IM i OKI'AN P FROM 5. AalEKiv -. Termination of Mar bilwtcn Peru and Chili. The New York Journal of Com tnerce says:—“By a letter fromoui correspondent nt Mazatlan, dated Jan. 15th, we learn that the war between Peru and Bolivia, on the one part, and and Chili and B. Ayres on the other, had been brought to a close, and a Treaty of ’ Peace signed and ratified. Our correspondent speaks of having forwarded a copy of the Treaty in company with the letter, but it has not }ret come to hand. We areconsequent y. ignorant of the conditions on which Peace was offered and accepted, or from Winch of the two contending par ties the prosipotion came. Our last pre vious advices, via Buenos Ayres, rep resented the cause of the Protector to be in a bad way; but a good deal ot allowance must be made for false color ing. “This intelligence Was brought to Majitlan by the United States schoon er Boxer, Lieut.
