GUANo CHARTERS AND AMERICAN INTERESTS
POLITICAL ARRESrs-RUNoRs or REVOLUTION.
From Oar Special Correspondent
LIZA, Jan 81. 1867.
By private Letters received from Chilli We learn
that Gen Castillo and Col Balta. who were banished
from Peru to Chill by Col. Prado the Dictator. have
suddenly left the latter Republic for parts unknown.
III NaoioRal de Lima states that one Is IN the south
and the other in the north OF Peru and that they are
most probably engaged in plans TO overturn the Die
tatorshiS. However the statement Of the Ndcioaa
must bo received with some caution, as that paper
which was formerly the Government organ has Just
lost its official character owing to its editors not
being OF the same way of thinking the Cabinet on
the questions of the railroad privilege and the grant
Ing of two of the national steamers to Peruvian
Company. in opposition TO the English Company
that has so long enjoyed fire exclusive privilege
ON this coast TIE Government were the proprie-
tors of the office where the N0copal was pub
lshed. and have elected the editors from il and
we are crsditably informed that Mr. Geo. Petrie,
the Manager Of tho English Steam Company. has
purchased the present establishment, where tha
hdciOHai is published The paper is, therefore, now
ant-Dictatorial q matter of course, and eonse-
huently revolutionary in character. That there
sts great deal of dissatisfaction with the present.
Cabinet oithc Dictator doubt, and IL IL TO
DO regretted that Col Prado does not see the false
ling measures they have prepared and are trying 10
carry ont. I believe. aud so do two-thirds OF the
people. that Col PIadO is honest in his intentions,
and would. with an able Cabinet, govern Sthe
country 10 the entire satisfaction OF the ma
iOrity of the people. But. unfortunately. RadO s
a man OF lsttls education and less experience, and
has become a mere tool in the hands Of the Cabinet,
wh0 determined to hold their situations as long
ns possible. and think, by crying ont against the
honesty of everybody that they divert public at
tenton from their ownacts Should Col. PradO be
OverthrOwn he only blame his advisers for it and
his own lack of provision.
BY decree issued on the 18th inst. ships of all
tOns that may desire guanO charters only obtain
such charters in England where II is proposed to
tablish Government agency for that purpose, the
chief of which has also been named i'll tho person of
Admiral Vale Mestza late Peruvian Minister TO
Madrid. have not the least doubt but that IN con
sideratOn of that decree, which to set aside
completely the interests of American shipping our
Minister Gen. HOyey Will seriously call the
attention OF the Cabinet of Lima to its ungencrous
conduct IL is through that gentleman's actiy-
fty and influence that an American Company has
just obtained the right to lay tTam-Ioad between
Lima and CalIaO 10 spite OF all the difficulties that
railway, the object has been accomplished. and the
hero OF champion Hill can add another laurel
fention to the fact that the United States
treaty expired two years ago, by Of its imta
ton and mp TO TIE present time there haS been moth
ing done toward making new one although we en-
Joy the anomalous position of having legation with
out treaty; and, what makes the fact more Sgnif
cant, the United States Legation IS the senior Lega
he presided by the United States Minister as the
oldest foreign representatives Surely Mr.. Seward
can spare two or three hours some day to draw up
skeleton OF a treaty (for all treaties with South
America little ese) and place at once American
interests upon as good and solid basis as those of
other powers having treaties with the South Amerl-
can Republics.
The Government have commenced to make political
arrests, several Oh tho members of the late Govern
men have been arrested within the last fortyeight
hours and large number of political prisoners have
been banished within few days past. There IS
a rumOr afOat that Gen. Castillo has effected a loan
of 10000, and also purchased some six thousand
stand Of arms aud win place himself at the head of
the Constitutional party and Oyerturn the Dictator
ship. Should there he any fOund0jOnfOr The rumor the
days are counted. Castillo never fails
In his revolutions.
