At the date of our letter, as Sis reader already knows from other sources, lord Cochrane, commanding the Chilian navy, consisting of the San Martin, of GO guns, Lautaro,of 50, O'lEggHiS, of 50, a cor¬ vette, of 2$, and three large brigs, was ont on a cruise. The Andromache (a British frigate,) left at Lima 42 frigate* feud 2 brigs of wnr, and a Spanish xner- thant ship, with a million cf dollar: o-\ board. It was expected every moment to hear of the result of Lord Cochrane';* attack on (he port of Callac, (whens we have already heard, lie was untueeessTol III his first attempt.) tfheStifculd he de¬ feated, it was the opinion of the writers of these letters, that it would be a most unfortunate thing for Chili, as it would hardly be possible for that government to relit and prOfHon the squadron for ano¬ ther crnisp. Jf thfv Qxadf no prize mo- Uev, and were "Sot paid their Cages', the crews would certainly leave the service : for, when thev had last sailed, the men had not been paid for a former cruise, and left the port much dissatisfied. In¬ deed, the crew of the corvette mutinied, and confined their officers, with a view to take the ship to Lima, where they •Said they should be paid for their service?. However, after having possession of the ship for three days, she was retaken by the officers ; three men were killed in the contest, five have since beer, shot without trial, and twenty three remained to be tried. Jf the tleet should return, after all, without doing any thing, there •was, judging from this incident, little hope cf their getting to sea again. Lord Cochrane,it was believed, uould do all <hat he could do with the means he had. and, if the wind favored him, it was sup¬ posed-he might possibly take or destroy ihe shipping in C-illae —AM Ids captains Were English, and !:e had in the squad- yon about 250 Eugiish and Americans, t\ie rest being nativ, s of Chili. General San Mai tin and Lord Cochrane appeared to be bosom friends : but, some appear to think, have selfish, aim not patriotic ^Ljects—desire to conquerPerUjOot for the fake cffrecdo.ii, but with a view cf per- #onal ambition and aggrandizement.

Cession of (he Florida*.—Several of the leading papers of the United States appear to be apprehensive from the delay that, has already taken place at the Court of Madrid, in relation to the late treaty for the cession of the Florida* to the (Tulfed States, that the Spanish KiflgwiU refuse to ratify it. We have rather in¬ clined to this opinion throughout. The delays which have: taken place in our tie- godatiouii with that government for near twenty year;; past, abundantly shew that the Spanish Ministry have never been over-ui'xic.us for haste. And a> it re¬ gards this question, Spain must now rind herself in rather an uwkward dilemma. threat Britain \%M hardly suffer us to come into the peaceable pe&ses^foii of Florida, without an effort on her part to obtain Ci.ba. \Va Spoke our senti¬ ments full} upon this subject la t week.

They halted about a ' mile from u*, a^d the people alighting, as- cended a fn.ail iceberg, as if to reconnoitre, After remaining apparently in confultatibn for newly half an hour, four of them de-. fcended, and came towards the fiig.ftaff, \vh:ch, however, they did not venture t6 approach. In the mean time, a white fhg was hoilied at the main in each ship, and John Sacheufe defpatched, bearing a fmall white flag) with fome prefents, that he might endeavour,-if pofTible, to bring them to a parley. 'Ibis was a feivice 00 which he had mod chferfully volunteered, re¬ queuing leave to go unattended and un¬ armed—a reque(\ to which no ohjedion could be made, as the place chofrn for the meeting was within half a mile of the Ifa- bella. It wa» caually advantageous to the picicea up . fhnuted and pulled their nofe<. Th.-f^ actions were imitated by Sacheufe, who in return cafled out, * Heigh, yaw !' pulling his nofc with the fame gclture. They now pointed to the Ihirt, demanding what it was and when told it w;if an article of clothing, sliced of what fkin it was made. Sacheule replied, it wa* made of the hair of an ani.nal they ha J never feen ; on which they picked it up wiih cxprilli^n^ of furprife. 'ihey now began to afic ma¬ ny questions ; fir by this time they found the language fpnken by themfelves and Sacheufe hid fuificient refea.blance to ena- ble tlum to hold fome communication. •l 'ihey fir!! pointed to the (hips, eager¬ ly afking * What great creatures thole were ?' * Do they come from the Sun or the Mcbn ?' 4 Di fhey ^ive us light by night or by day ?' Sacheufe told them that he was a man., tint he had a father 3ud mother like th* :rdel'-es; and, pointing to the {both, faid that became from a dis¬ tant country iu that direction- To this they anfwered, * That cap not be, there is nothing but ice then;.' .They again afked, 1 What creatures thefc were?' pointing to the (hips : to which Sacheufe replied, that % ihey were huufes made of wood,' This they fecmed flill to difcrcdit j anfweting, 1 No, they arc alive ; we have feen them move their v/uig,.' Sacheufe now inquir¬ ed of the n what they themfelves were : to which they replied, tlu-y were men, and lived in that dne&ton, pointing to tlie North ; that there wa? much wale: ihtrt; and th^tt ihey were come here tc fiih for , lea unicorns. It wa^ then agiecd that Sacheufe fhould pafs the chafrn to them, and he accordingly returned to the frhip lo rrValte, l::s report, and to aflc for a plank. . €t During the whole cf thi> conveifation, I had been employed with a good teles¬ cope m obferving their motions, and beheld the firll man approach with every mark of fear and diti; ult, looking frequently behind to the other two, and beckoning to come on, as if for fopport. They occafunally retreated, then advanced again, witji cau¬ tious Heps, in the attitude of lillening. generally Seeping one hand down by their hnee.*f in readmefs to pull out a fcflifc which thvy had in their boots ; in the other hand ihey held their whips with the lash coiled Dp ; thetr fledges temamed at a little" dis¬ tance, the fourth man being apparently (Id- tioneJ to keep them in rcadinefs for es¬ cape. Sometimes they drew back the co¬ vering they had on their heads, as if wi>h ing to catch the moft dillant founds; at •A'hich time 1 could difeern their features, difplaying extreme terror snd amazement, while every limb appeared to tremble as ihey moved. Sacheufe was directed to entice them to the fhip,and two men were now fent with a plank, which was accord¬ ingly placed acrofs the chafrn. They ap pea red lli;l much alarmed, and requetled that Sacheuse only should come over ; he accordingly paflcd to the oppofite fide, on which ihey earneftly befought him not to touch them, as if he did, they should cer¬ tainly die. After he had ufed many argu¬ ments ro perfuade them that he was flc.-h and blood, the native who had shown mod courage ventured to touch his hand, then pulling himfcif by the iiofe, fet up a shout. their adonibh'r.ent appeared extreme, so I they looked round in filence f.ra mometit at each other and at us ; immediately af- terwarda they set up a general shout, .suc¬ ceeded by n loud laugh, c\prelTive of ex¬ treme delight, cs v.-.eli a^ . 1 fw.i,e. io .yfaieh we joii.ui. paitiy irom inability to avoids it, and willing, also, to show thzt we were pleased with our acw acquaintances."
