persons OF property he may believe TO be iu
danger. Should Mr.. McLane, therefore,
make Of you, as senior commanding officer,
the request which bis instructions authorize
him to do. you will comply with il. State
ments having been made which lead to the
belief that arrangements are making, by

blockade will be recognized by the United
States You are therefore directed to EN-

OUR DIFFICULTIES WITH PERU.
The Washington correspondent Of the N.
Y. HsraH says:
n appears, BY the last intelligence from
Peru, that that government, instead Of man
Testing disposition to settle the pending
difficulties as the administration had right
TO expect they would, are throwing new Oh
stacles IN the way. II the intelligence from
there Is reliable, she absolutely ridicues and
laughs at the idea that the United States
should compel her TO pay the claims held by
our citizens. Her minister here, in writing
to his government, says that the President
Is in a minority IN both houses Of Congress,
and has no power to act in the premises.
Il is said the President will soon lay oil the
facts connected with this affair, together
with those Of other petty governments who
refuse 10 comply with our Just demands, be-
fore Congress, and thus place the response
bility where il belongs.

LATER FROH ChISA.-By the arrival Of
the bark Aurifera at San Francisco, So
days from HOugkOng. we have dates to
March 7th. The Daily Press says:
"The news from Canton is very alarm
ing, and Is Of such nature as may tend
10 complicate political matters at this eriti-
cal juncture. An organized body Of rebels,
or marauders, suddenly besieged the city Of
Yze Wooey, in this province, and at no
great distance from Canton. Neither their
standard nor their leader are known, bet Il
is probable they are a body from Keorm-
gri. We shall doubtless learu more about
them IN few days, when the people shall
have recovered from the fright which the
sudden appearance Of this force naturally
cansed.
Almost simultaneously with this incur
sion, there has been a rising Of the people
IN the neighborhood Of the White Cloud
Mountains, Immediately in the rear Of tue
city Of Canton. The cause Of the rising
We cannot learn. The movement is stated
20 be exclusively confined to the people Of
The district They do not seem to have any
political grievance, and are possibly impel-
led to revolt from the scarcity Of food. Il
does not appear that any connection exists
between them and the body that has cap
tnred Yze Wooey. They have killed few
Of the gentry, expelled the authorities, and
have raised the standard Of rebellion.'
