landed when the fell disease which bad
been lurking in bis system, assailed him
with violence that baffled all medical
skill. and on Saturday morning last be
closed lite, many years OF which had
been zeslously devoted to his eountry's
service; leaving behind him the reputation
of an intelligent and valuable officer, and
a worthy and respected citizen.
We learn that Captain Grdyson, has a
wife and three children, residing in Balti

deeply affecting. May they receive the
abundant consultations of Him who is able
to heal the wounds he, in his wisdom, in

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.


New.YoRK. June 3O-The ship Ben
gal, arrived at this port ON Saturday even;
ing from Buenos Ayres. BY this arrival
the editors of the Gazette have been fav-
ored with extracts of letters from the toll
lowing places From Lima to March
from Santiago de Chill to April 8; from
Valparaiso to April s, and Bueuos Ayres
20 May 6. We subjoin a summary OF their
contents.
LIMA.
Jose Tagle wasaelscte ted by the Congress,
President pro tenn. on the eth of Februa.
~, but in consequence Of the dissatistae-
ton of Santa Cruz and few others he
was removed the following day and RlVa'
guerra chosen in bis place. Although San
ia Cruz had disclaimed any disrespect to
the legislative body, vet be caused bis
troops TO be marched into the city to en-.
force his views. Bolivar's assistance and
that Of Chile bad been solicited, without
which it was supposed they would make
no effectual resistance,
Dispatches from col. Miller at Entre-
medios, represented him in dangerous
situation, as the movements OF the Royal
ists LETT him but little hopes OF escaping.
SANTIAGO.
The Deputies from Conception, Co.
quimbo, and Santiago, had met IN the cl>
;y aud appointed Sr. D. Ramon de treire,
Director. The Peruvian Deputy Larrea
bad arrived at Santiago from Csllao, tor
the purpose OF procuring assistance, and
it was said, 1000 men were about em.
barking for Entremedios. A town and
fortress on the frontiers OF Conception,
called Tacapili had been taken by the
Royalists and the governor murdered.
Government had decided on accepting
the loan from England, and one million
had been set apart for fitting out the exps'
dilion for the assistance of Peru, their de-
putty having become responsible for its re-
payment, as well as the discussing OF all
other expenses that might be incurred
VALPARAISO. .
II was the general opinion at Valparai-
so that political matters were upon the
point OF being drawn to close, in conse-
queuce OF the appointment Of Gen. Freyre,
who seemed anxious 10 assist Peru, as its
emancipation under the present system
might be endangered, it being probable
that Baldez and Cantarac, commanders
OF the Royalists,) would attempt to de.
clare Peru independent of Spain, and
form government under their own auspi.
ces
The markets for American produce
were bad. The tobacco monopoly con-
tinued, and it was difficult to reduce the
stock at the price Of D7o per quintal, as
long as our mint importation continued.
Flour dull at oil duties unpaid. 1t was
reported that large quantity OF wheat
had arrived at Lima from Calcutta, which
it was supposed would make the least loss
by throwing it INTO the sea.
BUENOS AYRES.
Markets at Buenos Ayres bad and diff
cult to make sales at any price, and the
produce of the country scarce and high

THE TENTH WAVE

Extract OF letter from a gentleman in
Philadelphia TO his friend in New
York, dated the 9TH instant:
81 cannot omit noticing the pleasure |
experienced on the passage to This place,
from a conversation between two learned
men men, respecting the tenth wape.-
The applicability Of the tenth wave or
billow, to all human affairs, was learned,
ly discussed. Some of the ideas were
that every human being experienced the
effects OF the tenth wave in a greater or
less degree as the height and force of
the briDy wave was In proportion to the
depth Of water, force ofthe wind, the dis
lance it came, &c. Man, in bis inter-
course with man, was compared to the
watehiul mariner, whose skill and man
agemeDt of his fFail bark, carried him
safe over the waves OF the sea. Human
reason was the rudder TO which prudence
directs her attention, always watching
the quicksands and shoals in which char
acter is often wrecked. Bad habits, by
force, were compared to the waves which
increased as time advances until the tenth
was experienced. Having survived this,
the mind reflects on the past, looks to
The future, and is often rescued from
shipWreek."

pay for no longer times when another
refuses to pay, though he is perhaps a
thousand miles beyond our personal
