THE PACIFIC MAIL.
SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY'
L By the Royal Mail Steam-ship Magdalena 11e ,n
have accounts from the Pacific ports, and dates
the 3d of April from Valparaiso, and Callao 0e
6
12th. The Pacific Steam Navigation Compaq
steamer Santiago arrived at Panama on the 20'"h
ult. with $300,000 in specie on freight.
From Valparaiso we learn that the Russisii,
frigate Diana sailed thence on the 23d of Moot!
ostensibly for the Sandwich Islands. The British;
frigate President left on the 21st, and at the las'
accounts was with the Trincomalee at Calloa. Vie
postal arrangements of the Chilian Government
had given great dissatisfaction. The markets Were
more active, but prices of goods were low, t°`
arrivals round Cape Horn having been numerous;
Freights were high, but, owing to the scarcity °'
vessels, little was done.
From Bolivia the only news of importance is tl
the effect that General Belzu was at La Paz, and
in correspondence with General Castilla, the Peru-
vian insurgent leader, to whom he was about to
send money, arms, and troops.
Accounts from Peru state that the city of Ouzo°
pronouned against the Government on the 16tP
of March. General Castilla was said to be in the
vicinity of that place. President Echenivue re'
remained inactive at Lima, but was to march at the
head of the Government troops within 20 days tfi
hazard a general battle. The title of Liberator of
Peru had been conterred on Castilla at Ariquips•
It was generally believed that the Government ives
growing weaker day by day, and the revolutionary
party gaining strength. The British ship Ann,.
Dashwood went ashore on San Lorenzo on the 7W.
of April, and became a total wreck. There Iva°
42 American and 65 English vessels at the Chinchas
at the last accounts. The French ships La Fort
and L'Eurydice were at Callao. Seamen vier°
very scarce, and there was room for 1,000 extra
hands. Six or seven vessels were lying at th©
Chinchas waiting crews to take them home. ELI"
