A Timely Hint in the Ecclesiastical Regulations
Rule-The Question Of Territorial Boundary
neAnition-Bolivian Diplomacy.

LIMA, July s. 1874.
On the ID inst. General Mariana Ignacio Prado,
the hero OF the I'd OF May, 1885, when the Spanish
fleet was defeated in Callao Bay, arrived at that
port from Chill, where he has resided for the past
six years. The General is the Deputy from Callao
to the Congress to assemble in Lima on the 2sth Of
this month, and has also received the appointment
of Envoy Extraordinary OF the Republic to the
Court Of st. James, step the part OF the Presi-
dent that excited considerable comment among
the quidnuncs. 1t Is generally thought tnat
Prado solicited the distinguished post; but
some anirm that the government, fearful
OF his great prestige, proposed removing him from
the scene OF any attempted action. However, he
does not leave Lima until after the opening OF
the Legislature, and may delay his voyage to
Europe for many months. His reception was ex-
ceedingy nattering People OF all classes nastened
to do him honor, but with his characteristic mod
esty he declined any public manifestation. In
ernment would do well to reject on the cause of
Prado's long sojourn In Chill. Defeated in the
revolution which was provoked by his attack on
the then existing ecclesiastical regulations, he
found himself absolutely without friends or sup
porters, and sought refuge IN Valparaiso Mr..
subject from the apparent collapse OF the Arequpa
affair aud the silence with which a despatch from
the Bishop OF the diocese was received.
TIE RELATIONS TOWARDS BOLIVIA.
Dates from BOLIVIA reach up to the 18th June.
The approaching session OF the National Assembly
was the absorbing .opic OF the moment, ana the
questions to be submitted to It's deliberations are
OF most important character, sucn as final
arrangement OF boundary with the Argen ,lne
Republic, and II possible, with Chill; the budget for
the biennial municipal organization gives to the
diate local Governors; thorough reform in the
system OF administering justice, and last, but not
least, the consideration Of several railway pro-
Jects--one from La Paz to the Lake Titicaca,
another to cross the great deserts, stretching
from the coast to the capital and a third for the
construction OF road connecting La Paz with the
Peruvian frontier near Tacna.
LEGISLATIVE INDEPENDENCE.
Dr. corral, the bugbear OF the present govern
ment, Is member ri Congress. Some ill-advised
friends OF the Provisional President had succeeded
in obtaining warrant for the arrest OF the
troublesome senator when the Minister OF the In
terror issued decree declaring that all Con-
gressmen during the session Of that body arc ex-
empt from the consequences OF legal processes,
and that Dr. Corral was at perfect liberty to visit
the capital, discharge his duties and would be re-
spected by the government. This conduct was
warmly appiauded and has already produced
position and auRmenting the confidence OF the
people as to the constitutional proceedings OF the
President.
THE MINISTER OF TIE ARGENTINE CONFEDyRA ALTON
the Minister OF the Argentine Coniedera tion,
Don jose c. Urriburn, presented his credentials
on the Stn OF June, aud In his remarks declared
that his government was animated by the most
cordial feelings towards Bolivia being highly de-
sIrous OF finally adjusting the boundary lines be-
tween the two republics In the frlendllest manner
possible. and that such was the prime Object OF
his mission. President Frias replied shat EoItyta
would be found equally favorable to a satisfactory
settlement OF the Question and that ne was ready
to immediately open negotiations tending toward
the desired end.
This will remove one cloud from the Bolivian
horizon. The country was at perfect peace.
