ever. was found out ON the evening pre-
n,"s to the day il was 10 have been put into
ehect. Although sufficient pioof Of his nno-
Hnce was produced before The Supreme Di-
rector, still that tosl of San Martins (:lnd his
tacuon,) caused this young gentleman to be
placed IN common prison, denied the privi-
lege oFseeing any OF his friends, and obliged to
suffer all the indignites that were lavishly
heaped upon bim---nor would they release him
until capt. Downes promised the government
to land him in the U. States, and without the
privilege OF going on shore during our stay in
the Pacific. What have said respecting the
sailing Of the squadron, may be some nforma-
ton, ii not to ourseli, to some of your friends
You are therefore 4, liberty to mention it
as being strictly true. Perhaps it may, in
some degree, be gratifying 10 my friends, to
Know that we expect To be IN the United
States next April. We sail next for Lima,
from thence to Valparaiso, and from thence
We depart for the United States"
LATE AND INTERESTING FROM CHILL.
E9tract Of a letter from gentleman on board
The .iacedonian + igafe, az Coquim6o, da-
ted August %, 1920.
For tins some time past, Gen. Carrcra
has been very actively employed on the o.
Their side of the Andes, at tie head of small
force of about 500 men, with which he has
twice entered Buencs Ayres, aud each time
placed al the head Of its government Den
Manuel Sarratea, native of that place, of
respectable family, but who was obliged to
retire alter the departure OF Gen. G.. 1t is
now reported he is threatening Buenos A, res
with n third attack.
81 am happy TO state, that even the cne-
mics OF General Carreraal allow that lac bchav-
Ell with the greatest prudence and humanity,
not permitting the execution OF a single in
diudual OF the opposite party, and us ng the
most ettectual means to restrain his soldiers.
1t appears his determination to arrange the
government on the other side, previous 10
ms crossing the Andes; and he has so far
succeeded as &c establish . more liberal s,s-
TEN TO- the election of rulers, by which Bue-
los Ayres is reduced TO a level with the
e'her towns, anl not suffered 10 retain that
overbearisj influence III the General Con-
gress, which formerly so much oppressed the
interior provinces.
"The present constitution allows ono mem
Der (and no more,) to be sent from each
town 20 Congress, and that body to elect the
Director, who will reside at the place they
may name but hitherto they have not as
sembled under the new constitution.
Although previous to the fight OF Puer-
rydon, he had ordered Gen San Martin to
resign his command of the army of the An
DIES, and since the revolution there has not
been the least connexion between the two
countries, yet, Gas if to carry on the force as
it vas commenced,) the army still retains all
the insignia OF Buenos A;res.
" At the commencement of the late rcvo-
luton, San MartiM, who was then at Mendo-
"a, fed to Santiago with the army under his
command, after having lost lis best rcgi-
ment at San Juan, by mutiny; since VIII CHI
he las given his entire attention to the equip
menI Of (what H. calls) EL erercif0 i6ertador
de Peru, for the es.ab ishment Of which he
has drained Chill Of what little riches remain
ed, under promise of repaying it from the
first place he may conquer in Peru.
50 This army amounting To 1000 men, left
Valparaiso the BIS, having previously sent
one transport TO this place to take on board a
battalion OF 500 men, and the whole fleet,
lo IN IL mber, sailed hence on the =. The
place of debar6atiOn is not known, but il is
supposed their first attempt Will be made
upon africa.
Son the 9Th April last, an attempt was TO
have been made 20 displace the present CO.
Yeinmcnt, in which affair were engaged many
OF the most respectable ChiliaDs, (or at lca.t
they nave suffered Ior ~ but the day before
1t was to have been put into execution, it was
discovered, when the government immcdi
ately ordered general arrest of not only
those engaged IN this affair, but of all those
supposed to be the least inimical to them.
After one of their mock trials, the prisoners
were sentenced to be banshed to foreign
countries; in consequence of which they
were all embarked On board the brig PuerIy-
dor, (about so in number and left Valpa-
raiso about three weeks since, destination
not known.
"The Chilans have been so long deceived
by the present government, upon the sub
Jeci OF the establishment OF a Congress, that,
although they are promised that this desired
event shall be realized the moment they are
informed of the fall of Lima, yet they do not
appear disposed to await the results of the
expedition; but are determined upon a
change of rulers, in order that they may Sc
cure to themselves the long promised repre-
sentative government; but should San Mar
tin succeed in Peru previous to the overthrow
OF the regning faction, lie viii undoubtedly
establish Director there, similar to that of
this country, by which means he will eiiectu-
ally rule both.
"The day before the expedition left Val
paraso, decree was issued by the Director,
declaring the whole coast of Peru under block
AIDE, from the 18th August, a copy of which
send you"
