There in now fair prospect mat inc ci'n VIII
in Venezuela, which threatened at one time to be-
come chronic, will at length be brought to an end.
The point of contest has been between those IN
favor of strong central government and those
who under the pretense Of State rights wished 10
split up the country into number OF petty, local
jurisdictions. The Ccntralsts who include the most
intelligent and wealthy part of the population, have
lately elected and inaugurated a new President,
Don Manuel Fovor, from whose energy and
ability much is hoped. The State Rights leaders,
or rebels as the other party call them, though they
have received some severe shocks still keep the
field in the eastern provinces But strong hopes
are entertained of their speedy subsection, and OF
the revival of the industry and prosperity OF the
country. which have received very severe shock
from the civil war. Gen. Paez has been named by
the new President as Secretary of War and the
Nayy but after his late experience IN Venezuela nc
will hardly return there second time at least not
until the new Administration shall have given
some proof of its ability to maintain peace and
order.
The republic of New-Grenada still continues III
a very unsettled condition. The same question
between centralism and state rights is the cause OF
the trouble there; at least that is tho pretense
always at band for movements too often prompted
by personal iealousies and antipathes on the part
of the leading men. President Ispina has lately
been accused before Congress, by Gen. Mosquera,
Governor of the State of Cauca, Of having invaded
the rights of the States and subverted the cOnsti-
M 10 in
charges, and counter charges have been brought
against Mosquera of characterization and rebellion.
Whereupon, Mosquera threatens to secede from tho
union and TO carry the State of Cauca with him.
Since the withdrawal of the Peruvian army from
Ecuador no progress has been made in the settle

Quito, and Franco at Guayaquil. Moreno proposed
to his rival that they should both leave the cOun.
try to give the people fair chance to elect a
President, but Franco declined the proposition. 1t
is thought that Gusyaqui will put itself under the
protection of Peru, and will finally become Peru
Wan province.
In Peru itself there are signs of hostility to the
government of Urquiza, but no open movement
against him has yet been attempted. Considera-
bic progress is making in the settlement of the
elevated country on the eastern slopes of the An
des, and among the settlers are Germans and
other foreigners. The climate here is such as to
allow ef white labor, though warm enough
to admit Of the culture of the sugar caue
There was danger of rupture between Peru
Bolivia, and great efforts were making to strengthens
the Bolivian army. This, however, may be said
TO be the chronic condition Of things between these
two States. r...
Chill seems at last to be perfectly quiet, and
attention il now turned to public improvements
and material interests. The establishment of q
line of steamers between Valparaiso and England,
via Cape Horn, is under discussion, and the pro-
ject of railroad to cross the Andes, and to form
n communication beteen Chill and BuenOs Ayres
has been revived. In the Province of CopiapO, a
discovery has been made of nickel in abundant
veins, and easy to work.
