FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Providence, Juiy t7.—Our correspondence
, from Santiago, Chill, is'.<> the 20th March, and
j contai.-s information of very considerable impor
! lance and interest, not referred to by even later
‘ advices from that quarter, particulaily ie«pv.ciing
I the Panama Congress, concerning which we have
received so little correct information. Our corres
pondent writes to this effect:
“It has been determined to roll a new Congress
in Chili, which is expected to assemble about the
middle of June. This measure has becom*" neem
sary, as the term ot the present Director, Prey ere,
expires in August next, and there exists no con
stitutional inode of re-clecting him or of choosing
a succe-sor. Besides, the country is as yet almost
destitute of political institutions, and the govern
ment in want of .< thorough re-organization, “ and
it is moreover indispensable to ills fit's and de
cidethe difficult and delicate point, respecting the
Congre^a of Ptmama—whether or not Chili will
concur with Colombia, in sending deputies.” * it
is understood that the decision to be made on this
question by Chili will depend pretty much upon
the character of the new Congress, as it is there
estimated. If a majority of the Deputies from
other States should consist of what is callej tIre
ptlucon, or aris ocratic party, Chili will probably
acquiesce in this favorite project ot Bolivar—but
should ilie libera/es, pi edomtuate, Chili will de
cline becoming a party to the Congress, under the
views entertained there at the date ot our informs- j
Hon. Tite probability that the Liberal party will
predominate, is inferred from the fact that they i
have the assurance that Buenos Ayres will back j
them, which nothing hut the necessity ot conciliat- j
tng the Liberator, with a view to obtain his assis- ^
tancc in the war with Brazil, can prevent.
Another motive to influence the opposition of the !
Chilians is the belief entertained by them that the !
voice ot Colombia, that is of Bolivar, will be par- J
amount to all others in tire Congress. It is said j
lie is sure of four vees out of the seven, viz. Co
lombia, GauHtfta.ilPeru and Bolivia (Upper Pe
ru. ) The United Provinces of the Rio De la
Plata ate strongly opposed to the Congre-s, and it
is understood nothing but necessity will compel
them to enter into Bolivar’s views in this parti
cular.
Tite grounds upon which it is founded ar" not
well understood,'but it is t«lain there exists in
C ili and Buenos Ayres a stiorg suspicion of the
sanctity of the Liberator's views in regard to this
Congress /s well as to some ot the first principles
of free government. Tins suspicion is not so ge
neral in Club as in Buenos Ayres where it is said!
to be almost universal. There is without doubt'
some obscutity and a few obliquities in the political j
conduct ot this distinguished man which his most
ardent admirers would wish to see cleared up and
explained. Many would wish that his motives of
action were more clearly grounded in principle and
conviction, than in a necessity of conforming to
me puouc opinion anu sj ru llie age, iiml in a>
dome 10 preserve his certainly well earned fame } j
These are, they admit, sircng ties, but insist, they i
would he much more binding if accompanied with
other virtues the existence of which they doubt.;
Many cannot forget his recommendation of an he- 1
reditary Senate in Colombia, and rumours of more
recent expres-ions of on analagotts nature, are not
wanting to keep alive this recollection, and give
assurance of uncha nged views and pteposse*mons.
It is also extremely difficult if not impossible,
for a man to receive such homage, and witness
such unhesitating, unlimited obedience, as have
been rendered to Bolivar in Peru and Bolivia, with
out experiencing some ieeling of self-complacency,
some ambitious throb; or without perceiving the
relation to which such homage and such obedience !
most nearly approximates, and in some unguarded !
moment giving expression to opinions and feelings
originating in a temporary conviction of the mi- j
possibility of correcting the disposition, habits and \
other cireuins'nnce* which give rise to this state I
of things. This reflection may explain the origin
and cause of these expressions ^if true) which
have so much shaken the public confidence, in tins
quarter, in the soundness of his political views and
principle*.
