We have been favored by Capt Townsend,
who arrived here OH Friday FROM Rio Janeiro,
with the following letters, which he received
at ST. Salvador.
Capt. Townsend informs, that in May last,
Portuguese ship arrived at Rio JaDeiro
from the African Coast, reported that an A
merican privateer had been there, and cap
turcd FOURTEEN sail Of vesscls-thrce of
which were Portuguese Guineamen. which
had been captured by the English. The A
mericans gave them all to the Portuguese
captains-Tbis caused much Joy among the
merchants there-and strengthens their good
opinion Of the American character there.
Capt. Porter, of the Essex frigatc, had fit
ted out the brig Colt, Of New York, which
vessel was cruizing with him.
.ane~ican Eee- Consul, dafed BuOnas .3yres, May
3, 1913.
s You will have heard ere this will come
to hand, Of an attack made by body OF troops
from Chiloc, Gan island near the main on the
Chill side) on the town OF Conception--Ze-
leubula is the port at the mouth of the river
Biahio, distant from which about l Ia leagues
higher up the river is Conception. The first
place surrendered after an obstinate resist
ance, and the detachment marched on to Con-
ccpuon-Thc gates of the town were thrown
open by the trcachery of the European oifi-
Ger, Col. Xinnives, left in command of a
regiment, and who had seduccd under false
pretexts his troops, which composed the
chief strength of the garrison.
This unexpected attack had tended to an.
innate the Chiians, and rouse the patriotism
hitherto dormant.
Mr.. Poince,t, the American Consul Gen.
erai had been preparing for trip to Concep-
ton in this case, had 1t been carried into
effect, he would have fallen an unsuspecting
sacrifice, together with the President Of the
Chill Junta.
"rhc arrival Of the United States frigaic
Essex at Valparisa, on the 9th OF March, had
detained him. 1ne Essex, it is to be hoped,
will place our trade in that quarter on a more
respectable footing than it has hitherto been.
Capt. Porter, it is said, seized Lima priva-
teer and threw her guns overheard, and lett
her men and provisions to carry her 10 Lima,
with letter to the Vice King, demanding
the immediate restoration Of all the ships
that had been taken by the privateers under
his order or that he would proceed to hos
,lities. Both English and Americans are
pleased al this attempt to adjust yillainous
system OF piracy. Seven American vessels
have been seized in Port Conception by the
Lima privatecr, and an American ship from
this place, called the Boriskah, Of Baltimore,
has been carried into Lima and condem emaed
"Gcn. Belgrano has had every success.
Peru is now decidedly for the cause of liber-
~, and Belgraeo is now marching for Oruro
through the desar,. The trade 10 the interi-
or has taken an active turn, and will no doubt
DC increased.
Artigas and Rondeo, who wers sent to
the seige of Montcvidco, have assumed the
chief command, and are, it is said, orssniz-
Ing Juu,a, with the intention to effect a Sc
peration from tina, Of Buenos Ayres ; and es-
,ablish another independent State, but con-
nected with the other Provinces and States
under general head"
Erfracs Of anssser Letter. dated May %.
The Mortars have arrived at CoioDia,and
We hear that good will had been restored be-
tween the troops, &c. on the other side oithe
river; that the seige Of Montcvideo Is now
following with great vigor."
