Creniev of this extended but unpebpbed Continent. The
Asia, 71., and Aguiles brig. from Cully., are expected to
ir, at this time at Lima. The Franklin (United States)
stipvosed to have left Callao, to rerorn home direct,
leaving the frigate United States in that harbour. ,•
The Consular appointment. 01 la•t year have been
well received by the G.,vettirpent-, and by the merchants

" Lima, possessed and lrkassed, taxed, and plundered,
by all parties, in their turn, and now worried by the
Alontaneros, or rot int Guerillas of the hilly country; is'
reduced to much distress by the dearness of the neces-,
.alies of li:et—poultry is sold in gun) ters, like oxen,'
si ce,s, and pigs, in London. American flour is now their'
chief dependence, and is dear; as it is also even in Chili,,
at thi. time.

" Nothing is known here of Mexico.—The expedition
of the Chilians against the Island of Chiloe, has entirely
failed.—The inhabitants, assisted by about 400
Spaniards, and defended by their woods and morass,
and the wind and lain 61 the bad season, have fought
for, and defended their old King, their old Government,
and Religion, to which they still adhere. They ate
chiefly of Indian detcent."

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
Damn Aran, JvLir 31, 1824.
By this opportunity I have forwarded you news-
papers to the present date inclusive, and shall continue
sending them by every packet; however, unless they
make better passages home than they do out, by mer-
chant ves.4l.tiiLiverpoolwill be the quickest conveyance.
There is nothing new of any pa; ticular interest to in-
form you of, but vie are anxious of intelligence from'
Lima, to know.what progress Bolivar has made against
the old Spaniards; yet it is so far distant from us that
the consequence of the Spaniards being in Lima is not
so great as it may appear, so long as they respect fo-
reign pro, erty,and allow the trade we require of them.
Every one feels confident of Bolivar's early success in
his attack against his adversary; indeed the root of
patriotism having once began to shoot, it will gradually
grow there, in spite of every effort to eradicate it.
Everything goes on well here, and we have a firm
and honest Governor, who is very active in the support
of all ju,t laws.
Time may be a rumour get abroad with you, that
we have had. t.cibie broils hese, but they are without
foundation, and it miginates only from the retiring of a
Calonel from a Militia Corps; we had no disturbance,
nor was them ever the intention of any.

Extract of a letter from the Agents to Lloyd's, at
Valparaiso, dated May SI Yesterday mottling, the
privateer Quintinella was brought into this port, by the
French corvette Diligente. The cot vette had detained
her in Quilca, but the Viceroy requested her release, to,
take dispatches to Lima. She sailed in the afternoon;
after dark, stood in towards the corvette, and was per-
ceived coming in a way to rake her. To the astonish-
Ment of the French Captain, she fired on him, and, at-
tempting to board, was beaten off: she then bore up,
and tried to escape. The corvette had 17 hours chase
to get up with her. There is some fear that the French
will release him, though the Captain is a mere pirate.
The Vigra, you have already been advised, is retaken.
The only privateer on the coast, that we know 01; is the
13roja, a very small brig, formerly the Lancashire
Witch. We doubt her doing, mach damage, being a
very inferior vessel to the Quintinella. The Lily, sloop
Of war; American schooner Dolphin; Congress, Peru-
vian brit; ; and United States frigate, are looking out for
her. iVe are assured that the Tartar came from Callao.
and cruised two days at ,ea, to pick up and detain these
privateerc. We have no intelligence yet of any Spanish
squadron being on this side the Mari. His Majesty's
ship Cambridge, Captain Mating, sailed on the 27th
"It- fur Lima."
