I'm official Communication to the govern
ment Of Buenos Tyres iron, tie dehu-
fy residing at Chill.
MOST EXCELLENT SIR,
Having acquainted your excellency,
on the I'd instant, from Valparaiso, with
the arrival at that port Of the vice-admi-
raj D. Manuel Blanco, in the man ofwar
Gen. San Martin, accompanied by the
frigate Lautaro, and corvette Chacabuco,
for the purpose of taking in supplies, |
have now the satisfaction to inform your
excellency, that few days after the ar
rival of the brig of war Pueyrredon, adj
miral lord Cochranc entered the same
port in the frigate O'Higgins, in compa-
ny with the Curiazo, from the river La
Plate. The main force of the navy of
Chill is snow reunited at Valparaiso, and
ready to set sail for the Pacific.
By the information have obtained, l
can assure your excellency, that the enc
my was struck with terror after the &C
ton of the 28th February at Callao, and
that, with the single exception of the at
tack of the Gath March, of which in
formed you in due time, the Royalists
have not dared to venture out of their
line, Notwithstanding their superiority in
the number of vessels over the blocka-
ding squadron. Admiral Cochrane land
ed at several places on the coast of Lima,
and met with little or no opposition. AT
Paita he took all the supplies and NUM-
tons of war at that department; and
publicly before the inhabitants, he pun
ished some excuses committed by four
foreign sailors.
He went from Paita to Callas, where
he entered the 9TH of May, when Blan-
cos division had left the blockade; and
after examining the enemy's position, he
proceeded to the port of Supe, and
there, Oh the 9th, the crews of the o 'Hig-
gins and brig Galvarino, having landed,
routed several attachments of the ene-
my, and took in. supplies of provisions,
but they paid cash wherever they took
them.
The Galvarino, by the Admiral's Or
der, proceeded on the 10th in chase of
four launches, laden with muskets for
Truxillo and Guayaquil, which were 60
ing to Guarney for safety; and after
having captured one and sunk two OF
them, she joined the squadron on the
l4th, on which day the Admiral sailed
for the said port of Guarney, where he
remained the 10th and goth, and having
returned on the 25th to examine the YES
sells at Calais, he set sail forthwith for
Valparaiso, taking on board some Pat
riots, one hundred negroes, who had
sought shelter under his flag, and up
wards of one hundred thousand dollars.
The ship Victoria, captured brig laden
with sugar, and a schooner from the
United States with munitions of war.
May God preserve your Excellency

Mosr EXCELLENT SIR,
If great actions have claim TO the
admiration and applause of impartial
observers, they enforce duty upon our
gratitude, when they tend to promote the
liberty of America. In this point of
view consider the generous offer of
lord Cochrane, vice admiral of the navy
of Chill, to which the enclosed letter
refers. The highest sentiments for the
cause of mankind have distinguished
until now all the steps of this new son
of America: his efforts for the emanci-
patton of Peru are incessant, and wher-
ever lord Cochrane has carried the flag
of Chill along the coast of the Pacific,
he has endeavored to conciliate the opin-
ions by the liberal principles upon which
the free governments of this quarter of
the globe are established. Being myself
aware of your excellency's satisfaction
in every thing that may have influence
on the liberty of the new world, have
thought the honorable lords offer worthy
of your knowledge, it having been very
satisfactory to the government of Chill,
although, as understood, they did not
accept of it.
God preserve your Excellency.
Santiago de Chill, June 2sth, 1919.
