We have been iavoured by Mr.. Top

Valparaiso dated Jan 12, brought over
land by Lisut. Mayo. who has recently
arrived at the seat of government with
dispatches from Commodore S ewart,
commander Of the United States line-o!-
battle ship Franklin.

was lately in Lima, and saw the pres
ent Congress formed San Martin adj
ministerea the oath to all the members
of that body. The country is in a very
unsettled State. The Government, both
here and at Lima, is in the greatest con-
fusion. The expedition against Upper
Peru, sailed after left, and has reached
the coastof Upper Peru. Previous to
their sailing, the Congress made de-
nand Of a large sum of money from the
American and British merchants in
consequence Of which, Capt. Prescott,
of II. B. NJ frigate Aurora, biockaded
the port, until they relinquished their
demand, which took effect. San Martin
has left them to their fate, and is now
with his friend Cochrane. He appear
ed here Lat Valparaiso in disguise, and
went on shore in the evening in citi-
zen's dress. As soon as The news of his
arrival had reached Lord Cochrane, he

came, hauled alongside his ship aud Sc

from her considerable amount in gold,
and then released the brig Publick o.
pinion is, that San Martin is about TO
make his exit---he is now quite sick
Lord Cochrane also leaves them-and
Wooster remains. Cochrane and Woos-
ter are not on good terms-the former
sends TO England all the money he gets.
Wooster serves from principle. Con-
ception and Coquimbo have declared
themselves free Of Chill. The Gov
eminent cannot and will stand. You
think at home they have established a
good government, and are happy peo-
pie; quite the reverse is the case.

As the publick attention is directed so
much at present, towards Spain, we
have prepared brief chronological ac-
count of the principal events in tina.
country, during the last three years.
Imperfect as il is, it may be of some use,
for her present situation can hardly be
understood, without some knowledge Of
her recent history. Though very in
complete, we think it may be depended
upon as accurate, so far as it goes.

From the New-York Statesman
FERDINAND.

II will be seen by our selections Of
foreign news, that this feeble and indie
cisiye monarch, who has been pronounc-
ed by a modern orator to be lit only 10
embroider petticoats for the Virgin, has
been removed az litter TO a place Of
safety, where he can still follow his IA
vourite pursuits, instead Of directing the
energies Of his nation. Senior Sico has
moved in the Cortes, 10 declare the phu,-
icalunpoteney Of has Majesty! The motion.
it appears, was received with shouts Of
applause from the gallery. If the late
speech Of Ferdinand, which is one of the
ablest and most finished productions of
the kind which we have ever seen, could
be supposed TO originate with him, il
would be sufficient TO prove that his
moral energies had not been impaired.
But that document was doubtless the pro.
duction of some able pen and Ferdi-
nand, who is made TO say any thing and
every thing as the occasion suits, did
nothing more than merely TO give it the
sanction Of his name.
Breakers dhead.-Intelligence from va
rious quarters indicate the approach Of
an important crisis iD ournational affairs,
and particularly in our foreign relations.
On the one hand. the occurrence which
has lately taken place at Porto Rico, in
Commodore Porter's squadron, may in
volye the United States in difficulty with
Spain. The death Of Lieut.. Cooke can
not and will not pass unaycnged. On
the other hand, the violation of our com
mercialrights by Russia, upon the North
west coast, will probably lead to con-
troversy with that power. The Ukase
ofthe Gar, which was supposed to be
too absurd in its pretensions TO be carried
into execution, has ceased TO be dead
letter, and system of depredations has
been commenced, which cannot be
tamely submitted to by our government.
But armed with justice and possessing
power, the United States have nothing
TO fear; and our cabinet will doubtless
be prepared to meet the crisis with be-
coming spirit of irmness and.moderation.

in the latter part of February, the peo-
pie of that place refused any longer TO
submit 10 the Emperour, and demanded
a change of government, similar to that
of the United States, at the head of
which they wished to place one white
man, one mulatto, and one negro, so as
TO give each class of the population
equal rights. On the 28th of February,
a skirmish took place between them and
the troops of the government, in which
several on both sides were slain, and the
formerwere defeated. The leader OF

PORTER's SQUADRON.

The schooner Cleaner, which arriy-
ed yesterday from New-Orleans, was
boarded of Key West on the 10th inst.
by boat from the sloop of war Pea
cock. Commodore Porter, then at that
place, with several of the squadron, and
brought letters from the officers.
We have seen a. letter written on
board the Decoy, Capt. Kearney, dated
of HAVANA, the lst instant, giving a
sketch of her cruise The Decoy bad
secured the coasts Of ST. Domingo and
Cuba. OF Cape Antonio, she boarded
the British frigate Tanner, and was in
formed of the particulars Of the capture
of the La Gaia, piratical schooner, by
the Grecian cutter. The La Gaia was
90 tons, with crew of 60 men-the G.
pursued her until they both ran aground
within guu-shot. The pirate returned
her fire with great spirit for some time,
under the bloody flag, "a red flag with
deaths head, when she suddenly
blew up, supposed from accident, and
destroyed a number Of their gang. The
survivors swan ashore, where they
were met by the men of the boats of
the Hyperion, who had landed in time
to meet them on the beach as they came
out of the water, where they were cut
down, and with the exception of few,
put to death. The commander of the
frigate was present in his gig, and had
to revoke an order he had given to shew
no quarters, the carnage being so great
as to excite COMMUNICATION even for pi-
rates. Mercantile .4dVertiser.
