Ail the old guano depositor are clean swept of Penguin Island, and the two last deposites which have ‘been discovered are the Island of Tova and Isla de Leon, which lie in the bay of St. George, and the reason these two islands escaped the guano hunters so long is on ao- count ¢f there [oan seat fect of earth on the tup of the gueno, and, from hearsay, I believe it to be inferior in quality to what has been sent heretofore; and I do not think any cargo of the rame has gone to England as yet: but should this guano answer the English market, it is my firm belief that Tova and Leon will turn out the largest deposites of guano that have as yet been found on the coast.

MESSAGE OF THE SUPREME CHIKF OF ECUADOR, TO THE NA- TIONAL ASSEMBLY CONVENED IN GUAYAQUIL ON rus 177TH OF JULY, 1852. < Derurizs:— 1 give most sincere thanks to Divine Providence, for having spared me until this day of consolation aod eafety for the republic; fer on this aa is realized the installation of the National Assombly, which in satisfying my most fervent desires, com- plying with the public voice of tho poople, and in ministering to one of their greatest neeessitics, hy giving unity to their resoives, I hastened to convoke ard have bad the fortune to assemble, in dospite of the dangers and difficulties which threaten our in dependence and liborty—which you will be able to maix tain by establishing the country, organizing the government and providing the necessary means te continue and conclude the patriotic and heroie task which the people imposed upon mo on the momora- | ble day of which this is tho first anniversary. I felicitate you with all my heart, and felisitate | myself for this auspicious event, which presents Ecuador as a people 08 dose institutions, jeal ous of their rights, and disposed to efforts and sac: | rire of every kind in defence of their nation- ty. Notwithstanding the current of events ard causes | was clear and transparent, which rendered the revo- lution of the 17th of July inevitable—legalized by the Unanimous will of the people—tt is indispensable for me to lay before the Assembly, whose duty it is to judge of my public acts,the circumstances and causes which placed the nation under the imperious necessity | of disavowing and annuling the previous order of things, which, in the judgment of Ecuatorians, was about to precipitate it into an abyss of calamities, | worst of all. that it was to be a prize for the traitor John Joseph Flores, author of all the convulsions and misfortunes which have affected the republic. When Mr. James Noboa led the revolution of February, 1850, supporved by the national sentiment reaction in favor of Flores was near at band, it was | believed with the fullest confidence, that bis subze- | quent Batic conduct would be consistent with the | principle of nationality there invoked ; but, unfo tunately, Mr. Nob | having degenerated in its progress, having been per- verted by the lamentable deviations of tho spirit of | perty: and having fivally terminated, after deplora- | ble events which foreboded einister results, ho was elevated to the Presidency of the republic by our ex- otic convention, in which the faction of Flores ob- tained the ascendancy. This convention was the in motion by the malevolence of the parties into which the patriots, unfortunately, were dividod® and by the pernicious Machiavelism of the Floreanists in restraining and smothering the freedom of suffrage. | Thus, it happened, that men hated by the people, { by reason of their expressed opinions in favor of the | cause of Flores, men governed by rancorous and | eanguinary passions, composed » majority of that convention, ‘unfit and disqualified by that reason to understand the truc situation of public affairs, and | to secure the liberty, independence, and peace of | the nation, and especially unworthy to be s iyled national. | Thenceforward the ominous and criminal course | which the £0 styled convention pursued, did not es- | cape the vigilance of patriotism. In the wicked | inspirations of the convention Mr. Noboa blindly | Partieipated; thus disregarding the programme of the revolution of February, disavowing tho liberal | element which had lent him its support, and smo- thering the national feeling which had given him allits lertp be A rapid glance at the convention of 1850, is suf- | ficient to sce that its chief object was to re-estab- | lish in all ite power the porfidious faction of Flores, and to extinguish entirely the eause of tho princi- | ples proclaimed in 1845. This faithless Assembly, | In concert with the administration of Noboa, ro-in- | stated all the chiefs and officers of Flores, who had | never ceased since the year °45 to conspire against | the country, for the Peer. of cuayouing their chief | to the Presidency. This Assembly and the adminis- | tration of Noboa, sppointed to public posts the most persevering and open adherent of Flores. This As- tembly andthe administration of Noboa, against all justice and with great detrimeng to the national | treasury, made the most scandalous appropriations faction. This assembly and the administration of | Noboa decreed honorary pensions to the family of the traitor, at the same timo that they proscribed | great number of the chiefs and officers who had ofthe country. This Assembly, in fine, gave its | Sanction to a constitution anomalous, unadvised, contrary (o the true principles of republicanism, and adverse to the rights snd interests of the com- munity. Such was the work of the convention of 1£50; the plain object of which was to destroy liber- ty, relax the national sentiments, and re-convert the seaed truth of public power into a patrimony for Viores and his family. Thus, without exaggo ration, it is certain that the convention of 1850 was & systematic conspiracy agsinat the national cause The audacisus advance of the Floreanists did not step at being identified with the admin Noboa. For the purpose of giving groater extoni and sistency to the libertasidal and anti national reaction going on, it was thought no sary to rush into another scandaleus enterprise ‘The progress which liberty was making in Now | Granada, and the firmness with which it was sup- ported by its enlightened government, was more than a robuke—a direet menage to the adverse re- action of despotism in Evuador;and forthwith the | iniqnitous plan was conceived of provoking an un- a i just war With that government, after fomenting a and reciprocal sympathies. Thore have occurred, | by rel il war within its territory. In fuct, the admin- istration of Nobos had scarcely become mingied with the bloed of Tabacunds and Riobamba, when it woe seen marching en expensive army te the fronticr, and srmivg a faction which for months pace bad been threatening the tranquility of ‘ew Granada. And finally, the government of Noboa, efter supplying arms and munitioss, by which the southern previnces of that sister republic were etained with blood, carried this criminal ua- derteking to the extreme of conslading agree ment in form with a junta ef the conservative fac- tion in New Grenada, in whigh agreement the terms were cified upen which the jormor was to T to receive, aid in arms, ammas ther articles of war. This document, jo in the annala of political de- d before you, vor with others t, by the minister of the proper be goverment is of opinion that Waich resta vpon the individuals guilty of chose olleNees ought not te be withont cffect. Tho nation ought not to love the value, not inconsiderable, of ali the elements of war whieh were substracted from ths State magazines Nothing ecemed wanting then to the Flores resto- ration, Lut the al presence tho ublic of the chief of the faction. To bring this about was the principal ohject of all the plans that wero de- veloping the: z résults which these wore to produce, it was not pos eible—at least it was believed dangorons to the pro- nosed object, and to the life itself of the chiof—for Ein to cuter the republic; 80 te approach it by put- ting tho affair in cuitable train amd motion, was as much a8 was then convenient. Another intrigue, | as deplorable ag that which was concerted with the factions of New Granada, and connected with it, was progressing aleo, by concert with some indivi- duals in Peru, the first result of which wes the fupply, end t department the responsibil sence of Fiores in Lima, at the same time that dis- | cord was raging in Pasto, and war was proveked with New Granada. The nature of this communication doos not allow me to inform you of other acts of the convention of 1850, and of the government which it established. I will, therefore, by a special messaze, sosompanied by the neces-ary dovumouts, give you particular in- formation in regard to other wistakes, abuses, and offences, committed during this epoch of sad remem- brance. In the presence of dangers so manifest, at the moment when the ignominious ruin of the republic war about to be consummated, a)) patriots true to the cance of the nation, all citizens of aonor, all who were faithful to the regenoratien of March, united, em- braced, forgot their mutual grievances, and thought of nothing else but to work with resolution and energy for the purpose of snatching the power from unwor- thy and traitorous, hands—for it would have been wn paidonable folly to wait upon