SlR-The arrival of the naval forces Of
Chill i'll the bay of CaIlao, and the formal
and manifest blockade OF that port, were
operations Of an easy nature but they
would not iIave attained their end in the
mighty cause of America, if not attended

Ject; aud at any rate was securing some
OF lis happy results. With Ibis conf
d"uce took my measures on the night of

PEELED me 10 adopt another resolution, no

dered useless all the efforts to keep the
ships in their line. Having lost sight Of
one another, il was impossible TO know
any thing, even through the assistance of |
