A passenger in the ship Chesapeake, arriv-

OF ~ days from Valparaiso, has politely fur

Sir Thomas Hardy had confined the block

and ordered the release all the detained En-
glish vessels then in port-There was some

pers) an article from the Constitution proyiso-
ria del Estado de Chill, allowing the liberty
oil the Press. In the course of nine months
afterwards the public were thunderstruck by
the arrest of Gen. Blanco and two of his Off
GERS OF the Guard of Honor. The only cir.
cnmstance which came TO light to deveope
me mystery OF this proceeding, was the pre-
cednS day the Director had ordered the re-
lease OF Col Formas of the artillery. who
had been arrested by Blanco on account 81
some misunderstanding which hadtaken pIsc,
between them. Blanco refnsedto release him
| and was himself arrested for a disobedienc.
OF the orders of the Director and Senate.
Notwithstanding this explanation n number
ielt conscious that something else was the
cause, as certainly Blanco could have been
punished for mere disobedience of orders
without arresting and confirming in different
Sarrsons ms wife's two brothers, who both
happened to he on guard that night. Whether
the independent was intended Inv ,vav OF
feeling the peoples pulse or not, 10 one has
pretended to say-although some hints have
been thrown out to warrant a conclusion OF
that kind.
III as some suspect, there is new party

existing THAT of che Carreras.) 1t is to be
feared hat much evil disscntion and perbap,
blood shed may be the consequences of not
checking it at once. He would truly he mr.
enemy To his country who could for mo.
nlent think of embroiling the ChiIians in a
civil war, as they are mild, dociIe and hos
pltahIe people. This character, however, can
not be attributed to one of the public officers.
For example Don Louis de la Cruz, Governor
&c. &c. oil Valparaiso, was passing the door
oil the American coffee house where two
young Americans were standing in converse
as they did not notice him he Immediately
stopped IN the middle of the street and says
lcho are "ye :" 'oio are ye ? We are so and So
Your hats, you insolent rascaIs--take off yom
hats" to whom was the reply ?"-" take of
yoT hatS"-" Here" says he turning TO a sol.
der who always attended on him TO guard his
person, " tnke these rascals to the prison."
1hcre was no remedy, they had either to
take oil their hats or go to prison-and God
help poor fellow who once gets into the
clutches of this Republican GOyernor of q
FREE CITY. But this is far from the charac-
ter Of the peoples
Mr. Hogan and family arrived few davs
before we sailed, and from his general char,
ter IT Is TO be hoped that he will clap stoppe,
to some ofthe proceedings of Don Louis
particularly IN his treatment of our country
men IN the absence of our frigates. A strong
naval force is by almost etery one considered
absolutely necessary. We have, including
wiaiers, two vessels to one of the English in
the Pacific, and they have at present H.
two irISates, and sloop of war, all of which
they find necessary.
