TO THZ GOVERNOR Olr THY TOWN.

Sift—From the verbal examination which you were
pleased to command me to make, of Don Juan J. Gon-
zales de Hontenada and Don Vicente Silva, passengers
in the brig Livonia, from the island of Chiloe, respect-
ing the state of the Archipelago, it appears that the Pro-
vincial Assembly were to assemble the end of last
month; and, up to the time of their depaature, the 10th
instant, they had heard nothing of th proceedings,
excepting that, since its installation, the had protested
against any separation from the body o the Republic.

—With rispeCt to the troops, they say that a request
had been made for three men out of every company of
the Militia, to increase the regular force, which was
found to be deficient in its funds; and as to subsistence,
that they were collecting the tithes, remitting one•third
part, on condition of delivering the remaining two•
thirds in necessaries ; and that besides, they were seizing
all they could lay hands upon, as occurred with Dioni-
I sit) Hortenada, with a quantity of bi.cuit and provisions
of Don Ignacio Herrera.
They say, also, that in the town, and even with the
troops, there appears every disposition to favour Colonel
Aldunate, on his presenting himself amongst them.—
The inhabitants were desirous for this event ; and, chiefly,
they believed 'the militia would immediately join.
The disputes, also, of the Governor of Valdivia, had
influenced much the disaffection of the troop, which had
become apparent, notwithstanding the offers of inces-
sant supplies of numbers, which were to be conducted
by their old Colonel Sanchez.
No means are spared to create a favourable opinion
amongst the inhabitants, and amongst others not the
least important is that of the return of the Bishop and a
number of Ecclesiastics.

Theiespective officers follow their duties. No de-
tachment had been sent into the interior. nor more than
one officer Att by Colonel Aldan:de in Chacau..

, What I have now stated is the substance of that re-
lated by these passengers in consequence of the charge
you did m: the honour to confide to me, which I sub-
mit to you, with the assurance how much I pm, your
obedient servant, J. ESTEVAN FAB&
Vatuaiso, June 480.
!IMPLY TO THE GOVERNOR OF VALPARAISO.

I am desirous of expressing to you how much :alit•
faction the Supreme Director hits received, on my giv-

MITICLZI or we ACT mesa= or roe *mum, or canoe, MAT 25.
1. The Sovereign Provisional Assembly of Chiloe,
shall enjoy the inviolability due toil as a Sovereign, and
shall not be subject to any responsibility. 2. It shall have
the title of Lordship. 3. The political and military Go-
vernment of this province,shlltle presided by the trust-
worthy citizen, commandant of artillery, D. Manuel
Fuentes, with the title of Intendant Governor. 4. The
province shall be entirely governed by the Constitution
of the Republic of Chili, to which Republic it belongs
since the year 1818, in all matters in which it is not op.
posed to the religion we profess—to our rights as citizens
—or to the privileges of the Assembly. 5. This province
shall henceforth be free and independent of the Govern-
ment of the Republic of Chili, until a Government be
formed,legitimately constituted by the people—without,
however, its being understood, that the province is se-
parated from the Republic of Chili, to which it belongs.
6. The Sovereign Assembly, and its Members in par.
ticular. shall take the necessary measures for carrying
into effect the provisions of the preceding Articles, as
well as those for maintaining the Independence, until
the establishment of a legally constituted Government,
as mentioned in the last Article. 7. These Articles shall
be communicated to the Intendant Governor, for the
purpose of being published in the province, and for
transmission to the other provinces of the Republic.

(From the British Nast, a New English newspaper).
The Estancho has given notice to the Government,
that they will not provide for the interest of theloan for
next September, except their exclusive privileges are
insured to them ten years longer, which is impossible,
as it is an establishment which creates disgust..in the
breasts of every class of inhabitants in this Republic,
both native and foreign; and, if it had the protection
of Government, could not keep itself together, as all
persons have set their faces against it. Really, the lasses,
in consequence of this vexatious establishment, are visible
to the meanest capacity. All the ships of war of the dif-
ferent nations are supplied with spirits and provisions
from their respective countries. At Chiloe, the people
and troops broke into their warehouses, and carried
away the contents ; and I really expect, if it is continued,
that the same will be done at Santiago, Coquimbo, and
Conception.
There is an expedition now fitting out against Chiloe.
Colonel Ripper commands the troops; he is a very fine
young man, a good Officer, beloved by the soldiers, and
deserving of every success.
Oa the 25th of June an expedition sailed from Val-
paraiso for Cbiloe, under the command of Col. Aldunate,
composed of 400 chosen men, between infantry and
artillery,—the transports Actwon and Resolution, and
the brig of war Aquiles. The brig Livonia arrived at
Valparaiso from Chiloe on the 30th; spoke the squadron,
and the Captain assured Colonel Aldunate that his ab-
sence had been sensibly regretted by the Chilots, who,
in the interior, solely desired arms to attack the chief,
Fuentes; and that the Assembly convoked by him for
the purpose of acknowledging the Government of
O'Higgins, had resisted, and declared that they obeyed
no authority but that to which they.had sworn alle-
giance. This news confirms the official communication,
directed to the Ministry by the Governor of Valdivia,
which repels, on the part of himself, and all the Valdi-
vians, those insinuations of insurrection made byFuentes,
who asserts, that O'Higgins calculates on all the means
and interest of Pero for the conquest of Chili.
We have only to hope, that the advanced season may
not be an obstacle to the snccessof an expedition formed
under such favourable circumstances, and with the
greatest activity. The troops are excellent; they ate
well paid, and carry 700 muskets and accoutrements.—
The Colonel Aldunate is an officer of honour ; and ilia
has been surprised once, he will for this reason know
how to take better precautions hereafter ; besides. he is
accompanied by Major Tupper, whose character is well
known, and whose valour cannot be better estimated
than by these words of our correspondent—" 400 brave
soldiers, and Tupper at their head, are sufficient to an-
nihilate all the negroes there may be in Chiloe." Every-
thing announces formal preparations to secure the Re-
public against any attack.
The Congress was installed the Ist of June, and on
the 4th it will begin its sessions ; and it is asserted, that
the Director Friere, firm in the resolution of resigning
his office at the time appointed by law, will deposit the
command in the persons whom the Congress shall elect.
The citizens who are pointed out by jublic opinion as
eligible to the office, are Messrs. Winos, Beraunte,
Blanes, and Borgono.
The Director has deposed from the Ministry BenT' Nobos.
=TRACT 01 A LITT= FROM ST. MOO, JUtY 1, 1826.
" On the 28th of June arrived, at Valparaiso, one
hundred and eleven seamen, from Callao, enlisted for
the squadron. This is important, and comes most op-
portunely, giving to the expedition a serious character.,
From the 15th of July to the Ist of August, I fully ex-
pect the vessels will sail. They are of the first class,
and having expert, valiant, chosen officers, besides from
700 to 800 able seamen."

In a tetter dated Monte Video, the 80th of July, it is
said, that the siege of Monte• Video is now so rigorous,
that the Patriots will not permit any thing to enter, and
the Portuguese will not allow even the baggage of fa.
mules to leave the city. The Patriot ranks are daily
augmenting. Leonardo Oliveras, with 300 men, arrived
lately, and it is supposed that part of the troops of Gen.
Rodriguez will leave the Durasno to reinforce the lines.
Other letters coatradict the homer part of this, relative to the
rigour of the slop. -
