We learn from a Bolivian decree of the 5th of June that the government of Bolivia has been authorized to declare war with Chile if an amicable settlement on the part of Chile ia not offered, and there is very little likelihood that Chile, which at present has possession of Mejillones, will do anything but propose to keep them. ‘The cultivation of cotton is getting some attention, A sample of first quality of cotton has been exhibiting in Santiago as produced in Chile.

He takes his Cabi- net with him and makes his stopping places the capital for the time being; so that on his arrival here Panama wil! become the capital of the United States of Colombia, at leasi for some months, It is # pet idea of Mosquera to‘ make it 30 permanently; but too much opposition has been dispiayod against the project to have it realized in Congress. Now, however, thut there is no fixed capital, and the President haa the power of locating it whorever he is rosiding, it 13 not improbable he taay manage to keep it here permanently. In advance of his visit he hus sent about one hundred soldiers from the Cauca, and may bring three hundred or four hundred more, as that is the number allowed by recent enactments. ‘He iven forbid that they should come; for we are much safer without them. . ‘Tho lust nows trom the States of the fall of Vicksburg and the defeat of Loe was well vecoived in Panam, ex cept by two or three of Jeff.’s admirers, who think the ‘cause gone in, Genoral Pezet, the recently elected Vico President of Peru, parsed through this city last weok from Europe, en route for Lima, to fill the Presidential chair, to which ke fell heir aftor the death of San Roman.

Messrs. Mackie and Squier, the United States Commis- sioners, had resched Lima, and were well received by the President. As I understand that Don Jose Manuel Hurtado, the same who represented Now Granada in the late com- missiou at W ishington, bas gone South to act in the same capacity for Peru, it is more than likely that the Ame. rican claima.ts will come out at the small end of the horn, as they did in their claims against New uida, especially if the Umited States government ad- mits as a precedent the principle acknowledged by the commissinners In the latter case, that Americans abroad are denizens of the couvtre they temporarily inbabit, and consequence have no claims on their own government PERU. ‘The news by this mail is not very important. ‘The commission from the United States government to Peru arrived last mail, and bave been well received in Lima. The claims to be adjusted are of considerable im- portance. The dispute between the Peruvian government and that of Brazil. about the rights of navigution of the Amazonas, has been setticd in the most {riendiy manrer. The com- pan who, on the part of Brazil sought exclusive priviteze, ave departed from this claim and have made public in- timation of the same; and with enterprise to follow up the explorations which have been made, and to use the facilities which both the Peruvian and Brazilian govern- ments now afford by their steamers, the presently unin- habited fertile valleys of the Amazonas would be the richest settlements in the world. ‘From the Mercurio del Vapor, of Valparaiso, July 1.) ie Pragident has been authorized to enter into a con- tract, for the term of four years, for a Une of steamers between Valparaiso, Port Montt and intermediates, grant- ing a subsidy not exceeding $50,000 per amnum.

The course itself is two hundred and ninety-seven yards, or about one-sixth of the entire distance, short of a mile; henoe this circum- stance must be taken into consideration in noting the time of the various races. For convenience, however, once around the track is considered a mile. The attend: ance to-day ban gl the number of splendid equipages on the course with gay and elegantly dressed la- dies being very great. Indeed, the race meeting Peg to be quite a gala time with the fair and fashion: visitors at Saratoga, and their presence gives an ad- ditional charm to the exciting sport. A akeeoner of the sporting and turfmen of New York, Boston, Paterson, Philadelphia and the Western States were aiso present. The first race upon the programme was a sweepstakes for three year olds, mile heats, $200 entrance, $50 forfeit, with $300 added by the propritor; the winner of the three year old stakes at Paterson or Philadelphia to carry five The following were the entries:—F.