The other objections t!rg«*d ngam«t arret’ing to J
the proposition of Colombia to send ministers to!
Panama, are tiie principles upon which it is sup- ;
posed to be founded, as analogy'.!:; to those that in- |
fluence the European policy—the ineflicacy ol thr
measure to produce the desired ends, and the want
of security for compliance wr.h the stipulations
that may he nr.de bv the different Stales, other than
mutual interest, which is equally binding without
stipulations. It is also urged tin: Congress ought
to be permanent, in order to provide for cases as
they may arise; and here, undoubtedly, is the main
objection, the desir of establishing a iedt-ial Con
gress on a system like our own, and which it is
feared the call-of a temporary Congress at Panama
m»y prevent. At the same time they look upon
a pcimaneut body, if to be under 'he influences
which they already so much dread, and its decis
ions imperative without the previous approbation
of the several State Legislatures, as fraught with
the most dangerous consequences. It is besides
understood that England is to be inviteJto become
a jin / to the Congress, which j'. is feared will
lead to the direct introduction of European influ
ence into the councils of ihe new world.
ijuch are the opinions entertained of the measure
by those who oppose it, and who were not aware
of the part taken tn it by the United State-, whose
presence by her representatives would undoubted
ly be considered as a guarantee that European
views would not be allo.ved to interfere with the
true American policy, and as a sufficient check
upon the apprehended aspiring views of Bolivar.
Buenos Ayres is anxiously looking to the United
States to learn the course she piay pursue in this
question, and it is evident her policy will be ma
terially influenced by the measures pursued by the
United State-.
Ail Wiese considerations tend to show in - stron
j ger light than before the policy of the course adopt
] ed by the United States in reference to the (Jon
i gre-o at Panama. Tlie presence of our minister* :
must hare a decided influence in reconciling the
jealousies existing between the Slates, in checking ;
| the too a»piring news of any member of this ns- {
sembly, and especially in guarding against the In-,
JVotc.—We would beg O'tr brother editors,
(especially those of the Baltimore (»a/.ctte, who
1' <1ely style ! us “ the credulous ea-t-rn editor,
! the dupe of a hoax played off upon ns !>y inform
ants who must have shamed veracity oul of eoun
j lenance,” with other like gentlemanly epith-ts, for
venturing to assert that tip to December last Chili
had not appointed ministers to Panama,) to note
this, which w e apprehend is sufficient to show that
' our credulity is after all hardly a match for their
want of common courtesy
}Krom the best Information c blamed from gen
tlemen who have visited Houlh America, it would
seem that the moial obliquities of IJohvar are at
leart as great as Ids political aberrations, and hard
ly entitle him to the sacred name of the Wa-htng
! ton of South America. We refer to the fart that
I he openly lives with the wife of an English Officer,
! who attends hin. every where in tmie altirn as his
ijaid, and whose h,i*b*: l winks bis own d*gra.
I d*i ion
iroduction of European views 'othe damage or ex
clusion of our own interests.
As it respects the contemplated Congress to be
held in Chili, as above slated, but little good is
i expected from their deliberations. The slow but
’ certais progress of civilization, intelligence and the
j spirit of the age, is preparing the materials for 'he
adoption and support of free institutions lint time
is still wanting to mature.
“ Gen. Bolivar arrived at Lima more than a
month ago. His entree was* most triumphal one,
and afforded a striking proof of the spirit ol adula
i Iiom anil idolatry which actuates the (pn many res
| peels) Oriental populace of J.itna, towards this
: popular and fortunate commander. It is supposed
that Gen. Lamar, a very worthy and correct man,
| will succeed Bolivar in the presidency * of Peru.
The Congress of thnt country is now in session.
The new Republic uf Bolivia (late Upper Peru,) is
'.aid to l;e the favorite child of the Liberator, and
| to receive a more than ordinary portion of hi?
