" BALTIMORE, APRIL 30.

" Ficm Sotrrtr AmesticA.--Captain Partlow, ar-
rived here yesterday, informs that on the 12th of
February the Chilian Government made a solemn
Declaration of Independence, which the inhabitants
of Buenos Ayres were preparing to celebrate by illu-
minations, &c. at the time of his sailing.
" On the Ist of March the American Commis•
sioners had their first audience with the Supreme Di-
rector, and were cordially received. The inhabitants
generally were much elated by their arrival. Mr.
De Forest came passenger in the Plattsburg, and has
proceeded on to Washington, with dispatches from
the Commissioners. This Gtntlew.an came to this
country as Consul-General of the United Provinces
of South America.

" The political and military state of South Ame-
rica has varied but little•for many months past, with
the exception that the army of the Royalists in Chili
has been augmented by reinforcements front Europe,
and were again making offensive operations, but no-
thing was feared from the results. Artigas still re-
mained at his capital of Purification, and seems to
bid defiance to all he world."
