do not see, and cannot find any one to tell
me, when this famous revolution in Peru is going
to end. Yesterday news came into Lima that
the Government party, headed by General Des-
tau, was defeated by the Elias and Castillo
party, headed by Gen. San Roman, the very
man" that was sent out Of the country two
years ago for trying to revolutionize the coun-
try, and at that time was President of the
Senate.
The Castillo party is within twenty leagues
of Lima; though it is the general report here,
that every town the insurgents leave turns
against them. The Government are actively at
work keeping their forces on move up and
down the coast, which accounts for the above
fact. they occupy all the places the insurgents
leave, which, of course, makes the inhabitants
turn to their old standard
The last thing the Government has done is
to purchase the American ship Ozark, COM
manded by Capt. Peterson, to send some sixty
revolutionists out of the country. They are not
known as yet, as they were all picked up last
night in Lima, which will prove that the Gov
eminent intends to get rid Of all outsiders; and
| understand the list includes the heads of some
of the wealthiest families in Lima.
Capt. Peterson is to have the ship and 800
tons Of guano for his services, after landing the
prisoners at Madras, the worst place that could
be picked out for man to exc out his existence,
though this is not so bad as the Hector affair,
but hard enough every one knows, as more
sickly hole could not be found.
The little steamer Ohio, Capt. Wright, con-
| tinues to make her semi-weekly trip to Chincha
islands and back, making very fair business
of it; which will no doubt increase, if report
goes right, as the Captain is liked very much
| here. This being the first attempt to run an
American steamer on this coast, really hope
| that it may succeed.
A cargo of Cinnamon arrived last week in
rather bad condition, being in quarantine up
| to this time, having the plague on board, which
has swept off great many. The owners OF the
assorted cargo, l notice, look rather long in the
| face at their anticipated speculation.
| All kinds Of goods are unreasonably high,
owing to the non arrival of some of the trading
vessels, which are supposed to have been taken
| off the line for other purposes
| The Peruvian war steamer Ucayale takes the
English mail to Panama, and sails to-day, July
4 18th, at two o'clock. A. B. G.
P. S. The Ucayale leaves here with three
commanders for the three men of war ordered
| to be constructed for the Peruvian service Sal
| zeda, the man sent by this Government, is said
/ to be in favor of Elias through letter to San
\ ia Cruz, the Patriot of Chill. If any one can
| get news to Salzeda, he will make splendid
| thing of it, for he is about ready to sail from
| England, and know that the mail is quicker
| by the way of the United States.
A BLOODY MINDED CARD-We find the follow
ing card in the St Louis Republican Of the 18th
| inst, in relation to the recent disturbances in
| that city. 1t shows that some body was in
| earnest:
"We have heard it rumored, though like most
/ of the rumors flying about, it was impossible to
trace it to its source that on the two last even
| ings the sContinentials' and National Guards
| were furnished with blank cartridges, and for
hidden by the Mayor to use any other.
"We wish to say that this rumor is unquali-
fedly false Our blankest cartridges contained
charge of powder and single bullet; all
others contained bullet and buckshot. At no
| time were the guns of the First Regiment loaded
with blank cartridges, nor did the Mayor give
us any directions on the subject, except load
| with ball, and when we did fire to take good
aim"
