On the 24th, we reached Coquimbo (Chili), seaport to Sarena; exports the same as Huasco. On Christmas day, at dawn, we rode into the beautiful bay of the vale of Paradise Let me here remark, that from the river Tumbaz, the northem between the republics of Ecua- dor and Peru, to this city, is one continuous un- broken line of barren rock and sand, 2,000 miles long. Upon every remarkable eminence is seen the symbol of the faith of the country, a huge cross. A description of Valparaiso must be reserved for another day. I will conclude my prosy epis- tle by correcting, in brief, an erroneous impression prevailing in the States among merchants, relative In my first communication, tion of my journey from New the isthmus. On the 27th of November, we em- barked, at the last named city, on board of the Neuva Granada (for Valparaiso), one of the five British mail steamers, which leave that port, on the 27th of every month, regularly, for this and the intermediate points. I propose to describe to you the commercial features of each place; my chief object being to open to the view of American merchants, the commercial importance of the Pa- cific seaboard. From what I can learn, it is com- poratively little known. On the 29th of November, after a smooth and pleasant run of fifty hours, we reached, early in the evening, Beunaventura, the seaport to Bogota, ‘ " + i to An can shi etting supplies at Valparaiso. ‘the capital of New Granada.

I have made it a point to in- quire of several shipmasters who have put into this port, and they have, to aman, assured me that Valparaiso is the only place, from the United States to San Francisco via Cape Tior, where a ship can be properly provisioned or repaired. There are now lying in the harbor upwards of 100 vessels, of which 80 odd are American, that have come in for water and supplies generally, Some objection has been urged against Valparaiso, on account of the exposed harbor in time of a_norther. I heard the Capt. of the Vandalia, the United States corvette, is port three weekajago, remark, that with suf- ficient cable and good anchors, the harbor of Val- paraiso was equal to any in the world. He laughed at the objection as futile and unfounded.

It exports chiefly gold. Cotton and cocoa grow im the interior, and are taken by land to ‘Guayaquil. The rainy season lasts from April to November. Little time 1s lost here in ex- changing the mails or receiving cargo. On the 3d December, at 7 P. M., we rode into the harbor of beautiful Guayaquil, a large and populous town, the seaport to Quito, the capitol of Ecuador. It Contains 12,000 inhabitants, and is, doubtless, one of the warmest places on terra firma. It lies some distance from the sea, upon the Guayaquil river— a river remarkuble for its scenery, with lofty mountains in the distance, on either side, The shores are covered with a dense growth of forest trees. Its chief exports are cocoa, tobacco, coflee, Peruvian bark, straw hats, lumber, and the richest tropical fruits. ‘The Guayaquil hat and pine apple are celebrated the world over. In this place is found, in its perfection, the rare and deli- cious fruit known as, the “cherrymoya.” Here atrains from December till M ‘The balance of of the year the earth is pare! with the rays of a vertical sun.

This wonder of nature and of art—for such she literally may be called—is not one of those rough and stormy natures to whom success is won by their hardy and unblushing efforts. She is as retiring in her temper and her whole disposition, as it would be possible for a woman of such high tal- ents to be; and indeed, in her habits of life, par- takes more of the retiring child than it would well be possible for you to conceive. She is an accom- plished netdle-woman, and loves nothing better than to pass her mornings in the quiet and natural occupations of her sex ; either in tambour-working or netting, or in some other graceful and tranquil employment. Never possibly would you meet or know any one who more thoroughly and wholly partook of all the gentler and more feminine cha- a Id. On the 5th of the same month, about mid- jay, we moored in the pretty bay of ““Payta,” which afiords a sefe and roomy harbor for ships of any tonnage. ‘The country around, to the eye, as you approach “Payta,” presents the most sterile view that can well be imagined. Not a sprig of vegeta- tion is anywhere to be seen. Itis a sand-cursed land, and rains once in five years. The inhabitants, 3,000 in number, look as though they were never free from dust and perspiration. They are supplied | with water, in tanks, from the interior. The chief exports are cotton and straw hats, of inferior quality. Poultry and potatoes (from the interior), | since the discovery of gold in California, have be- come articles of recent export. A U, 1 States const! is stationed here, an_ intelligent Jerseyman, bd the name of Polemus. Touching the waters of e bay of Payta there is a very remarkable phe- nomenon ; it presents sometimes, for acres in ex- tent, (with the deep sea-green entirely around them) spots of reddish, almost vermillion color, supposed to be the emission of marine animalcules. Sea birds, they say, never alight in them.
