to Iowa This leaves the county of Pembna
west Of Red River, and in it located all the
settlers of the Red River colony, and the town
OF Pembina. There may be other settlements,

THE CnlNCnA lsIANDs.--The suppression of
the instruction in Peru, which must, in all pro-
liability, succeed the disastrous repuse which
the revolutionary forces met in their attack on
Callao, will probably cause revival in the guano
trade and bring new charters into the market.
At the last dates there were sixty enc American
ships. of from 600 to l,7W tons each, loading
with guano, some under Vivian 30 aud some under
Castillo contracts. The American capital nves
ted at the Chinchas at that date was not less than
five million dollars.
