LORD COCHRANE.

A letter from Buenos Ayres, dated the 7th of July,
states, that intelligence had arrived from Valparaiso,
announcing that the blockade of the coasts of Peru
by Lord Cochrane had been declared by Sir Thomas
Hardy not to be in conformity with the law regu-
lating similar operations, and that therefore it could
not be recognized by the• British 'squadron. This de-
claration of Sir Thomas Hardy is in the form of a
•erbal communication, made to a deputation of Bri-
tish Merchants at Valparaiso, on-board his Majesty's
ship Creole. He stated totem—
lat. That he had just retained from 'Callao, where be bad
zone in the hope of redressing were' grievances, which the mas-
ters of vessels, and several other individitals, had sustained from
the Commanders in Chief and Captains 9f she Bleckaaini &Ps-
dron before Callao, not only in the unjust detention of several
vessels, but in the • wiwarrantable poster- assumed by the Chili
squadron, in preashig seamen of said detained vessels, and other
British subjects; which individuals, on being demanded by Cap-
tain Spencer personally, and Sir Thomas Hardy by letter, were
refused by the Captain of the O'Higginsto be given up ; by which
act insulting the Officers of his Majesty and the British flag.
" 2d. That the declaration of blockade by the Chili etreem-
tient in August last comprehends and includes the whole coast
of Peru ; and as the Chili squadron have only vessels to blockade
ten or twelve leagues of said coast, their persisting to declare the
whole under blockade vitiates their declaration : therefore he is
determined not to allow that any blockade ever existed."
By the last intelligence from Peru, Lord Cochrane
had taken possession of Arica, where he had captured
and detained several Spanish and English vessels.
On the 30th April General San Martin embarked
at Huacho, with about 1000 of his army, on an expe-
dition, the object of which was supposed to be Panama.

We are happy to announce the safe return of his
- MAJESTY to the shores of Old-England. The fol-
'lowing is an extract of a letter received from the
agent to Lloyd's at Milford, dated atone o'clock on
Sunday afternoon;
" The aquadrau, with the Kam op board, all well; has just put
b here."

The particulars of his Ktsr.sris progress, down
to his final departure from Ireland, will be found in
,our subsequent columns.

Letters have been received in town frbm Odessa,

of the same date as the accounts which we published
yesterday from the French Papers, namely, the 14th
of August, the.day after the arrival there of Baron
SIROGONOFf. It appears that on his Excellency's
leaving Bujukdere, the usual honours were paid to
him by the Turkish Authorities; and the Janissaries
and populace who witnessed his departure, are said,
to have conducted themselves in the' most respectful
manner. Previously to his quitting Constantinople,
the Porte had given orders, that the passage of the
Dardanelles should be opened, and. that the naviga-
tion should be free to vessels laden with corn. These
orders had excited great satisfaction at Odessa'; and,
as the detention of the Russian corn vessels was the
first cause of complaint, it was reasonably expected
that the chief obstacle to an accommodation had'
been thus removed.

We have also seen letters from St. Petersbtirgh,
three days later in date than those received from
Odessa. They are from respectable sources, and are
Of a pacific character. The fleet which had sailed
from Cronstadt, under the orders of Admiral CROWN,
and which at the time gave rise to a great deal of
speculation, came to an anshor before Revel on the
Ist of August. It was expected to return to Cron-
stadt before the end of that month. When it first
sailed, it Ass stated with confidence that the Medi-
terranean was its destination; and that it was to co-
operate with the Russian armies in the event of hosti-
lities. This fine speculation, like many others of the
same stamp with which the Public have been so long
amused, is thus overturned.

The Paris Papers of Saturday arrived this fore-
noon, but are quite barren of news.
