The CoKHEcrIcur LiQuoR Law The New
Haven Register gives The following synopsis of
the Liquor Bill just passed the Legislature Of
Connecticut
II provides that license to sell by wholesale
or retail may be granted BY the s-lectmen of
towns and the COMMON councils of Cities and
last for one year. Every person SO licensed is
to pay into the public treasury not less than $25
nor more than 500, at the discretion of the
granting power Duly licensed taverns are not
to be subject to this tax. Selling without Ii
cense, to subject offenders to a fine of $50 for
the first offence, 800 for the second, and 300
and imprisonment in the county Jail for the third
offence. No person can sell adulterated wines
or liquors conviction for that offence, forfeits
his license and the money paid for it, and brings
fine Of $500. None but taverns can sell 10
be drank upon the premises ; no person can sell
to any one addicted to habits Of intoxication,
knowing him 70 be common drunkard no IL
quor can be sold by the glass on public occa-
sionan tents, booths, or open fields, nor shall =
license be granted to any person for such a
purpose. Such appears to be the principal fea-
lures Of the bill now before the Senate, which
has passed the House.

WAR BETWEEN BOLIVIA AND PERU

WAR BETWEEN BOLIVIA AND PERU.
The following extracts Of letters from Peru,
received in New York, the latest of which 10
dated Goth ult., show that war between Peru
and Bolivia was inevitable or, perhaps, was al
ready begun. A Peruvian squadron was at Is
lay by the last accounts, and was to proceed in
three or four days to attack the Bolivian port
Cobja:
Extract of a Letter from an Officer on boarG the
Persciap Steamcr.cf par .7mazones, dated
AFRICA, May 6, 1853.
As stated in my last, we sailed from Callas
on the night of the 25th of April, having in tow
the frigate Mercedes, which carried the battal-
ion of Callao destined for africa. We touched
at lslay on the Cd instant, leaving arms and am.
r,uniiion, and arrived here on the 4th
AtIsiay we met and took on board our minis
ter TO Bolivia, Senior Prada, who yesterday ad
dressed an official despatch to the Bolivian gov
eminent We must wait for the return of the
messenger to decide whether we are to attack
Cobiia or return. We cannot hear in less than
twelve or fifteen days.
From the samc.1
AFRICA, May 90, 1853.
In reference to my last need only say that
the messenger returned yesterday, bringing ans.
wer that the President of Bolivia will neither
give satisfaction nor admit our minister, OF
course, amicable relations are at an end and war
declared
The squadron will sail for Cobija on the 23d
or Oath instant. 1t is said that no resistance
will be made at Cobija, but that the port will be
abandoned on the appearance OF any Peruvian
vessel.
Extract of a Letter, dated
LIMA, May 26, 1853.
One of the hostile acts on the part of Bolivia
was the embargo of five hundred horses, coming
from Buenos Ayres, for the Peruvian govern
ment. Belzu, the President Of Bolivia, declares
by his conduct that he is anxious for war. The
insults which Peru frequently receives from
him, as well as his declining give any salts
faction, and refusing TO enter into an arrange
ment regarding the coin, makes it necessary
for US to take up the guan,let-Wash Union.

FINALE TO A DUEL.

From the New orleans f1Cdyune, June 49,
At late hour on Thursday night last two of
our young fire eating bloods entered one Of the
fashionable saloons in st. Charles street in a
state which indicated considerable fatigue, sup
posed 10 be caused by carrying too large brick
in their respective hats-in point of fact, as
Micawber would say, they were decidedly inc
briated. After imbibiny once or twice more,
they commenced bandying wit, which gradual.
" grew personal, and finally some very insult
ing language was used by one of the parties,
which fred the blood of the other, previously
sufficiently heated by liquor, and challenge
was Immediately given and promptly accepted.
Cabs were called, and the belicose young gen.
tlemen entered different vehicles and ordered
the drivers to proceed at once 10 aThe Oaks,
4 locality which has acquired bloody distinc-
ton from the number of duels which have been
fought there. They steadily refused to allow
any of their friends to accompany them, or adj
NIT of their interference for the purpose of ct.
fecting reconciliation and one of the party,
familiar known as "Paredes," who was gravely
drunk, was requested to stand guard over an
other who wished to interfere, which he prom
Used to do.
On arriving at "The Oaks" the cabmen were
very much astonished to find the embryo duel
lists wrapped in the arms Of Morpheus! With
some difficulty they were awakened, and re-
cognising the locality and each other, they both
looked somewhat surprised. having entirely for-
gotten both the quarrel and the intended fight.
One Of them finally broke oat with: Why. A.,
what are you doing here?" A.. looked confuse
ed for moment, and answered, 81 recollect
now that some fellow grossly insulted me; but
| can't remember who he was. However, !
know challenged him, and suppose he will
be here soon." The other Immediately prof.
fered his services as second, and swore he
would stand by his friend through thick and
thin. They both embraced with tears of affec-
ton in their eyes, and sat down on the damp
grass to wait for the arrival Of their antagonist
After remaining there until near daybreak,
and anathematizing the cnwardly scoundrel who
had insulted one and disappointed both, they
entered their respective cabs and returned to
the city. They were seen breakfasting toge-
Their the next morning at restaurant, vowing
to dislocate every bone in the body Of the man
who had played them such contemplate trick,
if they could only find him.
Who struck Billy Patterson?
r. S-Paredes is supposed to be stll stand
ing guard over the interfering friend, as he has
not been relieved, and his military habits will
not allow him to leave his post without ord
ers.
