THE PACIFIC

By the West Indian mail we have dates from Valparaiso
to May 15th ; Callao, 25th ; Paita, 30th. The following sum-
mary of news we compile from the Mercurio:—

Cnins.—During the first two weeks of May, this republic
has continued enjoying the advantages of the tranqu4l►ty in
which it maintains itself, and of its constant efforts to rest
its increasing prosperity on the most solid foundations. The
important treaty of friendship and commerce, which estab-
lishes the most ample mercantile liberty between Chile and
the Argentine Confederation, has been duly exchanged in

pital. and is t

henceforth considered as a law

in both countries. The treaty fixing the Consular relations
between this republic and New Granada was also exchanged
on the 9th. The commissioners for this importer

act were

Sr. D. aras, minister of state, and D. Andres
Laiseca, general consul of New Granada. Both represen-

consideration.

Bouvte..—Peaca has been completely established in this
republic. General CJrdoba's adminietration proves, up to
the present moment, worthy of the support of the nation.
Thp committee for compiling the codes of law were installed
at Sucre on the ist of April, and several projects for inter-;
nal improvements are mentioned as engrossing the attention
of government and the various towns. The yellow fever
was making some ravages in the provinces of Onsasuyos
and Munecas. The citizens who stood by government dur-
ing the late revolutionary attempt have been rewarded with
a medal of honour.

PERV.—The trade with Bolivia is still active, notwith-
standing the extensive importations effected in la Paz and
Cochabamba. Importations in Arica have been made by
the following vessels z Belld Oubatia, from Bordeaux ; Mary
Goodell, from Boston, and Horn, from Callao. The Rdpido,
from San Antonio, imported a cargo of wheat. The Jitana
had been dispatched from Hamburg with produce of the
country, and the Favorite was to sail in a few days.
There was an incessant arrival of produce from
the interior; particularly of copper barrilla, and the
whole stock of this article in Arica amounted to
50,000 qq. The ftiver had disappeared from Iquique.
The national conven ion continued its sessions, and, on
account of the fever prevalent in Lima, it had removed to
the bathing place of Chorrillos together with the govern-
ment, but not belore increasing the members daily allowance
from eight to twelve dollars each. A law of complete
amnesty has been issued, ordering the ranks of such persons
as served under General Echenique's administration to be
recognised, granting them pensions, and also awarding such
military pensions as the law allows to the widows and
children of those who perished in defence of the government
during the late campaign. All the stupid degrees of
the provisory government are therefore annulled. But, at
the same time, fresh extraordinary powers for six months
have been accorded to General Castilla, strengthening his
dictatorship with authorisation to imprison persons, search
private dwellings, suspend the functions of judges, &c.
Some military disturbances had taken place in Chincha and
Chiclayo, but they had been put down. However,.revolu-
tionary attempts continued to burst forth, and no confidence
ed in the stability of the present state of things.
