SOUTH AMERICAN AFFAIRS.

The revolutionary movements by which
Chilli has been for some time past agitated,
and which have had very unfayorable effect
upon its prosperity seem at length to have
been completely put down. Copiapo, which
has fallen into the hands of the revOlutionists
has been recovered by the government troops
and the last of the insurgents, driven across
the Andes, had retired into San Juan, one OF
the States of the Argentine Confederacy,
where they had surrendered to the authorities
of that State. The state of seige underw which
the entire republic had been placed, termina-
ted on the LIST of June, but the President was
to retain his extraordinary powers to the end
of the year. A number of political prisoners
had been tried, and sentenced to DEATH but
their sentences had been committed to I'M
prsonment or Punishment. II was hoped
that this lenient policy might operate to as
suage the bitterness of feeling to which the
civil war had given rise. We hear nothing
further of the case of our Consul, deprived
of his exquatur for alleged completely with
the revoutionists, nor of the seizure Of the
American vessel laden with arms.
The long-threatened war to compel the State
of Buenos Ayres to resume its place as menu
Der of the Argentine Confederation is still i'm
pending. It is alleged that body of troops
the quota of the State of Entire Rios, had ar
rived at Rosario, which is to be the rendez-
vous of the invading forces. Urquiza, the
President of the Argentine Republic, whose
name and person have been made familiar to
our readers by the aid which he afforded the
"illustrious Bowlin,h in settling matters
with Lopez-has this matter of the reannex-
alton of Buenos Ayres very much at heart,
and relies upon the support and assistance
of Brazil Uruguay and Paraguay. His Presi-
dental term, however is about to expire, and
a constitutional provision prevents him from
being reelected. Constitutions, however, do
not go for much in South America, and pro-
iect seems to be on foot for prolonging Urqu-
iza's term of office until the controversy with
Buenos Ayres is arranged.
The war between Peru and Ecuador and the
blockade by the Peruvian fleet, are still kept
up, both these unlucky republicans being
troubled at the same time with internal insur-
rections. The instruction in Ecquador had
assumed formidable aspect. OF the troops
sent against the insurgents, part had gone
over to their side and in an engagement that
followed they had repulsed the the govern
ment troops with loss. The revolution in
Peru also seems a pretty formidable affair,
though President Castillo, in his address to
the Peruvian Congress, affects to make light
OF it.
The Republic of New Granada is again quiet
the revolution lately attempted in the State of
Santander having been completely put down.
A recent official statement makes the total
population of the Republic 2, 243, SAT. ofthis
number the State OF Panama includes 13e.l0s.
Venzuela, at the last accounts had made
no progress in suppressing the insurcections
with which both the Eastern and Western ex-
tremities Of that Republic were afflicted. On
the contrary, the Central Government seemed
to be losing its energies and likely to fall into
confusion.-N. Y. Tribune. e.
