PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin, dated the 27th of October,
:acs

"The chief topic of discussion in political circles
and in the press continues to be the recent meeting
at Breslav and its political consequences. I am
enabled to state that all the great political ques-
tions of the day were discussed by the two august
personages and by their Ministers, and that an

agreement has been come to between the two
Powers on principles and facts, and henceforth
the two Cabinets will follow an identical, if not a
collective line of policy, on all the great questions
of the day.

" It is not likely that this agreement has been
put to paper in the shape of a convention, nor is
it a coalition againct any other Power—not even
against Austria, but it is a guarantee for peace, the
conciliation of conflicting interests, and the most
satisfactory solution possible of the questions of the
day.
"The absence of Austria at the Breslau interview
is a fact the importance of which cannot be over-
looked. The policy which has been sanctioned at
Breslau is not a policy hostile to Austria, but it raises
a barrier against the aspirations of the Vienna
Cabinet, which it will not attempt to overthrow. It
is a last warning to the Court of Vienna to cease
its fluctuations and hesitations, to avoid the risk-of
being completely isolated, by assimilating her views
with those which animate the majority of the
European Powers. The internal condition of the
Austrian empire is too intimately connected with
her political relations to allow the Court of Vienna
to hesitate much longer_in declaring the course she
intends to follow.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The Liverpool and New York Screw Steamship
Company's screw steamer, City of Manchester,
Captain Kennedy, arrived in the Mersey yesterday
afternoon from New York. As she left that port
on the 15th, her general news has been antici-
pated ; but she brings 355,815 dols. and £550 in
specie on freight, and 142 passengers, of whom
about 30 were landed at Queenstown.

On the 21st, at 5 p.m., in lat. 49 N., long. 47 W.,
the City of Manchester passed the Royal Mail
steamship Persia, bound west ; on the 26th, at 5
p.m., in lat. 52 N., long., 25 W., signalled the
Royal Mail steamer America, bound west.

WEST INDIA MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.

The La Plata, Captain Weller, arrived to-night,
with the West India mails, 96 passengers, and
neatly 2,000,000 dols. in specie. She has had 15
deaths from yellow fever on the voyage, and several
more persons are dangerously ill.
The news from the islands is devoid of import-
ance. The following is a summary of the intelli-
gence from the Pacific States :
CHlLL—Dates from Valparaiso are to 15th
September. The papers contain very little news
of interest. The alarm caused by the attempts to
disturb the peace, as recorded in our last advices,
had subsided, and no further revolutionary move-
ment had taken place ; the country is quiet. The
persons implicated in the late enzeutes were ar-
rested, and the Mercurio tells us that they are now
at liberty. _ _

Preparations are being made for the national
festivities of September, during which all Chili
makes holiday for a week.
The expedition against the Araucanian Indians
is being prepared; it is to consist of 2,000 men;
its object is to chastise the Indians for their late
depredations, and to take possession of the territory
they occupy in the new province formed in the
South, the boundary of which is the river Imperial.
The reports of the Indian aggressions are said to
have been much exaggerated.
On the Bth the continuation of the Santiago and
Valparaiso Railroad was inaugurated at Quillotta,
with the usual ceremonies.
At Talcahuano news had been received that the
Indians had retired into the interior, much alarmed
at the proposed Government expedition. A cor-
respondent, however, writing from Nacimiento,
says that San Carlos, Santa Barbara, and Angeles
were threatened with fire by the Indians. The
island of Vergara has been completely deserted by
the population. Ten thousand persons had left, and
the Indians were in entire possession.
The accounts from the m'ning districts of Copiapo
are most favourable. The mines at Tres Puntas are
yielding well, and at Chanarcillo the amount of
ore extracted has much increased.
PERU.—We have files of the Comercio to the 28th
September. They contain but very little news, and,
as usual, no notice of the political state of the
country, or of its relation with Ecuador or Bolivia.
On the 26th, the forces, said to be for Ecuador, but
supposed to be intended to operate against Bolivia,
commenced to embark at Callao. The transport
fleet consists of nine vessels, and the army numbers
4,060, not including officers or staff. A number of
pieces of artillery have been embarked.
Sir Edward Cullen, known from his connexion
with the Darien Ship Canal scheme, has applied to
the Government, through the Peruvian Minister in
Bogota, for permission to introduce 25,000 Irish
immigrants into Peru, each person over 16 years of
age to receive a certain portion of land in some part
of the republic, 4,000 feet above the level of the sea.
The Minister, under date of August 27, accepts the
proposition, and authorises the Peruvian Minister
in London to make the necessary contracts for the
passage out of the immigrants.
The bronze statue of Bolivar, intended to be
placed in some public locality in Lima, had arrived
from England in the barque Vicar of Bray.
A writer in the Contercio, of Lima, says that the
price of living has doubled in Peru since 1850.
Dates from Cerro de Pasco to Sept. 19th state
the price of plata pena to be 11 dols. 4c. per mare.
Quicksilver, 130 dols. per 1001bs. -
President Castilla has organised a typographical
corps to accompany the army, consisting of one ad-
ministrador, at 100 dols. a month; one foreman
compositor, at 100 dols. ; two compositors, g 5 dols. ;
one pressman, 85 dols.; and one assistant ditto,
50 dols.

ECUADOR.—The latest papers we have received
from Guayaquil are to Sept. 29, and from Quito to
Sept. 5.

The C'ornercio, of. Lima, Sept. 20th, says that
President Robles arrived from Quito at Guayaquil,
and had an interview with General Franco, in
which he agreed to leave the country and go to
IPunta Espanola, receiving 8,000 dols. for his ex-
penses. Insteld, however, of going to the place
named, he disembarked at Malacha, with the
intention of going into the interior. On the
departure of Robles from Guayaquil, General
Franco was declared " Jefe Supremo" of the nation.
Senor Garcia Moreno changed from the Callao to
the Ucayali, in which vessel he went to Paita, and
there secretly went on board a schooner, which im-
mediately weighed anchor. It is said that the
schooner had 400 muskets with munitions on board,
and that Moreno purposed landing on the coast of
Esmeraldas.
On the 24th the Peninsular Steam Navigation
Company's steamer Lima, from the South Coast,
arrived at Callao, with General Robles, bound on
his way to Valparaiso. The Comercio of the 24th
says that when Robles heard in Quito of the ar-
mistice he left immediately for Guayaquil, but hav-
ing heard on the road of the terms upon which it
was concluded, he considered it dishonourable to
accept them, and resigned the supreme command to
Senor Cation, the Vice-President. In the mean-
time the Provisional Government was recognised
in Quito. The elect ion was regularly made, Gen.
Franco obtaining 161 votes and the Governor of
Quito 160. In the provinces the votes were pretty
equally divided between the two parties.
The army at Cuenca had pronounced for General
Franco; and General Urbina remained at Guaya-
quil, according to scme on terms with General
Franco, and according to others about to leave for.
Europe. It was said that Franco was disposed to
arrange matters with Peru, but that he would re-
sist if Guayaquil was invaded by Peruvian forces.

NAVAL CADETS.—By a recent regulation made
by the Board of Admiralty, no parson, after the Ist of
April next will be nominated to a naval cadetship who
shall bz. under 12 or above 14 years of age at the time of
his first examination. The examination days are fixed for
the first Wednesdays in the months of March, June, Sep-
tember, and December.
• EMBEZZLEMENT OF £23o.—At the Leeds sessions
on Friday William Grcaves Chadwick, lately an outdoor
collector in the employ of the North-Eastern Railway, was
found guilty of embezzling £230, the moneys of the com-
pany, and-sentenced to 12 months' hard labour.
