Panama, Sept. 22, 1867, No further news has been received here from the in- terior of the country, The information given in local Papers or correspondence from here about the move- ments of the Mosquera party,, guerillas &c,, is of older date than what I communicated to the Hsmaup by last mail, and therefore aeserves no notice. Only from the State of Cauca I have spapers and letters brought by the Favorita, but which came to hand too late for my last leiter, cauca isfar from being pacified and reconciled to the new order of things inaugurated at Bogoté on the 23d of May. It is true tha. the Executive in the hands of General Elsco Payan, recognized General Santos Acosta, and that the Legislature approved his conduct, but things were far from satisfactory. Payan sent in to toe Assembly a Dill to recognize the admivistration of Acosta, without any reservation whatever, This caused a good deal of discontent in the Stat’, the greater part of whose intabi- tants were willing to accept the situation as unavoidable, but were opposed to an open endorsement of the policy of those meo who overiurew their idol, Mosquera, An- other circumstance con'ributed still more to create a feeling of uveasiness, namely, the appointment of Prem- dent Payan as commander-in-chief of all the national forces im Cauca, with extraordinary powers. This was looked upon, and no. «i hout reason, as an attempt of Acosta to bribe the Executive of the State to an undue interference in Siac atcers for the bevefit of the new order of things established at the national capital. At the same’ time two agents of Mosquera were caught who had been sent for the purpose of stirring ap a revolation in tavor of thediciator, Although their endeavors were frustrated, signs were not wanting that the radicals in- tended to resort t violent measures if the President did not alter his line of conduct Hints were given to Payan. by interested parties, that the military stores and armories of the Stace would be attacked by a revoiu- tionary party, «ith the consent of a part of the Legis- lature. Bo this true or exaggerated, the President acted upon the bint and removed the stores from the outlying posts to the heart of the country, This step @till more increased the discontent of the radicals, Might have led to serious consequences if the Legi tive Assembly bad uot interfered, although in an illegal manner. On the evening of the 8th of August eighteen members beld « session in the house of Auibal de Mosquera, and, there boing ® quorum of the whole, decreed the forma- tion of « civil guard entrusted with the maintenance of order aad tranquill ty, under the command of Generals Toujitlo and rancn:a The miaority of nine members who were exciudss ‘rom this seasion protested against the decisions taken, but in vain, The guard was imme- diately formed and order was at once re-established. Payan saw in the st ps taken by the Legisiatare a direct ‘opposition to his policy, and om the 10th of August sent in his resignation as President for the few days that he had stitl to remaia in power. Toe Assembly, however, did not accept 1', and thereby frustrated a move of the conservatives «ho tad last gated Payan, wishing to cre- ate a disturbance of sume kind in Popayan Cull and Pal- mira, as they bave done ‘other places of the South, from which places we bay 0 later advices, diseussii ill providing for a convention of the peop e of ail States for tbe pur- or “reconstructing” the natioa, the bill, as presented to the Assem- Diy, it ie asserted that Mosquera as weil as Acosta has violated the comstitation and the sovereignty of the States, but that Cauca wishes public peace aod the national union to be preserved, and that the only means of accomplishing this is the calli national convention.

A great row now followed, with @ different result, Flores not only triumphed over his adversaries, but was even elected one ofthe vice presidents of the lower House, but Peed Garcia Moreno was unmeretfully expelled, which unkind treatment cut him to the quick, so that he immediately sbook tne dust of bis ungrate ul country off his feet and Went abroad.

Ever since the last concordat was made with the Holy See numerous arrivals of foreign monks have taken place who wanted to make innovations which were distasteful to the people.

After taking the oath to fuifll the duties of the offive faithfully (by filling his own pockets oat of the Public purses), Prado was addressed by the President of the Congress as foilows:— Great and extraordinary are the events that take place to-day, most excelient sir.

