We have no news at all, other than confirmatory ro- ports from the Argentine Republic of the early depart- are of the Spanish squadrom from the Atlantic for this coast, The advices from Buenos Ayres are to the effect that the Spaniards are diligently preparing their ships for a long cruise, and that Mendez Nuiiez is liable to de- part with his fleet any day, It is now admitted here that the enemy will in all probability make his appearance about the last of October, There is not much excite- ment among the commercial bouses, as all have been very buay for some time removing their goods to places of safety; but great anxiety provails, and trade is con- siderably disturbed. Prices are not affected to any noticeable extent, but it is expected that imported goods of all descriptions will take a rise as soon as it is posi- tively known that bostillties are to be renewed. Public attention is occupied Just now with the fes- tivities of tho national anniversary. This holiday lasts a week. Thousands of families flock to Santiago, the Mecca of the Chileno, and the outskirts of the city are full of tents. On the 18th all the dignitaries assemble in the Gathedral, and occupy several hours in imposing State and church ceremonies, On the 19th there is a grand military review; on tbe 20th there are races under the patronage of the civil authorities of the city, aud during the remainder of the week the population amuses itself with the opera, big balls, freworks and a gorgeous display of equipages, fashions, &c, in the Alameda. W very good opera company, and a jong programme announced buco, Barber of Seville, pani, Lucretia Borgia, Trav I due Foscari, &c., &o. ' There were also to be given & number of concerts and several stunni something like the Washing. ton inauguration affairs, thas make that city so giddy every four yours, The exhibition of paintings in the National University promises to be very five. There are about two hundred Paintings in all, large proportion of which are by South American astists, principally Chileans. Much at- tention and eacouragement are given by the government to art, and the country is advancing very rapidly in the roduction of statuary and paintings, some of which ave attracted no little notice abroad. In Valparaiso everything is duil except so far as the retura of the Spaniards affects business houses interested {a removing goods. In anticipation of the enemy's early appearance (he neutral men of-war are assewbiing, and there are already three English frigates in the bay. Th ited States ship Nyack is bere, aud Admiral en 18 expected to arrive in a day or two with the flagship Powhatan. Ths other vessels of the squadron are in Peruvian waters, and will all join the Admiral as ‘soon as the Spanish fleet reaches the Pacific. PERU. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD. to the Intentions of the Awaiting Prado’s Over- Misgivings as Rebels—Spain throw. PANAMA, Oct, 13, 1867. The United States steamer Wateree reached this port on the 10.h inst, Her advices from Peru are ono day later (ban those of the regular mail steamer. The reporis of rebellion at Arequipa are confirmed. The disaffection se-ms to be widespread, extending even to the ranks of the national troops, and the general com dition of affairs was most dishoartening to the friends of the administration, The expedition against the rebols, although under the command of the President's father- in-law, was organized with many misgivings as to its success, as dirafection and even desertion among tbe soldiers while on their way to the port of embarkation were extraordinarily frequent. Is was only 10 consideration of the fact that a member of Prado’s family hed command of the expedition that the steamship Meteor was allowed to proceed with the troops, as it 1s understood that the rebels expect to se.ze the transport upon ber arrival at Islay and turn her prow toward Callao, after she receives on board the revolutionary army. Great reliance was placed in the ability of Ugarteche to frustrate this plot; but notwith- standing the peculiar attachment of this officer to the cause of Prado, he may be unable to overcome the oppo- sition of bis subordinates if they resolve to betray the yovernment, This identical game h n played upon two former occasions within may recollection of Peru; consequently the first intelligence from the expedition was looked forward to with dread forebodings. It has become known that the Spanish government is anxiously expecting the overthrow of Prado. The cause of the long-continued inactivity of the Spanish fleet is thus explained. The Spanish goverament ie aware that if Peru is left alone she will voluntaniy eject Prado from the palace—which meaos from the Presidency— @ this end accomptished the fleet of Admiral If the bad renewed the at- now have been consoli- ove the fear of an attack by the flest, and ¢ Is 8& once thrown into civil commotion. The chances are, that these disorders will culminate in the over- throw of Prado; and the strongest, best, and most capa- bie man to oppose the Spanish aggressions will ha disappeared from t “Let Peru alone, for a says Spain, ‘and she will herself open the road to easy conquest.’ There is logic in this, and after Prado ts barled from power, and aman of a weak, vacillating character, like Pezet, is installed in the White House of Lima, there will doubtless be signs of activity on the partof the Spanish fleet, Spain may then be able to make ber own terms with Peru, as sbe did under the auspices of Pigzon three years ago. There have been several arrivals from the coast, but no mails have been received since my last. We are, | consequently, without reiiable inteligence from Bogota. | The only inferecce we can draw from the suspension of communication with the interior is that some kind of guerilia warfare w going on along the Magdslens.

