Callao July 12, Valparaiso,  July 31. • Front Valparaiso we learn that an amnesty was eranted to all persons who on account of the part they took in the events of 1851 have been, or may be, indicted, and who reside at present in the country. The leaders of the Conservative party, who have hitherto supported the Government, and the Liberals have united and formed a strong party against the Government. They demand a change in the Cabittet'and a more liberal lineof policy. Late advices announces that the Ministers had presented their resignat'ort, and ithad been accepted by the President. Nothing is said as to their successors, and some persons are of opinion that the new Cabinet wilt not be appointed until Sept. Dates ft om Callao are to August 12, which give intelligence of the assassination of. Mr. S. E. Sulivah, Btitish Minister at Lima. The following particulars are from the Callao correspondent of the Panama Star and Herald : "News has just been sent from Lima that Mr. Sulivan, the Minister, was assassinated by six Peruvians. The Vixen has gone to Palta in search of Admiral Bruc?. It is supposed that he was murdered for the British interference in the matter of the Tumbes and Loa. I have just received the particulars of 'the affair :—Mr.. Sulivan was dining alone, when six men, masked, entered and fired three shots, one of which is fatal, having entered the groin and passed up into the lungs. After the deed was done one of them exclaimed, I am now satisfied,' and then they all disappeared. As yet no one is suspected for it. There is a desire on the part of the Peruvians to put off the whole matter as the result of an intrigue w;th lady. Bo that as it. may, the Government feel alarmed as to what the result will be. The steamers Ucalya and Tumbes are going south to bring back General Castilla, and probably some troops." "Callao, August 12, 3 p.m.—A Frenchman and a negro have been just arrested on suspicion of being accomplices of the assassination of Mr. Sulivan. There are not the slightest hopes of his recovering. It is now reported that the act was committed by some of the most respectable persons in Lima. However, I will give you the rumour. It appears a short time ago a ball was given by one of the leading families in Lima, and that Mr. Sulivan took there a well known prostitute that he has kept etna long ot the remonstrated time fac t til aa st mistress wit ith ha him, s agross re oa; sust hni e gen tlemen present insult his ttoalattentionl , pieerssons present ; to which he is said to have regood as any woman present plied that she was as or iu Lima, and that they were all a set of prostituti'. Are vard of 100 ounces is offered for the apprehension of the murderers. The steamer will be searched' by the Retribution as wens as she nets out of the harbour." The conduct of the Peruvian- officials towards American vessels had called for tLe interference of the -United States Minister. Private letters state that the presence of an American vessel of war was much needed on the coast. The Government of Ecuador had notified its adbeSion to the convention entered into between Peru and Chili in September, 1856. General Castillo, on his return to Callan, had been placed under arrest by the Council of Ministers, who exercised the supreme power diving the absence of the President. Castillo had published a letter complaining of this outrage. The matter was referred to the convention, which disclaimed the action of the Council. . Her British Majesty's steam-frigate Retribution
