particularly encouraging. In fact the administra-
zion Of General Canseco has paid very little attention
to many matters OF that description which will uli
mafely result IN q good deal Of trouble First, the
imbrOgio with the United States OF Colombia ab0nt
the steamer X. r. Cuyler, RayO, as they call her
here. This vessel apparently has no owner, although
she was bought by Perm and guaranteed BY Colon
ba yet she is rotting away in the harbor Of Cartha-
gena without an ofiicer on board. II is supposed
here that Colombia has had more to do with the
ae,enon VI .ne sIeamer tnan sne cares 10
her own rights. Then have this other steam
boat question with Chile, concerning the memOra-
bic corvette contract which does not look IA
smlingly as 1t might, In spite OF Colonel Baia's
published letter to Chilean friend asserting the ex
the sister republic. Finally, the question with
Brazil. This may be divided into two heads:-
First the Peruvian protest against the trpartiteal
secondly the alleged Insult to the Brazilian govern
ment In irado's last message. on account Of which
the Imperial Minister was withdrawn from Peru.
The diplomatic future not very promising Dur
ing the disturbances which took place in the north
OF this republic in January last number of foreign
residents were snamefuly abused, robbed and mai
treated by the revolutionary party acting under the
orders Of their appointed chieifains Among The
citizens, whose claims viii be vigorously
pushed by our Minister here. When re-

more weight with this people than the presence or

was rather too strong for the generality
