CHILI AND PERU. New York, December 2.

The Spanish Admiral Pareja continues to threaten to bombard the Chilian ports, without daring to carry the threats into effect. He announces that the blockade was to be restricted to six principal ports — Valparaiso, Catdera, Coquimbo, Herredow* (?), and Talcahuano. All others are left open to commerce. This new arrangement affects the interests of foreigners exclusively, and is an acknowledgment of the illegitimacy of the former blockade, and leaves his Government subject to the claims of neutrals in* jured thereby. Postal communication with the Chilian ports has been resumed. At Panama several destructive fires had occurred. Dates from Valparaiso say the revolutionary forces in Peru had triumphed, and peace was restored. The overthrown President took refuge on an English man-of-war, and departed on his way to Panama. Lima was captured on the morning of the 6th November by the revolutionary troops. No resistance was made except by 400 troops on the Plaza, where the palace was threatened. The palace was tired, and narrowly escaped destruction. Fort Santa Calina held out, under the orders of the Minister of War, who expected aid from Pezet. The latter, however, marched towards Callao the next day, and the fort was captured. Th 9 new President Canzero sent a demand for the surrender of Callao that night, and Reveisa abandoned the post. The city was soon in possession of an excited mob, who, dividing into bands, robbed and plundered every principal shop and store in the place. What property could not be taken away was destroyed. Immediate steps were taken by the citizens and foreigners for their protection. The next morning Pezet's army appeared outside the town, but before night he, with some officers, escaped to an English man-of-war. The next day the fleet yielded, and order was restored in Callao, Lima, and CaDzero. Those in charge of the new Government will doubtless repudiate the treaty with Spain, and make common cause with Chili, the overthrow of the Spanish treaty having been the cause of the revolution.
