objects to the dispatch addressed by the latter

been given publicity. DR.. Calderon informs
the public, for the first time, that he was once
ON the verge OF making peace, but failed to do
SO owing to the Chilans sugmenting their de-
mands. The following are the more interest
ing paragraphs OF this document: II must

In discussion many things may be said which
cannot be consigned 10 paper. So that, had
you consulted me as TO the terms of your letter
to Gen. Montero, should have begged you to
have modified them, and especially that you
should have stated therein that at the end of
October last you gave me the ultimatum Of
the Chilian government that accepted 1t,
and that, II peace was not then made, it was
because the government subsequently modified
its own conditions and rendered them more
onerous. This fact you pass over by saying:
