Abn of General Flores as fresident of Ecuador r irculated President but we do not hesitate A give a pretty long abridgment of its contents, | since detailed news from Ecuador is a scarce commodity, anda wing interest is felt in the progress of the third Colombian Segebliosf we may judge from the operatie: on the Stock Exchange Among other omissions made in the abridgment are the ratifications of both treaties, which of course are merely formal: — “Ip merch last year au insurrection broke out in Quayaceil, Se pect of a province of Ecuador on the Pacific; it was led by a per named Senor Zambo Roca. Reca being convicted of seditious acts, had been ordered out ofthe country by the sentence of the proper tribunal, but with the aid ofa large sum of | money contrived to corrupt a com ef Artillery quartered at Guayaquil, on t e expulsion be- ing carried into effect. What is called a pronunciamiento followed, throwing off obedience to the Government, and declating the province independent. “The presive wot, General Flores (who had been elect- ed President for eight years in 1843, by the unanious suff: rages of the people), sent down from Quito, the capital of Ecuador, a few 8 to quell the insurrection, but it being the winter or rainy season, they could not get into the town, the adjacent country about Guay aquil being flooded for many leagues du: ‘the months of February to July,. The rebels had seized upon all the canoes and oats on the river, so there was no getting at them by this channel; the troops of the Government therefore went into cantonments at the Elvira, an estate of the President’s situate at the head of the river, there to await ‘until th subsiding of the waters sheuld permit of access to the town. “ The rebels, inthe meantime, pressed the people into their ranks, and emboldened by the delay of the Govern- ment force, ventured aoe river in the boats to attack them before they should be reinforced; they were mis erably beaten, and some hundreds who landed were thrust back into the river at the point of the bayenet and drowned. They came up a second time, and were again repulsed with great slaughter. The President, ever generous and humane, did not witness unmoved thi truction of the passive and ignorant people over who' welfare he had ever been a vigilant guardiaa, by who he was adored, and whose prosperity he would have se- cured by the most enlightened measures had he net been constanily thwarted inhis views by the seditious con- Fant of this same truculent incendiary, Roca, and a yw others of the same blighted and bro! reputation, who found in the indolent action of the Jaws and weakness of the executive eerrer time to carry out their insurec- tionary plans w: Lae A Thus in the year 1843, President Flores having ‘and ob‘ from the Con, ¢ that * power to levy a small tax on the people (the ‘of Ecuador pay no taxes), inorder to secu pealtivs ‘amount of money to be solely and ex- olusively a oe to the payment of interest to t! British bondbolders, and to restore by this means aque paper is | | pertien, of the lost credit of the country, Mr. Z oca raised the standard of revolt and rebellio: the decree of the Congress and the measu: Government for carrying that decree into effect, and in this manner was retarded a settlement with the’ foreign creditors notwithstanding the anxious desire of the Pre- sidentto do them justice, and at the same time to release the country from the stigma of dishonesty and ingrati- tude which still continues to disgrace it. The late law of ublic credit lished by Roca will convince the dholders of what they have to expect from such a tyre. To return to the rebels of Guayaquil; | shall brief- ly state that the President, although at the head of an army firmly devoted to him, an: rpg his ancient comrades, the veterans of Bulivar, resolved to spare the effusion of blood in a civil contest which had no other foundation than the predatory views of Roca and the geng of smugglers by whom he was surrounded and sup- ported. The President, moreover, not unwilling thatthe people of Guayaquil should see their leaders in their true cofours, when bis own influence inthe coun- try could not be felt or misinterpreted. He therefore de- sired that respectable persons of Guayaquil ehould be selected to enter into a treaty or convention which sbeuld put an end to the contest, and at the same time enable him to indulge in his long cherished desire of visiting Europe. However magnanimous or humane the pelicy of this step, it has been much blamed by the other Pp. svinces of Ecuador, whose inhabitants as w: as the m dn body of the Government forces, only received and only consented toa treaty with the rebels in obedience to the wishes of the President. The following is a copy of that treaty, and the President’s proclamation upon his departure for Furope:— TREATY. “ The Provisions] Government of the Equator on tae one part, and on the other his Excellency General Juan Jose Flores, wishing to avoid the continuation of a war whieh would cause great and grievous ills, have resoived to enter intoa treaty, which will put an end to the pre- sent dieastrous contention. In consequence they have named their respectlve commissioners, viz, on the part of the Provisional rnment, Messrs.

