CHILI. RUMORED INTERVENTION IN MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

Discovery oi 1 a New Gold Field (From the San Francisco Herald.) The intelligence from the South American States is very meagre. From Valparai&o we learn that tbe Chilians are about to offer their services as mediators botween France and Mexico. El Comercio, a newspaper published at Liuiasayrf, that throughout Peru, Chili, Bolivia, Buenos Ayres, Paraguay and Uruguay the deepest interest is felt coucerniuß' the " treacherous hostility " of Nupoleon 111, against the sister republic of Mexico. It a Ids that "if all the ports of the continent were menaced by the Imperial arms tho excitement could not ba greater." From the' Comercio we also learn thnt in Petohunehano, Peru, situated at the mouth of the River Nieva, a healthy and very fruitful region, where immigrants can. take up fi'ie tracts of land, there have been discovered rich goUlfif Us that may cope with tho^e of California and Australia. The rude discoverers ofthis Dorado, without tools for working, aud -nit 1 ! very little labor, collected an ounce of gold daily ; but with the necessary implements they could as tlir v say, have gathered four or six ounces in the same time.
