but il found guilty of some, and not others,
they were TO specify those OF which they
found him guilty. The u. NJ. communicated
this TO the iury.-NIr Stevenson asked the
Judge to set aside the verdict on principle I;
not that any improper influence had been ac-
tuslly produced upon the Jury by this COM
munication, but that an opportunity was af-
fOrded for doing so.-Yesterday the Chief
Justice granted a new trial, rs we understand,
upon the general ground that no person
ought to hold communication with the jury
on the nature of their duties, in their retire
ment; and that ifthey wished for informa-
ton, they must come into court and ask it.

PERL.


By the arrival from Coquinbo, it apDears
that the royal news by Jamaica, and Darien, aud
Payta, is snch as we described il, exactly like
al the news that is brought through that manu-
tactoyy
Coquiinbo is the name of province and
city OF Chill, which has Tucuman on the east
and northeast Atacanas of Peru on the north
and Quilota of Chill on the south, the Pacific
forming It's west line, being about 240 miles
from north to south, and in breadth yariabIy
about 200. 1t is in so III south latitude, about
42O miles 5. from Conception, and 100 from
Valparaiso, the capital Of Chill. The pOpula-
ton is about 1900, of all colors those of
European complexion, unmixed, about 1000
persons. The aborigines, a very active, labor-
Gus and well disposed people The city,
which IS also called La Serena, lies about half
a mile from the sea, on a lofty platform, which
affords beautiful prosper, and is said TO be
handsome place, with streets laid out at right
angles, and the dwellings surrounded by gar-
dens and groves Of myrtle, well watered by
artificial aqueducts. 1t is celebrated for its
excellent horses. There is a rich copper mine
near the city, the product of which has been
exported in considerable quantities to Europe
and TO the United States.
We find by these adyices, that an arnlistice
had taken place, which continued on the 9Th of
July at Lima-so that the total defeat and
fight of Gen. st. Martin, tciHom date, was a
miserable and futile invention.
We hope with this news, however. rrnc-
ttiou of the report of the British Commodore

Lct us for moment suppose this to be true,
and what would The character of such conduct
he Has nation processing TO be- neutral
tile right to set aside the laws of nations. as
vel as of the two begcrentj. Take il on the
side of Spain--the laws of the Indies forbid

Of the ports dependant on Spain in America
Fake 1t as to the laws established by the Cor
ies, the same principles prcyail.-Then, so far
rs concerns Spain, the exclusion of ships of
all nations from its possessions, renders it pre-
ppstcrous that a neutral nation should pretend
30 set aside its laws. No despotisp could bc
more nsuiicrable than this. II woula he Iidi-
