BY the arrival at Panama Of the
P. s. N. Cos steamer Lima, we have
IA days. later intelligence from
1.-THE Pacific coast Of South America.
We take the following details from
the Panama Star: so .o 7se'ias IN
We learn from friend who came
Iup on the Lima, that an expedition
OF several hundred men had recently
sailed from Peru, nominally for the
Lobos Islands, where all the Peru
Wan navy was concentrated, to-
gether with considerable number
oil troops. As there can be no
possible necessity for all these vessels
and men remaining at these islands
for their protection, the inference is
very clear that Peru is using them
merely as q screen, behind, which to
organize an effective force, whether
for offence or defence remains to be
seen. 'AAi p .-" s''
Rumors are current in town that
| the Ecuadorian Minister had de-
manded compensation from Peru for
the expenses incurred by the first
named government in repelling the
recent invasion by Flores, which it
charges Peru with having originated
and supported. The government Of
Peru, it is said, refused to consider
the claim, and has intimated to
Ecuador that if she wants satisfac-
ton she can take il in any manner
she can get it.
Our readers are already informed
that the Congress of Ecuador had
passed decree authorizing the
President, in certain contingencies
bearing upon the Flores expedition,
TO declare war, enlist native and
foreign soldiers, and borrow money
to carry on hostilities against Peru.
One OF the contingencies looked to
having arisen-the refusal OF Peru to
pay any attention whatever to the
claims OF Ecuador-we now anx.
iously await further advices. If
Ecuador goes to war with Peru,
New Grenada, according to treaty
stipulations, is bound 10 assist her.

Another accident has occurred to
the new machinery in the mint, and

PERU.-Affairs in Peru are quiet;
and trade seems to flourish. Im-
provement is the order OF the day.
The Government is constantly en-
ployed, in making payments OF
money in the execution of public
works, of acknowledged importance,
and the entire country is daily re-
ceiving therefrom benefits which
cannot be questioned. nsb eI'
The whole coast OF Peru is in q
state of tranquility. The receipts
of the Customhouses increase, COM
merce revives, general confidence
augments, and everything appearstc
announce the beginning OF an epoch
OF happiness and progress. sdr
BoLIvIA.--From Bolivia we gather
the important and interesting fact,
that the Government appears to
have awakened to the Importance OF
opening a communication with the
Atlantic, by means Of their Rivers
Benz Branco and Mannora, which
fall into the Madeira, the largest
southern branch of the Amazom
The commissioners appointed to
examine the route, are Of opinion
that the difficulties are not so great
as was formerly believed, and that
with small expense they may be-
obviated. -ool $40 8isT
Ii is stated that schooner sailed
from Para, at :he mouth of The
Amazon, and crossed the rapids on
the Madeira last April, and arrived
within twenty leagues OF CocEabam-

navigation in that direction, il would
most probably draw off much Of ihe
trade which Valparaiso now has
with that country.
