Pretender to the Crown of Candy, appears to
been driven to great extremities. When the
former accounts came away, he had sought refuge in
forests of Wellies,. From these he bas been
lye* by the detachments sent in pursuit, one of
which was so near coming op with and capturing him,
the 7th of December, at to force him to abandon
palanquiu and emblems of Royalty, and fly, on (084
the jungle, esposing his life to the utmost peril
from the wild beasts and venomous reptiles with which
those places 'hotrod. The fugitive, hoirever, is be-
lieved to have made his way to the moontiiooes
of Walapana, called Weyaloowa, where be bas
joined a numerous body of Insurgents, whom our
troops continued to pursue, and must eventually
'lperse ; since the Insurgents were in general armed
ly with bows and arrows, and very few gem, and
le crowded into jungles, with little means of ob.
ining provision. In the district of ()ova attempts
had in vain been made to plant the standard of re.
It. Those natives of any consequence in this dis.
trict who had at first declared for the Pretender,
afterwards deserted him and reamed to their own
homes, stipulating only for exemption from capital
punishment or smile. We do not find that the
Northers part of the Island has been at all distotbed.

Advises have been reeoised from Chili and Buenos
Ayres, which reach from the former Province to the
Ith ,Decembee,.at. which date official accounts from
'General SAW kffleirrur bad arrived at the capital of
toiliago, stating that one of the Government vessels
had just entered Velparaists with two Spanish prises ;
one a ship with a cargo worth 500,000 dollar•, from
Cadiz, and the other a brig, bound from Lima to
Cadiz, with produce and a large sum in specie on
board. According to the declaration of the brig's
crew, it was understood that in last Decetuber, an
expedition was to leave Lima for the purpose of re.
conspiring Chill, coasiatiog of 4000 men, *nder the
command of Gene►al Osoato. In Peru, a key of
Americans, Europeans, and Mulattoes, hod been
carried into effect, in order to complete thoebeee
number, and they bad been formed on the basis of
1500 regulars just arrived from Spain.. Tilsis was
