ted Guayaqul, Dec nth confirms the report OF the
death OF Admiral Guise, and gives some particulars
or the action Ill which this unfortunate event took
place.
During our absence from this city, the hlocka-
ding squadron, consisting OF frgate, corvette, a
schooner, and two launches proceeded up to the CT
ty, attacked IT. and, to the shame Of the Coumbians
though the squa Iron had been in their waters for
several weeks, they were taken by surprise, and
the first brcadsdc from the frigate battered down
fort, short distance below the city, which mounted
seven large brass pieces but defended BY only six.
teen men, She sent her boats on shore and spiked
all their gus.
Below the fort Chain was thrown acrors
the river. on which the frigate hung nearly TWEEN.
ty minutes before she could slucken it. and if the
fort had been well manned, and the guns wei
worked the frigate could have been blown 10 pieces
The squadron lay in front of the city three davs anf
fired 5000 shot which did considerable damn re in III,
houses. They endeayored to e.Iec landing in their
boats but were repulsed with great loss. During
the first night, small fort was thrown ND with one
gun placed in it, which directed with good effect
against the irigac, which had grounded nearly oppo-
site, aud it was at this trne that the brave ard
intrepid Admiral Guise was blown to pieces, by his
gun, while standing in the gang way.
