lessly or clumsily managed, ran dangerously
near The United States steamer Alaska aud
the Italian frlgate Garibaldi, and escaped
warm reception from the somewhat aux-
lous people on board OF these vessels.
The approach Of the launch was per-
ceived on board the Union before the
expIosion'took place. A heavy FIRE OF mus
kerry and from the ships Calling guns was
opened on the stranger, causing her to
promptly retire. When the morning broke
il became evident that at last the enemy
were in front OF Callao. The B.anco Enca-
lada presented its form, flying the broad
pennant OF Admiral Gavarino Riysros.
The Huascar and the wooded coryeties An
gamas and Pilcomayo, captured las; year
from the Peruvians, were also IN sight, all
far on, however, accompanied by trans
port, the Maths Cousino, carrying coal. 1t

were Immediately alive with excitement
and wakeDed 10 the situation. Fortunately
| the batteries were in fair condition, and all
was made ready for prompt defence. A
| launch was sent off from the Blanco with
| ilag OF truce, and met by boat from the
Union, the ChilaD delivering dispatches an
nouncug that the blockade Of Calao aud
the adjacent bays ana ports was established,
and that term Of eight days was conceded
for the departure OF all neutral ships from
the port. The customary replies have been
made, and the diplomatic body In Lima has
made request that the time be extended TO
| fifteen days. Prerola has issued q decree
opening to foreign commerce all by-ports
between Casma and Pisco, and declaring
them port Ut entry, so that the Chilians
will find their hands rather full il an ut.
tempt is made to carry out this project OF
blockadiDg a wall line Of three hundred or
four hundred miles with force so insignifi-
cant. The Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany will remove their offices aud stores to
Payta. Mails, OF course, will be inter-
rupted, and only the steamer carrying cor
respondence from here, leaving tO-mor-
row, and a way-steamer to proceed to
Panama, will take foreign letters. 1t Is
thought, however, that some interference
will be made by the men-of-war In port,
the Shannon, Alaska, Hansa. Vict0rieuse,
and Garibaldi. The only effect OF the
threatened attack noticed up to this time,
besides the flight OF persons from the water
| ing places, is rise IN The prices OF prOvl-
sions; but the Government has issued a &C.
cree prohibiting all extortionate charges"

quest of the Consular corps, and has ex-
tended the time for the departure OF neutral
ships up to Tuesday the Goth instant, at

staniinople TO the Times says: According
TO trustworthy intelligence received from

that he has no intention OF fighting with the
bands which have taken possession OF the

Osman Pasba and Haddo Bey, both officers
in the Turkish service, and on intimate re-
lations with IZZet Pasha, encouragement
