THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
Has become an establishment highly
honorable and advantageous TO the state,
perior talents of the different professors
have been most assidulously applied to
accomplish the original design OF the 'nstI-
tuition, and, with the perfection OF that, to
render il profitable TO themselves. They
have succeeded in the 6rsl, but much Sc.
we're labor is yet necessary 10 bring about
the latter. They had every difficulty to
encounter that attends new establish
ment, and, as they resolved that it should
be permanent one, If possible, their sp-
paratus and arpurtenances are as coR'
, plete as they could be rendered by the
expenditure CT time and money, freely
given to promote the progress OF science
and the arts

The following is an extract OF letter
from a young gentleman of Newly DIRK,
dated on board The Franklin "a, at Val

eve sailed from Calao in October, and
alter short and agreeable passage, ar
! rived at Quiica, but found it almost totally
| abandoned by the inhabitants. A detach-
m-nt OF the Patriot army which had en-
barked from Callao since our departure
| FROM that place. appeared of the coast
the Vice Roy, apprehensive that they
might land at that place, ordered all the
inhabitants from the coast. The reddc-
ton of the city and mine Of Araquipa, is
said to be he primary and ostensI5le OBJ
iect of the expedition. The Peruvian
| Congress were in session when we sailed
from Callao and had accepted the resIg-
nation of The Protector San Martin), who,
TO do away the impression OF bis ln1uen-
cling the proceedings Of Congress, and also
TO render futile the accusation OF ambi-
ton. resigned his protectorship into the
hands OF The Legislative Assembly, and
| embarked on board The brig Belgrano tor
this place. Upon his arrival here, he met
with very ungrac'ous receplion, espe,
cialIy from Lord Cochrane, who is sad
even to have passed bin in the street with
out noticing him. Our country, am
fraid. will ere long find out their error in
acknowledging the independence OF this
country. The intendancies of Conception
and Coquimbo have joined in league to
overthrow the existing constitution; to es-
tablish one free elective and representa-
tive government to throw oft the sbac-
kles OF commerce ; to expel an odIous
prime minister, and to discharge the su-
perhuous civil aud military officers OF 60
yernment, who msnopolse considerable
portion of the revenue. Gen. Freyre is at
