Lonpon, SaToRDAY MorninG, June 11, 1853, The Times says there is nothing at present to testify that the English aud French fleets will proceed beyond the roads of Tenedos or Besika bay, althoagb, in the event of the outbreak of hostilities, the ambassadors would find themselves in a position to command the services of the Admirals. But, until peace be actually broken, the Straits wre closed by the Convention of 1841 against the naval forces of all the powers, and it is of vital impor- tance to the maintenance of pease that no signal of hos- tilities should be given by a departure from the terms of that agreement. Supposing the Rassian goverment adheres to the course which it has indicated in ita latest communication to the other powers, it would seem that some time must still elapse before any decisive events can occur. It would not be before the 20th that orders to commence bostilities could be given, but in the meantime, the Russian government will have received from all the principal States of Europe the stroogest re- Monstrances egainet the conduct it bas thought fit to pursue.

Affairs in Albany; ‘THE CANAL BILLS IN THE SENATE—THE IMPLACH- MENT CASES IN THE ASSEMBLY—ANOTHER DAY OF EXCITEMENT, SPYCIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Aunany, June 23, 1853, The morning session of the Senate—thermometer at 80—was mostly spent in discussing bills for appropriating moneys for the payment of interest on the canal revenue certificates, appropriating funds to the work on the seve- ral canals, and another appropriating money towards the payment of canaldebts. The discussion took quite an extended range, involving the canal policy of the State, without eliciting any new or interesting features. It was the old thing, revamped, respoken, and which long since has become threadbare. But as there was nothing be- fore the Senate worthy of interest, it was perhaps as pro- fitable to the people that the time was disposed of in this manner as apy other. There is no limit to the favor with which the people, railroad and steamboat companies, regard the present very able and distinguished Legislature. In addltion to the two invitations to excursions, now accepted and not dis of—the Erie Railroad on one side of the State, Canal excursion on the other—bcth bodies were favored with another invitation, presented this morning, as follows: ALBANY, June 23, 1853. To the Hon. the Sonate and Assembly of the Stato of New York:—The undersigned, in behalf of the preprictors of the would respectfully tender the hos- pitalities of their ats to your honorable body and your officers, from Albany to New York and return, on the occasion of the legislative excursion over the New York and Erie Railroad. ery respectfully, yours, &0, I. NEWTON. Some of the member are anxiously awaiting an iovita- tion to Sara: over the new northern road. The direc- tors have considerable difficult running too near a powder mill, as the proprietor thinks; and the quickest and surest way of eettiog that matter at rest, is to extend an invitation to the world renowned watering place, and if possible, previous to tating th: final question in the House uoon the Maine Liquor bill, sent down from the Senate. Can’t an excursion to Sara: toga, Whitehall, Plattsburg, and on to Ogdensburg, be speedily organized? The whigs are becoming alarmed lest the progressive democracy have been rather remiss in regard to hus- banding properly the one and.a-half million borrowed under the unconstitutional law of 1851. That law did not contemplate the expenditure of any portion of that fund towarde the payment of prior debtor pre-existing contracts. But before a single contract had beer made under the law, the whigs berrowed thet large amount. Now Mr. Williams, a whig leader of the Senate, wants to know what has become of that fund; andas a demo: cratic Canal Board have had charge of it for a twelve- month, he wishes them to report the present condition of the money—the amount of interest accumula'ed—the amount received, paid, where. and for what purpose— amount now on hand—in what banks—the rate of in- terest, and how often such interest is made payable? Mr. W. is a skilful banker, and wants to know how those funds are managed in democratic hands. He should be furnished at once with the information. Action in the Houce commenced early and continued until the recess very lively, interesting, and occasionally bighly exciting, all growing out of the Mathec prosecu- tion.” The first question was upon a resolution offered by Mr. Hastings, whig. of Monroe, instructing the Impeach- ment Committee to re] on Friday, to morrow, upon the probability of reading Chateld, right, or Church up to the High Court, in the same omnibus with Mather. ile Mr. Shaw was speaking a septence dropped which caught the ear of Mr. Loomis. who immediately de- manded thst a plain statement should be made, as he did not desire were insinuations. Mr. Shaw then remarked that he had never intended to -have divulged what had eccurred in the incipient stages of this investigation, between himself and the gentleman from Herkimer, (Mr. Loomis.) But as he Was called Be he did not feel himeelf a: liberty to remain silent. festated that