After ceveral anenccessful attempts another revolo- | tion is fairly under weigh sm this country, and the present governmont is beginning to tremble for fear that it may have to follow the fate of its predecessor.

Congress has suspended the Church powers in Are- quipa tor upbolding the revolution, declared that the Church bas to pay for all the stores sacked durii the excitement The Minister of government sronuied bimeelf before and gavo it the information that the government received in regard to the two affairs in Arequipa. He stated that the condition of the coua- try was dangerous in the extreme, and that the Execu- tive required active assistance from Congress to try and restore the country to order. That the danger was not only in the revolutionary district, but in all the prov- inces, where cons; y was carried on openly, aod gave them to understand that the Executive was aware that even in the house of Congress there had been a conspi- racy to overthrow the government There was some excitement among the members when the Minister said ‘thie, and as he did not choose to prove it he bad to re- tract bis statement. After some discussion it was de- cided by a vote of forty to thirty for Congress to continue in permanent session, and oame a commission to look into the present state of aifairs, and present a Tone to Congrees for some way to them. ‘he Minister desired that some steps should be taken at once, as the Executive was resolved not to excked his ad in any way whatever, but to wait for orders from Congress. While the revolution is making confusion in-one part of the repubiic the robbers seem tobe determined to do the same in the rest, even in the very city of Lima, and on the road between this city and the port of Caliao, on the 22d inst., a band of them attacked the signal master of the train and tried to compel him to make signals for the train to stop, for tne parpose of robbing the passen- gers, but the signal master was trae to his obligation, and would her make the signal bimself nor tell it to them that they might make it; so, after beating him severely, they left without accomplishing their purpose. To revenge themselves, five ot them on horseback placed themselves alongside of the track the next morn- ing, and in the train that left Callao at eight o’clock A. M. passed, each one of them fired his revolver into the coaches. Fortunately there were very few peopie in the cars on account of the early hour, and no one was hurt, though several windows were broken. None of the scountrels have been captured as yet. * On the 25th inst, the Diplomatic Corps gave a grand dinner in the houge of the Austrian and Hamburg Con- sul, which they dedicated to the Minister ot Foreign Af- fairs, Dr, José Antonio Barrenechea. Everything passed off very well and numerous friendly toasts were made and responded to. From Chile we get the news that the reform bills had ail been passed and a happy medium had been shown in them all, thereby trying to satisfy ail parties, There was every prospect that the company of sieam- ers from Valparaiso to Liverpool, via the Siraitsof Ma- gellan and touching at the Chile colony in the Straits, Montevideo, Rio Janeiro, St. Vincent and a French port, would be carried out successfully, There will be one steamer a month. Capital $3,000,000. The Spanish fleet has been reinforced at Rio Janeiro, there being four vessels there at the latest date. The Chile papers do not believe that they intend to return to the Pacific, though the Montevideo and Buenos Ayres ore trend that they have positive information that ey will The mines of Chachivuyo were proving very rich, as several veins of silver have been found mi with the copper, New gold mines had also been discovored which bid fair to be very good. ‘The allied fleet was still in Coquimbo. ‘A commissioner had been appointed and had alreaay ne LO settic some questions in respect to the guauo at lejillones. From Buenos Ayres wo learn that the force under Varela, after suffering severe hardships in the mountains have turned agains: their leaders and dispersed, and that Varela and the other revolutionary officers have gone invo Bolivia, ‘The great battle has not yet comé off in Paraguay, but general preparations were being continued, and great activity was secn in the Paraguavan camp in Cura- paity.