legsl forms for a remedy te roscue the republic from the abyss into which it was descending. The revolution of the 17th of July, consistent with the principles proolaimed in March, 1545, dis- acerted all the treachorios and intrigues of the ete of 1850—annalled oil the pernicious and wensive nots of the enid convention—restored to the republic Nts credit and power, to the citizens | their lost rights, and guarantees, and to the national spirit all ive cheerfulness and animation. The re- volution of July, favored and supported by the whole nation, proceeded undisturbed, and manifested all its force and energy in the most trying circam- stances The National government having been organised by virtue of uniform pronunciamentos from the whole people, its firet solicitude, as was right and proper, was to give the most positive’ assurances of the good faith, frankness, and scourity w ani- mated the Keuatorian people and their new govera- Mus, gia, aud hw their rélativus with other | cepeclally with theix neighbors, und justified by circumstances which indisated that | did not respond to the patrietic | hopes of those who elevated him. The revolution | result of the suggestions, intrigues, and outrages sct | for the benefit of those who had sérved that adveres | many patriots, and struck from the military list a | rendered constant end arduous services to the causo | dhe Hon. ves inthe North. But without the re- , all those were re-instated and placed in civil or Of thees New Granada, ‘been offended by the blind policy of the administration of Noboa, and the people of Eouador having shown explivisly im the actsof prouwnciamente their tion ofthe war whiok bad b ea unjustly vi with that friendly. sister nation, the ty men: of July, ivh this popniar manifesiation, hastened to re-establish lost friendship and con- fidence, by inforniing the New Gramadian govern- went of the frank and cordial disposition for peace, union, and fra‘ernity which agimated thatof Evaader. The government of | arge d’Affaira to this republic, on account of the eminent abilities by which he is dis- tinguished. The eoliciude and fidelity which it hastened to offer us the aid of its forces stationed in Pasto, as soon as it was informed of the pieasrenos which Flores was making in Lima to invade Heuador, ond the ardent enthusiasm with ‘which it uddressed itself to the Congress of the na- tion, in ® special message, worthy of our mest pro- found gratitude, aud of the consideration of every freeman upon the continent, ag soen as it was ap- prised that the invasion had taken place. Tho object of this message, and the law which resulted | from it, do imperishable honor to the fidelity with which the New Granadean people and goverament fulfil their compacts with other nations, to their zeal for American liberty, and their noble desire for he smoniahlitinonh of @ true republic on the con- inent. The government of Venezuela, no less zealous for the advancement and maintenance of the cause, proclaimed in the three States which composed old | Colombia, and sensible to the outrage derigaed by the American renegade, also hastened, on its part, to solicit of Congress, vy means of a mosaage alike commendable as that of New Granada, the neves- sary powers to oppose, in union with the other two States, tho libertacidal enterprise of that traitor. Such is the conduct which our sisters, New Granada and Venezuela, have observed. Nor could it bo otherwize— people of the same origin, identified by the sume cause, interested in the definite triumph of @ common principle, and united by the grand re- collections of @ glorious epoch, ought to unite and protect themselves againit great dangers. The government ot Bolivia, directed by a just, | and eminently American policy, has been true on this occasion to the very clear aud faithful sentiments | which it manifested in the epoch of 1846, when | Flores was preparinf his expedition in Rurope. No less decided now chan then for the cause of Bouador, it | has explicitly distpproved the aggresive enterprise of Flores. And the reply which it has given to the circular which the government of Ecuador issued in reference to that aggression, is in strict conformity | with the principles which every moral and just go- | Vernment 1eepects and observes, and with the tiberal policy which prevails upon the greator portion of tue continent. This Jaudable cenduct is confirmed by that of the Prefect of Oobija, in respect to certain | allurements which an agent ot Flores had held oat jn that port, aud by its approval of the conduct of | that funetionary in the affair; commendable for the strictness of principle which it reveals.

