By the arrival OF The ship Hope, Capt.
a. S. DUNCAN, in A days from Rio Janet
no we have files Of Rio papers to the date
Of the sailing of the Hope, and also Bne.
nos Avres papers 10 The 9th at October,
Cor which we are indebted 10 the Rind al
teution OF Captain DUNCAN.
These papers contain a variety OF intel
iigence, particularly with regard to a.
c6ieyem ents of the Patriot Navy under
Admiral Guise, blccksding the Fort OF
CaIlao. which are brilliant and important,
and quite new to us, though some OF them
occurred so far back as early IN July, Il
;s evident from these accounts that tnere
have been many exploits and successes on
.he side of the Patriots, OF which we have
n,. vet had any account. This appears
from the following letter, which alludes
10 4 brilliant action by the patriot Cap
,ain Addison and of this we never before
heard. This letter is OF great Interest,"

Ertract of letter, dated on board the
Frigate Protector, IN the Bay Of Caado,

NV Dear Friend-in my last informs
M von Of the brilliant action ct Captain
Addison. who, with fosr boats and fifty
volunteers. burnt and suck SIX vessels, IN
clud;ne the Spanish frigates VengenZa and
Santa Rosa, and drove fourteen under t0e
batteries of Cailso--st beng very remark
able that he performed this service With
outlosing single man have now the
pleasure TO communicate to you, that on
the 9th inst. Admiral Guise despatched
CAPTAIN Robertson, accompanied by Capt.
Fleiman and Lieut.. Sulmans, OF his YES.
seI. with 1875 men, in nine boats, 10 take
or destroy as many OF the enemy's vessels
as were in Callao.
Al his entrance he was opposed by more
than one thousand soldiers and marines 10
the vessels, and fifteen hundred ariillerists
who manned the batteries OF the castles,
and kept I'D a tremendous ere on our men.
Notwithstanding this they effected the OBJ
taking the following vessels:
The President OF 20 guns--burnt
Juanna Gordon, flag ship-taken
Perls, formerly of Chiii-tskeR
A Brigantine, name unknown-iaken
A large vessel, pane unknown-Durnt
The Protector, the Congress and the
Macedonian were employed in diverting
the att ntion Of the batteries, but almost
all the FIRE Of the latter was directed to-
wards the brave men charged with the
destruction of the vessels.
We shall not again abandon the BLOCK
ade OF this bay until The surrender OF the
Castles. or until the ship Asia may appear,
upon which (psrdon the vsnlty,) we are
determined to erect the triumphant stand
ard Of our country. When Captain no,
hsrtson returned, he found be had three
mon killed and twelve wounded, one OF
.nhoo has since died. We had also one
~S;cer killed. named Thomas Williams,
: lieutenant of Nj srines, and the clerk OF
tbe Captain OF the Congress, both mortal
yy wounded.
The greatest harmony exists between
.he Liberator and the Vice Admiral Guise
s;nce the seizure of Colonel Blanco and
Revef. and BIS ExcelleDcy is so well sa-
t;s6ed of the patriotism of Admiral Guise
