gives the latest intelligence from the south
coast. Peru derives no comfort from the
European news. 1t is considered in Lima
as fOregone conclusion that Spain intends
to hold OIL to what she has seized. approve
of Pinzon's conduct, and carry matters to
extremes. With this idea they consider
war certain, and are making preparations
accordingly.

be less than thirty-five, and probably not
more than twenty-five.

New YORK, Aug, l4.-The bark Luliote.
with the Captain, crew and passengers of
the ship Adriatic, and the crew of the pilot
boat VIM. Bell, has arrived. The passen-
gers lost all their baggage, and so large a
number OF persons were placed aboard the
Luliote that she sunk to her deck level with
water. Had storm arose, probably all
would have b9en lost. The Adriatic had
one hundred and sixty-three passengers
and full cargo of merchandise, the latter
mostly on British account.
In rounding to after the capture, the
Adriatic collided with the pirate, carrying
away the Tallahassee's main mast, and had
there been good wind at the time, would
undoubtedly have sunk her.
