Ex-President Murillo to Settle the Cuyler Affair and the Venezuclan Boundary—Assas- sination of an American at Pannma. Panama, Oct. 23, 1867. The Colombian man-of-war Colombia has arrived at Aspinwall, having on board Senor Murillo, the special commissioner from this government to the United States. It was previously announced that Murillo bad been appointed Minister Plenipotentiury to Washington; but it now appears that be is only sent there to regulate certain affairs—said to be connected with the purchase of the steamer R. R. Cuyler, Murillo, who, it is proper to say, is an ex-President of this republic, is clothed with full power to settle other questions pending between the two governments. After the completion of his basiness in the United States he isto proceed to Venezuela for the purpose of settling the question of boundaries, which not long ago threat. ened to produce the must serious complications, it was the declared intention of Mosquera to enforce the claims of his government for certain territory then and now wader the jurisdiction of Veuczcela; but the question, ich, in truth, was one of a personal character, is now be arranged amical and mutual explanations and apologies will prove the friendly disposition said to be existing on efther side. The steamer Colombia was to have conveyed Murillo to New York, bot, for good reasons, the ship will not leave these waters at present.

Santiago, Oct. 1, 1867, Considerable interest has been givon to the political situation, as regards the allies of this coast, by the resignation of Senor Don Alonso Vovarrubias of his port- folio as Minister of Interior and Foreign Relations, and the appointment in his stead of Senor Don Francisco Vargas Fontecilia, This change in the Ministry took place on the 26th uit., and was entirely unexpected, Many sssicn as a reason for the resignation of Mr. Covarrubias an inclination on the part of the Chiloan government to consider favorabiy new propositions for peace with Spain, which the official course of the late ‘Mipister debarred bim trom participating in with any hope of success without a radical change of his policy. Hisex- acting conditions upon which he accepted mediation re- cently offered by the United States government, and his comprehensive demands upon Spain for reparation, are mill fresh in mind, and, it ts argued, presented obstacies to the inauguration of peacefal negotiations alleged to be desired by this government, As yot it is impossibie to Judge with any degree of accuracy as to what really is the object of this change. No intimation is given by the government or its friends of any new policy being contempiated, and the political parties are utterly ata Joss how to the event.

Lrwa, Oct, 12, 1867, Once more we are in the midst of great excitement, if not alarm. The revolution in Arequipa, to which I briefly alluded in my last, bas taken such formidable dimensions that all available troops have been de- Spatched to tho seat of war, and today the Presidert leaves for Islay to take command of the army in the field. Even if the rising should remain confined to a single town or province, and be crushed out by the overwhelming numbers of the government forces, Peru once more loses many of her sons in fratricidal war and adds millions of dollars to her national debt, Arequipa has been, is and ever will be the hotbed of revolutions, which break out there with the same fre- quency, not to say regularity, as earthquakes, No sooner is one revolt quelied and afew months elased, when an amnesty is granted to the leaders, who go right back gain to their favorite haunt to commence the game anew. Canseco, who bad twice in the last few years rebelled against the government, could not be expected to re- main quietly at Arequipa, especially when there was such a fine pretext fora revolution in the new constitu- tion, which, in articles 20 and 24, grants certain liberties that “stink in the nostrils’ of a bigoted people. This new constitution was to bo publicly prooialmed nnd read, as in all other towns of Peru, so also in Arequipa, on the 11th of September. Festivities were prescribed for that and the two following days, Te Deums, reviow of troops, &o, As soon as the morning of the llth dawned fous looking groups of persons observed standing at the corners, Their intenti did not re- main long unkno' for goon they were seou to wend their way towards the principal square, followed by servants carrying bundles of straw.

The citizens retursed the fire as well as they could, and thus things went on all night among the dismal ringing of bells which added to alarm the peaceful inbabiianta, At seven o'clock 1m the morning the revolutionists took the tower of the cathedra! by stormand thereby gained the batialion of Ayacucho, the previous, day from ‘Want of food and wa'er, was obliged to make a sortie from its barracks. which tt did io gallant style, ropuis. ing the mob’from the square, storming the barricades which bad been thrown up at tbe junctions of the prin- a short time lif H i i ! u 5 Hd i ! fy Fos. r j ii HDs é : F i i } i Ni EBS ir ! iF is i i ; H i FI cs that of is: iH if eat | aeath epilate Hie ! fore siege.

But there exists a good deal of discontent in the South. It is said that the province of Chuquibamba has joined the movement inaugurated at Arequipa; bus this news is not authentic. In Tacua and other places an open manifestation of sympathy with the revolution- ists will probably be prevented by the authorities, who are very watchful, The principal question is—Witl Lima remain quiet? It would be a hard thing, indeed, for Prado if, during his absence in the field, a revolution should break out !n the capital.

Congross on catled on the Home Sec: to give the reasons of the government for this act. The Secretary asked for a secret seasion to make explanations, and the session was fixed for next day. But the Execative prevented a quorum to assembie by inducing the minority to stay away, and so the sessions of were virtually closed. What the minority wish is sbown by a card they have published in the say that, “considering the porveal ait the rebellion in Arequipa, and believing to falfit a duty patriotism, they hat resolved to suspend their asai: at the sessions until the republic be paci- fied.""