Balrownio, dam Rhoda by Glencoe. The superiority of Captain Moore avd the filly Lizzie W. was so well known, and the success of one of the two considered so ced & certaivty, that tho owners of the other horses deemed it useless to start them, and the race was consequently left to the two above named horses. Their meeting in this race has for aome time been anticipated with an unusual degree of interest, as they have been looked upon as the two best'three year olds in Amorica, and this race would de- cide the mocted question of their superiority. In the pool betting, Captain Moore was taken for choice, bringing about $110 to the filly’s $100, at which relative prices an immense amount of money was invested. First Heat,—Captain Moore, who had the inside track, led round the first taro, when Lizzie went up and deprived him of it, carrying on the running ata rattling pace. Going slong the far side the riaer of the colt went up, and flading he had ber safe, pulled back his horse. an quietly watted gh run-in home, wi and racing with her afew strides, drew away, and came home a gailant winner by half @ legnth in 1:20. ‘Second Heat.—Any odds on the colt, $100 to $16 not elt- citing any offers to back the filly, whose owner, br. Wel- don, still retained his confidence in her ability to beat him. He took a lead of a length at the start, and this he increased throughout the first three quarters, when the filly got to bis quarters, collared and passed him, after a sharp struggleswinning the heat by half a length in 1:32. He backer Moore were still and offered $50 to start, and before little jockey of the filly, took a pull at her, and allowed ‘the colt to go al with a lead of a couple of lengths. The friends of the colt were in cctasies, and joy- fuliy proclaimed that ‘she could never catch him agaiv.” When, however, they next appeared in view, coming round the last turn into the homestretch, the filly, to their surprise, was seen leading, and this.ad- vantago was maintained throughout, the horse being manifestly outpaced, and was finally beaten by a length in 1:5054, Lizzie W. being prociaimed the winner of the heat and race. ‘the next race was atwo mile dash for a purse of $800; with the following entries:—J.

Her owner, fr, Weldon ‘and a well known patron of the turf from Paterson, stuck to her, although this was her first race, on account of her breed (being full sister to Lizzic W., a winner of the first race), and won over $500 at an outlay of about $20. ‘The doctor was warmly congratulated on his double success, and on the possession of two such ising young racing fillies as Lizzie W. and Sympathy.

All officers and soldiers now absent frem this army, who are able to do duty and not detached on special service, aro ordered to returm immediately. The commanding general calls upon all soldiers to rejoin their respective regiments at once. To remain at home in this the hour of our country’s need is unworthy the manhood ef a Southern soldier. While you proudly boast that you belong to the Army of Northern Virginia let it not be said that you deserted your comrades in a contest in which everything you hold dear is at stake.

