Peruvian steamer Rmac, at Cobija. 1t is expected
that she must have met with some accident to her
The only news we have from Chile is contained in
the Lima Concrete Of the 25th, from which we
learn that the British barque Acacia, from Hartle
pool, arrived at Valparaiso, having on board the
California, and lost off Cape Horn.
From Bolivia we learn that Belzu has appointed
ST.. Aguirre Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in place
OF Sr. Bustlll0, who has resigned.
The Lima papers contain no news of any import
ance relative to the Bolivian question, and do not
note the progress Of the war, or give any informa
ton OF interest
A copy Of declaration Of certain inhabitants Of
Bolivia, giving their reasons for opposing Bolzu, and
calling upon other nations to witness the justice Of
their course is published but it bears signatures

The EstandGrte Pruano, in noticing the errors
in some figures lately published relative to the qua

We find no further items of news in Lima files,
and our private letters inform that there is nothing
OF importance stirring there either i'll political or
commercial matters.

in Peru from June 26, 1850, to July s, 1858, have

from Germany, and 326 from Ireland.
The p. s. n: Co.'S steamer Bolivia sailed from
Panama for Valparaiso on the 7th inst with the
usual semimonthly mail and passengers. Among
the latter was Governor Wood Consul OF Val pa
raiso, and General Merlin, Vice Consul.

And now we come to that division of the globe to

the Spanish American republics

gifts that nature has lavished upon her with such

volcano over which the still warm lava crust has not
yet hare ened, and in which, at any moment, the
flames may burst forth again with redoubled VIC
lcnce. A republic but in name; her rulers govern
through the fear and not the affections Of the people,
and from the days OF lturbde to the present rule of
Santo Anna, have sought more their own personal
ACKNOWLEDGMENT than the public good. Revolution

New Granada comes next in order. After long
