NEWS FROM AUSTRALIA. Three Weeks Later Intel igence- Interesting News—The Revolutionary State of the » Miners, &e., &e. The bark Gem of the Sea hai arrived at Callao from Melbourne, whence she sailed on the 26th of September. The advices from Sydney are to the 19th of the same mcnth, The Gem of the Sea has $15,720 in gold dust for Adams & Co.’s Express, The messenger with the gold came in the George Law, and arrived yesterday. We are indebted to him for late intelligence. The news from Australia, brought by this arrival, is highly important and interesting. The Melbourne Avgus of the 23d has a most interesting summary and review of Australian affairs, occupying eight columns. ‘Le government at length appears to be in earnest in unlocking the lands, and thereby providing the colony with substantial means of prorperity; for, after all, the grand basis of the prosperity of every’ couatry, whether in ancient or modern times, bas been the encouragement of the interests of agriculture. Tne Argus has seven of ite large columns filled with advertisements of govern- ment land sales. In our previous advices we noticed that the miners in the different diggings had beeq holding primary and mass ith the view of procuring a reduction from government of the license tax, the abatement of other grievances. Resolutions feed acer ae to this effect were drawn up, and delegates appointed to present them to the authorities. Among other meetings held was one at the Fifth White in July, at which 2,500 persons were present, who bs ee petition to the colonisl authorities, em- bracing the following points:— 1. To reduce the license to 108. per month. 2. To direst that s monthly or quarterly liconse be issued at, the option of tae applicant, 3. To direct that a new arrival or invalid be allowed fifteen a olesr on the diggings before such person or Proceede1 against for non-poasession of Lic 4.

To direot that ss the digcere and other residents on tho fold elds of the colony. have uniformly developed a love of law and order, the sending of an armed force to collect the Uicenso tax, or imports, be discontinued, an 'Y paragraph of this petition was cheered as it was read, Two circumstances occurred strongly indicative to the temper of mind to which the diggers had been wrought on this cecasion, A German tleman calied on his coun- trymen to show hands, when about one hundred were shown. Then he said his countrymen were ready, with the rifle and the sword, to assist their English friends to obtain the:r rights. Immediately after this meeting had sanctioned the petition, with three tremendous cheers, some police- men were seen escorting a digger who sprenrel, en briated. The assembly commenced hissing the polic men, and ultimately » large party of men, said to num. ber at least a thousand, made a descent down the hill o the policemen, who bolted, leaving their prisoner legation waited upon the Governor on the Ist of August, and presented the petition, The interview was very unsatisfactory to the delegates—the Governor de- claring, after listening to their statement of grievances, that he could not bel that the ac‘a of ppuremion: de» tailed to him had been committed—that he could not alter the law, and was prepared for anything, and posi- tively making any concessions to the people whaiever. So things stood until the 28th August, when another immense meeting, numbering may thousands, was held at Bendigo, in which the diggers marched in procession, with benzers flying. and many guns were fired while passing the Commissioners’ eamp. A Geputation waited on the chief commissioners with a tender of 10s. as the to Miss Herrietta Bloch, being the first wedding in Oak: land.

