FoRAEsr's THAArMoAL SPEECH ON THE JuDI-
cIARy.-The recent speech which Mr.. Forrest made
ON the boards Of the Broadway Theatre, in which he
made some alusicns to the courts and jures Of this
city, has created great deal Of remark in various
quarters, high and low. That speech o singular
compound, mixture Of bad taste and bitter truth,
Of a most novel kind.
His illusions to the verdict of the jury in his own
case in court, was in bad taste; so also it very
improper to assert that any number Of crowded au-
diences at the Broadway Theatre, applauding play
ofShakspeare, equivalent to areversal of the de-
csion of jury, under a solemn oath to give true
verdict according to the evidence.
All this was sngularlE out of place. But his allu-
sion to those who attend the theatre many ooca-
sions being the very persons who "make and un-
make judges" was particularly true, and as melan-
choly true. Some of the distinguished personages
who made all the fuss on that last night, were I'M
doubtedy the persons who regulate the primary as
semblies in this city, and manage to control the
nominating conventions in both parties-whgs and
democrats. They do make and unmake judges, and
the more S the pity.
The bitterness of the TRUTH told so boldly and
plumply by Mr.. Forrest from the boards of the
Broadway Theatre, ought to sink deep in the minds
of the people and politicians of this city, fact
which is equally discreditable to the organization
and management Of both the great parties in this
a.

THE rK0oREes OF THE FLORES ExPEDITION-INsULT
TO THE ENGLISH PLAG-THE SWEDISH FRIGAT
EUGKNlE, ETC.
We have received intelligence from Valparaiso to the
2oth Of March, and Guayaqu to the 18th ult The i'd
vices from Ecuador seventeen days later than those
previously received.
The British mail steamship Santiago arrived at Panama
on the 10th ut from Valparaiso This steamer left
Guayaqu the 18th ult, and reported that General
Flores expedition still at the mouth Of the river and
that he had not made any further advances taking
that city.
When the s. went up the river gun fred her
from of Flores vessels The captain did not return
it, but putting steam passed up to the city,
supposed that the object Of this obtain the
Guayaquil mail.
1t reported that the British admiral of the Pacific
squadron with his entire force was at Calao and had
determined to up to Guayaqul, and take Flores in
hand This the report but it is probably incorrect
the admiral would not take Flores in handn except
for cause and the Of the firing into the s. could not
IN any way shape have reached him ut the last
counts.
The of Flores highly probable but he is very
slow in his movements. According to the Daio De pa
paraiso his force amounted to 1886 men, as infantry,
cavalry and artillery with twelve cannon His squadron
consisted of two steamers two square rugged vessels and
twelve small craft Of this force embracing Europeans,
North Americans, Chans, End Peruvians is corps Of
ninety Yankee remen. under the command Of Captain
jackson.
The fear Of Flores friends that the Swedish frgae
at Guayaqni would interfere and prevent the landing Of
the expedition but will be seen by the following that
the captain intends only to protest -
The Swedish ofwar Eugenie CON- Virgin Of 40 guns,
and manned with arrived At this port
