The Panama Star and Herald Of the Sd inst has
advlces from Valparaiso to August 81; CaIdera,
Sept. 8; Cobija, Sept. /; Callao, Sept 10; Paita,
Sept. l6. We extract the following intelligence
=, OHiLf-Events have taken place which show that
the revolutionary spirit Is not yet quencbed in the
republic. An unsuccessful attempt had been made
az Santiago to induce the soldiers to mutipy revolt
had been discovered in Constitution, an insurreeton
OF prisoners in one of the Southern provinces had
taRen place, and an attempt was made to seize the
wagons OF the Copiapo Railroad at Pabellon Ia
view o. this unsettled state Of affairs the President
asked from congress an extension to the 1st of Nov
em1er ls6o, OF the extraordinary powers be holds,
and after some discussion it was granted
The representatives Of Austria, Sardinia, Spain.
United States, France and England have presented
several claims in favor Of citizens Of their respective
countries, who demand indemnifcation for the losses
sustained in consequence Of the disorders commtted
oy the Government troops during the late revolution
Government has commissioned one of the Judges of
the Supreme Court to investigate the proofs on which
these claims rest and, this having been done already
Government prepares to give this delicate point due
consideration.
Besides the settlement of the claims on the brig
Macedonian and whaler Franklin, several other i'm
portant questions have been debated between Govern
ment and the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenpotentiary of the United States. One of them
arises from the protection afforded by the American
Consul in Valparaiso to several political offenders,
and the subsequent political events which terminated
the Consuls patent. The facts having been submit
ted to the consideration of the American Minister
the replacement Of the American Consul in his post
no longer insisted on and the demand is limited to
and bis family through the mistake undergone by
the officer who entered the Consus house on the I'd
| Of March.
Another Of the questions debated between Govern
ment and the United States Legation is that of the
American brig Townsend Jones' This vessel anchored
| in Valparaiso in April of 1858, bringing on board
| cargo Of arms and warke stores. The political agi-
taton which at that time began to stir up the country
led to the authorities exercising certain degree Of
vigilance upon this vessel, as it was very likely that
the agltators would try to avail themselves Of the
articles she had on board in order to promote their
| revolutionary ends. The authorities received several
warnings on this head and were therefore obliged to
| take measures to guard agant any such attempts
| These events were very much disfgured on being
/ transmitted to the American Minister who has de.
manded ample indemniication for the Captain. Gov-
ernment has limited itself to the rectication of the
| facts.
In the first case justice is unieniably on the Gov
ernments side, and the most respectable portion Of
the American citizens resident in Valparaiso publicly
disapproved the Consns conduct, declaring that he
had exceeded his attributons since, according to
international law, simple consular agent does not
enjoy any such immunities. Besides which, the Gov.
ernment in its conduct has only followed the doc.
trines observed by the United States and sanctioned
| by them in different treaties with other powers
In the second case all measures were carefully cal
culated not to occasion any loss or damage to
the cargo, in any way offend the American nation
There s therefore, every reason to expect that both
questions will be satisfactorily settled.
PERU.-Along the South Coast continuance oil
heavy Northers had been experienced. The mole al
Islay had been much damaged, and at africa many
boats and small coasters had been wrecked
letter dated Callao, Sept. IL, in the Panama
Star, says:
Everything appears to be quiet in regard to politi-
cal affairs The only thing of consequence that has
transpired has been the appointment of Sr. Miguel
Carpio Minister of Foreign Affairs which will give
general satisfaction to the diplomatic corps
1t is now decided upon that Gen. Castillo proceeds
on the 18th inst. to the North with his troops Two
transports are fitting out, and the army he carries
with him will be well provided with all things neces-
sary for long campaign.

fected the American vessels in this port and at the
Chinchas. The ship John Sydney (Which vessel was
bored here at night and the next morning four feet
of water was found in her hod) met with trouble at
the islands, and one of her crew was accidently (?)
shot dead on the quarter deck. The ship Rising Sun
while loading guano at the islands, was the scene of
| a most cold dblooded murder. The second mate told
one of the men to hurry along, an alteration en-.
sued and the second mate was stabbed until he died
the first officer was also wounded and lies in most
precarious situation. The ship Queen Of the Seas
had a row on board among the crew, and twelve
men were cut with knifes, though none of them
fatally.
EcUADoR.-All the Peruvian blockading squadron
was in front of Guayaqui, except the Guisse A
nado had been elected Governor of the city. Con.
