From no such characters 25 these are v e to expect much good, but to him alone are we to lo k who feels himself interested in the public welfare, & the prosperity of the state. By persuing this course, we may still continue to augment the pristine prosperity, of our still i founding republic.

Extract ot a letter from an officer on board the Lautaro, giving an account of the battle between that ship and the Spanish convoy, dated Valparaiso, Dec. ic. " I shall just give you a small sketch of the battle. We sailed from this port on the ioth of September, with the San Martin, of 6o guns; the Cliacobuco, ot 20; the Anaconda, of 1 6, formerly the Columbus; our ship, the Lautaro, mounting jo guns, with about So Europeans and Americans, and 2 co green Chilians, from the sod; but our o dicers were good men, uuiatly English, who preferred going with us to their own countrymen, Capt. Wilkinson, who commanded the San Martin, which ship had ab out i cd Europeans and 250 Chilians. Our intention was to entrap the Spanish convoy from Cadiz bound to Lima, consisting of the Maria Isabella, and ten transports, with 2300 troops on board. The 5th day afier leaving port, we lost the Chacobuco; on the 26th, lost company with the Anaconda; on the 28th, oil the hland of St. Mary's, boarded a British whaling ship, which informed us that the frigate Maria Isabella had gone into Talcuha withfourof the transports, which determined us to make r 1 1 s-It for the saA port, and on the 29th we entered the port, receiving a heavy Hie from the frigate and forts: from or ports, not one gun was fired till we got within good caunister shot whsn we opened a trcmendious fire of round and grape, on the fiigate, town and battery. The old Lautaro at the time was exposed to the most galling fire from the post bhe held, which she soon silenced. The Maria Labeila, finding no hopes of beating us o.f, cut her cables and run in shore within pistol sho: of the beach. Wc immediately sent all our boats, officers and men, to get heroiTas soon as possible, which was not an easy task, having 1200 troops playing upon us from behind the houses with musketry. They kept up a constant firing for six hours, and we as warmly returned it. After a long and tedious time of 20 hours, we succeeded in getting the frigate off under "a severe fire f rom the enemy. Our loss was about 40 killed and wounded ; that ot the enemy must have been very great. The Maria Isabella is an elegant ship, mounting 60 guns, which ship capt. W ooster now commands. The great patriot lord Cochrane has just arrived, which gentleman was appointed in England commander of the squadron from the agent of tins government. Had not his appointment been prior capt. W. should have had the command. On his arrival, finding what he had done, he was generous enough to decline excepting the command, saying tiiat those who had struck the first blow to the enemy, was mot entitled to that it'a.

tion; that it would be wrong in him to place the laurels gaincd by others on his own head Pleased with his open and generous conduct, and being a man of talent and bravery, we a. greed to his taking the command of the squadron, and expect wc shall sail from this to attack Lima, which place I think we shall carry without much hard fighting. Should it be our good fortune to take Lima this summer, you may expect to see me the next."

Extract to the Editor of the BaU timorc Patriot, dated havanna, may 3, 1 8 f 9. Dear Sir, I have this day seen in a Kingston (Jamaica) paper of the 2 1st ult. a detailed account, brought there by the British brig of war Parthian, of the capture of Porto Bello on the ;th, by sir Oregor MacGrcgor, with about 300 troops and six or seven sail ot vessels. There appears to have been little or no insistence, and a government had already been established satisfactory to the citizens generally, under a general Lopez. The opinion generally prevalent at Puerto Bello was, that Chagres would also fall into the hands of the independents; and that Sir Gregor was in expectation of news from Lord Cochrane on on the other side of the Isthmus with a considerable fleet to encourage a movement to Panama." THE ARKANSAS. The 4th of July next will date the commencement of the political existence of this territory. Its value will soon be developed, and its rich soil covered with cotton planters. Gen. Rector has already prepared several millions of acres cf land in that territory for market. The sales may be brought on as soon aj the secretary of the treasury pleases, and the sooner the bttter as no grounds belonging to the United States have yet been sold in that pare of the country. Heretofore the Arkansas has only communicated with iNicw-Orleans by way of St. Louis, Nashville & Natchez, that is to say, by go-r-almost round the world to get to a point a little betovv the point from which it started. Hereafter the mail will go di. rect from Arkansas to Ouachita, and thence to New Orleans. St. Louis Ekj. FROM BUENOS AYRES. iWw Vcrky May, 20. Messrs. Lang & Turner: I hand you some of the last Buenos Ayres Gazcttesthat had arrived at Monte Video previous to my leaving that place. Letters from Buenos Ayres, as late as the 8th of February, had reached Monte Video, stating that considerable alarm existed at that place, in consequence of the approach of a pretty strong force of Montarenas, under the command of Andreseto, one of Artigas's generals; they had already advanced to within 18 leagues of that city, and, by posting themselves on the prin cipal roads leading from it, had in a great measure cut of! their communication with the interior, and of course with their army on the west side of the continent. It was the prevailing opinion at Monte Video that gen. Artigas would endeavor to make himself master of Bucuqs Ayres. But should

that city make a spirited use of the means it possesses, to repel such an enterprize, it may very well be doubted whether he has the power to effect it. His forces being almost entirely cavalry, seem illy qualified to storm forts, or batter store houses. But though this description of troops may not be adequate to the immediate reduction of the city, it is peculiarly adapted for harrassing the Buenos Ayreans, and under a leader of the activity and enterprize of Artigas, will doubtless do them serious injury. TO THE PUBLIC. In consequence of some unfavorable misrepresentations having been made, respecting my official conduct as treasurer, in having embezzled the public money, isfc I would state that after hiving had a complete & entire view (with the commissioners of the county,) of the books and vouchers respecting the public money, appertaining to my deportment, I would state there was found on settlement, a balance in my favor as treasurer which will be seen by the following certificate from the commissioners of the county. JOSEPH OGLES BY. We the undersigned commissioners of the county of Jefferson, state of Indiana, do certify, that the board did at the two last meetings of the board, settle with Joseph Oglesby, ticasurer, and on said settlement there is a balance due the county of 86 dollars 19 cents; and on further examination we find and believe, he is yet entitled to a further credit on settlement, that will place the county in his debt. Given under our hands and seils this itth day of June, 1819. SAME. MARQUES, (s. l.) ROBT. SI MEN TON, (s. l.) Candidates at the next August election.

Gentlemen, I wish through the mc dium of your paper, to inform Judge Hunti that the statement he has made to the public of my having destroyed the bill for a road from Madison to this place will not do. I was not x member of that legislature but if he will not drop the subject I will lay the whole transaction, as relates to his conduct before the public, and I am persuaded he cannot answer for the unpardonable course he has taken in relation to that subject, to an enlightened and free people ' JOHN VAWTER.
