by General Melgarejo was attended with no dis
turbance whatever. The news OF the terrible effects
OF the yellow fever at Coba Islay africa and Tacna
had alarmed the people OF the interior beyond

to avoid the approach OF the unwelcome visitor.

Affairs, Mariana Donate Munoz, the same who has

Treasury Don Manuel de "a Lastra, and OF religion

The political excitement that reigned 40 generally
In Chile few months since has almost entirely a,s
appeared. The concatory movements OF the Pre-

Of the impeachment OF the Supreme Court, have
gone far towards restoring feeling of confidence IN
and satisfaction with the administration.

the best men Of the country, which Will meet in
1870 TO remodel the existing constitution, and more

constitution OF Chile Is now thirty seven
years old--an almost unprecedented fact In the an.
mails Of the South American republics yet there are
several defects IN 1t which easily and peaceably
be arranged. Now that the warm season IA ending
the President and his Cabinet who have been So
journing in Valparaiso during the heated term, are
about returning TO Santiago and on their arrival
there the extra session OF Congress VIII be called
In this session the subject OF electoral reform will
also be fully discussed.
