A despatch, dated Panama, 3Sist ult., says :—‘‘ [t is reported that Minister of War, Saloymayor, who is a law- yer, undertood to surprise the Peruvians, mear Moc uagua, with four regiments of in- fantry, but was drawn iato ambush by the Peruvians, and fiad ons of his regiments eut to pieces, the Chilians losing 1500.

Hring tie engagement off Arica, Febru- wary, 27th, itis stated thatthe Chiltan iron- clad Huxscar suffered severely losing 25 killed ancl wounded, including the captain and two officers. Another Chilian ironclad bombarded Arica, domolishing several houses, and killing a number of women and chiliren Peruvian Government assumed the respon- sibility of all paper money then circulating in compensation for debt dua by the Gov- ernment to the Associated Banks of Lima. The government now order the Bank to redeem in silver, at the rates then issued, and promise that the debt can- celled in 1877 will be paid to the Banks in silver. Silver is scarce, and the new order has caused a panic. [¢ is reported that England has. expresssed to the Chilian Governm ont its profound displeasure with its mode of warfare against Peru and Bol- ivia. T):e Chilian gunboats, on March 14, destroye | loading apparatus, launches and lighters at Labos, Guano Islands ; the men were allowed to» disombark and plunder the extensive store of Loading Co., which is an English enterprize.

Panama papers of the Sist have two ac- counts of the recent battle at Moqueqa. One atates that the Peruvians surprised the Chil- jans and slaughtered a whole regiment, driv. ing others to the main body of the Chilian army some miles distant. Another report states that the Chilian army attempted to sur-

rise the Peruvians, but were armbuscated and badly routed. Out of 1,200 men in a crack regiment, only, 67 escaped. Total loss of the Chilians was 1,390 killed, besides wounded and prisoners. Ten thousand troops hare been ordered to reinforces the Chilians. ee

His career has been an emi- nent one, and by a great majority of his 1 to be regarled with the respect due one of the most dis- tinguished of statesmen. The article con- cludes, ‘‘ If Gladstone remains outside of the ministry it will be impossible to consti- tute it ona thoroughly stable basis.”
