''No change has as yet taken place in the position
Of affairs Of Arequpa Castillo has joined San Roman
before that city with eight ten cannons and about
400 men. To Castillas demand for more troops the
Convention returned decided negative. Business,
OF course, is very dull"
The following letter from our Callao correspondent,
Of Suy &c gives the principal news from that quarter:
1.-The past fortnight has been devoid OF interest and
several serious disturbances on board of American
ships. The mate Of the american ship Morning Star
was stabbed by of the while getting the ship
under weigh, the rest Of the crew drawing pistols,
knives &c. The captain half-masted his flag, when
two armed boats from III. b. MS frgate Monarch
went to his assistance and put the dsaected in IRONS
The mates wound is not dangerous. The ship went to
sea the following day. Another mutiny occurred on
board the Oliver Jordan. The crew drew pistols and
knives on the mates. The Monarch again sent armed
boats, and at the captains request put seven OF the
ripgleaders in irons. -
arrived with her crew in state of mutiuy; they had
had possession of the ship for two weeks committing
all kinds of outr8ges aud using abusive language 10
two weeks he had to subss upon preserved meats and
anything else that he could find in the cabin the cook
and steward having refused to cook any yi3ua!s for
him. Immediately upfn hs arrival here he Obtained
ASSISTANCE and had all the put in the castle, but
as there no means Of Furnishing them here sup
pose that in few days they will be liberated. The
absence of an American man.ofwar at this ports
greatly felt and the shipping interest suffers greatly
is visited by such amount of American tunnage.
find recorded as having arrived here from the LIST OF
July Sc to July 81 NO less than 300 American ships,
whose aggregate tunnage amounts to 80 during
which time we saw for a few days, the St. Marys,
for a few weeks the John Adams. Caao station Is
not at all liked by the officers Of our Navy; they pre-
fer that of Valparaiso and consequently our ships are
never to be found when they are wanted; the right
ships are always in the wrong places.
"For some time past ships loading guano at the
Chincba Islands have beer dispatched from there
diIect-hat is TO say, without coming back TO Calao
for their final clearance per their charter parties;
but as il has been found TO be productive Of evil
than good the Government has Cancelled the order,
and al ships are now compelled to return to Caliso
and be regularly cleared by the Custom House here.
The reasons assigned for this follows: Ships are
only allowed to load third than their regis
tered tunnage unless by special permit and the ships
that have sailed from the island have exceeded this
smount, and the result is that many ports between
Callao on this side and Rio on the other have guanO
ships dischargDg part of their cargo SO as to allow
them TO proceed with the rest This of course, is
great expense to the Government; but it is ended
by the passage of this act which takes effect from the
Let of July"
