PARTICULARS or THE CALLAo FIGHT.
New YORK, May 3I.-A Panama paper
furnishes a detailed account of the bonn
bardment OF Callao. It appears that after
the failure of Nunez to make any serious
impression upon the fcrts, he dir cted his
FIRE upon the city of Callao, but the valuable
articles had been removed before the en-
gagement, and although three thousand
shot and shell were thrown into the city,
the injury inflicted was trihing. After the
bombardment Admiral Nunez addressed
singular letter to the British Charge d'Af-
fairs in which he says; Having chastised
Peru for the unjust provocation given by
her Government by the bombardment Of
Callao. and the attack on her Notifications,
Of whose many and heavy guns only three
were replying to the fire of this squadron
when it retired to its anchorage, the un-
dersigned has the honor to announce that
from this date the blockade of CallaO is
raised, and the squadron leaves the waters
of Peru, at the same time assuring him that
if the Government of Peru should molest or
permit injuries to be done to Spanish sub
jects, residents in Peru, the naval forces Of
Her Catholic Majesty will return to these
waters 10 revenge the same. The feet had
sailed from before Csllao and business was
being resumed
