TREATY OF PEACE AND AMITY BETWEEN
THE REPUBLICS "ECUADOR" AND " NUEVA

GRANADA."
The Gaceta de la Nueva Granada of the 2d July last,
just come to hand, contains two very important state
papers, a treaty of peace and amity between that and
the republic of " Ecuador," and a proclamation of
Senhor Thomas C. de Mosquera, president of the first-
named republic, to his fellow-citizens on the gratifying
occasion. General Flores, who was expelled from
" Ecuador 7 we understand, has been endeavouring to
raise recruits in Spain and Ireland-to regain his power.
When he commenced this undertaking, war prevailed
between the two above-named republics, but now that
peace has been re-established, and notice given by the
Consul for New Granada in this country that his Go
vernment is averse to General Flores' proceedings, and
had refused him permission to cross the Isthmus of Pa-
nama, his plans for again disturbing the tranquillity of
the two countries will be happily frustrated.
The following is a translation of the treaty, which
was concluded on the 29th May last, at Santa Rosa
del Charelti, by the representatives of the two Govern-
ments :
" The Governments of Nueva Granada' and Ecua-
dor,' being desirous of re-establishing between the two
republics the amicable ar.d friendly relations which have
been unfortunately interrupted, have agreed to enter
into a convention or treaty, for which purpose his Ex-
cellency the President of New Granada has fully
authorised General Pedro Alcantara Ileum., commander
of the southern division; and his Excellency the Presi-
dent of Ecuador, Senhor Jo 4 Modesto Larrea, his
Minister Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary at
the Court of New Granada, who have agreed on the fol-
lowing articles:—
" Art. 1. Both Governments, anxious to put an end to
all disputes and differences which may have taken place,
agreejointly and severally to the re-establishment of
that good understanding and harmony which formerly
existed between the two republics, New Granada and
Equador, and to a free, intimate, and friendly inter-
course throughout the hole of their respective terri-
tories, as also between the people and Governments of
each state.
" Art. 2. The treaty of peace, amity, and alliance
concluded between New Granada and Equador on the
Bth of December, 1832, shall continue in vigour, and
both Governments will adhere thereto, and will cause it
to be fulfilled in all its bearings ; it being well under-
stood that nothing which has occurred from that day to
this, shall be available us a reason for deviating front
the true intent and meaning of that treaty.
" Art. 3. Both Governments pledge themselves to com-
mence negotiations so soon as possible, and within one
year from this date, for arranging a new treaty of amity,
commerce, navigation, and boundaries, the conditions of
which shall be such as may be best adapted to promote
the mutual advantages of the two republics. They fur-
ther agree to postpone the ratification of the treaty en-
ter( d into at Bogota on tha 20th of January, 1845,
which has already been approved of by the Congress of
New Granada. -

" Art. 4. With respect to giving up accused persons,
agreeably to the 11th article of the treaty of 1832, the
criminal courts and justices of the peace of the respec-
tive republics shall understand each other, and act ac-
cording to the circumstances set forth by the applicants,
who must specify the law of the country in which the
crime or delinquency may have been• committed, which
would warrant the apprehension and Winging to trial
the person accused ; or, in case of need, one Govern-
ment can require of the other his expulsion.
" Art. 5. The Government of Equador engages to
respect, and cause to be -executed, the sentences and
judgments of the courts of law, civil and criminal, of
New Granada, with respect to any delinquents who may
come under their jurisdiction, having sought refuge in
the territories of the Equador, agreeable to the classifica-
tion or nature of the crime or delinquency established by
the New Granada tribunals, without the least deviation
therefrom. In the same manner the Government of
New Granada engages to respect, and cause to be put in
force, the judgments and sentences of the civil and
criminal courts of law of the Equador, with regard to
any delinquents, who, having sought refuge in the terri-
tories of New Granada, may come under its jurisdiction,
according to the classification and nature of the crime or
delinquency, established by such judgments or sentences,
without any deviation whatever from the same.
" Moreover, when the accused came under the de-
scription of state criminals,', the expulsion or deliver-
ing up, stipulated in the said 11th article of the treaty of
the Bth December, 1832, shall immediately take place,
hut if the offence is classified as purely political, such
expulsion shall not take place.
" Art. 6. The Government of New Granada, and that
of the Equador, as a proof of the security they are de-
sirous of securing to each other for the future, and of the
wish they entertain of drawing closer the mutual ties of
friendship, undertake to prevent on the frontiers of the
respective republics any attempt to disturb the tranquil-
lity of either state. This undertaking must, however,
be construed to extend so' far only as the power pos-
sessed by etch Government, and the faculties afforded
them by the laws would permit.
" The present convention being in strict conformity
with the stipulations contained in the treaty of peace,
amity, and alliance of the Bth of December, 1832, al-
ready mentioned herein, and with the laws of the respec-
tive republics, it shall be carried into effect, so soon as it
shalt have been ratified by the executive power of New
Granada and the Equador respectively.
In testimony of the truth, we have signed and
sealed, with the seals of our arms, this convention in
duplicate, at Santa Rosa del Carchi, this 29th day of
May. 1846.
(Signed) "PEDRO ALEANTARA HERRAN.
" JOSE MODESTO LARREA."
Then follows a decree of the President of New Gra-
nada, Senhor Thomas C. de Mosquera, promulgating
and ordering the above convention or treaty to be duly
observed and executed. Dated, Bogota, the 29th of
June, 1846.
