There were from four to five hundred horses going
forward to Calao, for the Peruvian government, by
| the Castan and an English vessel, supposed to be
for the Peruvian coalition with Flores, in the Guya-
| quill movement.
Coronel coal was attracting much attention in
Valparaiso, 500 tons having been lately purchased
/ for the English coast steamers. This coal comes
from Coronel thirty miles to the south of Talcahu-
ano, and bids fair to take the place Of English or
Sidney coal on this coast.
The telegraph was progressing rapidly, the wires
being already up nearly onethrd of the distance to
Santiago. As for the railroad, if surveying is any
criterion, it too is the advance M Wheeright,
the father of all Yankee enterpris0 in this country,
was expected to 60 to England, to negotiate loan
| for the railroad.
| The Breakwater and Custom House stores, under
the pushing Mr.. Brown, were rapidly progressing,
and, when finished will add much to the appearance
of our harb0r.
| Several Americans had arrived at Valparaiso to
| establish themselves there two of which, from
Boston, were running up regular California house
| on the levee, and propose opening produce and
commission business. Such enterprise surprises
these people, and the editor Of the principal paper,
in editorial written against the monthly line of
Chile and California packets, which have been es-
| tablished during the past six months by Yankee
house there stated that the Chians were going out
and the Americans coming into that republic
ECUADOR.
From the Valparaiso Reporter, April 81
This steamer has not brought us any news Of &C.
neral Flores expedition to Ecuador. The Comeysio,
Of Lima of the 18th of March, gives us some further
details of General Flores preparations
General Flores organized his expedition in Lima,
| Callao, Cobija, COpiapo and Valparaiso. The fol-
lowing vessels sailed from CallaoNfsrig Almirante
Blanco, bark Esperanto, and the steamer Chile
conveying about 300 men, forty pieces of field artil
lery, two canons, great number of muskets, ances
| swords and pistols, 200 saddles, 900 complete
requirements for soldiers, some barrels of gunpow
DER cartridges, balls of divers Sizes also vctuals for
the troops.
The persons who have joined him in Peru are Eng
lishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Argentines, Chile
refugees, and other citizens from different parts of
South America.
Those who have joined him in Cobija and valpa-
raise, Chilians suffering from the effects Of the
late revolution. The number of Chilians said to
have embraced General Flores fate, amount to 500
men; so that the whole force of the expedition
ssts in from 800 to 1000 men. Flores expects much
from his Chile soldiers, whom he calls his Swiss
guards, and Of whom he will form his prGtorian
guard, rs he did before with the Venezolanos He
known whether he takes beds and medicine chests;
things he will very require, before eight days
after landing, our-fhs of his soldiers will be suffer-
ing from diseases Of which they will never recover
The ministers Of Ecuador and New Granada used
all their influence to persuade the Peruvian govern
ment to impede the progress of these hostile prepa
rations, but without effect, On the night Of the
18th ul Flores left for Callao going on horseback
accompanied by his staff, whose commander is Eu-
gene Beauman de Metz. They wore their new uni
forms, and had previously sworn to their flag in the
saloon of the American Hotel. They embarked on
board the steamer Chile which sailed on the morn
ing of the 18th. without giving any notice.
The vessels which are preparing in Cobija will
sail for Callao as rendezvous; but where they
not TRANSFERRED 1t is supposed they have chosen for
this purpose Of the deserted ports in the DOrth
We have no news whatever of Ecuadors prepare
tions to resist this attack, of the effect it will
probably produce on the inhabitants Of that repub
lic An event Of SO much Importance, taking place
in the midst of profound peace, quite overwhelms
us with establishment. We hope that Providence,
which rules the destnies of nations, will prevent
any disastrous consequences which might befall a
peaceful nation through this unjustfable and un-
provoked attack.
Nothing had occurred of Importance to that re-
public. The commercial regulations had been pub
lished. A decree had been issued abolishng the
old one, which obliged all merchants to stamped
paper for the first page Of their books. Government
has issued decree against General Flores expe-
dition, dated the 18th of March, and stating that
they, having received repeated nformations of the
warke preparations taking place in Peru, ordered
the projects of the different provinces to take all
possible means to put stop to them. That govern
ment will not afford protection to any Peruvian
citizen who should embark this expedition, or
take any part in it. Also, that all Peruvian vessels
which engaged in the expedition would no longer
be considered as bearing the national flag.
CoPIAPO.
The election of representatives in Congress passed
without much excitement, and the conservative
party won the day. On the 24th ult., gang of
robbers attacked Of the settlements, and sacked
the shop. The same occurred further up in the
valley. The director Of the establishment sum-
moned as many men as he could to join him, and
pursued TIE party Of robbers, consisting of about
twenty-six persons These divided themselves into
small parties, which took different directions, so
that it was impossible to seize them ALL but five
taken-amongst them the leader of the gang-and
they were conveyed to the prison of Copiapo.
The mines continue prosperous. A complete sta
tstica statement OF the province Of Copiapo is
in preparation An electric telegraph about to be
established from Caldera to Copapo, and thence to
Chanarcillo-a work of much Importance and gene
raj utility.
Notwithstanding the almost fabulous riches of the
Copiapo mines, still feels the effect of the
late disturbances. Money is scarce and little acti-
witty is displayed in commercial transactions. Credit
is not sufficiently rcesablished, and the sales by
retail difficult. The quay in Caldera is almost
finished, and vessels will soon be enabled to load
and discharge by its side. 1t will decidedly be the
most handsome work of this kind to be found on the
Pacific coast.
COQUIMBO.
Tranquility and public confidence are daily gain
ing ground in this province, and everything is in
prosperous condition Forty political prisoners are
being tried in Coqumbo, amongst them the cele-
brated lieutenant of the Valdivia, who precpitated
the revolutionary movement of the 9TH of Septem-
Der; also the clergyman Don Joaquin Vera. The
elections passed .peaceaby: The copper mines of
this province are in fourishng condition. Copper
is selling at present at Is dollars rls.
BOLIVIA.
We have received from Bolivia advices of the 10Th
of March The press contains no interesting polit-
cal news, and publishes only transations from Eu-
ropean papers.
The President, Belize, had issued decree for the
regulations to be given to the civil and ecclesastic
functionaries, on military plan
