GUAYAoUIL.
Translated from FL Convencal December 9Th, 1850
1t was reported that General Elizalde, on the
25th of November, had conducted an expedition
against Manab. in order to take possession of that
city. II was said, also, that the deputies of
Manabi, Caenea, and lmbabura, will not attend
the convention, which will not be able to do any
10, Of
gull, that paper adds that II is difficult not TO say
impossible, to believe such thing, and hopes that
the deputies to the national convention will fulfil
the mandate given to them by the vote OF the
people.
We find in the same paper the following notice :
" Senior Vncente Martin wishes to know the re-
American whaler Franklin, in 1887. Any infor-
nation of Captain Davis, or of his sister, Pamela
Davis, who is supposed TO reside near the Hudson
river, will be received with interest by Senior Vim
cente Martin, at Gusyaqall."
BOLIVIA.
We have news from this country to the 4h of
November.
General Balvian, according to an order of the
government, had been obliged to leave Bolivia. He
went TO Jujuy with his friend, Senior Linares. The
peace of the country was perfect, and business
active.
The Neigh6or, of the 23d of November, SAYS
ID - n
Baliyian was net captured, as former report
stated. A decree had been published forbidding 10
cut bark during the next three years, in order
that the trees might grow"
The 10th of December was the day appointed for
the election Of President of the republic.
Lima continued to be at the mercy Of thieves,
who lad plundered all the converts. There is not
a night without four or five alarms. The govern
ment, without means OF repression, is unable TO
protect the citizens against these robbers-three
hundred in numbcr-periectly well armed and
organized.
''The elections were 10 come The
police in Lima were making exertions to prevent
| the crimes which have been of such frequent oc-
currence, but not with very satisfactory results.

ing the right of union, created profound sensa-
ton. Numerous meetings were org aniZed in so me
of the principal cities addresses were sent 20 the
ministry, who immediately took repressve mea-
sures. An insurrectionai movement occurred IN
the province Of Aconcagua, and the people took to
arms. The government made some illusory pro-
misses; but when the insurrection OF AcOBcagua
appeased, and order restored, II declared the
provinces of Aconcagua and Santiago under mar
tial law. This measure was received with great
disspprobation by all the country, and the papers OF
Valparaiso are unanimous i'll blaming the autho-
rites.
The Naghber, of the 23d of Nov says
The Comreio states that on the lith inst. at
A five political prson arrived nj this port from
Santiago, under an escort Of % men, and were en-
barked on board the frigate Chile. Their names
are Los - nores Las,arria. Larrachea Lilo ipio-
Ia aud Guerrero. Since thes, Lsstarria has been
allowed TO come shore on bail, and 10 Ia be al
lowed TO go TO Peru. On the i9h Senior Alemparte
arriN ed in town under similar arrest.
The Nagh5or, OF the Tth OF November, says -
" We cannot do less than express our regret that
any events should have occurred causing disagree
ment between the local authorities and North
American interests. And we trust such justice
will prevail on the one side, and frendliness on
the other that all cause Of dissatisfaction will be
speedily removed. So far as we can learn, the
| case stands thus
"The American shipAddison, captain Lawrence,
arrived at this port from Tacahuano, with cargo
of oil At the latter port the captain had shipped
four men, three of whom were natives ard one a
Frencbman. After her arrival at this port, these
men forwarded complaint 10 the captain of the
port to the effect that they were not well treated
/ nor well IL d. and wished 10 leave the ship. Sub
ssguently this officer went on board, and demanded
| OF Captain Lawrence that he should give up these
men, and, indeed, that be should send them IN
\ his own boat on board the f1yate Chile. This
/ Captain Lawrence did, unwillingly, as he says,
snd with remonsrance; but the captain Of the port
/ seys he did il with full consent. The next morn
ing he Chile sailed early, At about Elk o'clock,
on the day following, by the United S,ates Consul,
his cxcelency expressed profound regret at what
| had occurred, saying ihat II the Chile were here
he would restore the men at once, and Offering TO
supply their places by sending tour others on board
He sta ed that be.bsd been altogether mlsinformed
and therefore had given the order in the case The
matter has now been reported IN full TO the Ane-
rican minister al Santiago, and there awaits ad-
4 justment.
al TO be regarded as an unfortunate affair, and
none the less so from the exiIemtly disagrerable
! position in which II has placed General Blanco
I himself The principle can never be allowed that
vessels Of foreign flag are liable 10 have their
/ crews tahen from them by the authorities Of The
/ port, on any pretence whatever, except through
permission of the consul OF the country whose
fisg the vessel carries. The power to discharge a
\ man lies with him, and with him alone. Aud If
our view OF the facts IL the correct one, the govern
ment will certainly not sustain such an interference
a. this has beca, but viii pronounce It entirely IN
! wsrrantable.
Further we hope the mos, moderate and ami
cable counsels will prevail. IL is 70 maintain prin-
I ciple that such movements should be resisted,
and no minor motives should be allowed to
| have weight The idea OF laying claim TO heavy
4 images IL injudicious and unjust, aad II done
would be oppressive. II - true the officers OF the
! 4 cal government have committed grave error IN
/ impressinq these msns there can be little doubt
I q out that. But IL that error " Acknowledged,
a the assurance given that such interference -
sustained. and will not be repeated, we hope
ose Interested will ask nothing more"
