DETAILS OF THE EVENTS IN CHILOE.

The Serjeant Major of the 4th battalion, Geronimo
Jose Val e n suela,tommunicate s the following intelligence:
“ On the night between the 24th and 25th of April,
arrived at the port of San Carlos, in the English vessel
Alexander Adams, Don Pedro Aldunate, brother to the
Governor, Don Jose Santiago, coming from Callao. The
said Don Pedro brought from Lima a commission to
raise the troops in the garrison in favour of Don Bernardo
O'Higgins, with a'particular charge of treating for this
purpose with Don Manuel Fuentes, Serjeant Mijor of
Artillery, who, on.account of the absence of the Gover.
nor, Aldunate, organizing the m;1 tia of that
,province,
held the situation of interim Governor. Fuentes and Don

Pedro Aldunate, taking advantage of these circum-
stances, brought spout an insurrection among the troops
at two o'clock in the morning of the 3d of May. To
accomplish this object ou the same night, the interim
Governor, ,Fuentes, went to the house of Valenzuela
(who commanded at the time the 4th battalion), ac-
companied by Captain Olivares, L;eutenant Rojas, and
Ensign bilva, all of the same battalion, and a patty of
soldiers, and, without any communication, surprised -
him, and took kiln pritioner, confining him in his quar-
ters in the same house. On the following day, Captain
Aranda and Lieutenant Motlen came to visit him, and
communicated to him that Captain Don Andres Oli-
vares had taken the command of the battalion; that-
Captain Don Antonio Henriques executed the duties of
Seisant Major in the same battalion; that the reason
for this insurrection was the arrival at these islands of
Don Pedro Aldunate, commissioned by O'Higgins to
effect it; that he assured them that General Bolivar
had offered O'Higgins &WO men to march upon
Chile; that the latter had net received the offer imme-
diately, requiring two months to form his determina-
tion; that for insuring his rbject, O'Higgins had sent
orders to excite a mutiny among the troops of Chile, as
u ell as Commissioners to the towns of Conception, San-
tiago, and Coquimbo, to form partisans among the
troops there stationed, and to have them ready to assist
him when he should enter Chile.
64 He knew that, without any opposition, the chiefs of
the insurrection could gain over in Chiloe the 4th bat-
talion and the company of artillery. The Governor,
Don Jose Santiago Aldunate, arrived at the city on the
said 3d May, at twelve o'clock in the morning, and at
night they apprehended him and made him prisoner,
along with the brother of the deponent, Adjutant Major
Don Francisco Valenzuela. The deponent knew that
the intention of the mutineers was to send the Governor,
Aldunate, to Valparaiso, in the brig. Livonia, which was
in the port of San Carlos, discharging her cargo to re-
turn to Valparaiso. In the night of the 4th of May the
deponent, his brother above-mentioned, and Lieutenant
Don Lorenzo Di.iz embarked on board the national
brig Levante, which sailed the following day to Valpa-
raiso. Tt:e commandant of that brig put on shore the
deponent and his brother on the coast of San Antonio
on the 27th instant, at their own request, out of fear
that the ship should not arrive soon enough at Valpa-
raiso, to which they were destined; and they arrived on
the 27th at eight, Lieutenant Diaz having remained cft,
board, because he hacf not boldness enough to leap on
shore. At the moment of the deponent's arrival at Val..
paraisn, and after his conversation with the .Goverear,
he proceeded to this capital, where he arrived to-day at
six o'clock in the mornine

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

Consols, which remained steady in the early part of the morning
at 80,1 to i for the Account, has, within this half hour, taken a
sudden change, and the market has become very heavy. Consols
have receded to SO for the Account, and 79i 80 for Money. Two
Hundred Thousand have beta sliped out by one person. It is
supposed the deficiency in the Quarter's Revenue is operating on
the market.

It is now understood that the cause of the Chißan Dividend not
being paid in due time, was not owing to the want of the Funds,
but originated in a difference between the Chilian Government
and the Contractors of the Tobacco Duty, at whose loss the pro.
sent Rate of F.:change would fall, making a difbrenco of Thirty-
three per Cent.
In the Foreign market there is not much doigg.

It is again positively asserted; on the credit of two
Qerman Journals, that the Russians have Used the 7th of October
peremptorily, as the last day for the Porte to answer their propo-
sitions; which, if not thee accepted, the Russian army is to cross
the Pruth. Nothwithstanding the above assertion, private letters
from most respectable sources in Austria, state positively that there
is no likelihood of any rupture between the Turks and Russians
at present.

Jamaica Papers to the 15th August have been re-
ceived at the North and South American Coffee-house.
The following is from a Paper of the 13th :
a We have received Panama Gazettes up to the 28th
ult. by which it appears that suspicions being entertained
with regard to the tranquillity of the Republic, in con-
sequence of the operations of the enemy at Cuba, the
internal disturbance of the Isthmus, and the existence nI
auspicious characters therein, the Assembly was con-
voked in Panama on the 3d July, to discuss on the ne-
cessary measures to be adopted for the defence of the
Republic : the result of which was a proclamation.—
These suspicions of alarm having subsided, another
proclamation was issued on the 25. th to that effect, and
by which it appears, that the military command referred
to in the former 'one, ceased in the exercise of its extra-
ordinary functions; and the Fiscal or Attorney General's
opinion on these reports are, that an Assembly could
not be convoked on snore equivocal and unfounded in-
formation, stating in support of which, that every one is
aware that the forces in Cuba were not only insufficient to
attack Colombia, but that they were incapable to pro-
tect the very island itself; that the Spanish squadron
that was ploughing the coast of Colombia had no troops
for disembarkation, and that the very sailors were novices
in the art of navigation ; that in the Havannah they
were compelled to burthen the inhabitants with heavy
taxes; that they neither had transports nor means to
carry on the war, and were compelled to station three
divisions, of 6,000 men each, in Cuba, Havannah, and
Puerto Principe, to defend the attacks of Colombia,
which were dreaded."

In these Papers there is a long manifesto, addressed
by the Commandant General of Orenoco to his people,

on the motives which had led him to declare the pro-
vinces of the department tinder martial law: It begins
by stating, that the situation of Venezuela is truly piti-
able—that she is a prey to a fatal spirit of discord ; that
the Municipalities of Valencia and Cataccas have exceed-
ed their authority, in exercising that which not even
the nation itself possesses, so long as the Constitution
is in vigour. It futtber states, that the Department
of Venezuela, in recognizing the authority of a Military
Chief, who is impeded from exercising it, and in ne-
glecting that of the First Civil Magistrate of the depart-
ment, has acted in violation of the order established by
the Consitution and the laws. This strange and singu!ar
conduct appears to iniicate a total perversion of the at-
tributes of all the public functionaries, and this disorder
seems to have been done at the instigation, and with
the support of, the military force.—lt further adds, that
12 000 warriors are now on their way to Venezuela,
under the orders of his Excellency the Liberator, who
returns from Peru, and part of that force has already
arrrived at Panama. (Signed) BERMUDEZ.
