to the ;lstt of July. The main force of Lord
Cochrane, including the Curiaso from Buenos

they remained at the last dates,'ready to ‘proceed
on a cruise. On his way from Lima, Lord Coch-
rane landed at several places and~met'with’ litile

At Supe, one ofthe ports frequently tisited by
the squadron, the inhabitants were so inflamed,
that they held a public meeting, and drew a me-
morial, requestingithe admiral to furnisli them
with arms to declare their independcnce._ Some
of these poor people were, however, taken by the
detachments of the ‘vice-king, and few of them
took refuge with the squadron. ~- _ -

All the people, in general, are for the independ-
ence ; but are not decided for want of assistance.
If any is to be given, let it be such as to be suffi-

inces, to direct their resolutions and measures, and
consolidate the opinions towards the desired em].

lancers, the ‘other a rifle corps’; the otiicers were
to purchase their commissions andfind their own
equipments; however, on landing in Sou_th*A-

ceive the same pay, as in the ‘Britisli army. . ‘ Two
-ships were chartered for the lancer regiment, one,
the VVil|iam, commanded by ~Major L’Estrange,
the other, the Hannah, commanded -by Col. Ayl-‘
