man ofwar were at Guayaquil, and had offered their
services to the Ecuadorian government, TO assist
them against Flores.

have yet duty TO perform. W. must inaiot an
exemplary punishment on that government that has
traitorously put arms into the hands of our muir
derers. We or the government Of Peru must cease
to exist. Those Of us who should remain alive
after the defeat Of Flores will march against Peru

that he il merely carrying out his plans fron tse

others again say that ne has been trying % induce

however. can be positively relied on, but the pro-

Respecting the news yesterday received, Q: Flores,
and the ttEvemcnts Of Ecuadcrians and Peruy;ans,
we would take this occasion to say. We have much
confidence in the tact and ability Of Flores, and
though he may appear to be in bad fix, we doubt
not he win make advantageous many circumstances
which appear otherwise Unless he has been very
plish some other OF his ends But il may be tina. he
has been depending upon broken reed. At any
rate, il impossible that we should be certainly
assured at this time. We shall be compelled to

Since our last report the political state Of this
country, nothing Of importance has transpired. The
Congress opens the list Of June, and until then
nothing important can happen. The principal
questions then discussed will be the Santiago and
Valparaiso Railway, and others tending to the
advancement and internal interests Of the country
The late elections OF Deputies in Congress have
passed over peaeeably. and without disturbance in
any part and in confirmation Of our often assert
