We subjoin An extract of a iettei which bias beed
feceived t i orn Santiagii de Chili, dated March 1. We
mentioned yesterday that Lord Coonilitte's squi.
dron had been spoken with : it was by the ANDRO34I-
- frigate, on February 15th, about twelve l.onti !ail
from Callao; so that between that period and•the lit
of March, the date of this letter, there Was ample
time for the execution of the achievement, of which
the following is a brief account :

" SANTIAGO DE CHILI, MARCH 3.
" Intelligence Has just arrived here from Coquimbo,
that Lord Cochrane had, as he expected, met v, itli
the Esmeralda and Venganza frigates in the port of
Arica, a few leagues to the south of Lima, a id hav-
ing taken one ofihent, he drove the other ashore, and
blew her up. This account.is rendered the more pro-
bable, as it was known that the Viceroy of Peru had
sent to Mica, to embark all the disposable force of
the place for the defence of Lima."

?'HE COMETS

Till after midnight the sky was so hazy last night
as to prevent this phenomenon from being seen in
the neighbourhood of the Metropolis ; but before one
o'clock it became pretty visible, and continued so till
the sun's light began to approach the horizon. This
comet, as we mentioned yesterday, is the same that
was described in 7he Philosophical Magazine for
March last year, and is now on its return from its
nearest approach to the sun. The moan being now
on the want, the comet may be expected to become
better defined from this time till some days after next
new moon—the absence of the moon's light render-
ing that of the comet more visible.—Some of our
Readers may, perhaps, not be aware of the fact, and
therefore we mention it, that telescopes with high
magnifying powers are not the best adapted for view-
ing such a phenomenon as is now presented to us.
Where mere curiosity only is to be gratified, a good
Opera-glass may be employed with advantage.
This comet was seen in the Northern parts of the
kingdom before it was observed with us. It was ob-
served at dinburgh on Thursday last, and more disc
tinctly than it bas yet been seen here. Its nucleus is
reptesented as having appeared there very brilliant,
and of about three-fourths of the diameter of Jupiter ;
and the whole breadth of the coma, of head, as about
thrice the diameter of the nucleus:
