The Peruvian Secretary of War, Senor Dalvez, 
was among those who were killed by the explo¬ 
sion in the battery. 
The city is reported to be injured but little — 
the batteries giving the fleet all the work which 
it could do. It is thought that the vessels arc to 
badly injured that another attack will not soon 
be attempted. The Peruvians are prepared.

Intelligence received from England to the 
ICtb of May. During the preceding week a great 
panic in financial affairs took place in London 
and Liverpool Failures the most gigantic6eem 
to be the order of the day. We notice failures 
ranging from £80,000 to £12,000,000! Doth 
HouseB of Parliament and the English press and 
people denounce Spain for the bombardment of 
Valparaiso. Gratitude is expressed to Commo¬ 
dore Rogers of the U. 8. Navy, for the part be 
took in the affair. The conduct of the U. S. in 
the Fenian matters is satisfactory. Austria will 
soon have 900,000 men in the field. The troops 
destined for Mexico are to be sent under the 
French flag. A number of reigning German 
Sovereigns have bad a conference in Wurtem- 
t>urg, Prussia is preparing for war. Orders 
have been issued from Constantinople to raise 
the army to its full strength, and to call out the 
reserve. Hopes of peace are all being regarded 
as illusory. It was expected t hat 200,000 Austri¬ 
ans would be fully prepared for war the 15th of 
May. The London Times of May 11, says ‘* tbe 
whole Prussian army is massed along the fron¬ 
tiers ; that Austria Is bringing into tbe field 
every man she can raise; that she is panting for 
war.” The Bavarian and Italian Governments 
are preparing with ail baste for the great strug¬ 
gle, which all seem to think near at hand.

Brazil.— Our Government has received reli¬ 
able information that the Imperial Government 
of Brazil is resolved to open the coastwise trade 
to ships of alt natlous. This concession lias 
been obtained by the Liberal party after a long 
struggle, and it is believed to be an earnest ol' 
future and still more important changes in the 
commercial policy of the country. The opening 
of the Amazon cannot be much longer delayed.

From Peru. 
The city of Callao, a few miles from Lima, 
Peru, was bombarded on the 2d of May, or more 
properly an attempt was made to do so, by the 
Spanish fleet commanded by Admiral Nunez, 
Tbejcuumber of Spanish vessels engaged iu the 
action was six—some of them irou-elads. The 
Peruvians had nine batteries mounted with 
32-pounders, 300-poundcr Armstrong guns and 
450 pounder Blakely rifled pieces. The Peru¬ 
vians also had two iron-elads and three gunboats, 
The Spanish vessels commenced operations 
about noon. The firing of the Pcruvlaus is rep¬ 
resented to have been made with great effect 
during the entire action both by the batteries 
and the iron-dads. Soon after the battle com¬ 
menced, it became evident that, the Spaniards 
were getting very roughly handled. In the 
meantime a battery of two 300-pounder Arm¬ 
strong guns, was blown up, killiug and wound¬ 
ing every one in the vicinity. The Peruvians 
also had a 300-pounder dismounted at the first 
fire, yet they succeeded in crippling several of 
the vessels, and about 5 o'clock the Spaniards 
Tetired out of reach of the batteries. Two of 
the vessels were so badly injured that they had 
to be towed to a place of safety by those less in¬ 
jured. Their loss is very heavy. The Admiral 
is reported to be badly wounded. 
The Peruviana are said to have lOBt. 60 killed 
and 170 wounded.
