 Extract of a letter, dated U. s. Frigate
 Potomac, at Callao, August 7.-ssI have been at Lima, aud passed few days there.
 There was report on Tuesday, 29th uti- mo, that q revolution had taken place some
 leagues distant III the interior, at ayacucho and Cuzco. We have not heard how true this account Is. President Gamarra, at the head of eight hundred troops, left the city on the morning of the 18th ult for the purpose of quelling tho disturbances. He is said to have paid them two months wa ges in. advance, and that he was to make forced marches at. the rate of thirteen leagues. per day, until he arrived at the quar- ters oE the insurgents. His wife who is as true an Amazon as ever breathed, and who, in fact, holds the reins of the Govern ment, followed him. next day, dressed in a oolonel's uniform, mounted on fine char ger, at the head of another body of sol- .diers!

 In q letter to you from Valparaiso, mentioned that news hiid reached us that Gamarra had been deposed. Another can- didaie had been elected to fill the chair, but he has been banished by order of the President. Of course, Gainarra is still in power, but another Congress is soon to as- semDIe, aha wnau VIII be the issuy IS more than can divine. The President has ta- ken very arbitrary measures, and such as he cannot wei retrace. There may be a revolution, but we trust 1t may be without blood Gamarra Is supported by the sol diers, and contrary to the constitution he has allowed them to vote. This has crea- ted much heart burning among the citizens, and the general opinion is, that he will pro- claim himself supreme dictator for life.
 The present report of revolution in the interior Is thought by some to be nothing more than a ruse de guerre, to take him. selt as well as his troops, into the interior. We shall undoubtedly hear the result in a few days Poulsoa-
