We find sundry items of news from the South
American Republics, which may be OF interest.
From Chill we have the following
A law, regulating the carrying trade, had been
passed, which would be of material importance to
commerce. Goods in future are to be allowed to
be warehoused for six months, and also the privi-
lege of opening packages, and putting up assort-
ments of goods in the Custom House. The excess
slvely high duties which were exacted on certain
goods, mot specified IN the article from which we
condense.) are to be lowered, and those duties
which various home manufactures paid formerly,
are 10 be done away with, and many facilities for
the embark alton, discharglng, and transportation
of goods. are also afforded. These changes were
TO take place from the LIST Of July last.
The negotiations relative to the question of the
boundaries between Chill and Bolivia, were sus-
pended in consequence of a change of adminlstra-
t,on in the latter Republic, and the withdrawal Of
the minister, who had previously had the affair in
charge.
A treaty of commerce and navig CATION had been
made with Peru, on mutually advantageous terms,
and was to be submitted to the legislative bodies
of both countries. The Senate of Chill had agreed
to bill, which originated with the Executive, by
which, IN future, that clause in their navigation
laws, requiring every one commanding Chllian
vessel to be also Chilian citizen, Is repealed.
| The law authorizing the construction of rail-
road between Santiago and Valparaiso, was under
discussion in the House Of Representatives.
In the Ecuador, it is said that the people are
! getting tired of the continual fulminatons of the
! Government against General Flores. 1t is now
thought that he has no project against the Repno-
| lie, but merely wishes TO return and reassume his
position as President. The Faro Industrial thinks,
| that altogether too much fuss has been made about
Flo,es al his plans, and that If the Ecuadorians
would lust let him come back, as any other citizen
would that no more trouble would be had with
| him, but this continual outcry against HIM makes
| him altogether too important.
In Peru difficulties are arising IN the southern
provinces; the vaclllaung nature OF the govern
ment policy toward these distant provinces seems
| 10 be fast alternating them from the home gov
eminent, and 1t is 10 be feared that long
| they will separate themselves entirely.
| In Bolivia affairs are IN an unstable condition /;
! there was an outbreak against the government in
the city of Paz on the 25,h May, and the general
| idea among the leading men of that Republic Is
! that but two ways remain 10 give stability to Bo
| lvia, and these are list To obtain commercial
dependence. which, by directing the industrious
! classes towards commercial transactions, will give
occupation 10 the inhabitants and resources for
| the obtaining of the necessarles and luxurles OF
! life. I'd. The incorporation OF the Republic with
| that Of Peru by which course the inhabitants
would obtain all those benefits which the Peruvl-
ans now enjoy.
The first plan is the one OF the party which ad-
| here to General Balhvlan; IN whose favor the
! movement at La Paz took place. The second
is that of General Santa Cruz's party. One OF
| Them will prevail. Meantime all is unsettled and
| pIecanous in BOLIVIA.
