from Valparaiso and although the Mcr-
Camille Advertiser Of this morning, says
the news brought by this arrival is not so

Of the United States Navy, who arrived ut
Washington few days since, left Falpa-

that country, al least none that has yet been

SOUTH AMERICA.
FALPARAI3o, Jan. l4th, lG23.-Thc ex-
ample of den. Frlere, the Governor lntcrl-
dant of the province of Conception, in re-
sisting the unjust and oppressive measures
the ministers of Chill, has been followed
BY the Governor and inhahitants of CO.
1ainhO, and several other towns, and par
ticlarly Aconcag,m
Under these circumstances, the DIrcc-
Tor of State determined, at first, on sup
porting his ministry, and p"rsisiing in their
apecedant political M aSures. All males
capable of bearing arms were consequently
ordered out but such was the popularity
oil Gen. Friere, and the justice Of his cause
that both the troops of the line, the mill
tn and people at large refused 10 act a.
gainsthim. This firm and Formidable stand
was not confined to the towns already de
sisnatrd. The inhabitants OF the capital
itself, Tautiago de Chill, joined the general
wish, and with almost an unanimous voice
demanded reform, equal representation.

vilegrs, IA general congress to he elected
Ivy their unbiased vote, a new cousli-
tuition, and IA dismissal Of the corrupt
ministers from Office, who had prac-
Used deception, aud who had both wan
tonly exercised arbitrary power and la
yishly and grossly sqnandrrrd the public
revenues and treasure on private objects, Ia

interest.
II was yesterday stated that the Direc-
tor, having seen the impolicy Of attempt

which he toiiud absolutely impossible, ex-
ctpt through sacrifice Of himself, and
his entire loss of the confidence of tie peo-
pie, and public Office, seemed to be dlspos

Cancellation held out in Fricrc's proclama
ton, which is at once liberal, magnan-
nous and Just, and indicative of a sincere
wish for an alnicable adjustment ofdiilcTcn-
ces, and a complete Cancellation Of all the
parties. The basis Of the proposed settle
ment seems To be, that IA general congress
shall Immediately assemble, the mem
