fnsnes Ayres, without date, announcing
that all express had arrived over land,
bringing a letter, dated at Santiago de

Of arms. We have subjoined literal
translation of the hand bill. The infor-
NATION was believed at Baenos Ayrcs,
and occasioned great rejoicings. Some
of the latest letters received by this ar
