T.:quir horn. the President the suspens'on of the order,
-for embailcing the prisoners, Don Joan Antonio
Don Jose Antonio Roxas, and Dcctor
Vern, ::cussed of having spoken against the State-;
the whole of them answering for the security of
their persons, obsZence to their-Sovereign,. and pro-
- biking-. egainst the accusations, declaring that they
weela be aeswerable with their persons, properties,
and employsticuts,. the President answered they
must have been
_deceived ; that the order -which he
',int the evening hisfere by Captain Burns to Valise-
re.:izo, was their restoration to Santiago ; but
that aheve ell he weold listen to them no longer, and
, . that if he chose not one of them 'should quit the Pa-
lace. s They repiisd that they would open a passage,
as they had IQ,COO men for that purpose. 'The Pre.
;dent said that he had .20s000 men, which so much
eiespersited them, that they demanded justice from
-the Tribunal of the Ausliencia, when about 300 of the
first persons of the city entered, with the Cabildo be-
fore them, and the square fell of the lower order of
the ftnple, making a 'great remise; at which Senor
A rginnedo, as I's votary- General of the illustrious
Ayureamierao, cane forward and demanded, that
ahe order Fhoilld be revoked which was issued by the
• Captain-General the day before, for the embarking
of Litt. prisr.r. rs ; that they should be -conducted to
• th:s cosy, and placed in the barracks of San-Pablo, in
order that Om:), might be examined, and, if innocent,.
discharged ; and• that the Attorney-General Campos,
his. Secretary Re,•rs, and Menezes, Law Agent of
Covernment, sheold be suspended. The Regent,
who sees at the Meeting. came instantly forward, and
being informed of their demand, answered," This il-
lusi•riens Tribunal has for its motto Justice; therefore
Le oot the least uneasy, for the Audiencia will •pro-
toe: reason. We are informed of your demands; tout
in a place like this we cannot understand each other;
nor i, it natural that our determipations should be
stn. de in this place. much less with so many present;
therefore it is necessary we should consult in Council
to determine svh it ought to be done, not continuing
our deliberations more than a quarter of an hour. A.----
Leery one agreed to the proposition, answering, that
it was just, and the Audiencia, calling the President,
desired the people to listen to what was decreed, for
Ishich purpose the; entered the Sala del Acoterdo.—
At eleven o'clock, it Was declared, that the Pres:dent
was blameable ire not• •granting to the people what
they demanded, in saying that if they wanted any,
thing more he had troops to oppose them ; that they
agreed that the Csovesnor of Valaarezido should sus.
pend the order he had received for embarking the
Otte prisoners, and if the Vessel had sailed with tnem,
another should be dispatched immediately to over-
take her ; thataliesthree persons they named should
be suspended,. and that the Senior Judge, Don Jose
S.,e;;;oso C:ootelia, was named Attorney-General.
This ereer was read to the people, who answered
they were satisfied and contented ; the President on
_ their departure, said to them, ye have gained your
wishes.
In the night a report .was spread that the President
was-collecting a Force outside of •the city, to Seize the
ringleaaers, which caused a general alarm • all the
shop; and doors of the houses were closed, the streets
evere full of the principal inhabitants, armed, and
looming -at the house of the Alcalde Ysaguirre, and
that of peutenant-Colonel
.Don Manuel Capasos ;
200 men esere put under arms at the barracks of the
artillery, their Commander Reyna, directing them to
march outside, and stand guard there, as he had force
to protect the interior.
• • Another considerable body of cavalry Went to the
barrack.. of San Pablo, where the arms of theinfan-
,try and the cavalry of th; frontiers were deposited,
informing the officers that they had nothing to fear.
The streets presented nothing but groups of people,
and certainly it was a dreadful night for the robbers.

Leg the night, but all was as quiet as on Thursday.
At twelve .o'clock is the day the post 'arrived from
Valparedizo, with an account of the sailing of the

s.
mained sick,