! paternal regard and solicitude. He is to return
therefrom Lima, so as tube present at iho open
ing of their Congress in May. ’
“ Our papers from the United State1, are to the
beginning of December—little of novelty or inter
est has occurred in this quarter >in»e my b*s:, ex
cept the surrender of Callao, which you will al
ready have learnt, so that 1 shall say nothing more I
on that subject. The barbarian, Rndil, is now at j
Valparaiso, on board the British Frigate Briton,
bound for Europe. He dined with Mr. Nugent,
the English Consul General, on Sunday la«t! In
deed, notwithstanding his cold blooded barbarities,
he has received marked attentions from Biilish [
Commanders, and public agents, much to their an- ;
noyanee, however, of most of their countrymen.
My quarrel with Rodil is not for having refused to
give up the fortress, agieeahly to the stipulation of
the convention of Ayacuchn, although this was a
great* dereliction from military subordination: nor 1
fur having i eld out to the Iasi extremity: these!
admit of apology, perhaps evrri tneiit praise, in j
the language of warfare; and in the conception ol
military men. But it is for having wantonly kept
shut tip within the unwholesome anil deadly pre
cincts of Callao, thousands ol unoffending and
useless beings, old men, women and children, to
perish by disease and starvation: for refusing to
permit the departure of these liplplcss victims, and
tints condemning them to all the horrors of famine:
witnessing day by day their gradually wasting
forms, ami numbers—and aiJ the complicated and ;
appalling miseries of hunger and pestilence, and I
yet preserving with more than demoniacal delight 1
in cruelty and suffering, in keeping within his grasp
the-e poor anti famished wretches' For his innu
merable and cold-blooded cruel tier, in taking hit- j
man life, w iihout any adequate Or justifiable cause. ‘ ■
These aic the grounds ol my complaint against
Hodil, and which warrant his being held up to the !
execration of the civilized world; this it is which j
calls forth our astonishment and our reprobation at ;
witre-ing the marks of attention, respect and »p- I
probation bestowe-l upon the monster bv men in |
eievateu ana responsible situations. The c.pitula
lion itself was disgraceful; lor it allowed the wretch
almost to dic'ate his own terms; to take away hts
ill-gotten booty, his papers, and even the colours
of hi* renegade and trail.trots regiment-! besides
permitting both him and his associated cut-throats
to escape the just retribution which their crimes
deserved—and this when, horn ihe character of the!
nrtaii, it must have been known the morreiit he of- ]
fered to capitulate, that it was because he could!
hold out no longer; and after the fanfurrtmatle
ot declaring him an outlaw! Several' thousand
persons perished during the siege in the fortress
and town of Callao. A very dear friend of mine
lost his whole family;of another, which consisted
of twenty-seven persons at the commencement, !
only Mice were found alive at the surrender! In
line, it is out of rny power to describe, in ade- 1
ijuate terms, the honors of this most destructive!
and wanton waste of human life. The terms ob- I
lained by the Chai n commander at C'hiioe were
much more koiio.nhie and advantageous, notwilji-I
standing that the means of defence Mill in the pow. j
■*r of <-i rintanilia would have justified the gramiii" |
h.im the most favorable conditions.” ° |
! ' A few days before the surrender, l e caused
persons to he -hot; when lie must have known i
that result to be inevitable.] [.'out.

relates to a «':bjecf of no minor concern, though ii
does not at this day excite the interest in the pub

observed the practical opeiatiori of our Alilitia
tern, and even ii“ who has nut taken particular note ;
ol i*, roust know n how the want of organization'
and nf discipline must detract from ti.e strengih
and efficiency which it ought to have, and which,
in the theory of our Government, it is supposed to
hive. The Secretary of War appears to have
taken measures w.-cly, under the resolution of Con
gress, to obtain information prefatory to a full n,,d
thorough examination of the defects and Jcsiderala
of our Militia system. When ibis information is
^collected, it appears, a hoard i- tube organised, to
b*-composed ot officer*! of the Army and of (he

sult-, and report of plans of discipline, .fir. by
which the detects of the present system may
