Another Revolt I'm Peru.

Warravaged and long misgoyerned Peru has
another revolt on hand. Gen PierOa who last
year drove out Caceres, perhaps the worst and
most corrupt Of rulers, now has an uprising in
one of the northern departments under one Col
seminari0, who took part in the last revolution
on Perola's side. the declared object of this
refractory individual Is TO divide Peru, into two
separate governments, one OF them to be adj.
mnistered by himself but thete is little doubt
fhat If he were successful In this purpose he
would NEXT attempt to overthrow Pierola and
set up his authority at Lima. We mad the in.
teigence some days ago that Seminario had
issued proclamation of independence organ
Red q provisional government, made Il con
.criptiOn of seven or eight thousand men, and
erected notifications at the old Peruvian town
Of Iquitos, in the Department of Loreto, near
the headwaters of the Amazon. We also had
the intelligence from Lima that President Pier
ola had despatched n considerable body of
troops TO the north for the purpose of suppress
ing the revolt and preventing the secession. II
IL long march through mountainous regions
that these troops must make before they can
reach the enemy; and but for the friendly aid
given by Brazil in permitting them to traverse
Brazilian territory, II could hardly be expected
mat they would ever be able 10 reach the re
their coming. We may next look for the news
either of battle or Of surrender at lquitos.