In utter disr ard of the customs of civilized bein; and of the Gieastrous consequences of such bar! im, not on- ly did Roca break every article of that treaty by his most atrocious persecution of the loyal supporters of the government, but he also, by the public act of a meet ing assembled, ad hoc, in December following (last De- cember,) annulled that treaty formally, and had himself named President of the State. The insane assemblage which declared that treaty null and void. could do no more to destroy their own pretensions to legality. By this act General Flores is released from all and every obligation he had contracted by the treaty. He reasumes his position as the constitutional President of Ecuador, and with it all the obligations annexed to that office. He is bound by every moral and political principle to sup- press the barbarous faction that Layee? and disgraces the country, which he himself called into political ex- istence. This alone is the object he has in view; the neighboring States have nothing to apprehend from Pre- sident Flores, the whole tenour of whose private and public life atfords ample guarantees for the future.” Austis-Friars, Oct. 21. “ My Lord:—The committee of the South American and Mexican Association take the liberty to address your lordship in consequence of the proceedings now active- ly going forward tor the purpose of sending a military expedition from Spain against the republic Ecuador. “ ‘Phis armament is got up for the avowed purpose of restoring the political administration of the country into the hads of au eminent individual who, for several years, exercised the office of President of that republic, but who has for some time past ceased to do so. “ ‘The committee do not presume to offor any remark on the merits or position of the respective political par- ties inthe republicin question, with which, as British subjects, they have nothing to do; but this’ proceedin prasents for the first time since the republics of Spanis| have established their independence the specta- joreign force being brought into the country in aid and support of one of the political parties struggling therein.

Lonvon, Oct. 24, 1846. A LOOKER-ON. VENEZUELA. Venezuela, previous to its actual existence as a nation, was one of the three sections that formed the Integral Republic of Columbia in South America. The other two sections were New Grenada (whose capital, the city of Bogota, was the seat of government,) and the Equator. Gen. Bolivar (then the President of the Republic of Co- lombia,) had confided the military command of Venezu- ela to Brigadier General Jose Antonio Paez, and that of the Equator to Major General Juan Jose Flores, while himseli (Bolivar) was the commander-in-chief of the ar- my, and the actual President of the Republic, although temporarily divested of the executive power, which de- volved on the then Vice President, General Santander. Under these circumstances, in 1826, Gen. Paez, in Vene zuela, for some of his despotic acts, and transgressions of his limited powers, was accused to Congress by the city council of Caraccas, backed with a strong and numerous- ly signed representation of the principel citizens and corporations of said city, demanding his removal, and punishment for abuses of power The merits of the ac- cusation seemed sufficient for Congress to call General Paez to aj forthwith to answer ths charges and vin- dicate himself.

This blunder of Bolivar, as he afterwards frankly acknowledged, was the cause of his a ture death: for no sooner had Bolivar returned tofBogota, than Paez organized, perfected and achieved his plan of reparation, employing the great mental hm ng of Imwyer Pena in calumniating and misrepresenting Bolivar and his real views.

The teamer was signalized a little before 5 o'clock, when | immediately went to the lograph Office and awoke the operator, who slept there. On giving him information that the steamer was below, he at once began to work his machine, and after the lapse of about fifteen minutes, said he had given notice in Springfield of the Britannia’s arrival, with directions for the operator at that place to communicate with New York, if possible, and with all the stations on the line, as it was expected the wires would be cut. About three-quarters of an hour after this, a person, whose name | have been told was Keith, came to inquire if the steamer’s arrival had been an- nounced at Springfield, and was told that it had been. He immediately left, but shortly returned with another per- son, whom I understood was Mr. Norton. Nearly an hour had been spent in unsuccessful endeavors to com. municate with New York, when I concluded to, and did send messages to Mr. Noyes and Mr. Chapin, of Spring: field, to have messengers ready to carry the news from that point to New York, by way of Hartford and New Haven, and by way of Albany and the telegraphic line from that city.

We know this to be a fact, and we did not know that any other causes exist, which, of themselves, would induce the idea of resignation. It may be proper to sup- pose that interests both of a public and private nature will have due welt with Mr. Gardiner in determinii what course he will adopt in this matter. The dissent o!

Washington retired ; his ite andcharacter was a phenomenon; it was distin- guished for a brilliant dignity, an inflexible integrity, and a combination of opposite elements of character, never before united in any individual, and unparalleled in the history of the world. He retired with a convic- tion thathe had done his duty, and if the long line of statesmen who have succeeded him in the edministra- tion of the government could have retired with the same conviction, sustained as his was by the “eternal years” of truth, and the applause of the world, how much more sublime and unapproachable would have been the position of America, comparison with the other nations of the earth. But his successors have not retired with that conviction; they cannot retire with they retire pledged to the support ef the inter of a party, and not the interests of the whole ion of the mighty body politic ; they are not distinguished for fe a or comprehensive views, or for a magnanimous self sacrifice to the public honor and the national character. So long as these things are #0, 80 long the North and the South will be “ divided against itself,” and their quasi ‘‘union” may finally “fall.” That apposite and sublime sentiment, at the head of this letter —‘ liberty and union, now and forever, one and inseparable”—exhibits a distinction among the successors ot Washington without parallel, and creditable to the man who uttered it, and to the country which gave him birth.
