hubbub, az it Is clearly stated in the constitution
that any Chilean citizen, not under any penal
sentence may absent himself at will from the re-
public.
From Araucania we receive the intelligence that
against the rebel Indians in the coming spring SO
iar the efforts OF the national troops have been fruit
less IN the endeavor TO bring these savages to some
thing like order or civilization. The forces 10 DE
sent will occupy Jorge portion Of the Indian terri
tory and win place the new settlements under
better safeguard from the incurslons of the enemy
than that Which they at present possess.
Between the settlements and the 'huntng
grounds Of the Araucanans large tract OF country
Ii found, which may be considered as q species OF
neutral territory Here the Indians, when not en-
ployed in their occupations, roam and make savage
country is wonderfully fertile and productive, and
the savages though certainly rather primitive In
their notions of war, show degree Of sound sense
In wishing 10 retain II in their own possession. For
unatey the strength Of these tribes will only permit
struggle ON their part Of short DURATION and Chile
may al some little sacrifice acquire territory which
will amply repay all OF her efforts.
On the 2sth ut the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany,s new steamer Japan, Captain Bradbury, from
New York TO Panama put into the port OF LOta short
OF coal, having encountered very heavy weather
during her passage. Her size and magnfcence ex-
cited general wonder among the inhabitants, being
the largest vessel ever in the port. Captain Brad
bury was rather astOnlshed at the manner in which
friendly vessel in distress Is treated In these ports
After having taken his coal on board he discovered
that the duty he was obliged to pay
for entering the harbor amounted to $4S6. This
port duty was, OF course, only intended for such
vessels as trade on the coast and ii certainly was an
injustice to require its payment from ship driven
into the port by stress OF weather and destined to
voyage in a different part OF the world. The Japan
LEFT for Panama on the LIST inst.
The French company proposing to run line of
steamers from this port TO Panama intend beginning
operations in few months. An office has been al
ready taken for their accommodation, and II they
meet with success we shall be, In measure relieved
from the English mOnopoly-uncomfortabl and ex-
pensive-under which we now suffer.
ECUADOR.
The Ambato question Is yet likely to lead TO trouble
between Ecuador and Colombia the Jury having pro-
OF the EcuadOrians II Is to he hoped the respective
governments will make thorough and impartial
investigation Of the matter ana prevent the serious
consequences TO which 1t Is likely to lead If not
amcaby settled.
The yellow fever has broken out very severely in
POrt0viejO and Jipijapa.
Severe shocks OF earthquake had been felt in the
province Of Tunguragua.
ARGENTINE REPUBLIC.
We have received dates from the Argentine Repub-
lie up to the LIST inst. The state of affairs there
appears to be truly deplOrabe. The question as to
the Presidential election continues to be the cause of
more especially In the northern provinces 1t would
be only guesswork to venture any assertion re-
spectng the candidate who will obtain the prize.
Their number is legion; yet General Urquiza
favor. Several provinces have declared for him,
although there are Others in armed revolution
in South America. His estate comprises an
entire province, and he has on previous Occa-
siOns raised an army of 5000 men from his tenants
and supported 1t for nearly year from his own re-
sources.
From Paraguay we have nothing new. The gene
raj feeling is very respondent in regard to the
cess of the allies against the noble little republic of
Paraguay and 1t may be that that heroic country will
conquer after all. Certainly no more determined
sistance than that of Lopez against overwhelming
forces can be found in the annals of any nation.
Business is brisk. Freights for England and the
Continent active The United States steamer Nyack
is in port and will be thoroughly repaired.
