THE PACIFIC.—The Asia, 84, Captain Stopford,
with the flag cf Rear-Admiral liornby, was at
C iliac. The Admiral was about to proceed to Nica-
ragua in company with other ships of the squadron ;
and there to put himself in communication with the
Britith Charge d'Affaires. The flag lieutenant had
been unwell, but on the 13th January had recovered.
The Amphitrite, 25, Captain Eden, was going the
rounds far freight. She was to be the first vessel flx
England, and would probably sail from Valparaiso
about the end of April.

at Panama with one million and a half of dollars on
board, which she landed there, and proceeded to Val-
paraiso.

was at Callao, Jan. 13.

the Herald, which she was to take to the Sandwich
Islands, to which islands the Asia was also to have
gone, but the business of Tigre Island had altered
these arrangements. The Driver was to go to Van-
couver's Island with the new Governor, Mr. Blan-
chard, who had arrived from England by*the last
mail packet. This trip would probably occupy the
Driver about seven weeks, and she would probably
return by the port of San Francisco.
Toe G )2-gen steam-.loop, Clmmander Paynter,
had returned to Callao from Tigre Island, and taken
off the guns and men that she had left there in I.os-

of the Tigre Llsnd affair there was a stop put to the
Asia's visit to the Sandwich Islands.

terday by the Fearless steam-ves=el.
Toe brig Britomsrt was undocked stri mast( d yes-
