appear ID be more successful. we aie IN
formed that, Notwithstanding the dis
persion of the m0untaineers of Huaucayo,
in the Department of Timera, by the forces
of Prefect Carcro. They shortly after ral-
lied again and carried the victory over the
Government forces. Mr.. Lazandage was
killed, and the chief and another officer in
command of the loyal troops were wound
ed. In consequence of these events, the
provinces of Huaucayo, Timera and Farmo
espoused the cause of the revolution, but
Prefect Carcro, who reached Cerro de Par
cos, without any difficulty, is there already
arranging the necessary means for the re-
establishment of law and order.
The above mentioned Colonel BALTIC had,
on the 2lst of last month, led his force
against the loyal troops in the city of Caz-
amoras and was victorious. In the impor-
tant department of Ancach, however, the
revolutionary troops under the command
of Ibonta and Pena revolted and dispersed,
after having killed Pena and some other
officers. This is characteristic of the kiLd
of material of which the revolutionary
armyis composed. The Government, on
the 81 instant, decreed that from the first
of January, next, the consolidated home
debts and the national loan shall again re-
ceive the same amount of sinking fund as
on the 10th of January, 1866. That is to
say, $4,000 for the former, and So 600
the latter, and also counting from the first
of next month, interest will be payable
every three months. On the 4th and 9Th
inst. a panic prevailed in our city. A rush
was made by the holders of the circulating
notes on the London Bank of Mexico and
South America against the bank for specie.
The bank not only promptly met all and
every demand made, but to facilitate the
exchange for coin and to accommodate the
public as far as possible, the doors of the
bank were kept open till a late hour in the
night. By this time the confidence in the
solvency of the bank is fully re-established,
and heavy amount of coin and bullion
remains in its Golfers.
p. S.-Just as we close this letter we
have received telegraphic news, brought
by the coast steamer from the North.
which had been expected in our city with
much anxiety. The operations of Colonel
Balta, whose strategical skillfulness is well
known, having given numerous proofs of
it during the present rebellion, may have
a final influence on the result of this
struggle.
Without paying the slightest attention
to the troops under command of Colonel
Gaiburd. and those which have left Lima
with the Secretary of War to confront him,
he succeeded in arriving with his force at
Pimento creek, which is situated between
two OF the contending divisions, and seiz-
ing steamer sailed, with command, to
parts unknown. 1t is more than likely
that ir is the intention of Balta to take
possession of the capital, which it would
not be difficult for him to do and would be
q terrible blow to the expetlitionary force;
and the Government, inasmuch as it would
force the latter to organize new CAM
paign, even if our troops should be sue
cessful in Arequipa. In the meantime, we
must wait until Balta's movements are
known, and will in our next letter have
important news to communicate. There
is no doubt that this late movement will
the end of the struggle, and
Colonel Balta may be called upon by fate
to solve the gordian knot at one stroke,
to the benefit or disaster of the Govern
ment.
