The mail steamers due at ‘Gailao on ibe 3d from the south, aud on the 4th irom the north, bad not arrived on tho afternoon of the latter @ate, aud considerable uncastness was felt as it was feared that something was wrong with the government troops, and that the steamer had been detained by some waster, Late in the evening the northern sieamer ame in, bringing news of a amall success by the na- Monai troops over Baita at Chiclayo, and algo the eap- wre of a number of prisoners, At midnight on the 4th the southern steamer arrived, accompanied by the Peravian war gieamers Union and Meteora, bringing President Prado and about tiftcen hundred troops, the Temuant of the shattered army, The President reached Lina about two o'clock om the morning of the Sih, pro- eveding direct to the residence of his father-in law, Colonel Ugarteche, in front of the American legation; and by nino o'clock that day we had learned the extent ef the catastrophe to the national arms. ‘The battle of Arequipa was opeved with the artillery at noon op the 26th uit,, and a beavy fire from nine-poun: dor rifled Biakelegs, twelve, eighteen and twenty-foor Pounder bowitvors and one sixty-eight-pounder rifled gun was drecied agamst the massive barricades of equare blocks of stone and cement uti) niviit. Next morning the artillery opened again, maintaining o steady fire until noon, when the order for the advance ef the troops to assault was givou. The attack was wade at the Quinta de Vargas, at the uppor corner.of the city, on the river, Having spent several @ays inside of tne town during the siege, and wisited repeatedly tho whole lina of defence, including every barricadyand station of the taaurrectiouary forces, Jeannot refrain from expressing my astonishment that the assault was made at that point ft was directly in front of the sixty-eight ponuder, and the revolationist had devoted all their energies and resources ‘o the atrengiheaing of that angle.

Lima, Jan, 12, 1868, ‘The Nyack left last night for Chile, taking ex-President Prado and bis compantons mentioned in yesterday's let- ter. The departure of Colouel Prado haa occasioned some dissatisfaction among the lower classes, who had hoped to heap disgrace upon their fallen President; but the respectable part of the community seems glad that he has gone, since his presence here only afforded a pretext ior disorder, Nothing of importance has transpired sinoe yesterday, except the arrival of the mail steamers from the north and south, bringing mews of the defeat of the government forces under Cornejo and further detaiis ofthe battle at Arequipa. In the North the national forces under Cornejo attacked Chiclayo on the night of the 6tb, and after threo hours’ bard fighting were re- pulsed with heavy loss, Five hundred are reported killed and wounded. Cornejo, who was wounded, with the remnant of bis force, not naving heard of the dis- aster lo President Prado, retired to the coast for the purpose of embarking for Callao and Lima;. but upon learmog of the success of the revolutiouists in the capital, hastily withdrew with a few followers to the imienor. Tous ended the war in the north, with the whole section in the hands of the revolutionists, Frow the South we learn thaé Arica aud Tacna had bec taken by the revolutionists after considerable ing. and Iquique and otber cities bad followed the up- ris ng. The entire country has yreided to the contagion aad the authority of the national government nas ceased to exist throughout the republic.

Tens strovt is on a direct line with the easterly side of West Broaiway, and if widepea, as proposed, the west- erly side would be almost on a tine with tho westerly side ot West Broudway, und would thus form, at aa aimost Inconmderate expense, a bread and beaatiful avenue by wuich the other avenues could be relieved ; secondly, Lavrens street 18 preierable to either Tuomp: -son or Wooster sirect, because if the former were widened the improvement would be stopped at Canal street, or it would be found n to rao an oblique through some very valuabie property in order to connegt witn any thoroughfare bolow Canal atrees; and if (he latter, then it would be found necessary to cut through the University building, and could go bo farther than Union square unless tt Were carried throug abd conmected witi Madison ave- Due—-a project which was, to say the least, higaly im- practicable, On the other band, Laurens street, if widened, wouid be greatly improved, and carrying the treet across We parade ground on 4b ovlique line Would be found any more vbjectionabie tuan if Cut ibrougn en a straigit line, Tuirdiy, that no other direct line of communication between Harlem and the Buttery cuuld 80 readily be found as would result uilimately irom he present proposed improvement. alderman Harpy stated that the present project did ‘not include the ‘ing of West Broadway ibrougn to the Battery, but meroly the widening and extendin; Laurens street, He also stated that there were thre interests that would be affected by the movement, Tne interest of the property holders on Laurens sireet, wuo wore, it would seem, in r of the project; the in. rect of the property holders sround Washington Pa- rade Ground, through whose property the extension would be carried, and who might uot wish to e tie Parade Ground out through, and ibe suierest of propery holders on Fifth avenue, who might not wish to have the avenue onthe emvellishment of they had expended so much money made ao @ for busi. ‘mess trailic. 3 General Srickr stated that, as a property holder om Fourtn sireci, he was epposed to the whule project. Mr. BLACKSTONE stated that he had bad conversations ‘with a pumber ot property owners on Wi(th ayonue, and be found that they had within the past year ceased to offer any objections to the project, ‘that the name of A genticman who represented almost bait a block on Fith avqnue was annexed to the petition, Hoe had heard that this was a raiiroad job, bat be would state that he and all the property owners oa street bad always been, were now and would conuaue to be strenuously opposed to having @ raiirvad turough that eireet.
