We have had military movement here recently of an
alarming but bloodless character On Sunday the 10Th
inst, officer, followed by a small band OF soldiers,
dashed through the main OF the CITY, shouting
| the top Of their voices 'Vctory victoryn
In the belief that Canseco at hand terrible
| excitement prevailed in town Thousands gathered in
front OF the Presidential mansion anxious to learn the
particulars Of the victory. AT last after three hours
shouting and gaping at the closed windows Of his Excel
lency the following communication vouchsafed by
/ the Secretary of War
"a battle has taken place this day Chuckacayo
leagues distant from Lima and the always vico-
troops OF the legitimate government have utterly
leaders, Our brave soldiers at this moment in full
pursuit OF the cowardy enemy. and before tomorrow S
rises the army Of the arch traitor Canseco will have
| ceased 10 exist, save in memory
/ The glorious received silently and without
single cheer Unfortunately, however, for General
Pezet at least the truth leaked out and the great
tory at Chncklacayo proved nothing but grave military
| bunder Two regiments of infantry belonging to the
legitims army accidentally met in gulch, and in their
patriotic zeal each believed the other be the enemy
the consequence OF which was that for three four
milton being exhausted, some Of the most daring climbed
the top Of the adjoining hocks and thus discovered
panied by sundry draughts Of agudrdee and then the
two regiments marched peaceably 70 their respective
headquarters This is true and faithful history OF the
| great feat of arms at Chucklacayo
While General Pezet chuckng over the splendid
| achievement OF his men Canseco was not idle. He
quietly embarked his army and commssary stores at
Cerro Azul and landed them safe and at Chlca
small port distant twelve leagues from this capital and five
leagues south OF Gen. Pezets headquarters 1t strange
ton reached this city only by the English mail steamer

that is the only telegraph line Peru and but nine
hours later confirmed by the arrival of Peruano
rumor ndlsriously circulated that General Pezet,
the legitimate President would instantly depart in order
| to take command OF the army in Jerson and on
| the 26th the President issued proclamation
| TO the inhabitants Of Lima, informing his loyal
fellow citizens that he was compelled by the inter.
| ess Of the public veal leave them perhaps for
few hours, it might be Tor days in order to
punish the daring traitors who sought to destroy the
peace of this happy republic and he trusted to
their loyalty for the maintenance Of law and order
| ing his absence On the same day the President
reported have left Lima for the field o. action but am
credby informed that sober second thoughts prevailed
and that his Bxceency remained at his splendid summer
quarters Of the army; so that no stray rebel ball
reach him. No reliable information has yet been
received from the seat OF war, although all KINDS of
rumors are in circulation and IL is asserted that
several regiments have passed over 70 General Canseco
A few hours may decide if not the fate of the repub
lie perhaps that Of the patriotic asprants for The dis
bursemeu of the guano funds Canseco and other
leaders o. the revolution are undoubtedly true patriots at
heart Notwithstanding that they making against
the constitutional government and are regarded by many
