Lautaro, Of SO, O'Higgins, Of SO, cor
velte, of %, and three large brlgs' was
on cruize. The Andromache "a British
frigate) left a, Lima two frigates and two
briggs Of war, and a Spanish merchant
ship, with million Of dollars on Doard.
1t was expected every moment to near %
the result of Lord Cochrane's attack on
the port of CaIlao (where, We have al
ready heard, he was unsuccessful III ms
first atteinpt.) III he should be defeated,
il was the opinion of the writers of these
letters, that il would be most unfortunate
thing for Chill, as it would hardly be pos
|sible for that government to refit and pro-
vision the squadron for another cruize.
If they made no prize money, and were
not paid their wages, the crews would GER
tainly leave the. service--for, when they
had last sailed, the men had not been paid
for former cruize, and left the port much
dissatisfied. Indeed the crew of the cor
yette mutinied, and confined their officers,
with view to take the ship to Lima,
where they said they should be paid for
their services. However, after having
possession of the ship for three days, she
was re.taken by the officers: three Of the
men were killed in the contest, five had
been since shot without trial, aud % re-
NAMED to be tried. If the feet should
return, after all, without doing any thing,
there was, judging from this jucident, little
hope Of their getting TO sea again. Lord
Cochrane, it was believed, would do all
that he could do with the means he had,
and, if the wind favored him, it was sup
posed he might possibly take OF destroy
the shipping at Callao. All his captains
were English, and he had 10 the squadron
about $50 English and Americans, the rest
being natives of Chill. Gen. San Martin
and Lord Cochrane appeared to be bosom
friends; but, some appear to think, have
selfish, and not patriotic objects--desire
to conquer Peru, not for the sake Of free
dom, but with view Of personal ambi-
ton and aggrandizement. To accomplish
his views, be they wicked or be they char
liable, San Martin drains Chill TO the last
dollar. He is removing all the ChiHap
aud American officers from the army, and
putting in Buenos Ayreans and English.
men. His enemies say he is cruel ty.
rant, and that the people Of that country
generally fear, if they do not hate him.
O'IIiggins the Director, is said TO be an
amiable and good man, but under the in
Huence, if not subject TO the control, of
San Martin.

From the Baltimore Federal Gazette.


The writer of the following commune
cation has left his name at the Federal
Gazette Office to be made known to any
respectable enquirer who may feel inter-
ested iu the subject and wish to obtain
farther aud more particular information.
If Siiuer Mine.-The following in
formation respecting Silver mine some
where in the neighborhood of Baltimore,
was verbally communicated by a person
who, it is believed, knew the facts. From
his representation TO the writer, it is sup
posed to lie to the eastward of this city,
not farther distant than 20 miles, but
probably within 10 or IL miles. 1t is
stated that ore had been found five or
six years ago, at the side of hill, in an
opening from which a small spring OF
water issued, which has since been nearly
closed up by an old stump or piece of
wood, TO prevent any person discovering
the ore. That 10 August, 1917, at the
time of the great rain and wind, an old
tree blew down on the hill above the
spring, at the roots of which there were
found some pieces of nearly pure virgin
silver, and there were evident symptoms
that the hill contained great quantity Of
ore. The rocks or stones on the hill are
flinty, mixed with some crystalizations.
The hill is partially covered with whor-
tleberFy bushes and other small shrub
berry, and few old very crooked ches-
nut OF chesnut oaks. The old tree which
blew down is still lying on the hill. The
gentleman upon whose estate the ore
was found, is very old man whose hair
is white, Of considerable wealth; he is
unacquainted with the fact that any ore
has been found on his land--he has Coz
had not long since) five children; one Of
his sons has been married and has lost bis
wife. The bill is supposed to lie near the
road, in an open, poor, rocky part Of the
country, near run which would answer
for small mill seat during part of the
year. Some Of the ore has been sent tc
the mint at Philadelphia, and it is said
would yield seventy-fve per cent. II
such mine exists, the discovery Of it
at this time would be benefit to the na
ton as well as to the individual owner
who may probably ascertain its situation
from the above description" l..