from the beginning of the session he had been importuned from time to time by Mr. Loomis and others, to offer a resolution in the House asking for an investigation into the official conduct of the State officers He resisted for a number of days, perhaps weeks, and at levgth he consented, when Mr. Loomis pjacod in his hands, written by himself, (Mr. L.) which wés offered and adopted. It was dove, as Mr. 8. thought, for the purpose of investigation, and it need be of censuring or reprimand- ing any officials found derelict in duty; but he had not the least idea of an impeachment. He said he was de. ceived ip taking the initiatory step which had caused all this trouble and turmoil, and he was heartily sorry that he bad ever been duped into it. Mr. Loomis replied in a speech of considerable length, aud justided himself in asking Mr. Shaw to present the resolution, believing that the standing, character, and yereration in which Mr. Shaw was held, would warrant its pasrage. ‘The recclution offered by Mr. Hastings was floally adopted, when Mr. Noble. of New York, offered another, asking for the appointment of a committee to inform the President of the Senate, legally, that a resolution de- claring John C. Mather was impeached by the House. ‘This called out a protracted debate. The friends of the indictment ceclared the resolution » proper one, while Mather’s friends insisted that the House should adopt ar- ticles and specifications of impeachment, and present them to the President of the Senate. The Revised Sta- tutes declare :— Allimpeachments shall be delivered by the Assembly to the President of the Senate, who shall thereupon cause the court for the trial of impeachments to be sum mo} The court, when summoned, shall forthwith er. son impeached to appear. and to anawer the charge exhibited against him; and upon his appearance he shall be entitled to seory of the impeachment, and a reasonable time to answer ¢ sane. ‘The person ncor sed is entitled, on the trial of the impeach- ment, to be allowed counsel, as in civil actions. officer impen cise of his office until his acquittal. ‘The above, and other provisions of the statute, having been referred to and read, Mr. Noble’s resolution was laid on the table by common consent; und there it will remain, as it seemed to be generally conceded that specific charges should be adopted by the House, for presentation to the President of the Senate, as a resolution appointing a com- mittee to draw up the charges was unanimously adopted, of which Mr. Champlin is Casirman. Previous to the fi rrapgement of this exciting affair, Mr. Burroughs ro: charged that two gentlemen from New York, (Messrs. Shaw and D. B. Taylor.) had in the course of their remarks, highly iveulted every member upon the floor, who yesterday voted for the revolution of im, cachment. Ifthé gentleman on hia right, a Shaw.) with to withdraw the objectionable words, then Mr. B, hed nothing further to say upon that point; but Mr. Shaw, interposing, inquired what words were allu- ded to Mr. Burroughe—You stated in your remarke this morn- ing. that there never had been a resolution of impeash- ment adopted but it was done from motives of “personal hate.” ‘Mr. Shaw—And I repeat it now. Mr. Burrongs, at this prompt reply, became peculiarly severe upon the venerable gentleman, and considered himeelf, and every other member who voted for the resolution yesterday. personally insulted. He intimated that if such jangusge was further indulged in, he should dewand action of the House upon it. He disclaimed all personal hate in the discharge of any of his legislative duties. Mr. Shaw made no reply, and the whole subject was de- ferred until to-morrow. f ‘There ix much interest evinced in relation to the action of the committee instructed to report whether any other State cflicers should be placed on their defence before the court of impeachment. The day tor final adjournment ia farther off than it was two weeks rince. The members appear anxious to retarn to their home; but no ove can now predict whea that time will ccme—probably not for two or three weeks. The rural gentlemen are enjoying the cool shades of the Capi- tol park with an excellent relish. W.. NEW YORK LEGISLATURE. EXTRA SESSION. Senate. ry AtBaxy, June 23, 1853, ‘THE CANAL BILLS—INTERESTING DEBATE. The Canal bills were taken up in Committeeof the Whole, The question being on the amendment of Mr. Vander- bilt, to amend the Canal Revenue Certificate bill, by carry. ing the appropriation for interest to 1855. Adopted, by 12 to 10, and the bill was reported to the Senate. The bill appropriating moneys to the Erie Canal En- Jargement and lateral canals was taken up. Mr. Coory (dem.) said the bill seemed to need con- siderable revision, being very crudely drawn, and moved to rise and report progress, and refer all the bills to a select committee to report complete. Carried. The question of agreeing to the report on the first bill was discusred. Mr. Wit1zams (whig) moved to lay on the table. Lost, Mr. Concer (dem ) moved to amend the report by re- storing the bill to its original rhape. Lost by 6 to 19. Mr. Bancock (whig) moved to lay on the table, so as to send the bill to the committee with