Letters from Havannah to the 2tith ult. mention that
coffee nould probably rontinut at 22 rents., but that
sugar would decline. It also states, that the United
States schooner, Lynx, on her late cruise, touched at
Havannalt, and 'Alit it was generally supposed by the
inhabitants t'tat she had come to apprise the American
merchants of the probability of an immediate war, and
aid in removing their effects. Two days after, the ar-
rival of the President's message removed their fears, and
caused much rejoicings. There are many Americans
confined in the fortresses and prisons of the Havannah,
having been captured in Mexico, Flotida, and by price-
teem They suffer much from their treatment.

VALPARAISO, IIcT. !!--1t is a long time since there;
has been an arrival from the United States at Buenos
Ayres, and still longer since we have lu d the plesear•
of hearing from you. The squadron under Lord Coch-
rane sail,-.! f this port on the 10th, 12th, and 14th
ult.; and from Cotinembo, where they stopped to take
101) men, on the 1; tll. The ships are in fine order,
a:4l officered and manned, with rockets, and his Lord-
ship is determined to do something brilliant. The Bea-
ver, was at Callao, and had made a great freight ; the
Canter was also at Callao, having brought a cargo
from Cacasmano ; the Pallas, of Boston, was also
there, with several other veurfs. We are afraid that
Lord Corlarane will fall in with some of these vessels, as
he is desirous of getting prize-money. We fear they
would be condemned in ease of being taken.
Tint SPANISH MAIN.—.t letter dated St. Thomas's,
on the 11th of December, says, " I have only time to
inform you that a vessel arrived yesterday from a
' Royalist port, and brings the important intelligence of
Bolivar being at the head of 15,000 inenovell disciplined,
and marching rapidly for Caraccas. Murillo has only
about 4,000 men to oppose him. There is hut little
doubt that this campaign will put an end to the war in
that quarter; in fact, we consider here that the inde-
pentlence of Venezuela is established."

WITINESDAT, JAN. 12.—M►. Pleasants,

port of the petition which was read.

propriations fur the Naval Service, in addition to those
