An official bulletin of 24th April, issued in Car-
thagena, confirms the report of the victory of Gen.
Payan over Enao in the Cauca, and the arrest of
the latter with some 350 men.

The news by the Pacific Company's steamer from
the Cauca is important.
Tumaco, Barbacoas, and Buenaventura remained
in the hands of the liberals, but it was expected the
latter port would be taken by Arboleda in a very
short time, as his troops were only two days distant
and merely waiting for canoes to come down the
river and take possession of the place. Arboleda
had intercepted correspondence between Payan and
Sanchez who were about uniting their forces, and
he immediately marched against the former at Cali,
and succeeded in making him and Gen. Alzate pri-
soners. This has caused great sensation among the
Liberal party, Payan being one of their leading
generals. It is supposed that Generals Lopez and
Sanchez would be able to unite their forces to attack
Arboleda, in which event there is little doubt of
their success, Lopez having a well organised body
of 3,500 men. It is also probable that Gen. Mos-
quera may himself enter the Cauca, after receiving
intelligence of the capture of Payan.
The Panama Star and Herald of the 9th says :
" From Chile no incident has occurred during the
past fortnight of sufficient importance to demand
serious attention. Everything goes on smoothly,
and although it is expected that the Government
my sustain some little opposition on the opening
of the Chambers in carrying a few of their mea-
sures, still no apprehension exists as to their stabi-
lity and power to carry out the ends proposed.

The British vessel Albemarle arrived on the Bth.
"Exchange on London, 451 to 46 ; exchange on
Paris, 44,75; freights to England, £4 2s. 6d.
" From Bolivia we learn that the visings in fa-
vour of Gen. Belzu have been stifled through the
prudence and energy of Glen. Ache. The revolu-
tionary party throughout the republic are almost, if
not totally crushed. General Acha is the popular
recipient of political honours, and, in conjunction
with General Perez, is received and acknowledged
every where with pleasure by those who look for-
ward to deliverance from their present troubles.

"Peru remains tranquil, there being no political
news of importance to communicate. An extensive
robbery of jewellery has taken place in Lima from
the premises of Laurie and Brillman ; it appears
during the Semana Santa, and while the principals
of the establishment were at Chorrillas, a clerk
named Luis Johnson, employed by them, taking
advantage of the time and of their absence ab-
sconded with valuables and jewellery in his posses-
sion to the amount of from 30,000 dole. to 40,000
dole. It is presumed heleft in the steamer Callao
for Valparaiso on the 20th ult."
From Oregon and Vancouver's :
The San Francisco papers state that snows and
frosts continue to keep back adventurers to the Sal-
mon River mines, while the supply of provisions
was so scanty that untold misery and death were
threatening. Indeed, many already on the spot and
unable to work for the snows, and dreading starva-
tion, were leaving the mines for a time. Consider-
able sickness existed among them. A similar story
may be told of the Cariboo mines in British Columbia.
The rivers and interior country continued to be
bound up by frost, and provisions had, at many
places, risen to a famine price. Flour, at Yale, was
said to be 75 dols. a barrel, while it was seriously
reported that Chinamen there were paying as high
as 5 dols. for dogs and cats to keep themselves from
starvation. As to the gold prospects, nothing par-
ticularly new is mentioned. The lucky fellows
write letters to the newspapers, dilating on their
100 dole, or their 500 dols. a day, " to the hand ;"
while the unlucky ones, having nothing to say,
"grin and bear it," hoping for better times soon.
Some correspondents, however, do express a fear
that the diggings are by no means so extensive as at
first believed, nor so rich as interested parties—such
as steamboat men, teamsters, farmers, and specula-
tors generally—report.
