opportune for me to make, in its name, the following de-
clarations :

"1. That it insists in considering as sufficient satisfaction
the proposals contained in the scheme of arrangementAthe
25th of June last. But these proposals will be considered
withdrawn and as null and void in the event of their not
being accepted within the time which her Majesty's Go-
vernment may fix, and whereof it will give previous no-
tice to the Government of Peru.

"2. That whatever may be the termination and settle-
ment of future events it now again disavows any views of
reconquest and domination in the territory of the Ameri-
can continent.

3. In like manner her Majesty's Government insists upon
not considering the Chinchas Islands as occupied under the
title of revindication, but as a coercive measure to obtain
from the Peruvian Government just redress for repeated
and manifest injuries.
"4. That it is possible it may be obliged to make ulterior
arrangements with regard to the exportation of guano and
the trade in that article in the Chinchas Islands, as much
in order to prevent the Peruvian Government from obtain-
ing by this means resources that might be applied to hos-
tile preparations, as to obtain an indemnity for losses in-
curred or that may arise from the occupation of the Islands
until their future abandonment when the present differ-
ences shall have terminated. But in any case it is contem-
plated to proceed in such a manner that no prejudice may
result to the commerce and agriculture of other nations nor
to the foreign creditors of Peru, who became such under
contracts approved by the Peruvian Congress and published
prior to the 14th of April last, the date of the occupation,
in as far as regards the lien or guarantee that may have
been established in their favour upon the proceeds of
those securities. These obligations contracted and these
securities given, the exact fulfilment of which will be a
point of honour with the Spanish Government, it only re-
mains for me to state, in its name, the profound regret which
it feels in being compelled to commend the redress of so
many offences to the sole means it is possible to employ, when
all ways of negotiation being closed the natural limits of
endurance and prudence are reached. Though an inde-
pendent Government may place in jeopardy the destinies
of the land to which our ancestors carried the blessings of
civilisation and Christianity, at least the countries in past
times the theatre of the prowess of Spaniards should not
now become the scene of continued and unpunished affronts.
The bonds of a domination which no one dreams of or has
an interest in re-establishing being for ever broken, may
they soon be replaced by the ties of friendship and com-
merce, the only link that will maintain and strengthen mu-
tual respect for the rights and interests of both nations.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Jan. 6.

MARYLEBONE. - EXTRAORDINARY FRACAS. - A

stylishly-dressed woman, named Elizabeth Irvine, aged 21,
Elm-villa, Elm Tree-road, St. John's-wood, of no occupa-
tion, was charged with violently assaulting Miss Elizabeth
Hyde, and also further charged with breaking the arm of a

Mrs. Mary Wright.
Mr. Lewis, Ben., of Ely-place, and Mr. Pain, of Maryle-
bone-road, appeared for the prisoner.
The case seemed to create a good deal of excitement
amongst the denizens of St. John's-wood, by whom the

court was crowded. All witnesses were ordered out oi
court. The first witness called was

Elizabeth Hyde, who said,—l reside at 20, Elm Tree-road,
St. John's-wood. This lady (prisoner) came to my gate
last night. My dog, which is harmless, was there. She

came on horseback and beat it. She came in at the hall-
door, and I thought she was a friend of Mr. Jarvis's, next
door. I asked her what she wanted, and she said my dog
had torn her riding habit. She called me all sorts of names.
She was told to go out, and struck me with a stick. She
was perfectly intoxicated. Mr. Jarvis told her to come in

and he would see if he could settle it. My carter was at
the door, and I showed him to the back where the corn-room
was. The coachman had gone for a policeman. She tore
my clothes and beat me unmercifully, and two men who
were with her kicked me. lam bad now. They broke my
sister's arm. She said that I walked the streets with my
sister seven years ago. Two men beat us, and I have wit-
nesses to prove it. She is a very wicked woman, and a
nuisance to the neighbourhood. _ _ _
