PANAMA, Feb. s, 1871.
UNITED sTATEs or COLOMBIA.
We have later intelligence from the interior,
giving the Information that the revolution in
Boyaca is progressing favorably for the in
surgents and rapidly assuming shape and i'm
portance. Perez has been defeated in his
attempt to resist the rebels, and this success
is certain to increase the numbers and power
against him. That II will spread to other
States-in fact, become general all over the
republican, one doubts.
The demand of the Colombian government
for the sailors of her Majesty's steam frigate
Jealous that were engaged in the recent riot
at the island Of Toboga, in the bay of Pana-
ma, has been acceded to. and the men have
been given up for trial.
The diplomatic relations existing between
disagreeable character The Ambassador Of
Ecuador at Peru denies the report, however,
that his government contemplates hostilties
against Colombia, and says that the misunder-
standing is in fair way Of settlement. He
also says that the people of Ecuador are in
favor of peace
At the time of the sailing of the last steamer
from Callao the difficulty between Peru and
Bolivia had assumed a serious character.
War was considered certain between these
two republics. The Peruvian Senate has
asked of the Cabinet Council, then in session,
if all necessary measures had been taken to
forcibly resist an invasion Of Peruvian terri
tory by the armies of Bolivia, and if the for
tifications and other defences were armed and
garrisoned. The reply was in the affirmative.
The Department of Foreign Affairs makes
strong protest against the threat of invasion,
to resist, by all the means in its power, any
violation of its territory.
The retreat Of Malgarejo, the defeated Pre-
sident of Bolivia, to Peru, will further tend to
complicate matters.
The Pacific Steam Navigation Company's
steamship FavOrita was burned in the harbor
of Callao on the 22d ult. Vessel and cargo
were entirely destroyed, upon which there was
no insurance.
There has been a revival of butl fights in
Lima.
The overthrow of the government and defeat
of its forces by Morales, the insurgent chief,
is confirmed. The President, at the head of
1900 men, attacked Morales in La Paz,
where the latter had fortified himself,
having an army of 5000 whites and 5000
Indians. The battle was fought on the 14th of
January, and the conflict was most desperate
fred the city, and by desperate charge threw
the attacking party into confusion. The
forces of Malgarejo being weary and much
outnumbered broke and fled, Malgarejo with
them, and he succeeded In escaping over the
frontier into Peru. Three hundred dead and
nine hundred wounded were found on the field
of battle.
The city was very badly damaged by the
fire, and after the battle was ended the Indians
puudcred it, committing the most horrible
outrages. Morales, the successful leader of
the revolutionary party, assumes the reins of
government, and will hold them until the
meeting of the Convention.
The Chilean government has approved of
the bill establishing the Playanegra Coal Com
pany.
The government loan of S4,0O0,o00, in
bonds of ST. 900 each, has been placed on the
market. Twenty per cent is made payable at
an early date, and the remaining eighty per
cent within six years The interest on the
loan is six per cent per annum
