FRONI TTU D!LAWARE WATCHMAN.

We have seen in some of the Papers a letter from
Buenos Ayres, in which the writer states, that imme-
diately after the battle of liaipu General San
dispatched orders to Mendoza to put to death the
two' brotbereof General Garrera, atad.that they were
accordingly executed. atsehappy to have it in
our poster to contradict, in the-most acided manner,
a story so obviously inteoded to cost a sangninary
stain on-the brilliant reputation of the Liberator of
Chili. The explanation re hive received, from an
' authentic source, of this transaction, is as follows :
