Ile wrote me a note desiring to
see me on board, and told me that the Admiral Cockburn and
Rebecca had paid him duties at, the. rate of 18 per cent. on
the cargo, and three and a half per cent. on the returns, if
made in specie, and that I must do the same, and that he
would not send the vessel to Chili for judgment. In order to
avoid so ruinous a step. to the owners of the cargo as sending
the vessel to Valparaiso, and being entirely at his mercy, I ac-,
quiesced in the arrangements, after in vain endeavouring to ob-
tain better terms, and sent on board the San Martin, on the 2d
instant, a bale of Russia duck, and a bale of ordinary cloth,
which he had requested. of me to do, this he returned with the
note of the 2d of June. I then sent hint six packages of the
most valuable goods I had ; and.the answer was to send an
officer and eight men on board to take possession of the vessel,
and take out all the crew (consisting of seven men,) excepting_
captain, supercargo, mate, cook, and steward. On the 3d of
June I wrote him the accompanying letter, ;Abandoning tic
vessel and cargo to him entirely, which produced his answer of
the same date. • On the sth inst. Capt. Wilkinson, commander
of the San Martin,' called on me, and asked why I refused to
give up the deposit goods to his Lorthibip; that if I would do
so, he would take ,on himself to send the Robert It crew
again, and liberate the vessel. Finding myself. in co Unplea-
sant a situation,Tg
agreed to assume my nips as acting for
the owners of the cargo, and accordingly delivered over to his

The most melancholy "accounts have been re-
ceived this week from all parts of the Island of
the deplorable effects of the long continued dry
weather. The craps of yams, expected about
this season, will be almost entirely lost, as well
as.every other kind of provisions; and it is fear-

ed that many proprietors will soon.be called upon
to purchase provisions for the negroes. .Many
cattle ..have perished for the want of water and
food; and the next crop of, sugar will be lost
throughout several districts, the cane being irre-
vocably withered. , With 'such a'miserable pros-
pect before us,, the reduction of the Poll Tai
last year, in consequence of the loan of 80,0004
may=be considered a most fortunate circumstance,
and we fear that other and larger loans must be
resorted to, to defray the expences of the public
contingencies, unless some immediate steps are
taken by Government for the'relief of the ruined
Sugar Planters, whose produce, at the present
prices and duties, even under favourable cir-
cumstances, do not afford sufficient profit to de-
fray the necessary contingencies of their estates.
BRIDGE TOWN, BARBADOES, JULY 31.---This
day his Excellency Lieut.-General Sir Ili:Nit*
WARDE, our Governor, opened the Assembly
with the following speech , .
" .31r. President, and Gentlemen of the Council,
" I feel truly sensible of the high honour
which his Majesty has been graciously pleased to
confer on me, by placing me as Governor over
such a 'most particularly aiia en-
lightened body of people as those of this old-
established Colony, and I can most conscien-
tiously affirm, that I do, and I hope ever shall,.
entertain an earnest desire to carry on the ar-
duous duties of my situation (as far as the frail-
ties of human nature will admit of), aided by the
very able advice of the President and Council; the
justice, integrity, and impartiality, according to
the best of my abilities. I could have wished to

have informed myself on many points connected
with my Government, but fearing being biassed
in my opinion by learning too much, I have pre-
ferred remaining in ignorance, hoping that
might gradually inform myself without any se-
rious detriment to your interests. I understand,
however, that some material defects have beau
discovered in the laws relating to the.msecw,
tion of slaves for criminal offences, which cannot
too soon be remedied, I therefore submit
subject to your immediate consideration."

The actions, or shares, which were originally worth a thou-
