Upon this subject the Editor Of the South Amer

the existing differences between the two govern

BY Decree issued by Bolivar, dated ON the

GEN. sUCRE.
Gen. Sucre arrived at GuayaquiI on the Io,h oil

most enthusiasm, and was welcomed to the bosom
OF his country, Of her most ilIustrious sons
While the General was lying at CaiIao, he made a
formal offer Of his services to the Peruvian Gov

oInbia; he stated in his communication, that in
doing this, he put aside all personal fe eIings and
animosity, as he had always done when tho public
good demanded il; and he did il also to convince
the world, that the assertions and calumnies which
had been sent forth against him, as the principal
cause and nsugator Of this war, were without
foundation. His services were refused by the Pc
ruvian government. who state that they will not

Guaysqul papers TO be a little inclined TO adjust
matters, the adyices which he says he has receiy-
ed from Havana. may probably be looked upon as
the cause OF this change in his sentiments.
Gen. Sucre has taken no part in tho sdministra-
ton OF the public affairs of Bolivia, since the in
surrecton of the 18th Of April, until he resumed
his station on the I'd Of Aug, in order to deliver
his Message and remuneration OF the Presidency

his treaty with the Peruyians' The Message has
been recently republished in this place; and, in
our opinion. it is document which would do hon
or TO the Grst statesmen OF the age. The language
Of the Message is at once feeling and manly; he
states that he retires forever from public life, to
the bosom Of his family, where he shall ever pray
