4 Another Revolution in the State of Panama. Condition of the West Coast Republics. Important Revelations in the Boli- vian Congress. The steamer Henry Chauncey, Captain Connor, from Aspinwall October 7, arrived at this port yes- terday. The following ia the list of treasure by the Henry Chauncey:— Eugene Kelly & Co.

Another Revelation in Panama State—Chiri- ani Retuses to Acknowledge the Provisional Government—Promiuent Citizens Forced to Take Refege on Shipboard—Probable Lose of One of the Central American Steamships. PANAMA, Oct. 6, 1868, Another revolution! You had better stereotype this expression, as it is likely to bocome a standing joke. On the evening of the 4th inst, the steamer Montijo arrived in port from Chirigul, and, of course, everybody was on the qui viveto hear the news, but the authorities were determined to head them off, and sent as large @ military force as they could raise to prevent any communication between the shore and the vessel, until they first got posted. The mails were seized from the purser, and the owner of the vessel, Mr. Henry Schuber, who was ahead of the government in communicating with his captain and purser, was placed in charge of an oMfcer and quietly escorted to his home, where he remained in charge of & guard until an order was sent for its removal. The object of this attention to Mr. Schuber was, I presume, to prevent him from circulating aay news be might have recetved from Chiriqui unfavorable to the government. Well, when the news came to be known it was decidedly un- favorable. The commissioners who, as I mentioned in a previous letter, liad been sent to treat for peace, were ignominiously snubbed and refused permission to land at Chirlqul. They consequently came back on the steamer. Their report is that the Chiricanos have refused to acknowledge the provisional gov- ernment, and have established an independent one of their own, with Seflor Santiago Agnew as ita head, Sefior Juan de Venero as Secretary of State, and Sefor Aristides Obaldia as Commander of the Forces; and that they are determined to fight tt out. The have 300 men, well armed, and can raise 2, in case of need, though they have not arms for 80 large a force. The soldiers sent there by the State government had an encounter with the men of the department and were badly beaten, five of their men killed, as well as the Governor's secretary and their commander taken prisoners. They then joined the Obaldia forces. ere seems little doubt that Chiriqui can hold its own against any force sent there from Panama. On the news reaching: this place t excitement prevailed among the’ government people, martial law was at once pro- claimed, the Isthmus once more declared in a state of war, the sale of arms and ammunition of war pro- hibited and all persons between the ages of six! and sixty called to arms.

Another batch of Cacos Island treasure hunters hav. e down from San Francisco; they are part of the late stockjobbing company already mentioned, and are trying to humbug some one here into letting them have a vessel on credit to go in pursuit of the treasure. The idea is to fit out a craft of any kind, announce in San Francisco the fact that the expedi- tion has sailed and then sell out the balance of their tock. The whole thing is @ swindle, and they know it. We bave had a heavy gale blowing here for a few days past, hat no damage has been sustained.

The Minister of Justice, sent by the gover t for thia especial ose, hus conferred great benolits upon that section; but It 18, of course, imporsible to replace, in a few short weeks, that | which was the reselt of the labor of centuries.