(Applause from the gallezy and the repre- sentatives.) Several regiments of troops were tormed in the square, with their bands ing pairiotic airs, and crowds of people wre inside aod outside of the Congress ail, anxious to hear aud see ail that was going op. In the evening there were iliuminations, fires orks and music. On the Ist of September ali of the public men and mili commanders went to the Pa ace to salute and he (Prado) returned the compliment by giviue a grand lunch on the 2d, to whici he invited ali of the foreign ministers, and the coi mauders of the American abd Freach men-of-war in the bay of Cailao Now that Prado is regulariy inatalled under the constitution, there is not much fear of any Tevulution for some coasiderabie time to come, but there is no doubt that whem one does start, they will use the dectaration of the present constitution as & pre- text, declaring it, of course, illegal. Congress bas not dove reat deal during the past two weeks, mo-tly on account of non aiteadance of the members. The it of the Congress has sent a circular letier to each member attend. ance at ail the meetin; and saying tuat tue count expects it of them, Most of the time while at wi has been occupied with the committee appointed to regulate and investigate the public treasury, and what shall be the duties and pri Deionging to said committee, The following items have been passed already: Appointing a Secre- the Commission tary and two assistants; that sball examine all the accounts of the e08 of the guano, and that the said consignees shall be obliged to show the Commissioner all oe &c., neces- sary for that purpose; examine all contracts, agree- ments, orders and communications in regard to lvans, se ling of bonds, discount on bonds, drafts drawn by or against the government, buying or ‘building of armaments, or soldiers’ clothing, or any public article; to examine all commissions and sect pon! and everything in regard halo ae ividends, and reign debt of Peru, clear up everything to respect to them; to receive all complaints and accusa- tions and cause them to be proved eituer before a Peru- vian or a foreign court, at the option of themselves, taking care that the court shall bave all docu- to try the case fairly, They power to ask any document required from any minister, consul, agent, consignee, or any person that has bad anything to do with guano, and to present plans to government of what Gd consider the cheay and best way of disposing of tho guano, In case of any of the present contracts being broken the commission wili carry on the same till receiving orders from government, members of the commission to re- ceive a salary of $6,000 a year and travelling ex- eases paid.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF TWE WERALO. ‘The Chilean Navy—Seme ef the Fleet to Be Seld—Financial Exhibit-New Custom House—Question of Reforming the Tarif— The Jesuits. Vatranamo, Sept. 3, 1867. Nothing of importance respecting the Spanish Ameri- can war has transpired since the date of my iast letter. The news brought on the 24th of last month of the ar- rival at Rio Janeiro of the Spanish frigates Almanza and Concepcion, did not arouse the people to any great ex- ten}, and the public mind is enjoying a season of repose from the excitement which prevailed a few weeks ago. There is nothing to indicate an abandonment of the war by Spain; but on the contrary, there seems to be every evidence of a determination to renew hostilities on the coast, and commercial mon are looking for the appearance of the Spaniafds as soon as settled weather will justify a fleet in crossing to the Pacific, In the meantime the Chile government has ordered the sale of two steamers, the Concepcion and Antonio Varus. These vessels belong to the Chile navy, but are unfit for war purposes, and should have been disposed of long azo, According to the report of the Minister of Marine, the Chile navy consists of fourteen steamers and one store ship, mounting in all fifty-seven guns of various calibres from thirty-two to one hundred pounders. Seven of these vessels, with an aggregate armament of forty- nine guaos, are under the command of Post Captain J. Wilhams Reballedo, and form part of the allied squad. ren. The others are either undergoing repairs or just going into commission. The Patria says:— Besides the two steamers which have been ordered to be sold, the government intends disposing at once of two more, the Ancud and the Maipn, and is inclined to part with ‘some others, which might be sold to advan- tage. This done, the government would use every en- deavor to create a navy composed of strong and heavily rmed vessels and of a sufficient number of lighter and subsidiary craft, It is highly desirable that these views should be carried into effect, the more it is @ matter about which the public bas long since made up its mind; powerful inexpensive vessels are serviceable and economi- cal, while a host of small craft, whose united strength 1s unequal to that of a heavy man-of-war, occasion a large outlay, without ensuring even a moderate degree of respect to the country to which pm belong. The present armament of the Chile ficet is as fol- lows: —Abtao, three one hundred and fifty pound Arm- strong guns, one twenty-pound Parrot and four long thirty-two pounders; sixteen short thirty- tight pound and. ove foriy-pound armstrong’ Auetd, eight pound and one forty-poun ng ; four one hundred pound Parrote; Maips, four thirty: pound Parrots. The report of the Mi; of Finance presents some interesting statistics, The revenue for 1866, compared with that of the preceding year, exhibited a decrease of $102,731. The former amounted to $6,197,111, and the disbursements, including the expenses of ‘the war and the cost of ves-ols purchased for the navy, are $14,735,511. The deficit was covered by means of 1 The expenditure for 1867, estimated at $10,853,461, will be increased by the sum $4,240,000 outside of the budget, making a total of $15,793,461. To meet this demand, which for Cu is quite formidable, she has only thé eight ahda half or hine millions of ordinary Fevenue, assuming, of course, that no disturbing cause will occur to diminish it. The difference will be made up partly with the proceeds of the Morgan loan of $5,000,000 and partly with the funds remaining over from the previous year, leaving a surplus of about 000,000 for 1863. ith these three millions and the ordinary revenue Chile will have $12,000.000, more or Jess, for 1868, and the expenditure will exceed $11,600,000; that is, by the most favorable reckoning, sne may meet the demands of next year without a new loan by means of a balance on band of $2,000,000, more or less, consisting of a uantity of shares purchased by government and of $1,500,000 due her by Pera as her part of the contribu- tion towards support of t! The ordinary revenue of the y y the Minister of Finance at nine millions of dollars, and the total national debt at $36,050,373 92 ‘On the first of January {t will amount to about $36,000,000, of which $26,000,000 belong to the foreign debt, Tbe share of each inhabitant of tbe country in the permanent oa- tional debt is sixteen doilars and five cents. Commerce is progressing as well as could be expected under the unfavorable circumstances of an uncertain war, and a considerable increase i: noticeable in home productions, Imports have risen from eleven to aine- teen millions during the Jast ten years, and exports in the same period from ten to twenty-four millions, the latter nine millions come under the head of agricul- tore, and nearly fifteen millions under that of mining. The commerce of Chile for the last fiscal eer was Ft ape sented by over one hundred millions of dollars, hal! pn i through Valparaiso, In this movement England takes the i followed by Peru, Australia, France and the United States. While there bas been a diminution of trade between Chile and England, France and Germany to the extent of $2,460, it has in- creased 074 with the United Siates, Peru, Bolivia and the Se aT republic. The Minister explains this result by the influence pevinet y the iate na'ional events in Germany, and the bonds friendship whicb are constantly draw Hag the republics into closer relation- ship. The Mercurio of Valparateo says on this subject: — The South American republics endeavor to render more active and intimate their political relations, as well as their commercial intercourse; and the period is not very pare when a commercial union by the concession of privileges will be arrived at.
