Our New York correspondent writes:-•." The
steam-ship Cambria arrived at Boston on the 13th
of September, and the Arabia on the 14th. The
Atlantic reached New York on the 15th inst. A
letter had been published from Mr. Johnston, the
Know-Nothing Free-soil candidate for the Presi-
dency, declining the nomination, and declaring his
adhesion to Mr. Fremont. This letter was said to
have been surreptitiously obtained. The Whigs were
to hold a Convention at Baltimore on 17th to nomi-
nate candidates for the Presidency and Vice-Presi-
dency. It was supposed they would declare in favour
of Mr. Fillmore. The Republicans were to hold
conventions at Trenton, in New Jersey, and at
Syracuse, in New York, on the same day. The
news from Lima is to the 15th ult. A revolt had
broken out among the troops. The insurgents
numbered 500 or 600 men, under General Castillo.
When apprised of the revolt the President mus-
tered those troops which had remained loyal,
to the number of 600 or 700, and proceeded to attack
the insurgents, who had taken possession of the
square of the Inquisition. After some skirmishing
and a cavalry charge, the insurgents were compelled
to retreat out of the city, and the insurrection, for
the time being at least, was suppressed. The
populace were much excited during the day, but
took no part in the affair."
