business; the Indians seem to be on the alert, and not
uninformed Of our Intentions. They have held . council
Of war for discussing grievances and measures.
The council was held in Quempulemo, meaning Round
Hill. The chiefs Of the Aracanos, Peguenches, and Hui
hches were present. Among the magnates q that grand
meeting Of savage p~oteDtates were, Maguil, Cullucoy,

force, and hence he convekcd, summoned and command
ed them all to be in readiness when he should call them;
that for the present 1t would be necessary to leave the
Spaniards until the harvest, and then, when they should
have gathered their crops, they must be notified to leave
the territory. Thus, ne thought, amicable relations
would be maintained, and the government would have
no ground Of complaint.
Maguil carried everything before him by his eloquence.
He declared that the Chilean government intended TO
destroy al the Indians and take their lands-that they
must show the Spaniards that the Indians Of to-day are

and that all must unite to purge the land or them.
The press and mercantile community Of Valparaiso
complain much Of the failure OF many of their letters
and papers, both from the United States and Europe, BY
the previous steamer.
In other matters it remains only to say that agrcul-
ture has not changed its prospect at all within the fort
night. The prices Of wheat and -four rule verv low in
spite OF all the ~exertions of spectators. As to mining,
q month has passed since we had news Of q rich silver
discovery; but its Importance may be doubted, in view
Of the silence which the Copiapo Journals observe on the
subject.
The estimate brought forward for the year coming,
and sanctioned by the Council Of State, amounts to

Of gold from Jan. LIST TO Oct. 81, 1854, exhibits q decline
Of more than one half on the amount exported during
the eorrssponSiDg. IP period ses Of last year, the asacit being
that the crops would fell, ON account Of drought, and
Chile and California grain and -four were being imported
to Q considerable extent. The price Of oil having risen.
and sailors wages having fallen, the Sydney papers state
that whalers, whichihave been lying At Port jackson foe
years past, are now being fitted for sea.
We learn from the Empire that the action Of the hons
government, respecting the colonial affairs, especially In
the matter Of the new constitution bill, had caused great
dissatisfaction at Sydney, and thAt at . large pubuc
meeting strong resolutions had been passed to be pro.
rented to the Queen. The colonial legislature have
passed q series OF resolutions to be submitted "for tho

the expediency Of absolute psrdons to such (of which
here are very many in the colonies) - now hold those

upon us: win this body Of men be any benefit to our
community With such q Heterogeneous mass ss our
population is composed o., we should not be astonished
to hear Of some disorder and breach Of the peace occur

cause some rather unpleasant sensations among the ma
