IMPORTANT Frog SOUTH AMERICA.

The Panama correspondent of the New Orleans Tic.
ayune, under date of February 10th, speaking of Ecuador,
says
Ecuador is in a truly deplorable condition. With A
hostile fleet in front of Guayaquil without a war ship of
her own with an exhausted treasury a disorganiud,
dscontented army o divided people q weak President,
ruled by UIbina, an ambitious and unprincipled general
her agriculture languishing, because her laboreis are ia.
ken for the army, and her people, consequently, enduring
almost the extreme of poverty, her situation is to be en-.
WED only by the least prosperous of the petty nations Of
the earth.
The same correspondent gives the following informa.
ton in regard to Peru
But Peru is in a very fevcrish condition, and all hands
predict an early termination of the reign of sold Boots, y
MS Castillo is called. Every day or so some conspiracy is
detected, and some conspirators are exiled. As yet, Gas
tilla has been enabled to pay his army and while he
can do this, he is comparatively safe.
1t is said now that Castillo is determined at once to
commence an active war against Ecuador unless she is
soon found upon her knees before him in supplicaton.
But | doubt it much. Both sides are waiting for some
thing to turn up. Ecuador hopes for a revolution in Peru,
and Peru is waiting for a revolution in Ecuador, TO re-
lievc them of the straits they are in.
OF the revolution in Chill the same correspondent
adds
The long takcd.o of revolution has at last fairly broken
out In Chill. On tire 9th January, at Copiapo, n body OF
the people presented themselves at the Quartet of the
soldiers and gen d'arnes with a letter from Don Pedro
Leon Gallo, brother of q member of the CHILEAN Congress,
who has just been condemned to death for alleged at
tempts against the government at Santiago, in which Gal.
10 advised them that the bearers of the note were charged
with causing the balance of the corps to submit to q
new order of things. The revolutionary officer then took
charge Of the Quartet, and barred the gates. Gallo Ws
then proclaimed intendente. The old i~ntepdcnte, SALIVA
Chalcs, after vainly cssayinS to bring his men back to
their allegiance, fed to Chanarcilo, where he attempted
to organize troops. This news created great consterna'
