| Peru AND BoLIvIA.-A correspondent of
the Panama Star and Herald writing from
Lima under date of October 29th, furnishes
the following intelligence 1t will be seen
that the American Minister at Peru has asked
for and received his passports.
The war between Peru and Bolivia seems
inevitable. General Belzo, who, as every
body knows, is subsidized by Castillo, invaded
lately the Bolivian territory, but was beaten
and had to retire into Peru, not however,
without carrying several Bolivian officers
away, whom he took prisoners, and shot as
soon as he had reached Peruvian territory
President Linares, anxious to make reprisals
sent detachment of troops across the from
tier to the very place where the execution of
his officers had taken place. Several houses
we're burned and the Acade carried away as
prisoner. This is considered 10y this Govern.
ment as "casus beli," and declaration of
war will soon follow.
Congress has lately given a decision which
has astonished many people. BY majority
of one vote they declared against the re-elec
course, but persons acquainted with Peruvian
politics suspect that they will leave some
loop hole in the new Constitution through
which he may again enter
The American Minister has asked for and
received his passports he will depart about
the 18th OF next month. The Peruvian Gov
ernment proposed to leave the difficulty in
question to the abitration of third power,
which was not accepted by the United States
Government.

INGENIOUS MoDE OF TYING HORsEs. The
lceanders have most curious custom, and
most etfectual one, of preventing horses from
straying which, believe, is entirely peculiar
to this island. Two gentlemen for instance,
are riding together without attendants, and
wishing to allght for the purpose of visiting
some objects at distance from the road,
they lie the head of one horse to the tail of
another, and the head of this to the tail of
the former. In this state it is utterly impos-
sible that they can move on, either back ward
or forward, one pulling the one way and the
other the other and. therefore, if disposed to
move at all, it will be only in circle and
even then, there must be an agreement to
turn their heads the same way.

There is a pretty general agreement that the
