AMERICA.

NEW Yonx, Feb. 3.
Mr. Seward promises that if the Mexican Express Com-
pany shall in any way infringe the laws and treaties of the
United States with the Mexican Republican Government,
the Federal Government will take stops to obtain redress.
The Virginia Legislature has passed a resolution which
endorses President Johnson's policy, and denounces those
who represent the Legislature as being opposed to it.
President Johnson has accredited a Minister to the
Dominican Republic.

The Ranchero, of Matamoras, states that Bagdad was
abandoned by the Liberals on the 26th ult., and that a
Federal guard was stationed there. The Imperialists took
possession the same day.

Cortinas and Escobedo had left the neighbourhood of
the Rio Grande.

The leading merchants of Matamoras, both foreign and
Mexican, have published a protest against the proceedings
of the Federal civil and military authorities on the Texas
side of the Rio Grande, charging them with the responsi-
bility of the troubles and outrages perpetrated on the Rio
Grande by aiding the partisans of Juarez—a party which
they declare has at present no more foothold there than is
afforded by Federal officials. The Consuls of Great Bri-
tain, France, Spain, and Prussia testify to the truth of the
protest.
The Etna has arrived out.

The Inman Company's mail steamship City of Boston
arrived at Queenstown at noon to-day (Feb. 13). She
brings $139,900 and 121 passengers, of whom she landed
11, and proceeded at 12 5 p m. for Liverpool.

CHILI AND PERU.
NEW Yonx, Feb. 3.
Advices have been received here from Valparaiso to the
2d ult., and Lima to the 13th.
The correspondence of the New York Herald states that
Chili and Peru have formed a defensive and offensive
alliance. A fight had occurred between the Chilians and
Spaniards in the harbour of Caldera, the latter attempting
by boats' crews to cut out a steamer in the harbour. The
Chilians on shore drove off the Spaniards, of whom a num-
ber were killed and wounded. The blockade of the Chnian
ports, except Valparaiso and Caldera, had been raised, the
Spanish squadron being concentrated at the two latter
places.
