SPAIN AND THE (211INCIIA ISLANDS.—A circular
has been addressed by the Peruvian Minister for
Foreign Affairs to the diplomatic agents of the Republic
abroad, dated Lima, August 13, conveying the impression
produced on the Peruvian Government by the announce-
ment by the late Cabinet of Madrid of its views with regard
to the occupation of the Chincha Islands. " Previous in-
telligence" (says the circular) " had led to the belief that
Spain would act as became a civilised nation, and that sho
would at once disavow the insult offered by her representa-
tive, restore the property seized, and do everything in her
power to repair the injury done. The speech of Senor
Pacheco in the Senate has, however, dispelled this illusion;
for while declaring that the Spanish Government recognises
1 the independence and sovereignty of the American States,
and disavowing the principle of rovindication, he seeks in
subsequent events the juetification of a prior outrage—viz ,
the seizure of the Chinches, and by so doing admits that
Sfnor Salazar has been the cause of complications more seri-
ous than those he was commissioned to settles He refers to
the strange history of the Spanish commissioner's voyage
from Callao to Panama, speaks of tho attempt on his life as
the undoubted act of Peruvian di izens, and as bsiag, in all
probability, instigated by the Peruvian Govermuuut. That
this is Senor Pacheco's belief may b 3 gathered tram his
declaration that ' Spain will not feel satisfied upon this point
until the Government of Peru shall have made it clear as
noon-day that it had no hand in the attempts referred to.'
Peru, says the dispatch, will never consent to ho thus placed
upon its trial, to prove its innocence of accusations at once
too puerile, and too monstrous to be discussed.. Serious as
is the injury inflicted upan Peru by the outrage of the 14th
of April,
the stigma which the Spanish minister has at-
tempted to fix upon the republic is much more so. But
Peru better understands what is due to her owndignily and
honour. She is Conscious of having acted in strict accord-
ance with her laws, and with the courtesy required of a
civilised nation; and she cannot forget that she is a soves
reign and independent etate, possessed of all the sigh's en-
L joyed by other Powers.'':