Congress has done nothing of importance since the date of my last communication; projects of all descriptions have been submitted, but nearly all tend toward augmenting the alreaty great expenses: of the government, and, consequently, there is aiuall probability of their being adopted, Legislative bodies in Peru have always proved themselves to be superb failures, and the general itapression 1s that Colonel Balta, with his knowa probity aud strong good sense, would do much more good to the coun- try were he not hampered by a number of Con: men, who, though religiously punctual in their de- mands for their pay, still frequentiy have no session Jor threo or four days } for want of a quorum, A_ number of would- | be wise men are now busily endeavoring to lobby a bill through Congress, by which those off- | cers and soldiers who, on the 2d of May, 1806, merety did their duty ta thrashing the Spuntards, will receive increased rank and pay, thereby causing a burden to the Treasury which would drive the uo- fortunate Minister of that distracted department to his wits’ end or to one of the well established lunatle asylums in this city, It is really incomprelensibie and perplexing to a foreigner to wituess the pro- found want, not of latent, but of common sense, manifested by these Peruvian legislators when the opportunity 18 80 apparent and the means so simple to confer great beneiits upon their country. We are again somewhat alarmed about rence of the yellow fever. It cannot be for that in the early partof this year this terrible scourge | devastated Lima and Callao, and carried off in four | months nearly 17,000 victims, . The intelligent Minis- ter of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Parrenechea, now periorm- ing the duties of the Minister Cisneros, who isin the | South, has ordered that hospitals shal! be imme- | diately built at Payta and on tue island of San | Lorenzo, in the Bay of Callao; that ali vesseis com- ing from infected ports shall be subjected to a strict juarantine, and that the municipatities of Lima and Callao stiail immediately proceed to take those measures for the preservation of health i the two cities, the neglect of which recentiy caused such terrible consequences. These measures cannot be too highly apjlauded. Im any other country they would be considered as simply natural, but in places i where foresight and prudence are the exception ad- miration must be allowed. Peru has certainly suf- fered from almost every calamity during this year, and now the presence of an epidemic like the fever would put the finishing touch to our state of misfor- tune and uneasiness, A step has es been taken by the government of Peru that will thoroughly eradicate any seeds of dis- affection towards it that may have existed, and will go far towards insuring in this country for Many years to come. It will be recollected that the Canseco administration, after its accession to su- preme power, arbitrarily erased the names of a number of its military opponents from the army list and sent these unfortunate victims into exile, without having given them any hearing or trial, military or civil, whatsoever. Now Colonel Balta has officially revoked that measure of Canseco, de- claring that it was unconstitutional, and authorizes the persons injured not only to return to Pera and resume their former rank, sut also to draw for all back pay due them since their destitution from their Positions. By this Prado, Conejo and all the men who fonght bravely but unskilfully at Arequipa and Chiclayo are reinstated and are rewarded for thetr long months of' poverty and exile. This action, although only just, cannot be woo highly commended, since it was in Balta’s pores to have followed the poaee of his pre- lecesor, but instead of evincing paltry sen- timents of that officer he has shown himself again Worthy of his positi |, ikea true soldier, nerous to a fallen foe. ie army will, however, redut the officers of most merit remaining and those who have had short terms of service provided with some other employment or be dismissed. me government has declared the value of all tin a i into this country to be five soles aud’ duty of ten on this article. that all foreign money is to be dise with a conventional price, tue ‘Treasury haa declined, in answer toa the merchants of Moquegua, to fix a value upon the Bolivian money used extensively in Peru.

President Melgarejo and the Parnguay River Boundary—He Toadies to Brazil— Flogging of Citizens for Their Patriotic Ex- pressions, Lima, Sept. 28, 1868. The Congressional session, which commenced on the 6th of August last, is still continuing and is ab- solutely non-productive of benefits to the country. An act has been passed, thanks to the Leporello of Melgarejo, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, confirm. Ing all of the despotic acts committed by the great Captain General and almost assuring him of perfect indemnity for the future. But the supreme power exercised by Melgarejo over the Congress is well tl- lustrated by the following incident:—The Deputy, Mr. Munoz Cabrera, one of the Committee for Foreign Affairs, anxious for an opportunity to demonstrate that he, at least, had some feelings of patriotism left, took a bold stand in the House against the treaty defining limits which was entered into by Bolivia and Brazil. By this compact Bolivia lost the western bank of the river Paraguay, her only.communication i tin | with the Atlantic, and nearly 18,000 square leagues Man? at batorem inte be levied | of territory, while, in exchange, Melgarejo and his In accordance with the principle | Minister were decorated with imperial orders by the han- | Emperor of Brazil.

