PAITA, Nov. Is, 1863
The Mrasion Of Elias-Ihe Outrage on the Anle-
rioon Consul-Our Relations Nth Peru.
By the steamer of the 2Sth ult., informed you of
the invasion cf this province at the port Of Tumbez,
by Senior Domingo Elias with @the view Of revoIu.
tionizng the republic. Since his escape and the dis
persion Of his party we know nothing definite Of his
movements, although it is confidently asserted by
some that he has been all the time concealed within
six leagues of this place, and even that he has been
here in disguise. Others say that he is making his
way to the SOUTH by the way of the interior provn
ces. know not which of these assertions is the cor
rect one. Several Of his known friends have been
arrested, and are now undergoing an examination In
Tumbez, in which place is anchored the steamer
Rmac. Here we have the war steamer Amaz onas
the largest in the Peruvian navy, which steamer
brought down from Lima a battalion of troops,
although, from appearances, there was no need OF
them, because the attempt OF SeaOr Elias seems to
have been complete ash ia the pan.
Our consul IL TumbeZ, s Oakford, ESQ., sailed
from here Tor Lima in tue steamer of the 18th, in
order to represent to Mr. Clay the dsrespect the
American flag and to himself, the authorities having
MT only fired upon his house. but threatened to put
him in irons and send him to Lima. There is now
quite little budget Of matters and things to be dis
cussed between the government of the United States
and that Of Peru We shall see by the sequel how
Mr.. Pierce fulds the promises which he made ia his
inaugural-which promises, by the way, gl4ddened
the hearts Of all of US who reside in foreign parts
do not think that the supreme government of Peru
has any particular hostility against foreigners neither
find some understrapper disposed to annoy us as
much as may be in his power. The United States
should be firm in its demands for redress Of all griev
ances, but should not forget that in treating with
weaker power it is always well to be magnanimous
