Lima.
- un my arrirat in tiIs city trom a commercial journey into the interior, I felt no small anxiety in regard to the oourse which might have been pursued by the Spaniards in their newly acquired possession of this city, and the castles of Callao. It appears, however, that they have conducted thiemselves in a very moderate manner, having in all in- stances respected English and North American property, with the exception of robberies committed by some Black troops, who were in a state- of insubordination at the first of the affair. These outrages, howevcr, were soon put a stop to by some severe examples having been made, and both property and persons in this respect were probably never more secure than in the present day. " How long the Spaniards will maintain this city is extremely doubful, as it would appear that Bolivar, whe is in Truxillo with a large army, mneans to risk a battle for it. General Canterac has an equal or superior force in Huancayo, about So leagues to the southward of this, and is expected to march upon Bolivar within a very short time. All, therefore, is yet in uncertainty as respects the fate of Lim&. Meantime business is nearly at a stand, scarcely any sales being made except in flour. One of the articles that is likely to command a ready sale hare is glass, of which a pretty large assortment should be sent by every vesssel coming from Germany. Glass of other countries cannot, from its high charge, come into coimpetition with the German glass. Silk velvet is also likely to be an ar- ticle of extensive sale. Other articles we expect a demand for are cotton hosiery, if lowver charged than the English; wax cloth, and German broad cloths. Tkese articies are all in demand in the markets of Clhile. " Owing to the unsettled state of things,but few Foods are landed now and brought to Lima. Instead of which, they are transshipped to other vessels in the port of Callao,and a market sought on the coast for them. Although business is extremely dull here at present, and prices low, owing in a great degree to want of confidence and the fear of change, yet there are but few European goods in the market; and when the event takes place, which we look to as near at hand, business must immediately improve."
