Our Foreign relations. --Dispatches from Mr. Clay, our Minister to Peru, inform the Secretary of State that the government of Peru had rejected the ultimatum of the United States for the settlement of the claims against that country, and that he had demanded his passports and would leave at once for the United States. On the 10th, the day the steamer left for Panama, the demand had not been complied with. Advices from the flag officer of the Pacific squadron gives all the facts in relatiPeru had rejected the ultimatum of the United States for the settlement of the claims against that country, and that he had demanded his passports and would leave at once for the United States. On the 10th, the day the steamer left for Panama, the demand had not been complied with. Advices from the flag officer of the Pacific squadron gives all the facts in relation to the arrest of two naval officers at Panama, from which it appears that the officers were to blame in refusing to answer the challenge of the sentries on duty. Dispatches from our minister to China state that all claims of the United States against China, extending from 1840 to 1857, have been fully discharged under Mr. Reid's commercial convention of 1858. The Governor General speaks in the highest terms of the Americans, and of his desire to continue friendly relations with this country
here have been more discoveries of cotton within the last three months than have ever occurred before since cotton was first heard of. Suddenly and simultaneously with the secession of Southern cotton, the indispensable staple has come to light in Peru, Africa and China. It must be an immense relief to everybody interested in the manufacture of cotton, that, just as the world was in despair about the loss of the Southern supply, there has been a general rush of all the continents and islands of thus be seen, that in announcing new discoveries of sources of cotton supply, our Black Republican yarn-spinners have not met the case. They must amend their fabrications, and announce that "Uplands," "Bowed Georgia," &c., have come to light in Peru, China, &c. We have no doubt they will make this statement as soon as they perceive the necessity of it. Mr.Smith proceeds to state that there is cotton enough in India, "but it is its quality that is in fault, and, as far as the past is a gu
Pirates and the Coolie trade. --The Hong Kong Trade Report, of January 14th, says that at that time there were no less than three foreign vessels loading on that coast with Coolies for Peru or Cuba; and as the anchorages chosen are noted pirate-haunts, there was little doubt that most of the victims were the crews of trading vessels captured by the latter. The cupidity of the pirates is strongly tempted, so long as the Coolie ships pay from $30 to $40 for each captive. This nefarious business is denounced by the Trade Report, not only for its inhumanity, but on account of the encouragement given to piracy, and the in jury inflicted upon commercial interests.
[written for the Dispatch.]our ocean home.the Sabbath on the Atlantic. July, 1860. The grand saloon was crowded — not a seal without its occupant. Even the space between the tables was filled to the uttermost, and many stood in corners, giving their reverend attention to the man of God, who then rose to address them. Met from "all the ends of the earth"--sojourners in California and Peru, bringing home their gold; visitants of China and Japan, with their curiously-wrought treasures; scarcely a State of our great Union that had not its representative; returning emigrants; successful merchants about to revisit the land of their youth; seekers of pleasure, of health and of wealth; the volatile French woman and home loving son of the British Isles; the Spaniard, Italian and metaphysical German; the sea-faring Captain, who had traversed the globe; the ship's company and steerage passengers — all assembled, without reference to rank, or wealth, or beauty — each, as he could find <
From Peru. New York, Dec. 14 --The steamer Star of the West, from Aspinwall, has arrived. The Peruvian Congress had granted extra-ordinary powers to the President for war on Bolivia. Castillo would raise 30,000 men. It was the general impression, according to a Lima letter, that the Peruvians would be whipped.
ll in the Cabildo, which was the most elegant one ever witnessed there. The large vala of the Cabildo was decorated in an exceedingly tasteful style, being entirely tapestried with the flags of different nations, those of the United States, Great Britain. France and New Granada forming a canopy; the supper and refreshment rooms, balcony and stairway, were decorated in a similar manner, the whole presenting a most brilliant display. The band of the Lancaster was in attendance, a gallery having been fitted up for them at the end of the sale. There were nearly sixty ladies, and, upward of a hundred gentlemen present. Among the guests were the Governor of the State, the Intendant, and other authorities of Panama; the Consuls of Great Britain, United States, Peru and Venezuela; the flag officers and commanders of the United States Navy in port, the commanders and officers of H. B. M's ship Mutine, and other persons of distinction. The whole affair passed off most satisfactorily.

under the island, and cannot be seen more than four or five miles off. Important movement of Mexico and the South American Republics. San Francisco, Sept. 10. --Advices from San Luis de Potosi, Mexico, to the 18th of August, furnish us with the following highly important intelligence: President Juarez and his Cabinet have been urged by leading Mexicans and the representatives of the South American Republics to form a continental alliance, embracing the Republics of Chill, Peru, Columbia, the Argentines Confederation, San Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and Mexico, for the purpose of resisting European encroachments on any South American Republic. The United States are to be invited to send delegates to cooperate in the movement. Miscellaneous.

s rule; if the sun, which develops and energizes all the rest of creation, which stimulates, fosters and perfects all plants and all animals, renders humanity effeminate and indolent, we should like to see some evidences of the fact. We do not find that evidence in the condition of the aboriginal races of America when first discovered by Europeans. In the high latitudes, the Indians were rude, improvident and savage; in all the tropical parts of the continent, in Mexico, Central America and Peru, they exhibited forecast, skill, inventiveness, and were surrounded by vast architectural remains, that proved the existence of an immemorial civilization. If we go to the Old World, we look in vain for any illustration of the self-complacent Northern proposition. We find that man was created about the centre of Asia, and we should thence infer that region was the most favorable locality for his full growth and development. We are no bigots on this subject; not extreme, by any means, i

General Lamer has taken Cobria, killing the commander. The President was occupying Potosi with one thousand five hundred men. Peru is at peace; and the new government is being rapidly organized. All the ministers and consuls in Europe, and in the United States, have been superseded; all the officials at home will be suspended and tried for political crimes, unless they have, by acts, proved themselves in favor of the revolutionary party
