 South America.
 By tine arrival of the Pacific Mail steamship Granada, we are in receipt of advices from Panama to August 9th. From our exchanges are taken the fol- lowing:
 The Panama Canal, of August 3d, says:
 News from Peru is most convincing that the Government of Garcia Calde ron Is inevitably coming to grief.
 Caceres is close to Lima and has put stop to traffic on the Oroya railway, of which he hrs the control from Masucans up to the head of the line, with esgines and coaches at his command.
 The address of Campero to the BOliv-> ian Assembly was most patriotic and enthusiastic, declaring his determination to continue the war, because the army was in splendid condition and he had the means of maintaining 1t on a good footing. Should the Assembly think of making peace, he and hIs Cabinet would instantly resign
 In AyacuchO there were two divisions of the army numbering 5000 men, be- sides the battalion, "Libres del CuZcO," under Astete, consisting of 600 more. The Patriots of Canete had succeeded h taking a number of arms and some field pieces from the Chileans, literally driy- ing them into the water to the boats to get on board the Amazonas.
 The reception of PierOla in AyacuchO was quite striumphal day. For three days they were making preparations t. re- ceive him with every mark of honor. Bishop Polo, General Segura and every man of distinction went out to meet him. The most enthusiastic cheers of welcome resOunded at every step, whilst the crowd almost bore him along in their arms to the palace prepared for him.
 CHILE.
 The Panama Star and Herald's adviees from Santiago, July 9, says: Just now party feeling runs very high, and mat ters at home command the undivided at tention of the people, who are anxiOusly watching the proceedings of their repre- sentatives and of the Ministry n the tXo Chambers, the debates having Peen ot very interesting character during the last days.
 TT SH position seem determined to spafl9W forts to bring about a resign atio @sqI.e Ministry, and have succeed ed ip,a-s.Ir obstructive policy SO far that the, Jte of supplies has not been passed as it should have been, according to law, on or before July 18th (tO-day). This leaves the Executive in a dilemma, as the present taxes, duties and other im- posts have not been authorized by Con- gress for fresh period, the government cannot legally collect cent of revenue in the meantime, and can only fall back on a further issue of paper, for which they have no authority.
 The Argentine question Is settled, l Chile having receded from her preten- sions to an Atlantic seabosrd. If 30, SO much the better for all concerned. This country wants money, and money she must have by hook or by crook. She wants to raise G foreign loan, which she might do when backed by the guanO and nitrate of Peru, but never with the pros-' pect of another war with country hke Buenos Ayres on her hands. | The ordinary income of the country will not cover its expenditure, and 1t will | take all that the nitrate and guanO will produce to support the army and navy A away the two sources of revenue from | Peru, what is to become of the latter's creditors?
 The people of this country are taxed now more than ever they were, and still the cry IS for more revenue. The day will come when it will be impossible to tai, them more, and then there will be a | call far a new loan. It therefore be- | hooves fl5Sending investors to be careful how they subscribe to any loan that has | for ;ss object theS-nere stOppage ot a gap | in the revenue. s.s9as6ns- -~aIe always given for the raising of every loans>Snd sometimes very specious ones. We nust- ! have either more paper or borrow money abroad, if We keep on at the pace we are | going: but we can do without either If we reduce the expenditures of the cOun- try. As it is, Chile is literally eating Peru up and impoyerishing herself at the same time.
 On the 17th ultimO, fire took place at Punta Arenas. The hotel of MT. | Charles Mkay was entirely consumed. | It is supposed to have been the act of an incendiary, and 1t IS the second time | that the same gentleman has been burn ed out. The amount of loss IS calcu- lated to be about 94S,0O0. The insur- ance is understood to haye been for no less than S15,0O0
 The Central and South American Tel | egraph Company have sta-ted an enter prise f,,. -,.ns overland and sublu..sflne lines from Vera Cruz to Tehuantepec, | thence crossing tn. Isthmus to Guate- mala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica to Pan ana, and then down the coast to Callao, in Peru, so as to put those countries in | immediate communication with the lines already eustmg to Bolivia, Chile, the Argentine Republic, Uruguay and Bra gil. and well as with the United States and Europe by the cable belonging to the same company, between Vera Cruz and Brownsville, in Texas, and which there connects with the line of the West ern Union Telegraph Company.
 Smallpox is approaching BOgota, says Fl Zipa of July 2d, although no cases had at that time appeared in the city. | A Health Committee had adopted most vigorous measures to guard the inter- ests of the public in anticipation of such a calamity. Public vaccinatOrs were ap- pointed, celadores to patrol the streets and see that they are kept scrupulOusly clean, and to prevent any one who has been attacked with smallpox from en- tering the city while there IS danger of contagion; hospitals have been estab- lished and everything done to prepare for possibilities.