MANSFIELD, [Ohio,l July I.

Execution. On the first of July, at IL
O'Clock, Negosheik and Negoneba, two
Indians of the Ottawa tribe, were exc
cuted at Norwalk, Huron county, Ohio,
10 pursuance TO sentence Of death pro-
nounced upon them 10 May last by the
court Of common pleas, for the murder Of
Wood and Bishop on Carrying river, at
the west end Of lake Erie. They were
taken by their own tribe and given up to
the whites by their chief, who preferred
executing them in his own way, TO that OF
hanging, or Weighing as he termed it; at
the same time pronouncing them worthy
of death. At IL o'clock the prisoners
were unironed for the purpose of being
conveyed to the place of Divine service /;
on their being placed in a Wagon for that
purpose, Negosheik gave long war
whoop; from thence they were conveyed

From dur Cages, 10th july, 1910.

Since the arrival here of Gen. More
gor, in the Ell M'Gregcr, from Port-au.
Prince, he made several propositions TO
his officers, any Of which it was impossi-
BILE for him to carry into effect. His first
proposal was, that they should proceed to
ST. Andrews and await the arrivals of
arms and ammunition from England, which
was considered impracticable, not having
sufficient provisions nor means of pro-
curing supply. The next was that they
would cruize off the Havana, with the
brig, where they would, without the sha-
dow of doabt, capture property to an
immense amount, which would enable
them to procure every thing requisite for
another expedition; this was also objected
to on the ground (the best in the world)
that he had but five or six men on board,
without ammunition, aud the Ell M'Gregor
unfit to proceed on cruize without con-
siderable repairs in rigging, sails, &c. none
Of which objections he had the power to
obviate.
Yesterday council Of his officers was
held; the only proposition made aud dis
cussed was whether they should 60 to the
Isle La Vyche, opposite this place, and
there wait supplies and men from Europe,
this plan was adopted by a small majority !;
those in the minority refused any longer
to be considered in any way belonging to
the concern and to-day many who yes
terday agreed TO the proposal, have deter
mined to quit the service. His situation
appears to be desperate; without arms,
ammunition or provisions. 1t is impossi-
BILE to describe the distress Of the men be-
longing TO this expedition; destitute Of
every thing; 2 OF 3 dying daily not less
than SO have fallen sacrifices to disease
aud want since their arrival. Many
of the officers and men who have
been able TO procure passage, have en-
baIked for the United States. In fact.
all is lost to M'Gregor.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
pYRoLfGNEous ACID.


Extract of a letter from NJ. C. G. at Paris.
A discovery of the greatest importance
engages at this moment the attention Of
the physicians, the chemists aud the gov
ernment. A person Of the name Of
Mango has discovered that the pyrolisne-
GUS acid, obtained by the disiillation Of
wood, has the property OF preventing the
decomposition and putrefaction Of animal
substances. 1t is sufficient to plunge
meat for few moments into this acid,
even slightly empyrhumatic to preserve
this meat as long as you may desire.
Outlets, kidneys, liver, rabbits, which
we're prepared as far back as the month
of July last, are now as fresh as If they
had been just procured from the market.
have seen carcases washed three weeks
ago with pyroligenous acid, 10 which
there is yet 20 sign OF decomposition.
Putrefaction not only stops, but it even
retrogades. Jakes, exhaling infection,
cease to do so, as soon as you pour into
them the purifying acid. You may judge
Cow many important applications may be
made of this process. Navigation, med
icine, unwhoIesome manufactures, wiz
derive incalculab.e advantage from it..
This explains why meat, merely dried in
stove, does not keep, while that which
is smoked becomes nnalerabie. We
have here an explanation of the theory of
hams, Of the beef Of Hamburg, of smoked
tongues, sausages, red herring, of wood
smoked to preserve it from worms, &c.

The comparative rank which the Abo-

native intellectual talent, has been often
the subject of investigation, and by the
advocates Of their equality with other
nations in this respect, the speeches Of
Logan. and others of their chiefs and

their claim. ALI these speeches, how
