NEW YORK, July S4.-lne Steduoi
Ocean Queen has arrived from Aspin-
wall and brings important news from
Guayaquil, Ecuador The President,
Garcia Moreno, seized an English steam
er of the Pacific Steam Navigation Co,
loading at the Mole, drove the officers
and crew ashore at the point of the bay
ouet, placed troops, cannon and muni-
tions of war aboard, and steamed for the
mouth of the river, where the revolu-
tionists were lying at anchor in the YES
sells seized from the Government. He
ran into one of these steamers, cutting
her amidship to the waters edge, and
sink ing her After short engagement
she was surrendered, the bulk of the
people aboard, including the leader
Urlina, making their escape into the
woods. The prisoners were brought to
Guayaquil and twenty-seven OF them In
stantly shot. After this Morena started
for Tumbes, where he expected to cap
ture more victims If so they share
similar fate after his return to Guaya-
quill.
The President returned the steamer to
the Captain, who received her under pro-
test and got at the same time t2O,OOO tor
the three days services of the vessel
The seizure is still an open question, hav-
ing been referred to the manager of the
Company at Callao. The President holds
that under some old law spoken of by
Waffle he had right to take the vessel,
and the British Counsel Il. ..eared to
agree with him.
The United States double-ender gun
boat Sinoraner arrived at Panama with
news from Callao to the 9th. The rebel
lion in Peruappears to gain ground. On
the 5Sth bloody engagement occurred
six miles from Lima, between 12,0OU reb-
els and 5000 Government troops, in
which the latter were successful Ill TAX
| ing prisoner one hundred men and twen-
ty five officers, besides killed. A few
days previously a mutiny broke out
aboard the flag ship Amizones, blockad-
| ing Ariea. The mutineers gained posses
sion of the ship. Under direction of the
officer of the deck the Admiral General
Pnaizo was shot in the cabin and after
ward hanged from yard arm.
The mutineers afterwards decoyed the
| CAPTAIN of the America on board aud
captured his vessel. This is the shi p re.
Gently sent out from England. They
also captured the Tumbes, leaving the
Government with only two vessels of
real service.
| Chill is still in trouble with Spain.-
Business at Valparaiso was unusually
quiet. Copper is improving. Nitrate is
firm and advancing.
From Central America we hear of the
capture of ex-President Barrier, of Saliva
dor, who left Panama recentlyin a small
vessel, expecting to find the party sue
cessful who revOlted in his favor in Sal
vador. On reaching Fousria, however,
he found his party beaten and dispersed
at La Union, and endeavorcd to return,
but stroke of lightning happened to
shiver the masts of his vessel. He was
obliged to run into Realigo, where the
vessel was confiscated and all aboard
made prisoners Barrier will probably
be handed over to the SalvadOrian gov.
ernment and summarily shot.
The 4th of July was becomingly Gel
eb1ated in Panama and Aspinwall.
A slight shock of an earthquake was
felt at Panama on the 18th, doing ITO
harm
The British ship Invercould was
wrecked in May. 1864, on desert island,