The misfortunes of Peru are insignificant in comparison with those suffered by Ecuador. Apart from the natural feelings of sympathy and sorrow we entertain for any people in distress, Chile is plunged in profound grief for her ally, from whom she has always received the warm- est proofs of friendship. Owing to the extraordinarily heavy rains which have prevailed in this country for some weeks past Congress has not met for several days, and conse- quently the government has not been able to ask the passage of a bill authorizing the immediate des- patch of money, provisions and stores to the ruined people of Ecuador; but on the very first opportunity the same generous and humane assistance extended by this republic to Peru will be repeated for the benefit ofthe sufferersin the former country. The catas- trophe which has destroyed the most fertile portion of Ecuador, burying upwards of 40,000 persons, has caused a renewalof the alarm that was felt here after the reception of the news of the Peruvian disaster. As we have no active volcano within the limits of this republic the ‘quidnuncs have deter- mined that the rains which have so greatly incon- venienced us must be regarded as dangerous phe- nomena from which some fatal occurrence will pro- ceed. In Ecnador, immediately previous to the earthquake, @ very heavy rain fell, followed by a clear and beautiful night, and we have observed this same circumstance for several days. Now the ci question ai are we to be subjected to similar calamities ? course no definite answer can be given, but in countries like Chile, where earthquakes are by no means rare, such fears cannot be woudered at. Many scientific explaaations have been ventured concerning the caases of these recent movements, and we Were very much gratitied at the opinton of one savant, who declares that for 260 years we shall be exempted from repetitions of the disaster, If any faith can be placed in this prognostication, which is more than doubéfal, we certainiy have | abundance of time for preparation.

By the arrival of the steamer Tampico at Santiago de Cuba on the 7th inst., and thence by telegraph we have news from Venezuela, though with the usual carelessness of Sponish editors, the dates are not given. The usual time of sailing from Caracas to Cuba is seven days. General Mariano Lopez had deciared in favor of Monagas. The forces of Colmenares were defeated by the vanguard of Norberto Jimenez’ command, which was marching toward the East. The cam- paign against Puerto Cabello had terminated. Mo- 4 Guzman Blanco had returned to Caracas, mero, Minister of Foreign Affairs and War, and other persons had sailed for Gnaira to con- fee with Sutherland, who was still recnsant. San Fernando and Apure had pronounced for the new governinent. The health of Caracas was ex- tremely good. There were but seventy-nive inter- ments during the month of September.

