Captain Morill, OF the schr. Tartar. arrived
yesterday from the Falkland Islands, via
Lima, informs that the loss of the Patriots
during the scige o. the Castle of Callao was
estimated at about 1000 men, and that Of the
Royaiists at 5000. The latter had eaten all
their horses and mules, and finally had re-

.arg'ments.-The gentlemen of the
opposition have been so sadly puzzled
to find weapons TO assail the adminislra-
tlon, that they have occasionally 'invoIv-
ed themselves in the most ludlcrous iu-
consistencies. OF this fact a letter from
Washington gives some pointed instances
In the debate upon the Panama appro-
pfiation bill, Mr.. M'DuiIie, who is under
stood to be the echo of his patron Mr..
Calhoun, while speaking in favor OF strik-
ing out the enaciing clause, attacked
Mr.. Webster, rudely, roughly and coar.e-
ly. Mr., W. replied in his happiest style,
and with complete success. He inform
ed the gentleman from North Carolina,
that noisy defamation was different
thing from argument, and that violent
gesticulation was not logic. He iDtimat.
ed that his course had been to avoid
coarse epi;hets,and, in particular, never
TO apply Them TO individuals, who were
not present to answer. In regard 10 the
doctrines he had advanced, and which
he had so vehemenlIy denounced, he
would furnish the gentleman with an au-
;horiiy, going far beyond any thing he
(Mr. w. had said, but not further than
he would have gone, had occasion re-
quired. II was speech of a gentleman,
formerly on that floor, and who now
presided in The other house he then
quoted from speech Of Mr.. Calhoun,
on former occasion, apparently quite
conclusive, as regards the present doc
trines Of Mr.. M'Duffie. Mr. Forsyth,
also, came out with the opposition, and
was most elegantly .foored by Mr..
Storrs, who, in reply, said that he held
10 his hand an answer to the observa-
tons of the gentleman from Georgia, so
strikingly applicable, that they appear
ed to have been prophetic, and couched
in language so much superior 10 any he
could command, that he would read
them TO the House. He then very ma
liciously read some extracts from a
speech Of Mr.. Forsyth, some time since,
denouncing, as dangerous and unconsti.
tutIonal in the extreme, the very dec
trines for which he had just been con-
tending. A few more rencontres we
should think would teach these gentle
men, that after all honesty is the best

Latest from BrGzil-We have been
politely favored with letteYs from Per-
namhuco TO April 10th, which furnish us,
with many interesting remarks on The
Stale OF the country, and The war with.
La Plata. A late paper there acknowI-
edges losses in the south, and the
wretched state of the navy, which had,
then done nothing. 1t appears also,
that there has been rising of the la
gunistas, or Lecor's party, in Montevi-,
dec, but Gen. Magessi, with great ex-
ertion, had restored order, and ordered
out 1000 men, TO form a line outside Of

Gs We hope the Democrats will turn out strong at the
meeting to be held at SCOTS Taueri, neat Saturday. The
approaching election of great importance to their
pary-snd they must act in harmony,
and have their plans well arranged and matured AS
measure is important that the meeting next
Saturday should be numerousy attended. Therefore, let
every Democrat who possibly attend be present. We

we're before and they expect much from us-but not
more than they have right to look for and we the pow

Our Democratic brethren in Kent and Sussex
are in fine spirits, and confident that if New
Castle County does her duty, the Democrats may
elect their candidates for Governor and Representa-

gentlemen is well known-and in addition to this,
The opportunity which is now presented Tor the de-
