pressing profound and Illuminating regret that the
Administration did not sooner participate in them.
We trust our friends abroad will give these their

OF American Independence. When the Spanish ships
came here in 1863 they received with jubiant
welcome When the re-assertion Of territorial rights
was declared ON the Peruvian territory, felt that
Spans designs friendly but sinister.

orders be conveniently given; vessels have
been allowed to discharge their cargoes and others have
been allowed to sail to other parts OF Chile to take the
cargoes prepared for them there.
