IMPORTANT.SUCCESS OF LORD COCHRANE.
The Gezrta Ministerial of Chili. published at San-
tiago on the 19th of February hru, contains the fol-
lowing' dispatch from Lord Cochrane relative to the
expedition against Valdivia :
On board the Goleta Montrznine. in
• Port of Valdivia, 4th Fens. 16211.
Ste,-1 had the honour to inform son from Talcahuano,
that I had availed inYmlf of the oppo.rtunits of commenica-
ileg with Colonel Enrier'on the newt atonable means of
expelling the enemy from the South of Chili, and 'delivering
that country from future incursion. This melons and sr-
tive officer was thus enabled on the /Sit alt, to furnish me
with troops and other assistance. In consequence the
O'Higgins, the brig Intrepid, and time Goletia Montezuma.
set sail with a favonrable wind, and on the _.td inst. reached
the•position determined upon. IA leagues to the South of
Valviii in. there the troops were embarked on bland the two
smaller sessels, which. quitting the O'Higgins. proceeded
to the plaint-ailed the English watering-place. where we an-
: eficired at a proper distance from the battery and fort of Sau
Carlos. At sun-set, the troops disembarked, but not with-
out being /red on by the restless, nor ousel the enemy had
found Sine consequence of the delay occasioned by the
-breakers un the shore) to collect a considerable force be-
hind the ratio.
Having leaded a idiom the marines of do. 011ip
gins }tad Intrepid, torther with the land forces, put the
enemy to eight, and pursuing him to the Kaglish fort and
fort San Carlos, obtained possession of the first haute-
Mutely. The other was taken by assault after night-fall. is
spite of ell the efforts which the enemy made to defend it.
The rapidity with which we raptured the forts and batte-
ries of the Avemeade. Harm Americus, and Chorocounayo,
tan only he compared .with the valour and resAution of the
Maws eqd troops who entered su ith the enemies they pur-
sued into the ensile of Corral, the last point which remained.
Thus fell all the betteries and forts of the Southern Rank,
the artificial force of which is nothing compared with that
which nature herself has afforded.
I herewith enclose the reports of Majors Remiche( end
Miller. the former rommanding the brave detachment of OU
men, with which Colonel Entire assisted me, the other mane
mending the marines. Of the gallant conduct of these two
*Seers, as teen seat Captain greaten. who eamitandal
the detachment of the Intrepid. and of the other pikers, I
can say nothing in praise which will not fall short of their
deserts ; and I must therefore recommend them, In expres-
sive silence, to the consideration of his Excelleney the tio-
prem. Director.'
I hail almost forgotten to mention, that the forts and bat-
teries mount in all shout 11l pieces of cannon, and that we
have taken in the port the frigate Doleres.
I have the honour to he, Re.

SANK by Major BEACHEY and Major MiLLett: after
which come the other dispatches of Lord COCIIIIA N F..
Port of Valdivia, 3th Feb.
BM—(saving resolved to avail myself of the advantages
obtained )esterdey by our valiant officers and troops, the
Montezuma this morning passed the forts of Niebla and
Mincer', in cosnyanv with tiw brig Intrepid. and both speller-
ed beyond the fire of the Corral, without having received any
other damage than two bolls which struck the brig. The
troops immediately embarked In those two vessels to enter
the river and take possession of the enemy's head-quarters
in the battery of Piojo; but scarcely had we set sail when
the O'lliggings appearing off the rock of Gonzalo in the
mouth of the harbour, the garrison abandoned the works and
fled with precipitation.
• Our plan being varied by this unexpected retreat of the
enemy, the Montezuma and Intrepid approsehed the land
as cheer as possible, and disembarked the troops at Niebla,
whilst the tide served for the boats to trawsport them to
Valdivia. Thus have been directed against the enemies of
liberty and independence, the hundreds pieces of artillery
of their own castles, forte, and batteries.
Gad preserve yon. Re.

Ilead.quarters Valdivia, Erb. 6.
Rte,—The troops had already entered the boats, is order
to parser the dying garrison as far as Valdivia, when we
saw a flag of truer coming down the river. By this we were
informed that the enemy had abandoned theeity in the greatest
consternation. We,• on our pert. have omitted nothing to
protect the people. Those individuals who had abandoned
their homiest begin already to return I and I hope that
.4lte
flovernor whom the people will have to elect to-morro* will
consolidate order and tranquility.

SaII:RDA r, Jrbs '22.—.t true bill was found by the
Grand Jury on Thursday against the proprietor of
this journal, rir the alleged libel upon the
published ak the •Iteh of April. Yesterday morning
the indictment was removed by ,ertiorari into the
Court of King's !tench.
We had some intention of publishing a series of 'Jul.
titicatory documents skortly after the Editor's arrest.
The execution of the design was suspended by Me ab-
sence from town, and afterwards laid aside, bee:tinge it
was generally believed the prosecution was given up.
Now, IWO aver, he 'must jnstify himself ; and therefore,
again does hr pledge himself to prove true to the
letter every word that he has published in this libel."
The trial will not coin' mt till the Swing Assizes.

The following paragraph we extract front a (laiway
Paper:
It is our painful dote this day to advert to the per-
petration of a most malignant and atrocious outrage on
an officer's party of the 49111.1teginsent, by a numerous
body of armed peasantry, on the night of Friday, the
Ttis instant, at the ti ebe-km* of Clonfert, in this counts-,
The, sentinel on his post was assailed, and knocked
down by a stone, on which they deprived him of his
arms and •saaniositinp.s-He lay insensible for wine time
from the effects of lbit blows inflicted on hint. They
then attempted to &ice open the vard gate of the house
appropriated to the lasi. of the Military, but were re-
pulsed- on which duly renewed their assaults on the
sentinel, by placing e rope round his neck, with the in-
tention, as they intimated, of hanging hint on a tree ad-
jacent to the place, sal an example to the Corps to which
he belonged. This menace they however dispensed With
putting into execution, lint tendered au oath to him, and
on Isis having resolutely declined takinr it, a blunder-
buss was disc hargel at hint, the contents of which lodged
in his left arm. The poor fellow's arm, we understand,
having )isrentened a mortification, it was deemed indis-
; pensably necessary to have it misputated.,---(Comnavght
