interesting and important intelligence, which comes
to us from perfectly reliable and authentic
SouIce:- r.
Immediately on the receipt Of dispatches at Ii
ma, the 3lst Of July, sent by the Peruvian MIN
lister at Washington, the Council of State clothed
the Executive with extraordinary powers. One
steamer and two ships of war were sent to the Lo-
hos Islands, and three more were 10 De sent iline
dately after. Gen. Destua was at the Island, win
q force of 800 men.
The English steamer Lima, that left on the 18th
of August landed with 5l5 men, well differed, lat
Payta on the 18th They would leave the next
day in the steamer Bimae, for Lobos Island.
Orders had been given to station 1000 men at
Lambayeque Coast opposite Lobos lslands.) The
Lobos Islands would be strongly fortified, every
thing being prepared for so doing.
In the steamer Sierra Nevada, which arrived AT
New York on Sunday from Chagres, came passen-
gers His Excellency J. J. de Osma, Envoy Eytraor-
binary and Minister Plenipotentary from the Re-
public of Peru, family aud suite. This gentleman
the brother of the present Peruvian Minister,
comes to this country especially charged to treat
upon the Lobos question. 5 n
In connection with this subject we may appr,o-
priatey refer to letter recently published IN the

Webster, giving list Of twenty-one vessels sent
der the information received from Mr.. Wehster-
Should the vessels here referred to reach the Lobos
Islands before the recall of the instructions given
by this Government to the commander of the United

with hftymen, -four nine pound carronades' ana

rected to resist so far forth as his means would al

with his business. A certified copy OF the Secre-
tary of States letter communicating the rights ana
privileges of our citizens, was gwen HIM as guaran-
tee proof of of resistance, in case of moles-
tntion.i The special reason for aiming the Sarah
Chase, as stated by Capt. Jewett, is that the Sec
of the Navy informed him that, on account OF the
troubles at Ecuador, it would be impossible for our
Commodore in the Pacific to station vessel at the
islands; but that the squadron would cruise IN that
direction, and as he Judged 1t proper, the
| Commodore would send vessel there Besdes

of articles necessary TO the settlement OF an island

pcate in every respect the bill OF ladlng OF the Sa

despatch her to arrive at the Lobos Islands on
or before October LIST; and this vessel mas without
doubt, before this time, sailed for the Lobos
Islands. The agent, likewise has orders to charter
unlimited number of vessels for carrying guano, (the
rate of charter not to exceed certain price,) ana

ST. LOUIS PoRx TRApE.-The Daily Union Of

extensive arrangements for the business of the APP
preaching season, but no doubt all OF them viii

has caused in many quarters, very anxious and
feversh and speculative feeling, to influence the

capital, to become pork-packers, and the Union is
of the opnion that the operators there VIII open
at SIS for merchantable hogs, and that much high

beautiful, the sunshine bright, and the breeze cool
