THE Sourm AMERICAN TRouBLEs.-So far
as is known, Spain has not yet renewed her
attacks upon Chill, but Valparaiso is being
strongly fortified, and is defended by guns
bought in this country. Over one hundred
and fifty heavy cannon will soon be mounted
in batteries around Valparaiso harbor. From
the Plata river the news indicates that the
Paraguayans gained the victory in the great
battle fought there on the 10th, 18th and Sth
of July, and the Allies, thoroughly disheart
encd, have done nothing since, excepting to
remove the commanders of both their army
and navy for incompetency. 1t cannot bt
denied that since the disclosure of the harsh
provisions of the secret treaty between tn,
Allies the general sympathy is with tn,
Paraguayans in this struggle. Another trou
BILE is brewing in Central America, the STATE
of Panama having taken exception to vari
Gus acts of the Colombian Government ant

A WErT-KSowN TEorTISG TRAINER KILLED
on CESrREvrLLE COURSE, L. 1.-The New
York Times says: Yesterday afternoon,
abont three o'clock, Mr.. Robert Walker, the
well-known trotting trainer and driver, who
keeps the hotel Immediately adjoining the
Centreville Course, l.. l., proceeded to that
track to exercise one of the horses he was
training. Shortly afterward his family were
alarmed at seeing the horse and sulky gal
lop back to the stable without driver, and
on proceeding to the Course only couple
of Hundred yards distant, they were Mortified
to discover his dead body laid on the track
with pistol or rifle ball through his brains.
No person was seen on the course or in the
neighborhood, and the perpetrator and the
motive which led to the catastrophe cannot
be surinised Mr.. Walker removed from
Newark to Centrevillo about three years
ago, and by his steady, industrious, and
straightforward honorable conduct, had
gained the respect and esteem of every one
and especially of the patrons of the trotting,
turf who admire him for his incompatible
principles OF character.

The French DIPLOMATIC CIRCuLAR.-The
most important intelligence received by the
last mail from Europe is the news Of the
publication of the French diplomatic circu.
lar to the various Enjoys, Ministers, and
other agents of that country abroad. 1t is
said to have been written by Napoleon HIM
sell, and refers to the present condition of
Europe. 1t congratulates the world that
peace is restored, and that hereafter affairs
are to be conducted upon the same princ-
pies that hold sway in France. Aggrandized
Prussia, it says, seeks the independence Of
Germany, and France will not oppose or re-
greet its accomplishment. Germany and
Italy. it says, have initiated and drawn
nearer to French ideas. The September con-
vention, securing the Pontifcal interests, is
to be Loyalty carried out France will send
naval forces to secure the freedom of the
Mediterranean and Baltic seas. Austria, it
also states, now leans on France, and ma
tons that were her enemies in the past now
enter upon q new existence, to be guided by
the same principles as herself. The circular
says the Emperor was right in accepting the
part Of mediator, and not plunging Europe
! into longer war, and appears to take for
granted the not very well established fact
that Napoleon really controlled matters in
the late contest 1t hints, however, that the
Emperor, in spite of his self-complacent con
CALCULATIONS, is actively preparing for home
defence and the perfection of the military
organization of France, The foreign intelli
gence announces that the circular meets
with general approval; that it is the impress
sion that Napoleon harbors no thoughts Of
annexation with regard to Belgium or Swift
