they may. II may be a hardship for British ship
pers and captains, that certain classes of peope on
entering the ports Of South Carolina, should be pro
vented from going ashore there. But that State
and every other State, and the whole country have
perfect right to exclude-as police regulation
every individual from whom trouble or agitation or
sedition might be expected, and to prohibit them
from entering on their borders.
The Expected Revolution In South AIMEE
rica-B quador and the South American
Republics.
The republican governments of South America
would appear to take turn from the soil upon
which they have been reared-volcanic, and erup-
tive, and shaky. Spanish volitation and intrigue,
or, as an eminent British statesman calls the latter
'he results of combinations, appear to benfnite in
suggestion, ard variously ramifed. We apprehend
that some time must enpsc and further progrcssonbe
made in the enlightened arts of government, before
the Spanish republics can be said really to exist
to rest upon any secure foundation. The extensive
commercial relations which will, doubt shortly be
opened on the Pacific coasts may have the effect OF
training the Inhabitants of the South American
Continent for the appreciation Of republican inst
tutions.
conflict Of some extent appears to be on the
point Of breaking out in the republics in the north
west part of South America, which comprise Vene-
zuela, New Granada, Ecuador, and Peru. General
Flores is about to invade Ecuador with a large
force, under the auspices of, and assisted by, the
Peruvian government. 1t will be recollected that
Gen. Flores was President Of Ecuador, but, by the
unscrupuousness of the socialists, communists, and
other parties, belonging to the lower classes, he
ad from ha hail in
tutional manner, and before the expiration of his
term Of Office. 1t was, however, agreed to allow
him 500 900 year, and his pay rs military general
of the republic Of Ecuador. One Of the pretended
objects of the party who then assumed the direction
Of affairs, was, in accordance probably with
their Fourrierite notions, to elevate the low
er classes, and thus use them for their purpo-
ses. After while Gen. Navoa was called to the
Presidency, but he was the subject of the
ntrigues on the part Of the reyolutionsts and So
cialists, and at length General Urbina induced
him, under plausible pretexts, to to another
part Of the republic for the necessary transaction Of
certain pretended business connected with his 60
vernment, where he was Immediately seized, placed
on board a vessel, and "spirited away and has
not probably since been heard Of General Ur-
bna thereupon marched to Quito, the capital, and
proclaimed himself Supreme Dictator; and the
adjoining republics in the NORTH New Granada, and
Venezuela, being it is apprehended, also influenced
by socialist tendencies, Urbina received no oppo-
siton, the whole affair, no doubt, being an under
stood and preconcertea movement. One Of the first
acts Of General Urbina was to cut off all the emo
luments and pay Of General Flores as military gene
raj. Selling upon these two points, and remembering
his forcibe and unconstitutional deprivation Of the
Presidency. Flores made successful oyertures to the
conservative governments of Peru and Chill, and
also to the conservative parties in New Granada
and Venezuela, for their assistance to rcnstate him
in the Presidency, though upon what terms and
conditions is mystery; but has fitted up, by the
assistance Of hose republics and the conservative
parties, formidable expedition for the invasion of
ECUADOR, and there is every apparent proba-
bility of success. The conduct of General Flores
during his Presidential administration, and since
that period, does not appear cupable, as far ne is
asscrtained. An he decidedly committed
when he applied to Queen Christina of Spain, for
her aid in fitting out previous expedition, which
was frustrated by the British Government.
Should this expedition be successful, it is more
than probable that revolution of deep ard ex-
tensiye character will break out in New Granada
and Venezuela, in consequence of the predominance
of the conservative party, who will consider that the
ruin Of socialism has been accomplished, and the
ani-slavery agitators and the lowest classes sup
pressed Indeed, there ground for the prediction
of grand revolution throughout all these adjoining
republics attended with all their interesting phases
and results But if General Flores invading expedi-
ton, so well foatered and sustained should be fail
ure, there will probably succeed hot war between
Ecuador and Peru, the latter republic having con.
trbuted its aid to Flores expeditions and the strfes
and attractions which may exist between all the
sour governments may result in general war, both
internally and externally, between the conservatives
and the socialists, and between the republics them
selves. We shall see.