The South Expects Nothing but Evil from Great Britain. {From the Richmond Examiner, July 31. Those blessed persons who expected nothing from England are filled to-day. Periodically there is a fuss in the British Parliament over the Southern confo:leracy. Once in six months at least, a‘*notice’’ is served on the world of x “motion” to be made by Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Linds«y or Gibson, With periodic regularity the motion is withdrawn, and the speculation which rested on it fatis like a house of cards. The last edition of the old story is found in to day’s paper. Roebuck has been duly manipulated by the British Ministry He is a wiser and sadder man than when he returned from France, and, “much against bis own judgment,” ‘asks that the mo: tion be discharged."’ He is unwilling to tramme! the *ction of the government, and leaves the affairs of France and the Southern confederacy entirely in the bands of the “noble lord at its head.’ So the farthing rush-light of hope blivks and goes ont once more. It 18 time that {bis farce should tiro the andience. After all the proofs we have had of the settled determina- tion of the Fnglish government and people todo no act ‘that shall tend to abridge this war or heip the Southern confederacy , or involve itself in a quarrel with the United States, the most sanguine and credulous should be at last incapable of further hallucination. We have no worse evemies in the world than the British government and the majority of the British batign. Not that they are the friends of the North. They hate the whole American people, and gloat on their ruin. All their diplomecy bas been and will over be employed to prolong the war, by preventing the interference of any other nation, The South never had, and never will have, reason to expect aught but evil from Great Britain. But in po event need any one expect Great Britain to do any- thing more than intrigue in this or any other im broglio, It will pot only never go to war, but will not take any step that may possibly in volve a future appeal to arms In judging that country, and in avticipating its action, one {uct shou'd never be lost sight of—that, im the present generation, It Js the most peaceably inclined uf all uations. The British pe ple of our day have been educated into a horror of war as the most costly of all extravagances, Napoleon detined the English to be a nation of shopkeepers. *The detinition was then but vartialy trae—and they con vinced nim of it before they were done with him. The Briti-h was «nce @ combative as weil as a merewnti 6 race. But it is no longer go | Mony wars have gaddied 1 with an incredible debt, and weighted al! its movements with monstrous tuxation. ‘The people who live m those islands have been taugit by every circumstance of their lives that wars mean taxes ‘lhey pay the prico of their an- cestors’ glory, and have fixed deep in their hearts the conv ‘ction that glory costs more than it is worth. The British people will not fight any more. A ministry that appears to keep the nation out of the ring where broken heads ure plenty, and brickbats flying around, will always. flod itself on the strong side. and never have the least didiculty in settling the Roebuoks and their like Rut France is a very dilferent vntity, The French, too, have had their wars. But they have not swaliowed the opiate of a national debt. From time to time Franze has coolly repudiated its debt, and neither this nor any other generation of Frenchmen are deaf to the voice of active ambition To be popular in France, the raler for the time must bestir himself, must enlarge the sphore of French iofluence.aad treat tie people to a dish of carnave now and then. Napoleon is wise im bis generation, He knows better than the Rois Faincats. Even if he bad not Mexic», it would be reasonab‘e to look for his finger in the American pie, But the possession of Mexico appea's to render his interference compulsory, whenever it shuli be- come evident that this confederacy will cease to exist without it. The news which the reader wili flod else where in this paper renders the probabilities to which we have referred doubly strong. That vows res- ders certain the only point in the case which was doubtful. It was not entirely ascertained whether tho French invasion of Mexico was to create a European government there, or simply reduce the native organiza. tions to order—whether the French interference was to be permanent or temporary. The movement to deciare Maximilian of Austria, or some other whom Napoleon shall dictate, the nominal sovereign of Mexico, which the — have put on foot, settles that question beyond @ donot. A vew throne is about to be erected, whose occupant shail be the puppet of France; that Jdee Napoleomtenne which has already been once embodied in a Kingdom of Italy, and Victor Fmanuei is to receive a new sbape, habitation aud name on the American covtinent. Bat it will soon turn to airy nothing once more-that tarone will prove an unsteady seat. that crown will be afragile headdress, that sceptre will break like a reed, ou the diy when the subjugation of the South shall bs completed, and the power of the United States be restored. To pre- vent this consummation is now @ political necessity for the master of France. NATIONAL THANKSGIVING. Proclamations of the Preddent, the Govera- or of New York and the Mayor of This City.

Ss cnr Se ET FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. Wepnespay, Augyst 5—6 P. M. The approach of the holiday rather checked business to-day, and led many people to close up operations, Money was in good demand, and the rate was rather 6 than 6 per cent. Toward the close of business hours, however, the offering at 6 was again in excess of the demand. Money is pour- ing into New York from all partsof the.country, the Stock Exchange being the only place where a man can make his money earn 5 or 6 per cent per annum, and still retain the control of it. First class mercantile paper selis at 6 a 5% per cent. Gold continues inactive; transactions are now very limited, and there appears to be little specu- lation in it, either for the rise or for the fall. This morning the price was 12754 a 74; in the afternoon it sold at 12734. Exchange continues dull at 140% a liltg. The demand for bills from the trade is very light; importers generally expect to bny at considerably lower rates when Charleston falls. The stock market was steady this morning, with some irregularity in the movement. The favorites of the day were Harlem, which advenced 1% per cent, and Galena, which was strong at an advance The rest of the market was steady, after some fluctuations, at the prices of yesterday after- noon. Erie sold aa high as 107%, and as lowas 10614; Southern old rose to 92, and fell back to 9144; Minois rose 44 per cent; Reading rose 4, then fell back 44; Pittsburg rose 44, and fell back as much. Governments were very strong at a fractional advance. State stocks were steady; bonds neglected, as usual of late. At the close of the session the sellers for a time outnumbered the buyers, and a concession of 1{@% per cent was made all round to effect sales. A good many ope- rators appeared to be closing their accounts, with a view to spending the holiday in the country. At the one P. M. call the market was steady, and at the close rather strong. In the afternoon Harlem was better, with a goo’ demand. The rest of the market was steady, with rather a strong tendency.