Mr. Disraoll’s Election Address--Styley Vor biage and Politicu’ Assertious of the Pre mier--His Dficini Keiations to the Queen and Influence of Place~Imitation of Royalty— The Battle of tho ‘Tarene—A Serious Crisis < i de ‘ we rend Loxnon, Oct. 3, 1888, Disraeli, the Premier of England, has issued to his Parliamentary constituents in Buckinghamshire an address inviting them to re-elect hin to the reformed Parliament. In manner, matter and the circum- stances which attend it this address is very remark- able and will atiract great attention and cause con- | siderable discussion, The text of the address will reach you by mail. You will observe that Mr. Disraeil has dated his address at Downing street, which is the official resi- dence of the Prime Minister—his oMice, with a suit of dwelling rooms attached. But Ihave the best rea- sons for knowing that the address was not written | at Downing street, but at Balmoral Castle, where Mr, Disraeli has been residing for the past fortnight as Cabinet Minister in waiting on the Queen, and from wlience be has but just returned. In point of fact, Mr. Disraeli was not at Downing street on the lst of October, the day that the address is dated. He was on his way back from Balmorai, and the ad- dress was not only written within the precincts of the royal castle, but was actually read to the Queen, received her endorsement and is a perfect expression of her views. ‘This circumstance adds to its im- portance. You will notice that the address, down to the words, ‘This, the natural current of events, was to be interrupted,” is almost identical with the para- graph of the Queen’s speech proroguing the present Parliament. Indeed the address, up to that point, ia merely a paraphrase of the royal speech and was written by the same hand and eg a copy of the latter document before Mr. Disraeli. ‘The latter para- | graphs of the address are not in the least more origi- ual. It is simply a repetition, in fewer words, of t) close of Mr. Disraeli’s oration against Gladstone's motion disestablishing the Irish Church delivered in the House of Commons last session on the evening that the first vote upon Gladstone’s resolution was taken—I mean the vote permitting the resolutions to be introduced into Parliament. I informed you at the time that the oration of Mr. Disraeli, just mentioned, was inspired by the Queen herself, and that the Premier's agitation and unusual awkwardness while delivering it arose from the fact that he was speaking another person’s sentiments, tu the truth of which he had not yet fully come to believe. In London, however, Mr. Disraeli’s agita- tion was ascribed toa very different cause. At the clubs and in several of the London papers it was openly asserted that he had taken too much brandy aud water before he spoke on that eventful evenin; Shocked as the English pretended to be by the discovery that Vice President Johnson had tndul; in champagne on the morning of his inauguration, ey, were not all slow to charge their own Premier with intoxication, The result has shown that they were wrong and that the HkRALD was right. No one can accuse Mr. Disraeli of writing and correct- ing an important public document under the influ- ence of stimulants, and yet we find in this address the same arguments, expressed in almost identical urases, a8 10 his Parilamentary oration. The e fluence pervades both utterances, and it is the per- sonal, direct influence of the Queen of England. Those who confidently predict an overwhelming liberal victory at the coming elections in this country will do well to remember that this is the first time in many years that the sovereign has thought fit to throw the royal influence into the scale. this influence may be worth—what effect it may have, one way or the other—is @ matter for the future to determine; but are its importance can- not be overestimated. the liberals triumph, will triumph over the Queen and in a te ie , and another blow will be dealt to the diminished power of the British throne. If the liberals are defeated they will discover, sooner or later, that it is the ro; wer which has de- feated them, and it is more than nope they er the will Lear re their ravens by Cryer 4 er 7 rerogatives e sovereign. as it may, the fact remains that Mr. Disraeli is now fighti the Queen's battle rather than his own. Personally, I believe that he cares not! for the Irish Church, and would be in favor of its destruction. His ante- cedenta point that way. His character makes these views probable. But the Queen bus very different opinions, and her interest in the coming elections can be very explained. In the first the Queen looks upon the dts- ben rem Cd ey gm Church au fii Lined at the prerogatives and patronage of the Crown, an she therefore resents 1t with true German obstinacy and jealousy. So little practical power remains in her hands that she keenly feels the loss of the Irish Church nage. In the second place, she con- siders the disestablishment of the Irish Church merely a step towards the disendowment of the Eng- lish Church, and. @ thorough Protestant and the head of’ the English sect, she opposes disestab- lishment with a spirit which she often compares to that of Luther. You may judge from her diary how outspoken the Queen is when she pleases to be, and how simple are her likes and dislikes. In the third place, then, she perso disapproves of Mr. Gladstone and Earl Russell does not care to hold any intercourse with them, and 1s repelled by their manners as well as by their principles. All these things, taken ther, make up a pretty strot basis for action, especially when we remember thi the Queen ts awoman. Right or wrong, she has these ideas and has acted upon them, and under her direction and personal encouragement and sym- athy Mr. Disraeli is now fighting that battle for the rish Church which all of us hope he may lose, no matter how much we may admire him aside from his politics. Unquestionably his address, which is in trutha manifesto, will have its effect = the English voters. In foreign affairs, in the Abyssinian expedi- tion, in army and navy reforms, in the suppression of Fenianism, the conservative administration has deserved well of the country.

