Chii-The brig George Gardner, Knight, ar
rived at Baltimore, in II days from Huasco. BY
this arrival the following memoranda, relative to
the political condition of the CHILEAN Republic. ARE
receiyed:-s.Chili is IN a very unsettled state,
altho' Valparaiso, at the time the George Gard
Her sailed, was quiet. When Gen. Freyre sail
sd in the expedition 20 COquimbo. he left no force
at Valparaiso; and the next day the EstancO par
" took quiet possession. The q. Gardner was
detained five days at Valparaiso, in consequence
of the Governor having, on the 18th February,
laid partial embargo ON all the shipping, on &C
count of an order from st. Jago to the collector
of the port, prohibiting him from clearing any
vessel unless the cOnsignee would give bond to
the amount Of two thousand dollars that the vessel
should not touch at Coquimbo. The embargo
was laid to give them an opportunity to mt out a
small BRIG called the Florida, TO go in pursuit Of
Gen. Freyre, and the day after she sailed, on the
18th. the embargo was raised. Gen. Freyre, two
DAYS after leaving Valparaiso, landed with about
1900 men at Tongoze Bay, three leagues south
of Coouimbo. and commenced his march towards
the town, of which he possessed himself the next
day. after a slight skirmish. Finding, however,
That he could not get possession OF the interior
for want of cavalry, and that his supplies from
that quarter were cut of, and as no horses could
be procured, he suddenly evacuated the place
and sailed with his troops On the 10th. 1t was
generally supposed that his intention was to re-
turn to Valparaiso aud make a sudden march on
St. Jago. in the hope OF surprising it. This OPT
mon was verified on the day after the George
Gardner arrived at Coquimbo, the 2lst February,
one of his transports with 100 men having been
brought in by the brig Florida. Every thing was
at a stand at Coqaimbo, it being impossible to
obtain a pound Of "copper" as the muleterOs had
Criyen all their animals over the mountains for
fear of impressments from one party or the other.
The consequence has been a complete stoppagc
of the mining operations in that province. Near
" all the wealthy natives have left the place. ow-
ING to the heavy contributions that have been le-
wed upon them-this being the only matter in
which both parties seem to agree."

Late from Campeachy-Ttn brig Lincoln,
:. Bukup,h has arrived at NewYork from Campeachy,
after a passage of twenty-eisht days.
Every thing is at present as quiet as military
government can make it. The Assembly at Be-
cal, of nominal representatives of the people, on
9th April, declared Yucatan independent so longas
the other states should not follow her example of
depositing civil power in the hands of the militia
nv. which appears to be what is understood by
republican Central. Tn superior Military Chief
was made Brigadier General by the Assembly,
and a council of ! persons was named to assist
him in governing the Central Republic
no news had been received from Mexico since
the formal separation of Yucatan; but the resoiu-
ton OF the Supreme Government was hourly ex-
pected in consequence of separating FROM Mexi-
CO.
At Campeachv the ID of May, there was 4
great deal of reioicings with one part of the peo-
nle which is in favor, and the other thinking there
IS more trouble coming as they are about strength
eninp the Qualifications for resisting the Span
iards but more likely for defence from another
quarter. 4 blockade, at least, is expected by
the people.
Tobasco is in a worse state than ever. There
was a Revolution in the capital on the 18th April,
bv seducing the troops with promises. &c. The
Commandant General, Acting Governor and 9TH
ers in authority, were imprisoned, as were all
the foreigners, who are chiefly Americans.

the thief was committed for trial.
The arrest Of so great a body of Migrants from
the same neighborhood, brought about the Police
Office and the avenue leading to the Bridewell.
several hundred persons, among whom another
arrest might have been made with propriety' as
the principal body of them were from the same
baunts of ~iuiquity. We hope however, they
will only have a short respite from'the fate of
their companions in idleuess and crime. Alder
