For once everything is very quiet in Peru
General Castillo is at Payta with an army Of about
1000 men, When he left Lima his professed purpose
was to invade the Ecuador; but it is generally be-
lieved that he to bring up on Boiy!a--if So
trust he will find his in the Boivans as there is
but little doubt they are the better soldiers.
Castillo has accomplished in Ecuador all he cared
to- have but little doubt that the present distracted
state of that republic has been brought about by secret
agents Of his, and remains be seen what advantage
Peru is to derive from all this.
You will see by the Lima papers that Don Ramon Inis
Irarrazaba the Gillian Envoy was shot by a party of
armed burglars at Chorrlos, ON the 10th inst, but
1t appears that Mr. Irarrazabal sent his servant TO
Lima on the 18th TO take 10 Chorros bag Containing
upwards OF thousand ounces in gold In the
night Mr.. ]. thought he heard noise at the door
OF his rancho. He got up and lighted can
die, when he was surprised by the entrance Of
three armed men, two of whom were masked. They
demanded his keys. He complied, but at the same mo-
men he seized his pistols anu discharged them at the as
sassins without effect whereupon two OF ,he robbers
1red at him. one OF the balls entering his SIDE about two
inches above the heart; tine other wounaing him
in the leg, Finding him thus disabled, the assassns
escaped without pursuit
The Peruvians wish to have it believed that il was a
suicide, as Mr. lrarrazaoal was a large defauter to
his government for money collected from claims against
this government and they would us believe that no
committed suicide to avoid the exposition OF the matter.
but this is not generally believed by rejecting persons
The truth is Peru is lamentaby demoralzed aud it is
fast becoming unsafe for anybody This the second
assassination Of diplomatic agent within years. The
increase Of assassnatons robberes crimes of every
descriptions something fearful in Peru, and the worst Of
all is, the authorities take little pains bring the
offenders TO justice.
