There were from four to five hundred horses going
forward to Callao for the Peruvian government, by
the Castillian and English vessel supposed to be
for the Peruvian coalition with Flores, in the Guya-

from Coronel, thirty miles to the south of Talcahu-

Several Americans had arrived at Valparaiso to
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 an editorial written against the monthly line of
Chile and California packets which have been
tablished during the past six months by Yankee
house there stated that the Chlans were going out
and the Americans coming into that republic.
ECUADOR
From the Valparaiso Reporter April o.
This steamer has not brought us any news of Ge-
neral Flores expedition to Ecuador. The Comerso,
of Lima, of the 18th of March, gives us some further
details of General Flores preparations.
General Flores organized his expedition in Lima,
Callao, C0bija, Copiapo and Valparaiso Tho fol-
lowing vessels sailed from Caao:-<Brig Almirante
Banco, bark Esperanza, and the steamer Chile
conveying about 300 men, forty pieces Of field artl
lery, two can0ns great number of muskets lanoes,
swords and pistols, 200 saddles, 1000 complete
ac0utrements for soldiers, barrels Of gunpow-
der cartridges balls Of divers Sizes also vctuas 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-
raiso, are Chlians suffering from the effects Of the
late revolution. The number of Chilians said to
have embraced General Flores fate, amount to 500
men; that the whole force of tho expedition con-
siss in from 800 to 900 men. Flores expects much
from his Chile soldiers, whom he calls his Swiss
guards, and Of whom he will form his prGtorian
He takes loo gold ounces with him. 1t is not
known whether he takes beds and medicine chests;
things he will very soon require, as before eight days

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 ult. Flores left for Calao, 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 CobJa will
sail for Callao as a rendezvous; but where they

tons 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 destinies of nations, will prevent
any disastrous consequences which might befall a
peaceful nation through this unjustifable and
provoked attack.
Nothing had occurred of Importance to that re-
public. The commercial regulations had been pub
lished. A decree had been issued abolishing the
old one, which obliged all merchants to use stamped
paper for the first page Of their books Government
dition, dated the 18th Of March, and stating that
they, having received repeated informations Of the
warlike preparations taking place in Peru, ordered
the projects of the different provinces to take all
possible means to put a stop to them. That govern
ment will not afford protection to any Peruvian
citizen who should embark on 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 2ith ult., gang of
robbers attacked one of the settlements and sacked
the shop. The same occurred further up in the
valley. The director of the establishment
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
tistcal statement Of the province Of Copapo is
in preparation. An electric telegraph is about to be
established from Caldera to Copiapo, and thence to
Chanarcillo-a work of much Importance and gene
raj utility.
Notwithstanding the almost fabulous riches of the
Copiap0 mines, commerce still feels the effect of the
late disturbances. Money is scarce, and little act-
witty is displayed in commercial transactions Credit
is not sufficiently rc-establshed, and the sales by
retail difficult. The quay in Caldera is almost
finished. and vessels will soon be enabled to load

COQUIMBO.
Tranquility and public confidence are daily gain
ing ground in this province, and everyt thing is in
prosperous condition. Forty political prisoners are
being tried in Coquimbo, amongst them the cele-
brated lieutenant of the Valdivia, who precptated
the revolutionary movement of the It'll of Septem-
Der; also the clergyman Don Joaquin Vera. The
elections passed peaceably. The copper mines of
this province are in fourshing condition. Copper
is selling at present at Is dollars 2 rls.
BOLIVIA.
We have received from Bolivia advices of the 10Th
of March. The press contains no interesting polti-
cal news and publishes only translations from Eu-
ropean papers.
The President, Belize, had issued decree for the
regulations to be given to the civil and ecclesiastc
functionaries, on military plan.
