Fron, Linaa.-The Brig James Beach am. Andrews, arrived at this port yes terday from Coliao, whence she sailed on the 3Ist January. The editors of the American have received from a friend in Lima, file of the Mercufio Peruanos to the 29th January, inclusive. The con tents are not interesting. Capt. An drews reports, that considerable sprepa- rations for war had been made by the governments of Peru and Bolivia. The Peruvian army, headed by President Gamarra i'll person, had marched to the frontiers. The Bolivian army was com manded by the President of that repub- lie, General Santa Cruz. Aninteryiew was said to have taken place between the two Presidents, which ended in mu- tual recrisninations, in consequence oi which the general opinion prevailed at Lima that war would ensue.
 A few days previous to the sailing =of the James Beaeham, news reached Ll- ma of the occurrence of destructive fire at c uaYaquil, the loss estimated at three million dollars. The house and stores occupied'by Mir. Swett, an Ame- riean merchant, had been burned but, by the exertions of his friends, nearly all his goods and furniture were saved. His loss was consequently inconsidera- ble. One of the papers, in mentioning the fire, states that fifty-one houses had been consumed.

fhe Encouragement of Mr. Randolph, charging him with an absurd and undig- ni6ed act of homage in the presence of the Emperor, and on the other with a total want of etiquette and urbanity in his intercourse with the officers of the government during his brief residence in the Russian capital.
 The Prince expressed surprise and concern that any such reports should have gained currency, assuring me that they were entirely destitute of truth He said that Nfr. Randolph's conduct at court had been highly decorous and sat isfactory-that in his general relations with the officers of the government he had uniformly evinced an earnest desire 10 please-that he had left behind him the impression of his being man of tal- ents and courtesy, and that he had no doubt had Mir. Randolph remained at St. Petersburg he would have been ge- nerally liked. The Prince added that the reports in question could not have originated in any thing uttered by any member of the Russian government, and that heshould be very glad to have them expressly eontradicted.

 4 fire occurred yesterday morning in this city, which for a short time seemed to threaten, beyond the possibility of saving it. the destruction of a large amount of property. The fire originated in cabinet makers work shop, in the rear of RIr. Forces residence; and it wasohserved to burst out while the work men were at breakfast, and being filled with shavings and other combustibles, by the time the alarm was given to the extent of two squares, the workshop. and some contiguous wooden outitouses, to which the fire instantly communicat. ed, presented one appalling mass ot flames. There was fortunately very lit- tie wind, or all the houses, west of the fire, on Tenth street, and probably the whole of Varnum's row, en Pennsylva- nia avenue, would have been destroyed. It seemed, indeed, at one time, impossi- bie to save them, such was the scarcity of water, and the absence, until the danger. was nearly over, of fire hooks. The fire reached D. street, consuming Mir. Kirby's cabinet shop, and was there fortunately arrested. Our city is ex- tremelv well supplied with water for ev- cry purpose hut the important one of ex- tinguishing fires. For the want of iu. aicious arrangements, it is very badly of in this latter respect.

 We learn from an officer of the U. S.. ship Natchez, recently from the coast of Mexico, that the that coun- try, produced by the unfortunate and cruel fate of General Guerrero. had in great measure subsided, though the state of the country was by no means settled. The soldiers continue to re- ceive their pay regularly; the finances of the country are represented to be in very hourishing condition: large con voys of money were on their way from the interior to the sea coast, a fact re- markable. as it is the first that the Go vernment would afford protection to for | the last six months. These conductors fas they are .called) require, and are al- ways attended bya guard composed of several hundred of the Government troops. It is believed that immense sums are now due to the customs, which induced and compelled the General to grant the convoy; they are not, howev- CT, without fear for its safe arrival.
 We learn also with great regret, that the treaty wit, the United States and Mexico is entirely broken off, and that our late negotiations with that country have resulted unsuccessfufly. Despatch es. presumed to be highly important, were received hy the Natchez. from our Minister at Mexico, and have been for warded to the Seatof Government.
 
 .Merico and tue United Stotes.-The New Orleans papers of the 18th inst.-- furnish the following paragraph from a; memorial read in the legislative cham Der of MExsco, ontthe 18th of January Hast, by the Minister for Foreign AZ fairs.
 "Our relations with the American powers had always been friendly. How. ever, for some time back, those with the United States had assumed, for reasons which it is useless tomention here. de-. gree of coolness which could not fail to be preludiciai to the interests of the two nations. As to our intercourse with the new powers of the continent, it was almost null, and we had established none at ali with Brazils. The first care of the Government has been to use every ef fort orestore between Mexico and the United States, that frank and cordial friendship which ought ever to exist be-. tweentwoneiehb nations, whoseem- to he identified with one another by tlieir, institutions and oliticalin.erests.

.Mr. Randolph.-The following ex- tract of a letter, relating to this gentle mans conduct while at St. Petersburg, may be relied on as entitled 10 the high est credit. It is from an eminent coun- tryman of ours, distinguished Tn other walks than those of poiitics-now em- ployed in diplomatic station in Eng land one who has no intercstto disguise the truth, and would be incapable of tlo- ing it if be had. We have been con- yineed, from the first that Mir. Ran dolph's behaviour at St. Petersburg, has been tbe subject of most extravagant exaggerations in the reports of it which have appeared in the opposition papers. Party feeiing-the desire of getting up an amusing story-and in some instan- ces, probably personal pique, have con cured in giving false coloring to some circumstances. and in inventing others. fMr. Randolph had, in fact, been guil- ty of the "ianiastic tricksn with which he has heen charged, it would, indeed, be highly mortifying to the national pride of every good citizen, but the true course of a candid journalist, in that case. would be, to ascertain carefully up- on what evidence the story was told |; how much of it was fact, and how much exaggeration aud establishment, before he gave currency to what reflected so little honor on his country. Every man who has a proper natural feeling, we have no doubt, will be glad to learn from undoubted authority. the true impress sion made upon the Russian Court, by Mir. Randolph, during his stay in that country. It is subject in which our national character fer civilization is in- tesested. The following letter contra diets in explicit terms. the most extray- agant and disereditable stories respect ing Mir. Randoiph's conduct towards the Russian Sovereign and the officers of government. The tiishonor of this fool ish tale must now he divided between ttcinventors and those who have fabored to give 1t currency.
 Loadon, .March ?. 1891.
 In the course of conversation which ! had recently with Prince Lieven. the Russian Ambassador. who was prime minister at St. Petersburg at the time af Nr. Randolph's presentation. I took occasion to inauireinto the truth nftbose reports which have been circulated to
