The corps of engineers comprises a staff and one regiment of two battalioss, each having five cowpanies and a cadre de dépot.

Politics— Difficulties with Bolwa—Don Domingo Elas— Rumors of a Combination Between Hum and Bezu—Statistics of Revenue and Expe dim tures—Guano at the Chincha Islands, &c., §t~ The pohtical state of affairs in this country appears at present rather gloomy. Nothing hag being done yet towards an adjustment of difficulties with Bolivia, In the Southern provinces the interdiction is severely felt by all classes. The cessation of trade and the scarcity of mowey has paralysed the enterprise and industry of the country, and the flourishing state in which these departments were sone time ago has been changed into a disastrous stillness. When we were confident that the government was shortly to undertake the campaign with Bolivia, we have been startled with the news conveyed by the war steamer Ucayali, being nothing less than that Don Domingos Elias had revolted against the government im Ica, where he was organizing a body of troops(1,500 men,) and proposed to raise an insurrection, founded on the ground that the war with Bolivia was an evil for the country, and entirely without any object. There has been a geveral cry of vengeance aguinst auch a leader, who, to satisfy his personal ambition, endan gers the safety of his country. However, prompt meaus have been taken to repress this movement so auti-patriotic. The brigade of Geveral Vigil, which Wes inthis city, has been sent to the North toperate wita the division of General Forrivo, and, according to #l! accounts, Elias will soon disappear from tha scene. The last intelligence from Bolivia is to the 20th Des., through the United states Coargé d’ affaires, Colonel H.W. Miller, who arrived here from Cocha- bamba. Everything was quiet, and every revolutionary movement hud been quelled by General Belzu. It is reported here that Klias: is in combiastion with Beizu, soit is likely that tome corgs of Bolivia troops wiil descend to the frovtier, where they will mee’ the division of General Pezet, and probably a conflict will ensue. be conviction is that ina few mouths everything will be decided either for peace or war. There bus been a great sensation in Lima, created by an article that appeared inthe Comere o, headed “ Peare at all events,” and whiclr is ateri- buted to one of the cabinet minist Hoy r, his views have been fully refuted.
