BALTIMORE, May 99.-The fine ship
Corin.hian, Capt. Hall, arrived here OH
Tuesday night in IO7 days from Callao,
whence she sailed on the 9Th of February,
and from Rio Janeiro, which latter port
she left on the 18th April. We learn, by
the report at the Exchange Reading
Rooms, that the expedition which had
been sent from Lima against the Span
iards in upper Peru. had entirely tailed,
and the Patriot army so signally defeated,
that their cause was looked upon as lost.
The Spaniards, it was supposed, would
shortly re-possess themselves OF Lima, and
the Patriots were not in situation TO
make any efectual opposition, having nei'
Their money nor troops, and the people
generally much dissatisfied with the gov
eminent, whose conduct was by no means
calculated to conciliate their good will,
nor that Of strangers. Specie had entire
ly disappeared-and paper money was at
a discount Of 50 per cent. The distress
generally was very great and indicated
the approach of some violent change. A

mense quantities afoat, which like most
other goods, bad become a mere drug.
Several careoes OF Bengal wheat were Of.
fered extremely low but no purchasers.
The U. S. scbr Dolphin, Captain Con-
Ber, was at Callao-the Franklin "a, com.
modore Stewart, was shortly expected
from Valparaiso and the intermediate
ports.
The Corinthan sailed from Rio on the
18th April company with the ship Arm

Gus, and most of the American vessels in
port we're preparing to leave.
Since the above was in type, we have
been politely favored by commercial
house in this city with the following ez-
tracts from letter dated
"Rio de Janeiro, .4pr,l 9, 1898.
Flour at Rio nine mllreas-the bakers
we'll supplied for three months Wheat
plenty. of ordinary quality. There was
supposed TO he about 10000 barrels at
Buenos Ayres, the middle OF March.
Wines plenty and dull--saie Al sixty mill
reas per pipe. Oil scarce and worth D.23
per gallon.
The stability and prosperity OF this gov
ernm.n n, will depend in a grea, measure on
the success OF CochraD's squadron, on the
way against Bahia, and the political events
in Europe. Should Portugal be engaged
ia war near home, it will be fortunate for
this country. We hear nolting Of the
Certes. Sailors are en,iced away from
vessels and kidnapped in the streets, to
man the Imperial Vessels-much abuse is
practiced Hardly an American vessel IN
port has escaped losing more or less men,
and some OF them ender circumstances
highly unjust, vexalious and tyrannical.
The government of the United States
will find it necessary to send vessel OF
war here; things IN that respect will prob
ably take the same course they did in the
La Plata-Do privaleers' commissions have
yet been issued

At Lima, at the above Gate, there were
ie. 900 barrels OF -four, and wheat enough
from Bengal to make as much more. The
crops IT, Chill and upper Peru abundant,

from political disorders, the place being at
the mercy OF the royaIisis. No specie in
