From information received from reliable source,
it would seem that the nature Of the commerce
which has caused excitement relative to these
islands, belonging to the Peruvian government, is
about to be fully understood On the 10Th inst !,
the ship Aanlius, from New York, arrived at the
islands for the purpose of procuring gaano, She
anchored in a fog, which, however, soon cleared
away, and was then discovered by the Peruvian
war steamer Rimac. General Deustua, commander
general Of marine, mounting that steamer, At once
summoned the captain on board, and showed the
DEGREES Of the Peruvian government. fesbiddings
vessels Of all nations touching at said islands, either
for the purpose of sealing or loading guano. Tho
captain replied that ho understood he was prescott
ing legitimate commercial enterprise; stating, at
the same time. that it was not his intention 70 in
fringe any of the laws or regulations Of Peru that
he had been msled as he was then fully aware, and
would imme distcly get underway, and quit the
islands; requesting, at the Same time, recommen-
dation from the commander general 70 the govern
ment's agents at Lima, for a charter party ON ac-
count of said government, SO as to be enabled to
return home witha cargo Of guano either from that
or any Of the governments deposits. The COM
mander. general willingly granted his request, with
out, however, taking upon himself any positive
compromise, and leaving tho case entirely at the
option Of the government or its agents.

this Province ct their last session, authorised the
Governor OF the Province President Of the Canal
Board, together with ssid Board to contract, ceds,
or grant, the canal called Ell Dique, (Which uuites
the bay OF CarthageDs with therver Magdalena,) to
any company or person who might petition for said
canal This canal was begun in the year 1915, by g.
M. Tottcn, Esq, the talented and energetic en-
ginecr who is at present the principal of the en-
cheering corps on the Panama railroad $500, 600
were spent; the canal was almost finished: $4,000
more were required 10 fnish it, and il was impossi-
BILE to raise it The treasury was impoverished
and the fact of the matter Is the DiQGe was never
finished! $50 900, il is calculated would nov finish
it, and place it in perfect repair, and there is no
doubt that In one or years, after being opened
to navigation, tho receipts would cover the amount
Invested. The board Ii anxious to see il finished
(kn0wipg full well the incalculable benefits that
would accrue to this port from the canal being
opened, drawing all The of the interior TO
this port, and making Carthagena the principal
northern point OF New Granada,) and NOS having
themselves the means for doing, can safely say
they would cede it for almost any term Of years. and
with all the privileges that be safely granted to
any company or person taking up said work. Some.
OF your readers may say, II II is such capital in
yestment, why don't the people themselves take it
up! There 10 no doubt that If this canal was in any
other country but this, and with advantages less
obvious than this has, it would already have
been DONE But here. those that might do it are the
capitalists of the countTy-me who have small Ca
pitfalls, and who, by sitting quietly at their desks,
get their two and three per cent per month, with
good security, and who, even if they anticipate
great profits, it is enough that there should be the
sma lest particle OF risk tor them to draw back.
What We want here is little Yankee 80 ahsad-ism.