FRANKFORT, Sept. 29, 1868. For the last three months reports in the papers prepared the public for a manifesto of the Elector of Hesse to the sovereigns of Europe for the vindication of his rights. Ihave just been favored with a copy of it, as it has not yet been published by the trade. It isfrom the pen of Professor Pernice, of Géttinge n, ‘@ legitimist of pure water, and if ever the mountain was delivered of a mouse it is in this instance. The ex-Elector is, of all the dispossessed princes, de- serving of the least sympathy. He was little thought of all his life. No law could bind him; he annulled the constitution and had to be compelled by a Bis- marck to restore it. He did not allow, out of spite, the town of Hanau a telegraph, and ordered the treea in the public promenades to be cut down because a member of the opposition had been returned asa Deputy. At Cassel, his residence, he did not allow new private buildings. His great ill-gotten wealth, which he secured by a treaty-with Prussia while a prisoner at Stettin, originated in the blood money his ancestors got from England for troops provided during the war of independence of the United States. The people of Hesse had certainly no interest in this affair. Such a man appeals now to the sym- pathies of the world and expects that French and Germans shail kill each other to enable him to renew his misdeeds. In order to defend his case he goes back to the treaty of Vienna of 1816 and pleads his consistency in opposing every liberal reform in the late Confederation. He takes great credit for having always been true to the old Bund, which tsa matter of course, and without that support he would have been expelled long ago by his own subjects. He then proves that he has always supported the Duke of Augustenburg against the pretensions of Prussia and that his calamities Sprang, ym that source. All that is matier of history and needs no argumenta- tion, The oa is only interesting when it comes to the point, and wnen he tells what happened when the Elector was di |, and then he re- veals various conversations hitherto unknown, and there I shall take it up to give an extract. ‘The appeal to the sovereigas of Europe ns clumsily enough by a quotation from Vattel which ought equally to deter Napoleon from fighting the Elector’s battles. el :—"Whoever appeals to arms withont legitimate reason has no right what- ever; the hostilities he commits are unjustifiable; he is responsibie for all the calamities and horrors of the war. ‘The blood spilled, the desolation of the pe rapes, violence and devastations, all in- cendiarism are his work and his guilt; he is guilty with regard to the enem: <4 2 whom he attacks, oppres- ses and massacres; he is responsible to his people, whom he leads to iujustice, whom he brings in jeopardy without necessity or reason; he ts responsible to his subjects crushed by the war, who lose their lives, their property or their health; he ts guilty, besides, against mankind for troubling his peace and for giv- juga bad example.” Now as there could not possi- biy be a more wanton war than that to restore the Flector, and as one Frencnman or German killed in his cause would be more worth than he and all his race, only such people as have © fancy to be maimed iw the desence of divine right will be inclined to come forward as the champions of the Biector. Ilia reve- wUons Will be more annoying to Count Bismarck than his appeal. He states that on June 22, 1866, Count Bismarck told the Hessian Eavoy at Berila tuat much rather than to allow the Austrian com- wanders to oceapy Berlin he would cede the left | bank of the Rhine to France.

CUBA. The News of the Revolution in the Island— Santa Anna and the Cuban Authorities. Havana, Oct. 10, 1868. The rumors as to the future destiny of this island in view of the troubles in Spain are as thick “as leaves in Yallambrosa,” and it is a matter of far more than corresponding difficulty to trace any of them to any reliable source. This morning, in ac- cordance with an announcement published in the oficial Gazette of yesterday, the Captain Generaf held a levee, the occasion being the saint's day of her Most Catholic Majesty Isabella Segunda, “whom may God preserve,” as read the document. The present head of the island is a supporter of the Queen, and it is well understood that he will recogy nize her authority to the latest moment, though up’ to this time he has received no official communica- tion which would lead him to do otherwise. o Atelegram was received here from Spain by @ leading commercial house on the 8th. This stated, that a federal union had been settled upon, that) Dulce was to be sent as Captain General to Havana, that Cuba was to be opened to free navigation, the liberty of conscience and of the press to be recog’ nined' and the army disbanded. re i The Spanish authorities boarded the steamship Cuba, from New Orleans for Baltimore, on the and seized all American bah that the ne of the pri of the revolution in Spain might nos be known to the le in Cuba. ‘ The Captain General, Lersundi, has the inside track at present with the Spanish fleet in Havana. He allows the fleet but one day’s rations at a tim which obliges them to remain in port for the comf« of the “inner man.” ‘The ancient Mexican chief Santa Anna has been ordered to leave the island, as Fe have heard be Be He is given thirty days to arrange affairs.

An example of this occurred but recently. ‘The Morro Castle, which arrived here on Wednesday last, brought but few letters, and none of those from Europe which had arrived in New York by the Cuba on Tuesday. Naturally much astonishment and an- noyance were felt, It was supposed they had been forwarded by the Alabama, which left New York on the same day. It seems, however, that the mails had been sent to Baltimore, to be forwarded by the steamship Maryland, which, on account of weather, reached here behind her time.