As Ihave before shown you, the revolution of | | July was designed to save the country from the fac- | tien of Flores when it was at the point of consam- mating its abominuble scheme. In furtherance of | which, that faction had increased the army of the North to the number of two thousand men; had | laced in its ranks almost all the eld guards of Flores, the employment of whom was offensive and | | dangerous to the few chiefs who formed an honor- able exception in that army, and entrusted the com- | mand to the most notable of them—ex-Colonel | Vornaza. In the other provinces, in like manner, military poets who could serve with profit to the faction which was at work. Ifthe revolution of July, which broke out depending on on!y three hundred end twenty men, had not worked with the rapidity demanded by the circumetances, it cannot be doubted that the famous traitor would have ex- | ulted in the ignominy of tho servility and degra- | dation of the republic But the traitors did not | sucoved iv perpetrating this infamy. Within a few days & strong division was organised in this dis- trict which co-operated with the provinces in the interior to accomplish the grand result—so that in | fifty-eight days the revolution was triumphant throughout the republic Quito was the principal | field whero the Floreanists, for the purpose of ar. resting the revolution and rosieting the national forces, which I led in person, redoubled their efforts | | and exbausted their intriguse; but they were con- | | founded by the power of public opinion and the ua- | tional feeling which supported the government.

We can, therefore, congratulate our- selves with the triumph of the republic, and glory in having sustuined its name and indopendence against an enterprise of dishonest speculators and mercensry bardits, the history of which ought to b preserved a everiasting reproach to its autho; If, the republic could have proceeded in tran- quility and calmnees, without having to prepare for & calamitous crisis, and the government had not been under the sad necessity of devoting all its at- tention and vigilance to combat the armed traitor, the Adminisiration of July would have applied it- self with laborious attention to regulate ‘and ators all branches of the public service which it found in a declining condition, and especially the national treasury, in regardto the ruinous condition of which I will say ecomething hereafter. All the institutions of learning and charity are re- duced to a wretched prostration, 2 natural result of the deplorable convulsions which have weighed upon the country so many years. , The system of public instruction needs reforma- tion. It needs to be emancipated from the beaten track which it bas hitherto pursued, and take a di- rection in conformity with the tendencies and the new necessities ofthe epoch. Our syatem of educa- tion ought to be more liberal—better adapted to the country by being rendored more general, to the end that the masses may be raised from the state of ig- norance in which the greater part of them are sunk; and that the youth eager for knowledge and Pa tii) may have space and wings for his aspi- ration. 8 04 so his us ready I will inform you, also, that among the few alto- rations which the porsenans has made in the va- rious branches of the administration, the most im- er is the decree of the 17th of December regu- ting the mode and form of proceeding in commer- cial tribunals.

Jp to the month of February, the debt upon the Treasury, occasioned by these loans, smounted fo only t pote thousand dollars. But since he time when it bi prepare the elements of resistance against the bar- barous invasion cf Flores, the expenses inore: enormously, while the revenues, as a natural conse- quence of a state of war, were decreasing. Then it was indispensable to resort to new loans, which it is but just to say, were easily odtained by virtue of the tried patriotism ef the merchants and propri- ctors of this heroic province. These sums have been employed in supporting the army, which was necestarily wugmented to the great number which ou wii! find specified in the statements which will be forcished you from the war department, in buy- ing veesels and arming them, and in all other ne- cess attending a prolonged campaign. Never- theless, I am coneoled by the conviction that the public moveys have been managed wit strict in- tegrity and economy. The proper minister will lay before you, more in detail, all that pertaine to the vital brauch of the treasury, upon which I pray you to fix your attention particularly, as it is t! rst element of the existence and preservation of gov- ernment, and imperiously demands important modi- fications and reforms. ‘ The onerous state of tho foreign debt is the samo as ever, because nothing has hitherto been done to satisfy it. from the holders of the Spanish American bonds, who hat come fully authorized to make the noces- | sary arrangements for its extinguishment.
