WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAIL S

By the arrival of the Magdalena at Southampton,
we are in receipt of a fortnight's later news from the
West Indies and the South Pacific Coast. The
Magdalena brings 1,056,676 dollars in specie. There
is nothing important from the islands. At Jamaica
the rains have set in in right earnest, and the health
of the country has greatly improved. Fever has

almost disappeared. An accident had happened to
the royal mail steam-ship Eagle, which rendered it
improbable that she would ever be able to put to

sea again

' From Chili we learn that the revolution is entrely
at an end. Copiapo is in the hands of the Govern-
ment, and the last. of the insurgents crossed the
Andes, about 500 or, 600 strong, and reached San
Juan, where they laid down their axins ,before the
authorities of the State. General Vidaurre, com-
mander' of'the Government forces in the north,
returned to Valparaiso on the 27th of May, and was
received with great enthusiasm ; the troops are also
returning home', but the war footing of the army
has not yet been reduced. A number of political
prisoners have been tried by courts-partial and
sentenced to death, but in all cases the
Government has commuted the punishment
to imprisonment or banishment from the country.
This lenient policy on the part of the executive has
done much to increase its popularity. There is some
prospect of the army being employed in reducing
the Indians of the Araucanian territory, and the
press generally approves of the project, but as yet
the Government has not officially announced its pro-
jects in regard to the matter. Congress was to meet
on the Ist of June, and the message of President
Montt was looked forward to with great interest.
The state of siege in which the entire republic was
proclaimed ends on the same day, but the President
retains the extraordinary powers conferred upon him
until the end of the year. Rumours of certain
changes in the Cabinet are current, but .in the best
informed circles they meet with little credit.
From Peru we have again accounts of a revolution.
Colonel Zeballos, with 2,000 men, has pronounced
against the Government at Cuzco, and it is reported
that Cuchibamba and Cailloina had followed the ex-
ample. Castillo, Echenique, and Urcta are reported
at the head of tie revolution. Meanwhile President
Castilla endeavours to make it appear that the
Government is perfectly safe in his address to
_the
Senate and the House of Representatives. An Islay
correspondent, under date Of 7th June says :—" We
have news of a serious movement in Cuzco, the Com-
mandante of Castilla's troops there having made a
revolution, carryino• with him the whole of his men.
The prefect and other authorities had all been turned
out, and new men were named in their places by the
Irevolutionary party.
