New YORK, August "a Santa
go, Chill, correspondent of July 10Th,
states that seventy guns have been
purchased of Massachusetts, for six
hundred thousand dollars without
carriages. This ordnance incltf11ssl
four four hundred and fifty Founders
Blakely guns The remainder con-
sists of serviceable artillery of vari-
Gus calibres, but not very heavYf The
English guns are those purchased by
Massachusetts during the late iYar for
the protection of Boston Harbor from
rebel pirates, &c. As the carriages
are to be built in the United Sates,
some time will elapse before the ord
nance can be shipped.
A Chilli agent writes froms New
York that he has been trying4E6 buy
the Dunderberg. He says that Mr.
w. I'll. Webb wants $1,000 900 for the
iron clad there, and that Webb offers
to deliver her complete in Valparaiso
at his own risk for s., 100000
Nobody here expects Chill 80 buy
the Dunderberg, though her agents
are doing their best to get the,vessel.
Mr.. Benz. Vicuna McKenna is to
be appointed to fill the place of Chi
lion envoy to the United States, in
place of Senior S. Z. Asia Barnaga,
present Minister from ChiliSto that
Republic.
The captain of bark from the

ER May he witnessed from the top of a
Tghill on one of the Islands, a battle be
tween two Gillian aud three Spanish
ysyesseis, but could not learn the result
o Of the fight, owing to a sudden storm
having arisen. The Valparaiso papers
,dattaoh no Importance to the news, but
consider it, on the contrary, unrelia-
Bile. The Governors official organ
Q does not give any credit to the cap
tain's story. hewever.lnIW Mr..
McKenna, was, III Lima he expected
that three vessels 4 which he had
bought were near hone,l and as nc
5-news has reached Nalparaiso of said
vessels, there MS reason to fear that
the captain story may have some
foundation. There Is the greater
reason for fear on this head, as the
vessels would necessarily be but
poorly armed and manned, and might
easily have been canght at a disad.
