W. L. From the Afercanfiie AdvettiaerA GEN SAN MAR IN We have been favored with the following sketch of general Joseph San Martin, commander of tin- I'attiot troops oi Chili : lie was horn in the district and county calicd the Missones formerly subject to the government of 'iuenos Ay res, and is now about 45 years of age, of good person and commanding countcnar.ee ; his approach easy, oassuming and affable. 11c was educated at .Madrid in the first military school of the kingdom ; afterwards joined the army, and remaii i I in service thro'out the whole of the wnr of the Peninsula ; always. distinguished for his gallantry, but particularly so at the battle of Allabera, at which he had the rank ol colonel. The course pursued by Ferdinand upon his return to Spain w as so hostile to those who bad distinguished themselves in his seme?, so iepugnant to those principles lor w hich he hail contended, that he resigned in disgust, and retired to his nativ e Land, beating with him honors only, for Ins services. He immediately entered under the banners of his country, and as soon as us emancipation was eflfecti .1 suggested the bold idea cf crossing the

Cordilleras exhausted his individual credit to obi .in funds St by his unceasing efforts, raised, embodied and disciplined an army of three thousand men with whom he crossed the stupendous Andes. After clambering mountains and descending awim precipices over an extent cf ground exceeding 14') leagues, he arrived in the plain oi'Chacabuco, Dear t. Jatro, before the eneniv had an intiinati0 on of his approach- lie was there met by an army of more than double the number, with a powerful aatiitery, and it was there with his partan band be decided the fate of Chili. 1 he passage acioss the Andes is at all times dangerous, there arc passes of many thousand feet in height, so narrow, that muies h ticn, cannot pass each other. The rout taken was by an unfrequented path, longer and of difficult access than that usually travelled and the fatigues so great, t. at he lost 1300 mules, two thirds of the number with which he commenced his march. The passage of the Alps, socele brated in ancient and modern days, ofr is nothing in comparison. The Afric, be the Corstcan were respectively supported by powerful armies, and the resources of a great nation San Martin created his own army, and reded Upon the resources of his genius alone to surmount obstacles that would have appalled an Alexander. The former knew their ciimatc, and the extent of their difficulties and their dangers, and were prepared to meet and overcome them. Tl e hater explored regions elevated byond the change of season and passed through defiles in which he was at any moment liable to distinction, either from the elements, or from the more unrelenting hand of the enemy.

he battle of Chacabuco tcok place

on the 12th February, 1817. fThe rout taken compelled them to pass over five mountains, the extreme heights of which are, oi the mean elevation of twelve thousand feet By the o.ie usually travelled, you passed only 0 te the Others .ire avoided by winding roun 1 so is to render it less dangerous. Although in the midst oi summer there was a fad n eight i iches ol snow had it continued two curs more ti e whole army must inevitable have perished. iMCTC K OF GLAtft).
