Tho following circular has boon iasuod by tho
representatives of the Republic of Peru in Europe:
" Gentlemen, —The republic of Peru has been the
victim of one of those great calamities with which Divine
Providerioe in its inscrutable designs at times allots us.
A frightful and indescribable catastrophe such as has been
rarely recorded in the history of past ages, and never in
that of modern times since the discovery of America, has
destr mid a raid and important portion of that republic.
Terrible and prolonged shocks of earthquake, the vio-
lence of the sea the overflowing of the rivers, and devas-
tations by fire, have reduced to ruins cities, ports, towns,
and villages, destroyed the crops, deposited vowels of
considerable tonnage far inland, and terminated in the
recel, frightful manner the lives of bundled& Those who
have escaped the fury of the elements wander in thou-
sands about the country without house or home, without
shelter, and suffering the torments of hunger and thirst in
consequence of the destruction of the crops, and the dis-
appearance of the streams which followed their overflow.
Vain would be the attempt to describe the picture presented
by an important part of Tern, and a:pregame% are wanting
to convey any idea of the scene. The government of the
republic and the inhabitants of the towns which ;have not
suffered by the catastrophe are exerting themselves to the
utmost and employing all human mesas to alleviate as far
as possible the misfortunes of the unhappy inhabitant, of
the south coast, and in this work of humanity they are
ably assisted by the representatives and citizens of foreign
countries who are resident in Peru. The undersigned
justly consider that the Peruvians, Americans, and citi-
zens of other nations who have lived in or had any con-
nections with Peru, will feel real satisfaction in co-
operating to render less bitter the misfortunes of the un-
happy victims of the catastrophe of the I:3th of August,
and have the honour to address you, invoking the senti-
ments of your patriotism and charity, and atfordi? you
the opportunity of contributing to this humane and den-
throre cause. With the ruisuranoe of not having ad reseed
you in vain, they take this opportunity of anticipating,
in the name of the government of the Republic of Pont
and of its inhabitants, their sincere gratitude, and per-
sonal.y the assurance of their consideration and respect.
