By a late arrival from Chili we learn that Genera
SAN MARTIN has resigned his authoi icy in Peru and
returned to Valparaiso. This event iA announced in
a Paper published at Mendoza. The Surplement to
that Paper, dated the 29th of October. •ay.

" On the 13th of the present month his Excellency General
San Martin arrived at Valparaiso. His abdication of the su-
preme command, and his separation from the brilliant theatre of
his glory, is one of the remarkable and important events of this
age of wonders.

"PROCLAMATION OF GENERAL SAN MARTIN:

" I have witnessed the declaration of the independence of the
States of Chili and Peru : I have in my possession the standard
which Pizarro bore in subjugating the Raspire of :he taus; and
I cease to be a public man. Thus are recompensed,with usury,
ten years of revolution and war.
" My promises to the people where I have waged war are ful-
filled; they were to make them indePendem, and to have the
chdice of their-Government to themselves.

The presence of a successful soldier (however disinterested
he may be) is alarming to newly-constituted States; and, on the
other hand,•,l am vexed to hear it said that I wish to become a
Sovereign. I shall indeed be always ready to make the last sacri-
fice for the liberty of the country, but in the character of a pri-
vate citizen, and nothing more. •
" With respect to my public conduct, my countrymen may
(as in general) be divided in opinion; the truth will be told by
their posterity.
" Peruvians!—l leave you the National Representation esta-
blished: if you give it your entire confidence you may sing a
song of triumph ; if not, anarchy will devour you.
" May wisdom preside over your destiny ; and may it be the
height of felicity and peace. (Signed)

4, JOSE DE SAN MARTIN.
" Pueblo Libre, September 20,18'22."

It appears evident, from the private letters, as well •
as the papers received by the last List.on packet, that
no mutiny had taken place among the troc.ps on boar& A
the. transports in the Tagus, nor had the treoquillity,
of the Poi tuguese capital been disturbed for a mimeo. 4
The greatest enthusiasm and unanimity pres.,:w
among all classes, who were determined to make every
sacrifice in defence of their country and its new insti.
tutions, in case they were attacked. The Verona
Congress. and the declarations emanating from k,
had excited 'the utmost indignation in the breasts of
the Portuguese, and the threats they contain are, by
the public papers, spoken of with the utmost contempt.

Charleston Papers to the 24th of December have
been received this morning, from which we make
the following extract :

FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER OE DECEMBER 28.

FROM THE PACITIC.--All the Chilian squadmil,
except the Lautaro, were at Valparaiso: the sloop of
war Auracano, which was taken possession of by the
crew, was supposed to have proceeded for the ;
tic Ocean. The Supreme Director, O'Higgini,lia
resigned his office, but had ,een re-elected for five
years. Business of all kinds was extremely dull. ;

Cape of Good Hope Papers were received this
morning at the New England Coffee-house, to dr„i
4th of January. The following are extracts:

CAPE TOWN, NOVEMBER 16.-

The Luna, which arrived in Table Bay on Wednes-
day last, brought a full cargo of wheat, amounting .
to 5,000 bags : the Regalia, expected to sail shortly
after, is said to have a part cargo of wheat and flour
for this place. The reports from the neighbouring
districts, of the state of the wheat crops, are favour-
,
able, so that, by the blessing of PROVIDtNCEI theta
are well-grounded hopes that plenty will re-appear.
The Leander, Captain Richardson, bearing the
flag of Rear-Admiral Sir H. Blackwood, arrived in
Simon's Bay on the 11th inst. from the East Indict,
She brings intelligence of the death of Dr. Middle-
ton, late Bishop of Calcutta.

It having been reported to his Excellency, the
Governor, that the canine madness had unfortunately
made its appearance, bis Excellency has been pleased
to give orders that the matter be referred to the ablest
medical gentlemen.
Saving Banks have been established in Cape Town.

So general a feeling pervades England, and pate-
cularly the metropolis, of the atrociousness of the at.
tempt to destroy the Spanish People—that People
from whose unconquerable Tit* liberty first dawned
upon the European Continent—that subscriptions '
upon the point of being opened, to aid this new ever-
tion which the Peninsula has to make. -
