Doctor Hamilton has The satisfaction OF
knowing that his treatment OF this disease,
and application Of the necessary apparatus,
which is si.npli6ed at the same time, that
j; is materially improved, have received
the unqualified appreciation OF many OF Inc
most eininent OF his medical brethren in
Baltimore. Spriog corsels, upon new

White-House Fishery
Of the Belvoir estate, on the river Potomac;
aid persons from the country, as well as
water customers, are invited to that shore,
where they may expect the best treatment,
and every facility, in getting such supplies
as they need, which that we'll known 6sh:
cry, and the utmost attention of the subscri
Der, can afford. Having been long expe-
rienced in that business on the Delaware
river, and having taken the fishery for Sc
veral seasons, be has caused complete
outfit 10 be made, not only for taking &ad,
as heretofore, but Herrings, of which it is
well known that almost any number may be
caught at that shore, when the giuts are in
he river. A very complete and commodi-
Gus fsh-house, On the spot, may be made
use of by persons disposed to put up fish
extensively, and who bring barrels and salt
for the purpose. A number Of barrels, and
quantity Of salt, may probably also be bad
at the fsf-house. As the
Sandy-Poin Herring Fishery,
at the mouth Of Pohick Creek, on the same
estate, is carried on this season BY Mr. John
Henderson,, there will be the greater GER
tainty that customers will not be disap-
pointed in behring's, the two fisheries being
near tegether: but country customers are
cautioned not to come too early for her
rings as, of late years, they have several
times done, and BY returning home have
missed OF getting their supply, which af-
forwards was plentiful.

The U. S. sloop of war Ontario, has
been to Lima. where she took on board,
on freight for Rio Janeiro, about million
of dollafs-she stopped at Valparaiso on
the eth Dec but slipt her hawser and put
to sea again three days after, apprehend-
ing that search was to be attempted for
the specie as Spanish properp-it is said
that Lord Cochran advised it.
Lord Cochran's squadron put to sea sud.
denly on the i4th Jan. from Valparaiso, in
pursuit Of two Spanish frigates that they
had information had sailed from Lima for
Panama they were also to make dash
at the harbor otLima. The Chilian and
Buenos Ayrean army under San Martin, a.
bout $500 strong, was to embark for the
seige of Lima as soon as the feet returned
to transport them. Captain Wooster who
commanded the o Higgins frigate, resign
ed his commission just previous to the sail
ing of the feet. The reason assigned for
it is this Lord Cochrane sent on board
the frigate an order tor her to be ready for
sea in four hours, to which captain Woos'
ter sent an answer that it was impossible ;
Cochran Immediately repeated his order,
adding that the word impossible Was not in
his vocabulary. Upon which captain w.
threw up his commission, and the feet
sailed without him.
The ship Beaver Of New-York, which
was restored at Lima in Dec. last, was to
come down to Valparaiso for freight.
The Curiaso still remains here--she is
under CHILEAN colors, commanded by capt
Delano in that service. The Horatio con-
tinues to wear the American flag, not hav-
ing been transferred in consequence OF the
inability of the government to pay the a.
mount that is due for her.
Considerable apprehension is entertain
ed here of the coming Of the Cadiz Anna.
da.-Should it come out, Monte Viedo will
no doubt be given up by the Portuguese,
and then this river can be effectually block.
AIDED. There cannot be doubt Of the ul.
time failure of this expedition. Although
the people Of this country are divided a.
mong themselves, and the interior in state
of commotion, yet they would join against
any foreign enemy, and so the Spaniards
are universally regarded.

II is reported that messenger was dis
patched the day before yesterday to gene
raj San Martin, with orders for him to
march his army to this place-it is said
that he is to be nameo Direcfor-and it
conforms 10 what Pueyredon recommends
in his speech to the Congress, which en-
close you. Fear Of the Cadiz expedition
is no doubt the principal cause Of these
movements. The expedition to Lima will
of course be suspended, at least if San
Martin comes this way.
