From the Aspnwall Courier of the 10th, we extrac
the following account of since the depar
ture of the previous steamer:
The news from Bogota contains nothing of especia
importance with reference to the questions between
the United States and New Granada. There had
been no public demonstration of the new government
upon this any other except the Macintosh ques
tion. In fact neither the President the Cabinet
had initiated a single Rew measure. There has been
an effort made in Congress by the administration
party to modify article in the Constitution so as to
give the President more Executive power but this is
an old dodge.
The Macintosh affair has been entirely settled and
the British fleet withdrawn. The Cossack has gone
home the Intrepid to Jamaica the Indus to Ber,
muda, and the Orion and Basllsk have come to this
port and since left for Greytown.
The news from the South Pacific comprises but
little of general interest beside another move in the
Peruvian revolution, and scarcity OF coin in Chile
The Lima, by which the news was received, arrived
at Panama on the 9Th, with forty passengers, two
hundred and forty.three thousand and one hundred
dollars in specie, and two hundred packages of cargo
for the 1sthmus She brought news to April 18th
from Valparaiso, and to April 30th from Calao.
From Valparaiso we learn that coin had become
very scarce aud that silver in bars being dearer even
than the coin, no coming could be done without loss
, From Peru we have the following:
| On the 22d of April 300of Vivanco's troops landed
at Callao, and were repulsed by the Government
forces. Seven killed, one hundred wounded and one
hundred prisoners were reported after the action
Vivanco lost Gems. Lopea and Rodriguez killed. ant
Gems Machuca and Vigil, prisoners. And the
Government troops lost Gen. Plaza, killed The CLERK
of the United States Consul accidentally wounded
In Buenos Ayres the scarcity of money was also
very great. In the market the chief item of interest
was the considerable reduction Of flour in consequence
of the large supply and the heavy crop in prospect
| The only revolutionary movementn the Argentine
Confederation since previous advces was in the pro
vince Of San Juan-there governor had been forced
out, and another put in without interference imme
date or in preparation on the part of the general
!, gOyernment-the movement was of clerical origin.
On the night of the 18th Lieut.. Strain, of the
Darien expedition note, died at the Aspinwal House
in this city, and next day he was buried at Noun,
Hope Cemetery as we ,all it. The funeral was at
few from the Wabash, and some twenty-sX sailors
from the Cyane.
After announcing the arrival of Gen. Walker and
about thirty of his officers and men, the Courier says
The filibusers in Nicaragua are now to be of a
different class than for some time pastfor while tC
come at least. We learn from Greyt0wn through
correspondent at that place, under date of May 4th
the various parties OF Costa Ricans eoneses, Grana
dians, Cbamoristas etc openly discuss their respect
i've accounts from the seat of war, and the il
which the Costa Ricans are endeavoring to aggran
die to themselves all the benefits of Walkers eX
pulsiOn and the introduction Of British capital an(
British influence. The Nicamguans OF all parties art
loud in denuncations of the of the Costa Rcar
representatives, and say they almost convinced
t they will have soon to choose between the Cost
Ricans and the fbnsers as their masters and if
e they should prefer the latter.
The following particulars respecting the capitula
. ton of Gen. Walker will be read with profound an,
+ painful interest We almost regret that the blool
e that courses in our veins is American blood, whe
!, thinking OF the conduct of Capt. Davis.