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD, Ocean Steam Lines Centering at the Isthmue— The Rivalry in the Carry Trade—Sketch of the Different Lines, Panama, Oct. 13, 1867. Tho rapidity with which this terrestrial sphere is being crossed and cut up by steamboat, railroad and tele- graphic lines is almost beyond the comprehension of the most sanguine individual, while the number of lines of steamships centring at Panama is a wonderful illustra- tion of the rapid development of commeree within the last fifteen years, In 1850 the arrival of a steamer was an intrequent event from ports other than those of New York and San Francisco; in 1867 it t# a daily occurrence. Three lines to Europe, one to New York, one to San Francisco, one to Central America, one to the South Pacific and @ lino to Ausirala- sin are in the high tide of success, while a number of side lines in the West Indies, having Aspin- wall for their principal port, are doing @ prosperous inter-colonial bosiness, The Pacific Steam Navigation Company—running steamers coastwise from here to Chile—have concluded to estadlish a new line from Valparaiso to Liverpool, England, and, with this object in view, have asked a subsidy from the Chilean govern- ment, The vessels are to leave Valparaiso monthly, and, touching at the Chilean colony in the Straits, at Rio Janeiro, 2nd perhaps at other intermediate ports, will reach England in about forty days, The object of the English directors in establishing this line is said to be to discourage the General Transatlantic Company from running their threatened opposition from Panama to Valparaiso. This Trensetientic Company is the same that rans those Soe saucers from Brest to New York and from “1.

Tbe Panama Railroad Company rua steamers sem!- monthly to the (entral American coast, Tney have de- vonped &® large trade in colfee, indigo, &c,, aod the business is yet growing. The vessels touch two Pacific ports iv each of the Central American States, thereby affording facilities in exportation sadly want- ig before the {nauxuration of this enterprise.

The tine was established years before any other in the Pacific, to Tun 1p contection with the royal mail line from South- ampton, The trade at that time was naught, but the company was liberally subsidized by the Mish gov- ernment, and it managed to along until the Compietion of the railroad across the Isthmus gave it a Detter outiet for its freight As enermous traffic bas since sprung up, and now, a venture that scarcely paid expenses during the Grst years of its existence jelds ten per cent~the highest dividend allowed by joglish law—to way nothing of the divisions of stock and the ten-foid increase in ihe value of property. the com- pany, run eo all the ‘aiparaiso and rubber ments uf birds, animals, reptiles and The company, in spite of their prosperity, hower: manage their affairs with an ilivberality amounti: ‘moat to meanness, so that a well conducted opposition would meet with universal favor on the coast. The British government subsidizes the steam naviga- tion company to the amount of $90,000 per annum. The New Zealand company run steamers monthly from Paoama to bie and Sydney, connecting by various inter colonial lines to the principal ports in Australasia, The iine has been in operation t fifteen months, but has not met with as much success as its friends bave hoped for. Various circumstances have conspired against the prosperity of the company, such as the long continued prevalence of yel- low fever at Panama, which has not fatled to take advantage of. Great calculations made on carrying bullion have failed in toto, as tho fast sall- ing vessels now carry it via the Cape of Good Hope at one-quarter per cent, This being the exact rate charged by the Panama Railrvad for the conveyance of specie across the Isthmus, the steamships get oniy the litte driblets and remittances that are hastily required in London. The colgnies, however, pay the company a subsidy of £110,000 sterling per annum, so that their fipal success is ouly a question of time, On the Atlantic side steamship companies are equally prosperous with those on the Pacilic. The General ‘Transatlantic Company perform @ monthly service be- tween Aspinwall sud Nazaire, Franee, and, although the line bas been in operation less than two yours, is has already become the favorite medium of travel between the Pacific coast and Europe, The trips are performed with surprising reguiarity and the ®ppointments of the steamers are perfect, although the vessels themselves are not so large as those of the same company running between New York and Brest. It is to make a thorough connection by this line that the French governmen: desires the company to extend their Tamifications in t fi The Royal Mali Steam Packet Company—established in 1844—zun two steamers monthly from Soutvampton to St. Thomas, aod transfer Tree <= and cargo at the latter point for Aspinwall. The line, though good enough for all purposes ten years ago, has since fallen iuto comparative disrepute. It does not keop Pace with the improvements of other companies, aud Consequentiy iis traffic 1s gradually diminishing. Tne heavy subsidy paid tue company by the British govern- ment, however, enables the line to continue running in spite of the vicissitudes of trade, ‘A line of propellers, carrying freight principatly, bo- tweeo Liverpool and Aspinwall, hay been in operation for some yeara.

