The re- volution was commenced under a favorable im- | pression, when suddenly some rumor got afloat | that General Castilla was in connivaace with | the President of Bolivia, and by the casual | interception of Castilla’s official notes the ru- | mors were no longer a matter of doubt. It is | well known that General Belzu was established at bis seat as President of Bolivia by the ia- trigues and material aid of Castilla when | President of Peru io 1847, and very naturally in his hour of need he looked on bim as his sup- porter. The arrangements made secretly were | carried on, and his partisaus have seen with | astonishment brigades of artillery. arms, am- munition, horses, and large remittances, pass | the frontier, directed for the army of the insur- | gents. These base negotiations have excited the patriotic feelings of the country, and in my | opinion are enough to produce a reaction in the | provinces. This has been proved by the move- | ment made in this city, which now ie garrisoned | by government troops, and woich undoubtedly | will be followed by the other departments. j General Castilla, who is a soldier of fortune, nevertheless, with an army of 4,000 meu, has taken an aggressive course, and is at present | marching on Ayacucho, where he will meet the vanguard of General Echenique, and a san- guivary battle will ensue.

The Gold Diggings of Callfornia and Oregon: {From the San Francisco Herald, July 23.) Gold must, for some time at least, bo the maia stay of California. Upon tue yield of the mines we | must depend for means of paying for our imports, building railroads aud telegraphs, -anals and cities. Gold ia our great staple, and upon its prodact de- pends our preepenty as much as does that of Georgia upon its cotton crop. The idea has ob tsined abroad that the yield of our miaes is dimi- nishing, because, forsooth, we do not ship quite as many millions per annum as in former years.

He lost thirty yards by the as i deut. Joe went along very steadily, opening the gep gradually, while Commodore appearei to labor apd fret upder the spur, and did not extead himself as he is accustomed to do in his exercise. He broke np two or three times on the first half mile, and would have been distanced in the heat had thee been a distance judge sppointed.

This silenced | the music of the backers of Huested, and not one of them was heard till the termination of the heat. Commodvre went véry steadily along, and won the beat by yards, in 2:49. Third Heat-—The rider of Joe Huested was changed, ard a mu h better one substituted. The horses were started nicely, and went round the turn bead and bead, Commodore on the inside. On the hill at the back of the course Joe's head and sboul- Gers were in front for a moment only, Aaa then they were parsile! agaio, both horses going at a tremen- dous iate.

To morrow Parliament will be prorogued by the | Queen in person, and the session terminates with | prospects of peave. You are already informed of | the retreat of the Russians from Wallachia; they | arenow retreating as fast as they can from Mol- | davia, and recrossing the Pruth. The Russian Ambassador bas officially announced the fact to the Austrisn cabinet. The Turks are in quiet posses- sion of Bucharest. Now, if the Emperor of Russia had thought fit to evacuate tee Principslities be- fore he bad been “licked”—for that is the most appropriate term I can find—out of respect to the summons of the Western Powers to that effect, it would have been regarded as a concession, and negetiations could then have been opened. But as he has done his best to maintain himself there, when by his invasion of the Principalities he has wantonly caused the death of more than twenty thousand of his own subjects, and a great aumber of others, and then, when he finds he gets the worst of it, withdraws—surely such # step cannot be called—as it doubtless will be—a siacere wish om the part of his Imperial Majesty, the ‘well-intes- tioned Emperor of all the Russias, not to distarb the peace of Europe. Austria, as you will observe, in defiance of her treaty with the Porte, has not entered the Daau- bian provinces; and now that the Russians are gone, she has no business to enter there; if abe does it will be as difficult to get her out as to geé out the Russians. What I have above expressed is equally the opinion of the English and French goveraments. ‘The retreat of the Russians behind the Prath is net regarded by them an adequate satisfaction to the belligerent powers; and if we are to trust an official: announcement published inthe Paria Moniteur of yesterday, and confirmed by Lord Clarendon in the House of Lords last night, Austria has notified her intention not to be satisfied either. In fact, Austria has formerly, and since the evacuation of the Princi- palities was known at Vienna, expressed its conour- rence in the views entertained by France and Eng- land as to the conditions upon which alone peace can be restored. Diplomatic notes to this effect were exchanged at Vienna on the 8th inst. between the Austrian, British and French Ministers, and the Cabinet of Vienna further announced its deter- mination not to treat separately with the Cabinet . of 8%. Petersburg until those guarantees for the fature shall have been obtained which are regarded. as indispensable by the three Powers. You will observe that Prussia is totally ignored. There are different versions of what those comdl- tions are. Tae Times gives them as follows:— These conditions we take to be, firat, the evaca- ation of the Principalities, which we shall for tee present regard as an accomplished fact; «econdly the Sbrogation of the treaties under which Rassias exercised an exctusive protectorate over Mulds- vis, Wallachia, and even Gervia, and claimed & similar protectorate over the whole Greek pulation of the Ottoman empire—so that uceforth the institations of those Provinces and the rights of tre Christians in Turkey may be laced under the safeguard of the common law of jaropean. Lhe ae ba ee Pere! the iar vero Entvoly, the get ey of the Convention of the Straits, and the adoption of such measures as are necessary to reduce the naval ascendancy ef Bus- sia within limits less formidable to the existence af Turkey and the independence of navigation both on the waters of the Euxine and at the mouth of the Danube. This version is pretty correct, and {s confirmed by intormation I have received from other and well informed quarters. The details of the com# tions have not of course been Iatd dom yet, ati ‘ very much will depend on them. For instance, suppose the Powers demand that the Satteries ef Sebastopol be demolished: Believe me, the cum guine expectations that the war ia over are prema tare. The adoption of measures to reduce the na- val power of Russia is a vague expression, lishle to all sorts of developments. The excedition to tM Crimea, of which I have already informed you, by this time hes, doubtless, commenced operations. Letters from Constantine- ple, of the 30th July, confirm the sailing of the Turkish fleet, with pontoons, flat-bottomed beats, &c., for landing troops and artillery. The onig doubt that existe is which point is to be attacked firet—Axapa, Sebastopol, Caffa, or Weasa. Phe. latter port, it is said, will be taken to establish winter quarters for the combined fleets. The visit of Gererals Brown and Caurolent wan simply @ reconnoissance. They went as fer as Anapa and Sebastopol, coasting it, to make obsee- vations and to select a landing pla‘e. The Fary, with General Brown on board, entered the outer harbor.of Sebastopol, to investigate, and was fired at. They returned to Baltshok on the 17th July. The allied troops are échclonnés from Perma te Kustendge, along the Bulgarian const, to facilitete their embarkation at different points. The embarke- tion was to have commenced on the 20th or 30the It is to be hoped that the news of the total evacaa- tion of the Principalities by the Russians @il) mot induce @ countermanding of tre expedition. ‘The Austrian government has already conntes- manded the advance of additional troops te the frontier. The Hospodors Ghika and Stirley are te be re-established in their governments. ‘The villege of Salina, where Capt. Hyde Parker was shot, has been totally destroyed, with the ex- ception of the church and lighthouse. The moutta of the Danube will be cleared, and the navigation thrown open. ‘The mail steamer from the Baltic fleet arrived yesterday at Dantric. She left the flect at Bomar sund. Three thousand French troops had landed The Rassias deserted eight cannons. From Spain there is nothing new, except thet Queen Christina is not allowed to leave Madrid. Armed bands are placed along the road te out of her flight. She is not to leave till her fate chal have been decided by the Cortes. Ido not bellows that any harm is meant her, but she will be mage to pay down a large sum of money.
