Though the Congress had called on the Capitalists
for their aid, in order to pi ocure certain supplies, the
effect of which depended on promptitude, all sumr
advanced had been made payat,l2 at the Custom
ilouse, and past experience a,:d the known good faitie
of those in power inspired the fullest contideLce.—
To the credit of Buenos Ayres it may be said, that
notwithstanding the changes which preceded the ad.
ministration of the present Supreme Director,
the manner in which the war hiss always gr.:vitated
on the capital, every particle of public deb: which had
accumulated was in a forward state of liquidation.
The Chili letters advise, that the Royalists Li
evacuated their position of Talcahuano, in the pro-
vince of Conception, and proceeded down to Lit::a.
This was the only point in Chili the Spaniards held
'after the battle of Maipo ; and their views in hoidilg
it are depicted in an intercepted letter from Lima
viz. to avert the war from Peru ; but they Ixtd
covered this was no longer possible. The Patriots
had never pressed upon it, as they preferred se&ng
their enemy disunited, and their only two corps oi
defence at a distance from each other. The me
active preparations had been made to equip tlle
squadron, which would be ready for sea about the
middle of November. Six months' pay had been ad-
vanced to the crew of the Cumberland in order to
induce them to enter the service. The arrival et
Lord POCIIRANE was anxiously expected, when cr.
rations would commence.

His Britannic Majesty's frigate Andromache hp.-1
arrived from Lima, where the Commander had
his endeavours to have the port opened to British
commerce. The VICEROY had convened the Bo.lrd
of Trade, who had opposed the measure ; but, as n•.)
other resource was left, it was expected the mercl•-•-,s
would b over-ruled. As soon as the wants of t.h.!
capital of Peru, and the disposition of the ‘'lcEttc-:
were known in Chili, the Government had come to
a determination to allow wheat to be shipped,
under bond of four dollars per fanega that it wcu.a
not be landed in Peru. Shipments were prepatinF,
;our being extremely high at Lima ; and by this new
measure it was expected a considerable revenue would
be created in Chili.

All the accounts from Old Spain confirm the fact,
that the Government is using the utmost elation to
send nut a new Expedition from Cadiz for South
America: but so low is the Treasury, that it is thong -t
at least six months will expire before it can put to
sea—and even then the whole force will not, it. is IT..
licved, exceed eight thousand men. Of the result we
entertai►► no apprehensions. Already, since the cos-
nracemeut of. 1810, hat Spain seat out &iv-titres