And so the matter star ds, From the gold diggings the accounts are quite emcour- aging, andin some instances extraordinary, The newly red Goulburn diggings, at first very promising, Dave not realized anticipations, while great things are expecied of the Ovens during the ensuing sumeer. In our paper to-morrow we willgive some extraets from the Argus’ susMary. Suffice to in fhe! state, that from the 18th of August to the 4 of September, the escorts had brought to Melbourne 258,927 ounces; the totel amount shipped from Vi:toria up tothe 17th of September, was 1,592,648 ounces, or 66 tons, 18 owt. am i= hich, at an average of 75s., amounted to 5,904, 56 From a gold circular dated Sydney, September 10, we learn that the M’lvor and Seymour diggings were not yielding so well, owing chiefly at the latter plnce to want of water, Op the other hand we have the start! nonncement of the opening up o! new field of sur- pai sing richness at Balasrat. Nine parsons are reported to have obtaired nearly £16,000 worth of gold in » fe day From the official nature of the announcement we have no doubt of its substantial truth, and shall wait with tome anxiety for further information, A epot of great richneas had been discovered at Bua- nadong, near the head cf Oakley Creek, and a rush made there by mort of the digsers left at the Turon. Reports tpeak of one party ros lizing nearly £3,000 in a fow days, ani of others obtsining six to ten ounces per cay; but w3 should wirh to hear this confirmed. Stuicirg ia very ex- tensively practised at Hanging Reck, and with great suc- cess, A nugget of 77 ounces weight basalso been obtaia- ed at thie pace. Some important discoveries had been made at Balarat; three parties had gone down 160 feet, and come upon gold in great abundance; they took out in one day 104 pouads iz weight. This shows the advantsge of doep sinking. At Bnriandong, situated at the conflaence of the Mac- quarie and Cudgegang, the yield is (rom one to one and half cunces to the tin dish, and no blanks, the gold of a quality corresponding with that of Port Philip, People are flocking there rapidly from the Touron, although Big Oakey has atiracted its share, having’ lately turned ont some rich prizes.

NEWS FROM THE S0UTH PACIFIC. Invasion of Peru by the Bolivians—Affairs in Chili and Ecuador=The Markets, &e. The British steamship Bogota arrived at Panama on the 20th wit. She brought $400,000 in treasure, and advices from Valparaiso to the 1st ult. Our thanks are due to Adams & Co,’a express and to Captain J. Pederson, who is now in South America, for the latest advices from that part of the Pacific, The only news of importance ia the report that General Belvu bad invated Peru with 8,000 mem, and waa in ooou- pation of the villsges of Deraguaders, Zepita, Pomata and Julé, Elias was said to bein Payta, at the head of 1,200 men, to arsist Belzu. Bolivia, as may be supposed, is full of excitement and very unsettled, Ta Lima ever thing was fraaqull, bu! the gomeral im PERU AND BOLIVIA.

His invasion is termed » breach of faith and an outrage of the laws of nations, If so, we should like to know what the blockade and seizure of Cobija by the Peruvians was? It is evident that this move on the mes of Belzu was not anticipated by Pera ; it has taken them unawares ; they\ are now oxy raising volunteers and the mationsl guard to march repulse him. It appears thatnotwith- etanding all thy big words of General Pezet, the com- mander of the dstric ace of Pune sug] be wa ig ts rel sa Belzu advanced, ‘8 deputs- tion waited ca him toaek ifsach was the case, but he denied it, andthe alarm of the citizens was quieted. The roclamationof Belza is published in the Comercio of the Hin ult. He tls the Bolivians that he is tired of suflec- ing the injustice and perfidy of Peru ; he wishes that all the world ould have a plain and palpable demonstration that the government of Bolivia, desirous to defend the ccuntry, And strog im popular opinion and in the boliness of its case, neither dreads disturbance in the interior nor warabroad, He dext addresses the Peruvians ; he blames the government and the President as the solo cause of the present dispute. He comes, he rays, to of- fer peace; he refers to his previous life, to ths treache rous atd underband attempts of General Echenique to tow tke seeds of civil discord in Bolivia, to the vast in- jury done both to Bolivia and Peruvian commerce by the present course. Thus matters stand at present. This movement of General Belzu seems to bave aston- ished the Pernvians, and at once sroused them {ato sc- tivity. The President, General Eohenique, is preparing toleave immediany eos. take com: of the troops himself; meantime Belzu has every chance in his favor, there being no able Peruvian General to oppose him. The positon of the government may therefore be led as somewhat critics]; in the north civil waris dr id, from disecntent, with Elias as its mover. and in the south, the invasion by the Bolivians, whom it may be no easy matter to repel. ‘Tirrado, has resigned as Minister, and goes on & mission to the United States; he is succeeded by Paz Soldan, Congress is rapidly closing ita sitting, leaving everything unfinished, and prases the budget without any comment almost, ThoGuano Commission have not = Published their report, and fears are entertained that the quantity is but small, Pernvian bonds may therefore re- main stationary, between 60 and 70 per cont ; for when the supply of guano ceases the republic will be insolvent.