In this particalar ‘‘we need missionaries.” Day aiter to-morrow the election will take place in this city—not by direct vote, but rather by electing delegates, who again choose electors who decide who shall bo President and who shall constitute the Congress. ‘The 15th of September, being tho great national day for republican Moxicans, was appropriately celebrated under the direction of an association called the Patriotic Junta, for the first time, after an absence of the Proesi- dent and liberal power, tor four years, Tue theatres of the city were decorated with the national colors, with flowers and evergreens, a beautifully illuminated, Speeches were made, Tecited end tho music of the human voice biended with the symphonies of brass and string instramenta, At the National theatre, for- Santa Ana theatre, the ceremonies presence of tie President aud a portion of the inet, The galleries of the theatre were festooned with the national culors—red, white and green; the immense ceiling and galleries made brilnaot by a handred chandeliers; the boxes adorned with hundreds of beautiful iadies, dressed and dazzling with diamonds, On the large Btage wore arranged the Philharmonic Society, am whom were tue Seflorita de Pineda, who nas a m charming voice, which was well tested in the duet Torcuato and sul juently when she aang Addo from Rigoletto.

The oration was delivered by Ignacio Ramirez, Spoeches aud poems wore delivered by Sefiores Banuet and Gonzales de Gonzales, also by Colonel Garay. At precisely eleven o'clock P. M,, which was the hour of the day oo the 15th of Sepvember, 1810, that the attack Was Commenced upon the Spanish, wuich proved successful and resulted in their expulsion, President Juarez, seizing the oid standard of Dolores in bis hand, advanced to the centre of the staze, and in a brief and appropriate speech dedicated himself auew to the cause of repubiicanism io Mexico, At tois moment, the President having concluded his speech, a voice in the very top of the theatre asked to be heard a moment, sta\ing that he was a working mao and desired to declare the attachment which the class he represented feit for Juarez tor his perseverance and heroism, using language not so cultivated as carnost. He was loudly appiauded. After the President's return to his residence he at- tended an excursion “incog.’’ on the Plaza; but it was a decided failure, for, beiag almost immediately recog- nized, the crowd became furious to express their regard for bim by embracing him and other @uch siexican methods of politenesa, Compellea to return to his house, he was visiied by vast concourses of peuple, ac- companied by bands of music. Forcing his way to a baicony on the secund story, he was aduressed by seve- Tai persons, Who represented several classes of society, The air was reot with “Viv nuesro Presdne! Viva el Saivador de la Repibiica!’ &o. Juarez was finally compelled to reply, aud did so as tollows:— Crnaexs—The meot will comply with all of your demands—will meet all of your wan Tho re- \ organization of the country 1s now the chief aim of the government, and once established firmly, our whole attention wiil be devoted to the prosperity of the working man and the welfare of the psopie geverally. During tue afternoon of the 15th, although the govern. ment desire the abolishment of bull fighting, it was al- lowed as a sort of special occasion. The entertainment passed off without any fatality to the men. A few very poor horses were sorely dealt with by the furious bulls; most of tne latter did their part of the weil, and as the weather was tolerably fine, 1t was witnessed by several thousands of people of a1 ages and of both sexes. On Monday the festivities termina: as has been the custom for years past, by a grand procession of the dignitaries of State from the Palage to the Alameda, or park, between continuous rows of soldi extending that etire distance, There were also added all the civic societies, schools, &*.; veteran soldiers of the re- ee bearing the old flags of the times of Iturbide and taalgo, succeeded by General lea, commandin, this military district, at the head of some of his pick: soldiers, and among whom were the com: manded by Colonel Edelmiro Maver, now of the Mexican army, but formeriy of the United States army of volun- teers and Colonel in the Department of the Gulf, under Generais Banks and Canby.
