OF
CHLOE AND LATE FROM
BUENOS AYRES

To the polite attention OF hr. THOMAS
G.. RgYBuRN, who arrived at this port
last evening in the Corporal Trim, from
Buenos Ayres, whence he called on the
10th of FEBRUARY, we are indebted for
re gular file of the argentine Messenger
Ia the 10Th and othar advices to the 5th
of February. The mostimportant arti-
Gle these papers afford is that giving
the official account of the surrender OF
the extensive and fertile province demo-
minated Chloe, which is situated on the
coast of Chill, long 7s. As w. lat. As ,.
The principal Island is lao miles long
and sixty wide. and in the Archipelago
which separates the large island from
Chill there are forty seven small islands.
nearly the whole of which are inhabited.
Political considerations at home have
hitherto prevented the government of
Chill turning its attention towards the
subjugatioE OF the Islands, and the me-
ressary aid furnished to the army of the
Liberator, in his expedition to Peru, BY
the corporation of the Chilian feet de-
layed the conquest of the country until
the present time.
fhe last foothold of Royalty in the in-
mense extensive countries of south A
merica, has at length yielded to the ie-
publican arms, and the complete inde-
pendence of the entire southern hemis-
phere, established by the gallaniry of its
sons jmust prove to Spain the utter hope
lesness of any future attempt to fix her
standard on the soil of Freedom
The despatch of Don Ramaa Frisre to
the President Of the council of the Chi
liam government, dated at San Carlos de
Chloe, the 10th Of January, gives very
minute and elaborate detail of oil the
movements OF the army in its operations
against the Royalists.-The extreme
length Of the document prevents our
giving a translation OF it entire, and as
condensed view may,perhaps be equal
ly satisfactory we shall here introduce
it, Bali. Gag.
On the sth January seeing that the
weather would not permit them to en-
ter the port OF San Carlos, the squadron
cast anchor in the English Roads, and
detached small party OF
marines and soldiers under the COM
mand ofCaptainFrIole to akeposse ssion
If the battery Of LA Corona, which was
Instantly affected. On the 10th at four
O'Clock in the afternoon part of the
army began to debark on the shore of
Yuste and small detachment under
Colonel Santiago Aldunate took the
road to Balcacura for the purpose of
capturing the fort of the same name
which defended the anchorage Of the
port of San Carlos, and the feet was
directed to cast anchor at Balcacura in
order that the remainder of the army
might debark at Lochagua. The en-
barkation was sucC essfully effected by
Admiral nlanco, under the fire of all
the en- mics batteries and six gun boats
On the 18th the soldiers joined the
squadron, and the best troops were Sc
lected to make the general descent next

captured three of them, on the same day |
1t six o'clock in the afternoon the chat
lie of Bellavista commenced which re-
irltsd in the total overthrow of the roy
II General Quintilla and the dispersion
IF all the forces under his command.
To prevent the further effusion of
Hood, the following certainly very IA
1orable articles of capitulation for the
'oyal party, were agreed to, and which
reflect great credit upon the humanity
IF General Freire, who had so COM
oletely humbled his adversary.
