,cr been clear,.would have been equal to the full
moon-—*'l‘he weather was not so cold as we had
expected to find_it, even at that season, in so high
it latitude as ‘GO degrees south--the mercury
stood from 40 to 45 degrees of Fahrenlieit’s
ffliermometer. After buffettiiig the storms for
fifty-five days, during which we lost 1 man over-
board, and carried away some of our light spars,
we cast anchor in the Bayof Valparaiso, (Chili.)
Valparaiso is a small, ill-contrived, dirty town,
stuck against the side of a red clay hill that scarce
affords herbage for a goat. The houses are gen-
‘ zcrally very ‘small, meanly built, with brick floors
and tileroofs-—Its population is from four to five
"thousand souls.‘ They are very easy in their man-
ners and hospitable to strangers. -After a stay
there of 6 weeks we sailed for Lima (Peru)where
we arrived in twelve days-—-we gave the vice king
of Peru the first information of the defeat of his
army at the famous battle of Maypo, which so
humbled the haughty Castilian, that he not only
“ i-cceived us with a degree of respect which he is
not in habit of paying foreigners, but at the re-
quest of Capt. Biddle, he. gave us an order ad-
dressed to the commodore of his squadron, off
'rV':,ilparaiso, to permit all the American merchant
vessels then‘ in‘ that port to p1'_0(;ee(_l to sea without
interruption. This very importantiorder render-
eclit necessary for the Ontario to return imme-
-diately to Valparaiso, as there werefive ‘valuable
wiessels then preparing to sail for China. Capt.
B. consented to take on board a commissioner
from the vice king, to negotiate with the Chili
,government for an exchange of prisoners, and to
act himself in the capacity of a mediator. On
our return to Valparaiso I ‘had the pleasure to ac-
company those gentlemen to Santiago, (the capi-
tol, about lOO miles up the interior.) On our ar-
‘ rival in the suburbs, we were met by an ollicer of
“distinction at the head of a corps of Dragoons,
which paid’ Capt. B. military honors and escort-
ed us to, quarters that had been prepared for capt.
B. and most splendidly: fitted up by order of the
Supreme Director: during our stay there our
table was every day supplied in the most sump-
tuous manner——lhe richest wines, fruits and deli-
cacies of every description, were crowded upon
' it lllltllc greatest profusion--in sliort every’ re-
spect and attention was paid tips, and we were suf-
‘ fered to be at no expence whatever. In consid-
‘ eration of this, I suppose, the servants who were
also governm_ent property, felt’ themselves at lib-
erty to purloin every thing they cotild lay their
hands on, and they certainly availed themselves of
every opportunity to exercise that right-one of
the soldiers of the guard of honor that escorted
us back to the port, stole my sword, epaulette and_
chapeau de bras, which had been given him to
carry. ' i _
Santiago is a handsome, regular, and well built
city-—ha,s from 30 to 40,000" 'rnhabitants——-it- has
several very rich churches, and some otlier ele-
gant public buildings, particularly a mint, which,
I think, is not surpassed, if eqalled, by any build-
ing on the whole continent of America; it is
I 480 feet inifront, two storieshigh, and every way
large in due proportion, and is built of a very fine
-white free stone. We spent six daysin this city
,‘-—no arrangement of prisoners could be agreed
on- On our return to port we immediately put
and receive flour and sale provisions twice a year
fmm Canada. ’
On the morning ofthe 20th, the sea broke so
heavy on the bar, that we were all very hear be-
ing drowned in attempting to get on board our_
ship. ' I think I never was so near the verge of
eternity before—for my boat, in whichthere was
twenty‘ men, was half full of water when I got
alongside. \Ve however, all got safe on board,
weighed anchor, and, under a press of sail, stood
away to the southward ; five days after we
came to anchor in the bay of Montery (Cali-
forina.) The Spaniards have there a small for-
tress, with a garrison of perhaps fifty men—who
are placed there, they say, entirely for the pro-
tection of two or three religious missions, estab-
lished in the vicinity for the purpose of convert-
ing the wild children of the forest to the Catholic
faith ; but I am inclined to think that their object
-is’ not quite so humane and disinterested as they
would wish one to believe ; for the mild persua-
sion, (which is. I think, the only weapon that
should ever be used in such cases,) fails to effect
their purposes, they do not hesitate to use the
most arbitrary and unfeeling means to accomplish
it--as an evidence of this, I mention the follow-
ing circumstance.~—Rambling in the wood one
day with a gun in search ofpartridges, (which by
the bye are very plenty,)l fell in with two Indians
who were employed cutting wood, with each a
heavy pair ofirons on his legs. I asked them in
Spanish, why they wei-ein irons ; they said they
had attempted to runaway and return to their na-
tion in the interior, and were caught and shackled
as I saw. I advised them to heat off their dis-
graceful fetters with their axe, and sllOW_t‘(l them
liowit might be done—-they looked so significant-
never tlioughtof such a thing before, but I have
‘no dotibt they very soon followed my advice.
As the Spanish force is much too small to cope
with the Indians in the field, they have adopted
the following singular stratagem to keep them
under, which has had, so far, the desired effect,
The priests collect all the young females, and
put them into a strong building erected for that
purpose, where they are taught to spin, weave,
sew, Sac. Ste. They are strictly guarded and her-
er suffercd to leave their prisoi'i", until the holy
father gives. them away in marriage, at which
time he always stipulates for the female children
that may be born. By thus keeping the women
in their power, the men are l£9.l.l'uIlle(l from acts
of violence. * H
As Monteray av; ,_ -irginia, lay in the same par-
allel of latitude-_-it ‘e climate and productions of
course ought not to be very difl'erent—wheat, and
all the fruits of Virginia, are there in the highest
perfection. [ VVe remained but a few days to re-
fresh otirselves, lay in a'stipply of wood, water,
&.c. and on the 23d of October, anchored for the
third time in the harbor of Lima.
If you do not expect a p-.u-iiculai- description of
Lima, I shall be glad of it, for you will not then
be disappointed, whcnyou see how briefly I pass
it over. You may remember that it was founded
by Pizarro, who built liimsell’ a large palace and
was murdered in it by a gang of conspirators.—-
