The ?. s. n. Co.'s steamer Bolivia, Captain Hill,

from Callao to the 18th inst. She brings specie Of

had succeeded in finally settling the affair of the
American ship Franklin, now some thirty years in
dispute. We learn that Capt. Mcclure takes home
the money in payment of the claim. There is a
fair prospect of the other questions pending be-
tween the United States and Chile Governments
being speedily settled.
BoLivA.--From this Republic we learn that Cen
era Echenique continues recruiting an army for
the purpose of invading Peru. Beyond this the
country is quiet, but it is expected that Castillo
will convey his troops there after the Ecuador
troubles are over, for the purpose of orestalling
Echeniqne in his designs.
FROM PERu.-The accounts are by no means of
favorable character, and there is every prospect
OF the country being soon involved both in a for.
eign and civil war.
EcuADoR.-The troubles between this State and
Peru, appear to be at length drawing to a crisis.
On the 18th, Gen. Castillo sailed from Paita for
Guayaqu with nearly 10000 men, and fourteen
vessels of war, with the intention Of invading the
country. Our next advices will probably bring in
telligence of an engagement between the two
armies.
Ex-President Robes, who comes to Panama on
the Bolivia, attempted to land at Pata but was
prevented. We learn that the Peruvian Govern
ment sends spy to accom- any him in his travels
and watch his movements

DR.. Cumming, whose last publication, :. The
Great Trbnation, is at present creating an excite
mcnt in the literary world, is thus described in a
late English review:
His sngularly handsome person, his brilliant
flow of poetic thoughts, his striking talents and his
burning ZEAL combine to make him one of the
most interesting speakers of the day. Mr.. Cum
ming is very small in person, not exceeding five
feet four or five inches in hight, with slender and
graceful figure. His face is of the most beau
tiful have seen. for he is altogether too di-
minutve to be called strictly handsome. His hair
is of jet black, with soft, waving curl upon it !;
his complexion resembles alabaster, with deep
damask color; his forehead is high and finely
formed, and his eyes are concealed by Invisible
spectacles. His nose is aquiline, but not very
large; and the lower part of his face is perfect
that of Greek statue. with the addition of beau
tiful teeth Altogether he is what his countrymen
call very bonnie chiel," and he would really be
Incompatible were he only magniied. His manner
is very unassuming; he never puts himself for
ward, but remains behind the other speakers.
While silent he has all the meekness of a tracte
child but when he speaks he displays all the vigor
and energy of young eagle.

THE INDIAN WAR NoRTH-Gen. Hibbe, Adjutant-
General, is now prosecuting war of eXtermna-
ton against the Indians inhabiting the northern
counties He has under his command about one
hundred volunteers The style of warfare adopted
towards the degraded Indians is, in the first place,
most inhuman, and next a disgrace to both the
State and nation. They are slaughtered in scores
while in a helpless state, and determination is the
avowed policy Of what is called a campaign. A
correspondent one Of the volunteers, writing from
Pitt river, November !, says: The capturing of
400 prisoners and the destruction of eighty formd
able warriors, by company of men not exceeding
ninety, in the short space of seventy five days. is
worthy not only of repetition, but Of much com
mendation. Nor is this all that they have accom-
plished. They have divided the indians-band
from band-pursuing each with rapidty and deter
mination, not allowing them time to gather acorns
nor seeds sufficient for winter consumption, de-
spoiled them of their fishing grounds, the source
from which they derive their staple nourshment,
and so henmed them in, that when these noun
tains become enwrapt in their SNOWY nantes, y
and these valleys assume their hoary costume, the
Indian must succumb at the advancing footstep of
the white man, or fall beneath his greater facility
and power. [Alta California.
