"Santi1go de Chile, 25h Oct 1925.
''By this opportunity, tue brig Canada via
Baltimore, send lou a small pnquet, of news
papers of this place, Calao and TruxiIlo-
those from the two latter places beng the lat-
estdates we are in possession of. They do not
contain much OF very great interest. but will
serve TO shew The state of things in this quarter |
% tue world. The Spanish ca, ASIA and br q !
Achilles, entered Calao on the 18th ultimo
without daring to attack Admiral GusSe m |
the Prueva of al, accompanied by small |
brig oi 10, who went out to meet them, and |
challenged the Spanish Commodore toCombat-
Adfniia Case, being some miles 10 eeward. |
could not compel them To action. The squad !
ron of Chile, consisting OF two stout frigates will
sail IN few DAYS to JON GWiSe, when II i, cX |
pected they will be able TO destroy or capture !
this newly arrived Spanish force. We are IN !
daily expectation of interesting news from Peru,
the only seat of war in South America. The |
reported bloody battle of the 81 of August
turns out mere fabrication: up To the 18th
September there has been no battle except
that OF the 9th August on the plains of .Junin,
which resulted completely in favor of b ,jcar.-I
:. BY the latest accounts we learn that the ROYAL
army sin full retire towards Cuzco for the pur-
pose II corning a junction with the division I'M !
der = Hdec, which had been sent in pursuit of
O'Hietd, III upper Peru, who appears TO be act |
lng Independently both of the hmg and the Pa !
trlot Governnent--Out, If the Intelligence of
the dcea; ot raiaeS oy OiIaetd be true and
thee appears no reason 10 doubt il, the force OF
the former must be very UiuC reduced, and the
PROBABILITY OF a junction between the two ROYAL
commuters must in Consequence be very
much diminished Besides B2ttca, was in full
puIsu'' OF Clterac, whose force had been much
reduced by the loss experienced in the battle
OF Junln and subsequent desertiou; and il was
believed that he would be able to ovettale lie
roy al General and compel INN to battle before
the possibility OF an union of the two armies
6otrarS head quarters were on the 9th Au
gust At Huananga. Upon the whole the affairs
OF Peru have assumed very favorable aspect
and there is every reason to believe that the
campaign Will terminate IN the total rout and /
destruction OF the royal armies; and that Peru |
wili soon be freed from her encmy.-Stronm re- |
