PROW TIM RAPAPORIRE TILRGRAPH.

The following extract; from an interesting letter
which we have received from Rio Janeiro, contain later
intelligence from the Brazils and the South Pacific than
any yet published:

RIO JANEIRO, APRIL 9.
We have just received accounts frosts Coquimbo, of
the 9th of February, which state that a revolution had
taken place in the Government at St. Jago de Chile ;
that the existing Ministry, when in audience, were sad-
deisly arrested from their Constitutional chairs, by a
guard of soldiers, and at the point of the bayonets were
placed under arrest. Freire, the former Governor, hear..
ing of this proceeding from behind the curtain (as it
were), and who could, from. his popularity with the
army, command with certainty its entire obedience, as
soddenly surrounded this new junta, seized the whole
body, and threw them into prison, reinstating, at the
same moment, the former Constitutional body.
A short time previous to the departure of the Cant-
bridge from Callao, Admiral Guise (formerly a Com-
mander its the British service), who had been so long
and unjustly kept under an arrest by the Government
of Peru, underwent his trial by court-martial, and, after
the fullest investigation of his conduct, wts acquitted of
all the charges brought against him, reinstated in his
former rank as Admiral and Commander-in-Chief of
the Peruvian navy, and awarded all his arrears of pay,
prize-money, &c.—an event which gave universal sa-
tisfaction to all classes, and on which occasion he
received the usual salutes of honour in such cases
from all flags.

The fortress of Callao. which used to be a scene of so
much ir.terest to us, and misery to others, and on which
were mounted upwards of 150 guns, has now become
the Customhouse of the port, instead of at Lima, and
all the cannon dismounted, except a few piece, for ge-
neral salutes. Trade was very dull, and heavy com-
plaints from the merchants at Lima and Callao. The
most active people there appeared to be the French,
with their bad wines, gewgaws, and lace, with which
they too successfully gulled the fantastical Limanians.
A variety of specimens, the productions of the mines,
are sent home in the Cambridge, as also a fine collec-
tion of plants, among which are several bcautil ill dwarf
species of the Cactus, from the Cordillera of Chili, and
the splendid Auraucanian pine, in the fullest vigour and
6ne condition. Several of these plants are intended
for the Horticultural &ciety, and many for private
individuals.

The Ganges, 84., lying here, Rear• Admiral Sir Ro-
bert W. Otway, is prepaiing to sail for the rivci PiAte ;
the Forte is gone on a shott cruise off Cape Fiio, for
tbe benefit of the health of the Hon. Mr. Gordon, our
Chargo d'Affaires at the Court of Brazil ; the Heron has
sailed for Bahia and Pernambuco; the R4l ger is at
Monte Video, but she is to go round the Horn, and to
be relieved by the Forte.

The Buziflan squadron are fitting for the purpose of
conveying reinforcements to their army and navy at
Monte Video and in the river Plate, to accomplish which
even British subjects are seized and sent on board the
Brazilian ships of war. Those who are so fortunate as
to get their cases 14ii before the Commander-in-chief,
