partial remonstrance. The Mascedonisn

Mr.. Provost will leave here in three weeks
for Buenos Ayres.
Mr.. John Higginson goes to the United
States in the vessel which will convey this,
TO raise loan there for the government OF
Chile to foment certain favorable senii'
ments respecting the acknowledgment OF
its independence, preparatory to public or
private embassy from this country and al
so to canvass for his friend -. An agent
or ambassador, charge DIES affaires, or somt
other public functionary, will soon leave
here for Washington. His object will be to

sources of information and the motives tor
giving it. before correct judgment can be
formed of the actual state Of things here.
Neither the government of Buenos Ayres
nor of Chile has paid, nor made provision for
paving, the arrears upon the two vessels
built by their agent, Dir. Auguerre, OF New
York.
The newspaper and government paper
arc intended to aid their objects in the Uni

prevailed toward US. England with her COM
merce, manufactures, her subjects, and ma

respects all acknowledge they were active,

with being false to Chile, nor even had
