SOUTH PACIFIC NAIL.

The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's screw
steamer Cloda, Captain Sivell, from Callao, April
27. with 49 passengers, 221,847 dols. for Europe,
and 17,225 dols. for Panama, arrived at the latter
place on the 6th of May.
The news is not of much interest. The Peruvian
news is not important. From Ecuador we learn
that the blockade of Guayaquil still continued
without any immediate prospect of a pacific ar-
rangement.

We copy the following summary of South
American news from the Mercurio del Vapor of
Valparaiso :

"BouvlA.—As we observed in our former review,
this Republic is undergoing a complete regenera-
tion, internal peace having been ensured by the
splendid victory lately obtained by President Lin-
ares over the last remnant of the revolutionary
party headed by General Agreda.
" It has afterwards been known that ex-President
Cordova, who was on the frontiers with the inten-
tion of co-operating with Agreda should his attempt
be successful, retired to Puno as soon as he heard of
the defeat; but he was there arrested by the Peru-
vian authorities, and obliged to retire to Cuzco, 80 -
leagues from the frontier, which has been appointed
the residence of the political refugees from Bolivia.
" President Linares continues displaying most
generous and sagacious policy after his victory, so
that even his enemies are obliged to admire him.
" A national convention was about to be con-
voked, and before it Signor Linares proposes to lay
aside the extraordinary power with which he has
been invested during the late critical and afflicting
situation of the country.
"ARGENTINE CONFEDERATION. - Our advices
from the River Plate provinces reach to the 3,lst
April.

-"Excepting Mendoza, where really extraordin-
ary events are taking place, all the provinces are
quiet ; the news of the Confederation's troops hav-
ing invaded Buenos Ayres has proved untrue.
" The events in Mendoza may be briefly summed
up as follow _ _

The majoiity of the old house, inspired by some
partisans of the former tyrant Rosas, organised
themselves in one of the country districts, and in
their turn appointed Governor Senor Sosa.
" Governor Maza, knowing this, collected a body
of troops and set out in pursuit of the refractory
citizens.

At last dates both parties were on the point of
fighting it out. Governor Maza's triumph will
ensure that province the order and quiet requisite
to its prosperity ; but should the old tyrannical
party prevail its ruin will be inevitable."

The following is fraom araiso correspondent:
Since my last there has been nearly a cessation
of hostilities between the two contending parties
for the government of this country. Gallo still holds
Copiapo and Coquimbo. The Government is con-
centrating all the troops that can be spared at a
place in the north called Illapel. Every effort is
being made to overawe Gallo by a show of forces ;
but when it is considered that one-half of the troops
are raw recruits, the result of an encounter still
remains doubtful; and if the party in power were
as strong as they would make it appear, the revo-
lution would have been ended long since. It is now
a month since the battle of Serena, and yet nothing
has been attempted to make up for the disgrace of
defeat. Meanwhile in Conception the Government
forces have had to intrench themselves in the Plaza,
while the surrounding country is held by Tirapeguir
the chief of a guerilla band some hundreds strong.
There are also guerillas in the vicinity of Talca
that keep the country in a continual state of alarm,
although their doings are not so much to be dreaded
as those of the soldiery, who commit their depre-
dations under the shadow of the law.
" Santiago and Valparaiso remain quiet, and
there will, I think, be no movement in either place
until Gallo gains an advantage.
" We learn from a reliable source that the last

be sold for the benefit of the shippers. The vessel
is a total wreck. Mr. Birac died 48 hours after
landing, from exposure and fatigue.
The captain, who was part owner, lost his papers
and instruments. We have not heard whether the
vessel or cargo was insured. The cause of the
unfortunate loss was a leak, which, during a severe
gale, increased to such an extent that the captain
was compelled to beach the vessel, as the only
means of saving the lives of those on board, or any
portion of the cargo.

It is stated that the prospectus of a company will
be issued in a few days, for laying two telegraph cables
from Cornwall to Canada direct, and that the proposed
capital will be
£500,000.
COLLISION IN THE CHANNEL.—The Iris, of and
from Swansea for Liverpool, was run down last night by
the Norwegian brig Aglia3s, and foundered. The brig sus-
tained damage. The fate of the crew of the Iris is.not men-
tioned.
