END OF THE WAR WITH CHILI.-The on
nouncsment that the alliance between Peru and
Bolivia in tho war against Chill has been broken
off, virtually puts an end to the war in which,
after her first reyerses. Chill has been mi,
lormly victorious. The bruut OF tho war has
been borne by Peru, whose irou-cIad has been
captured by tho Chilians, whose towns have
been bIockaded or bombarded, and whose rev.
eIuo from tho lucrative guano trade has been
entirely cut off. The result puts Chill in the
