be they charitable Dan Maftln drains
Chill to the last dollar. He is removing
all the Gillian and American officers
from the army, and putting in Buenos
Ayreans and Englishmen. His enemies
say he is a cruel tyrant, and that the peo-
pie of that country generally fear, if they

The Macedonian had been waiting for
some time for judge Provost, who had,
however, arrived. 1t was the intention
of captain Downes to call at Lima after
his departure from Valparaiso. 1t was
not known what construction would be
given to lord Cochrane's proclamation
of blockade, of which we have had no.
tee, in regard to vessels OF war. Ii it
was to be extended to vessels of war, as
twas not the intention Of captain Downes
unnecessarily to enter into any contro-
yersy with those people, he intended to
delay his entry until the Andromache
should have tried the force and validity
OF the blockade; the more especially
as no particular business, besides that of
general observation, required the Mace
donian to visit Lima. This detcrmina-
ton of captain DoWnes, TO avoid rather
than court collision, shows a prudence
worthy of the character this gallant Off
Ger bears in the service.
