FROM THK BALTIMORE rVTRIOT, MAY 2 further important Particulars gxtrsct of letters from a gentleman in Buenos Ay res to his friend in thiq citv. BUENOS AYRES Feb. 28 In my lat letter. I informed you of the progress of gen. S:t n Maitin, who had advanced into C having passed the Cordillera " ithoiit opposition, a' the head of an army of 5000 men. 1 have now to state, that we have received the account of an action having been fought between the royalists and the troops ol this province, which ended in the total defeat and destruction of the former. The express arrived in town, accompanied by an officer, who brought the colors of the king's troops taken. There were 10Ck) killed, and 500 taken prisoners, with a general. The Buenos Ayreans have entered the capita!, Santiago M MARCH 1st, 117. Chili is gone : it is in the hands of the patriots who have carried every thing before them. The last accounts state them M be in Coquitpbo, and the royalists flying in everv direction Sa i Martin writes with all confidence and they apprehend n further resistance, the people all being disposed for revolution. The cry now is for a war with the Portuguese, and it is firmly elieved bv many, that it will be dec 1 ared i m mediate I y . n MARCH 5th, IS 17. ft We have lurther accounts Gen Marcon, the royal governor of Chili, with his suite, have been ta' en at Valparaiso, on the point of embarking, with two millions of dollars !

TV tit'e4? of public officers, from your plain worship up to his excellency, a e not the only distin 'tioes whi 'h ought to he lah el out of fashion. There is one, we un lerstand. growing into vogue at Washington, which ought to be scouted hv every friend of the Jlepttohc. We we e surprised the other day to hear of a sort of tariff sometimes used at the Metropolis of the union, and growing more into ihc which is at war with all our Republican ideas Toe plain men, who take up this paper, will no doubt be just a much astonished a we were to learn t at t rv a s,,rt of scale, to estimate t ie deifie of resnect to which a man is entitle I () ie Would think, thai a Representative of t lie peoule is entitled t o as much as aim ist any pers o t no such thing He is a'm st at t c very foot ol the scale, Por instance ; 1 st comes the simple citizen Next toe Represe itative oft te Pr ie in t ie lower house of Co igi ess) Foreign Mnisters 4t v Seoai rs a d 5th. ilcaaa of ikpiu unent.

The etiquette is. for those beow to wait upon all those above lem. For example, a foreign minister. Mr. Baoot or M. Hyde le Neuvihe, does not wait upon a representative, to pay his respects to him ; but he w aits upon the Senators and Foreign Ministers. Thus a representative of the people is, according to this new tangled cai tel two ra'!cs below a Senat or and 3 below the Ifeadsofthe Executive Depart menf These distinctions are of course not universally adopted There are many men too prond to acknowledge them. Nor are they as pertinaciously adhered to by any American officer as bv the foreign ministers, who recognise something in them of the ranks and privileges of the European Courts Hot it is a fact, that this contemptable etiquette is begun, and is. we are afraid, increasing, and ouht to be extinguish ;d Let anv man ask himself what he w ould think of his Representative, who would stoop so low as to acknowledge his inferiority ; or what he would think of a Senator or Executive Secretary, who would be so insolent as to exact this difference. Would he not deem either of them as unworthy of his good opinon ? We know that hospitality to strangers has been in all countries considered as a public duty. Foreign ministers are certainly entitled to their full snare of it but if a foreign minister does make it a point of etiquette, to wait upon a Senator, and only to return the visit of a Representative, what high minded Representative, w ould how to the distinction, even though he should be fortunate enough to receive an elegantly ornamented card from fc The Han and Lady to the llo irabie Mr n requesting the pleasure of his company this evening at drawing room?
