PANAMA, August IL. - The United States
steamer Wdteree, Commander Pauldinp reached
this port on the llth inst She lett Callao,
Peru, on the I'd OF August, bringing six days,
later news.
ELECTION OF PRESIDENT OF PERU ORDERED.
The notable fact since my last dispatches,
excepting the grand celebration OF independence
Day, has been the publication of a cali to the
people tor the election of President or the re-
public and representatives to the constituent
Congress. The representatives thus elected are
to meet in informal session on January 81, 1867
and the Congress is to be solemnly opened for
deliberations on the 18th of February following
The maximum duration of the session is to be
one hundred days, not liable to prorogation.
THE TUCKERMoNTERo QUARREL IN PERU.
The Tucker-Montero muddle continued to bear
an unfavorable aspect. Tucker had issued va
ri0us orders to the different ommanders in the
navy, which Montero countermanded, instruct
ing the captains of those ships under his direct
command atValparaiso TO disregard the authority
OF what he calls the North American adven-
turer" From the tenor of our last adyices
from the South Pacific, we were led to inter that
Montero had possession of the Hudsc0r and In
dependenotd. Such is not the case. These two
powerful iron-clads, which have won the admi-
ration OF the world, are at Callao, and conse-
quently are under the command of Admiral
Tucker; and Montero will be obliged 70 succumb
to The legitimate authority OF his Government
Questionable as the policy may be of apooint-
ing a man of fuckers antecedents to the
supreme command of the allied squadron. il is
10 be devoutly hoped that Prado may be able
to put quietus to The impure and ungenerous
aspirations OF this Montero. He is a man of
crafty and malignant spirit, and so long as he
is allowed command in the Peruvian navy
the position of any administration will b, wholIy
insecure. Through dssension and strifes he
was elevated to his present posltion-through
diSsension and strife ne would further gratify
his taste for personal advancement Prado
taking this view of the case, has acted with
prompt decision. His efforts to MAINTAIN the
supremacy of the Government and, at the same
time, to preserve peace between the factions.
must be heartily commended by disnterested
parties. Montero and his conapGdres have been
cashlered, and peace may yet reign in fuckers
command.
