NEW YORK, June 1.-The morning papers
have the following dispatches from Wash
ington:
Large numbers Of merchants and business

Gen. Scott, ordered by the Commonwealth
Of Virginia, in 857 which they refused to

NEw YORK, June I've have some furth-
er interesting items relative to the defeat Of
the Spanish fleet at CallaO, and the present
position of the two opposing forces. The
Government Of Gen. Prado is more popular
than ever since the fight. The Spanish
vessels had been lying at San Lorenzo
Island, out Of reach of the Peruvian bat
teries, and somewhat annoyed by Peruvian
torpedoes. No damage had occurred to
them from that source, but they were under
necessity of leaving their anchorage and
putting TO sea every night. On the Ilth
they left CallaO and moved southwark.
The United States steamer Wateree picked |
up a launch about the 9TH ult. loaded with
coal, which the officers were on the point of
making fuel Of, when, by fortunate occur
renee, one Of the blocks of coal broke open
and a loaded six pound shell was discovered
inside. % investigation the load Of coal
was found to be interspersed with such dan
gerOus materials. It was doubtless intend
ed by the PeruYians for the use of the Span
ish vessels.

lao took place at Lima on the 18th. Gen.
Prado has ordered all Spanish subjects to
leave the Republic, under penalty of i'm
prisonment for lite.
