were in arms against the government; Generals
San Roman and Vivanco who were ex'les In
Chile, returned and landed at africa; and alter
two months they had a division Of OOo men,
which marched on Puno to reinforce the troops
of Gen Castillo. The government, under this
circumstance, and the succeeding blunders and
temporzing politics of the cabinet, was in a
critical position. A rebellion broke out also in
the northern provinces; the agitation was
greater every day; the progress Of the revolu-
ton was alarming, when an unexpected affair
changed the balance and opened the eyes of the
people, who had been led blind to the in
surrection. / will state briefly the facts:
General Castillo, when he issued his pro-
gramme as leader of the revolution pointed
out the motives that had de ,ided him to take
up the cause of the dissatisfied Provinces
LIST, the unwarrantable waste Of the public
money produced by the consolidation of
twenty millions of dollars; and IDLY, the
cowardly and incoherent policy of the govern
ment in adjusting the difficulties still pending
with Bolivia. Certainly the country mad SUI
fered so much with the Introduction and the
that nearly all the south departments, expect
ing right direction OF affairs, sided with him,
and the insurrection spread from Arequipa to
Tacua, PunO, CurcO and AyacuchO. The re-
vOlutiOn was commenced under favorable Inn
preston, when suddenly some rumor got adoat
that General Castillo was in connivance with
the President OF Bolivia, and by the casual
interception of Castilla's official notes the ru-
mors were no longer O matter of doubt. Ii is

at bis seat as President of Bolivia by the in-
trigues and material aid of Castillo when
President of Peru iD 1847, and very naturally
in his hour of need he looked on him as his sup
porter. The arrangements made secretly were
carried on, and his partisaos have seen with
establishment brigades of artillery. arms am-
munition, horses, and large remittances, pass
the frontier directed for the army Of the insur-
gents These base negotiations have excited
the patriotic feelings of the country, and in my
opinion are enough to produce reaction in the
provinces. This has been proved by the move
ment made in this city, which now is garrisoned
by government troops, and which undoubtedly
will be followed by the other departments.
General Castillo, who is soldier of fortune,
nevertheless, with an army of 4 600 meu, has
taken an aggressive course, and is at present
marching on Ayacucho, where he will meet the
vanguard of General Echenique, and a san
Culinary battle will ensue. The government
troops are making forced marches in three divi-
sions, commanded respectively by Generals
Destua, Pezet and Moran. The artillery, of 20
field pieces, are under the orders of General
Mendiburn, our late Charge dAhairs at the
Court OF st. James, and it is said that the Pre-
siden! himself, General Echenique, will COM
mand the whole army.
Very likely in month or two shall be able
to communicate to you the result of political
problem which in one Way or other is to pro-
duce great changes in the empire of the Incas.
From Bolivia we have late news, although
the Introduction is kept most strictly. General
Belzu was in Cochalamba, on his way to the
capital, (Sucre); but it was announced that he
was going to La Paz, a city eighty leagues from
cur place. The American minister-Hon. J.
A. Dana. the only foreign representative in that
country--was following him in his tour of In
specticn.
The British and French squadrons in the Pa
cifc have sailed for the northern Russian pos
sessions. and some fighting is expected there
with the Russian men-ofwar. They have two
fine frigates-the Diana, fifty two, aud Aurora,
forty besides host OF armed transports and
