a public testimonial OF the national gratitude. In
these occurrences no loss OF life took place.
One incident happened which is well worth men,
tioning. and which clearly shows the spirit OF the
Peruvian soldiers. Two guards were stationed on
the MOLE and although when the immense wave was
seen approaching, and threatening death to all,
every person in the vicinity fed in terror these two
soldiers remained at their posts and, though over
whelmed and buneted by the water, still continued
impassaby performing their duty, waiting, as they
afterwards said, for relief.
The effect OF the earthquake along the immediate
southern and northern coasts has been very severe
The Chnchas and the cities OF lea and Psco, on the
adjacent mainland, we're handled roughly, and In
lea more than forty houses were overthrown.
The number OF lives lost at that place will not exceed
twelve. The guano has not been injured All the
churches in the capital are thronged with persons
praying for the Divine mercy, and the almost entire
population of Callao have left their homes and are
seeking safety in this city.
The business houses OF Lima have lost very heavily
owing to the destruction Of their branches along the
coast The house OF william Gibbs Sons lose more
than s1,Ooo.ooo.
The government estimates the damage done TO
cities and private property at three hundred million
dollars.
Money and aid have already been despatched TO
the scene OF the calamity. subscriptions are opened
in Lima, all the establishments for making bread,
crackers. &C. have been placed at the disposal OF
the government, and many private citizens have
given large amounts for the relief Of the ruined
people.
To those who have ever felt severe earthquake
the FIRST experience OF the movement is particularly
alarming The foreigners here regard these convul-
sions with extreme dread and disgust, and. like all
invisible foes, the terror caused by It Is extreme.

THE EARTHQUAKE IN ECUADOR.
Thirty Thousand Lives Lost and Number Of
Towns Destroyed.

GUAYAQUTI, August 90, 1868.
ON the 10th Of the present month there occurred
in the provinces OF Pichincha and Imbabura a tre-
mendous earthquake, unequalled in the history Of
Ecuador. The towns Of Ibarra capital OF the pro-
vince OF Imbabura, san Pablo Atuntaqui, Imantad
&C., are in ruins. Where Gotacachi was Is now

quake and Its effects have been proportionately
less, but the buildings are so much injured that the
slightest movement will throw them down.
There are already in ruins the church and
convent OF san Augustin, the two churches OF
Se1ora del Carmen the towers OF the cathedral and
San Marcos the college OF San Luis, &C. The towers
OF the other churches, the government palace and
many private houses have been all cracked, and are
momentariy threatening TO fall to pieces. The towns
adjoining Quito Perucho, Puearo and Cachiguanjo
have almost entirely disappeared. The number Of
deaths In Quito has fortunately been very small but
in the other towns IL Is calculated that not less than
10000 have perished The few who are left unn.
ured in these places have been unable TO assist those
remaining alive or dying under the ruins and have
been obliged to ny from the stencil OF the dead bodies
which commenced to purify and infest the atmos.

Letters from Quito bring dates to the 10th,
up TO which time the earthquakes continued at In
teryals of few hours. II has been impossible yet
10 obtain data as to the Of the terrible pheno.
mena some attribute 1t to the volcano OF Agualongo
and other to Cayambe.
The news which has been received in Cuayaqul up
TO the sailing Of the steamer has been forwarded
under the influence Of great fright and probably
NAV not be quite correct. The next steamer will
convey fuller accounts, but they may be even worse,
for in quito nothing was known Of the fate OF the
neighborng towns either Of Eucador or Colombia

various times between the 18th and 1oth and another
at later date, but II did damage. The first lasted
forty or nifty seconds, the direction being from east

wade all classes, as since the 10th there have been
repeated Shocks more or less intense and few dwell
ing houses are cons idered to be SAFE The inhabi-
tants are congregated In and about the large
squares, into the middle Of which they rush on the
slightest alarm. Most OF the principal families have
fed the city and have gone In southern direction
where the effects of the earthquake least felt
The news from the north OF the republic Is most
dreadful. The towns of Ibarra Otavalo Pincho, San
Antonio, &C., with nearly ali the haciendas arms) in
the province OF Imbabura, have been completely
destroyed and the number of deaths is computed at
between twenty and thirty thousand. No such EARTH
quake has occurred in America during the present
century, with the exception Of that Of Mendoza in
1861. ~
In consequence Of the repeated and constant oscil
laton Of the EARTH and the consequent insecurity OF
the dwelling houses, have with my family taken
up my quarters in tent in the middle Of the square.
1t is not yet ascerained the humber Of deaths here
the ruins have not yet been cleared, but FORUM
ately they not considered to be many. The vol.
cano which has caused these disasters is believed to
be the Cotopaxi, situated in the province OF Imba'
bura, at about fifteen leagues, as the crow flies,
from Quito. We have already heard OF the death Of
the members Of most OF the rich families of Quito.

clared by Congress to be supreme while
that state of things exists. Its true that
the civil courts have been gradually
brought into use, but they must be under
the control of the military authorities.
At the close of active hostilities the
President undertook to legislate without
Congress. The question was, How are the
southern States to be treated Z, a portion
Of Congress, headed by Mr.. Stevens, were
not disposed to treat the conquered peo-
ple as rebels; he wanted to treat them
only as conquered enemies. Another
branch of the Government, the President,
TO use his own words to me- said the
Judge wanted to have the rebels indicted
for treason and punished as traitors. His
policy was to treat them as aliens. The
President has since changed ground, and
wants to treat them with great leniency.
Congress has remained firm, and is still
desirous to treat them as in q state OF
seige, and to govern them by military
power. R
On the merits of this case the court
considers that we are still in a state Of
siege until Congress shall declare peaces
and holds that this court has not the power
to take from the military authorities any
prisoner held by them. It will therefore
dismiss the proceedings, and remand the
prisoner to the custody of Major Vance,
commander of the Libby prison.
Immediately upon the rendering of the.
decision Judge Ould asked an appeal to
the Circuit Court, and asked that the
court should hear him on the appeal on
Tuesday next; which was ordered. ~
The court then adjourned to this morn
ing at 10 O'Clock.

the excellence of its appointments, and
the superiority of its management, have
all been found out by our people; and we
doubt not but that the season will con-

equal to that of the past. Tonight will
