Unhappy Peru.

An American gentleman engaged in business in
Peru, and who has resided there so long as to be
entirely disconnected from and dfsnterested in
partisan matters here writes to relative in this
city as follows, under date of the 2d instant:
"The course Of the government at Washington
has done immense injury to Peru and to all prac-
tlcaly interested in the well being OF the country
TO Americans here 1t is most humlliating to see
their country laughed at as the ChilefioS are
laughing at the United States for the manner In
which that government has retired from the posi-
tton taken by Mr. Blaine"
The same correspondent adds:
"Lately there has been some resistance to Chill
Ian rule In the interior OF Peru with attacks upon
several Chflian garrisOnS there. The latter have
retired TO the coast, destroying several towns as
they passed through them. OF course, these acts
only tend to trritate the Chilian commanders, and
to cause them to take more pains in devising ways
to oppresS all classes OF natlves,-which measures
must, OF course. cause injury to the interests ol
