Spectal Dispatch to Tha Chteago Tribune. New Yon, Jun, 0.—Gen, Prado, ox-Preaident of Peru, arrived tn this city to-night, on route toKuropo, When he loft Lima on tho 18th of December last to visit Burope for the purpose of arranging vertain unimportant Interests of bis country, he placed the Government In tho hands of Gen, La Puerta, tho Vico-Prosident, und the other members of the Cublnot. It was not until his arrival hero that Gen. Prado re- ceived cate dispatches informing him that he had been displaced from his position, and that Don Nlvolus Plerola had seized the reins of government and been doclarei Dictator. This coup d'etat, which took place wbout 0 week after the President's departure, of course puta an end to his mission, and leaves him undecided as to what ho willdo, Me said to me that, whutoever his course might be, it would not be dictated by porsonal ambition or any other fecling than the wish for his country’s success wtor any Government. Gen. Prado, before leaving Lima, was direot from tho seat of war In thofouth, the nitrato district of Tarn- puca, The printed accounta of tho battles had, he anid, heen much exaggerated, Tho war he regurds one of conquest on tho part of Chili, and wholly without provocation. While he did not wish to predict the result, he sald be was of course hopeful of Poru's success, and had no idea she wad give up tho contest. It twas unequal, beenuse Chill had unticlpated 4var, and was preprred for It, while Peru was not. ‘The Peruviuns were atronger on the lund, tho Chillnana on the sen. At presont Chill had a decided advantage in holding the Tnarnpaca desert, finportant as .the nitrate producing istrict. The Peruvian army was forced out of this distriet after the battle of Sin Franelsco, becatse the Chilians knd captured both portaof entry to It, and this cutoff the means of obtalning supplics, As it wns, the Peruvian force of 4,000 men had a sovere time auring the six days’ Journey before they reached fertile Arien, where Gen. Prado bad his head- quarters. As for Pierntta, Gon. Prado said he was a minn of much exceutive ability. Thin coup d'etat, unknown to Gen, Prado until he renched this city, was not altogether unex- pected. PRESIDENT PRADO, PANAMA, Deo. 30—The steniner Puyta, fist arrived from the South const, brings a4 paseon- ger Gen. Mariana Ixnaclo Prado, Presidont of Peru, whd, accompanied by severnt Peruvian nivuloiicers, goes toEuropo vin New York. Gen. Prado embarked on tho steamer at Callao fn clandestine manner, and under an assumed name, There was no apecin! excitement in Lima, no disorder or revolittons In progress, or In immedinte contemplation that could Juatily his hasty and sceret departure. His explann- tion of tho affair fs that his mission was decided upon at tho lust moment, and on account of the exvitably charactor of the Lima populace tho Cabinet Judged It hetter for him to DEPART QUIXTLY, Ho says the object uf his visit to Europe fs to hasten tho purchuse of n now fronelad, or suv- eral of them, if he can obtain thom, which Is doubtful, for several reasons. Peru's empty ex~ chequer fs not Ina condition to pay fora poworful yessel which would ben mateh forthe three Chil- Inn ironeluds, and there [s also atamting in the way of his success tho unlversal disinclination of Buropein Powers to supply a belligerent with war-vessels. It is more than probable that Pra- do has secretly loft a country which would soon be dangerous to hin. and that his tight is a wucticnl adinission of the hopelesness of the Portvian eutise. There have been no fresh encountars since tho arrival of tho last mall.