the others. Lost, ‘The report was then sgreed to. Mr, Connuit (dem.) moyea to recommit for amend. ment, with instiuctions to invert » pro rata provision for payment to the holders of the certiiicates. Mr. Waro (whig) could see no reason for such an amendment. The holders of these certificates from this hour, beid in their hands certificates that would be worth a premium. They would prefer to keep the cortificates, avd not have the money forced back upon them, There was no need, then, of going into this process, and so far ax the State is concerned, our dnances demanded no sueh legislatfon. He, then, should vote against the proposi- ton #nd in favor of the bill as it stood, Mr. Bristor (dem ) looked upon it as an act of hostility to our lateral canals. He hoped the Senator from the ‘Twenty-sixth (Mr Cornell) would not thus put himself on record; but if he did, he trusted he would stand alone Mr. Consett professed no great friendship for any ca- nals, He only aimed at doing right. He wax wilting to appropriate money to build the canals, but he woold not take money legitimatety belonging to other funds for such a purpose. He would have the taxation eome upon us at once, if it come at all. Mr. Coorky said this barnburner doctrine of repudia- tion was nothing new; it had grown stale, and he should not enter into it at this time, But the people of thig State were to repay the money, received as it was in good pire br pape ‘to discuss the subject at allfurther. The idea of this pro rafa distribution was perfectly ridiculous, and he ho; for Heaven’s sake, that no wore time would be in discussion of it. Nearly two days had already been occupied on this bill. Mr. Conve. denied that 5 t he was in favor of repudia- tion, though he had said, and still said, that there was no legal obligation to repay those moneys, Mr Coorzy said that when he spoke of repudiation he referred to the pernicious acts of 1842—the acta in which Michael Hoffman fi 80 extensively —that repudiation which had cost this country so much. And that was barnburner doctrine—everybody knew it. There was no Ged Le need of that repudiation, and its evil effects would ve long. Mr. Conwnut replied. 7 Mr. Witusams could not approve the proposition made to recommit. He was in favor of appropriating sufficient to Rey the interest up to the latest day the constitution will allow. That interest should be fully and honestly met. £0 far he would go ; and he had voted to recom- mit once, for the purpose of ascertaining how much that sum should be. But he could not support any such motion now before us. He this “bill to stand as it was, to provide for doing all we can cons! tionally, not deeming it necestary to send the bill to an; Lermatlo as all information sought could be obtai without. Mr. Van Scnoonnoven (whig) was willing the Sen- ator from the Twenty-rixth (Mr. Cornell) should have the glory of reviving and advocating the repudiating of 1842. If that Semator sought Opens from such a connection, let him have it. He (Mr. V. 8.) pronounced it the vilest doctrine in the world. It was an outrage upon the good sense of the nineteenth century for any man to stand up here and advocate the repudiation of an honest State liability. (‘Some one here called for “Question—question.”) Mr . , said he was in no hurry for the question. ‘The gen tleman had yesterday taken up the whole day in atvcca ting just the opposite of what he was advoesting to-day. He (Mr. V. toe all the remarks some of these gen- tlemen make in behalf cf this monstrous repudiation doc- trine could be published, that the world may know them. Luckily for them, the reporters have too much good sense to put them in their reports. Mr. CoRNELL’s motion was lost. Mr. Concer moved to instruct the committee to which the other bills were referred, to apply the balance toward the payment of protested drafts for work already done. Lost by 5 to 22, INVITATION TO VISIT NEW YORK. The People’s Line of steamers sent in an invitation for the Legislature to pars to New York and back, on their prea a the time of the New York and Erie railroad excursion. ‘THE CANAL FUND COMMISSIONERS, Mr. Wizsams moved a resolution of Inquiry of the Ca- pal Fund Commissioners, relative to the amount of certi- ficate moneys.

Mr, Tewptx, (dem.) of Madison, moved to lay all orders on the table down to motions and resolutions, in order to take up the impeachment resolutions, Agreed to. The question pending was upon the resolution of Mr. Hastings, (whig), of Mouroe, to direct the Select Com- mittee to inquire into the conduct of State officers, also to refer the other resolutions to the same cow mittee. Mr. O’Brrgn, (dem.), of Kings, asked if that commit- tee was vow in existence ; if the recess did not in fact discharge them ? The Sreaxer decided that, by a cencurrent resolution, the committee still exists. The resolution of Mr, Hastings was adopted. So- the commi tee are to report on Friday next (to morrow) re’ lative to all other State officere. MR. MATHER’S CASE. Mr. Nostz, (dem.), of N. Y., offered the following :— Resolyed. That a committee of two be appointed to deliver to the Prosident of the Senate s copy, - terday adopted, by which John C. 3 0 sioner, has been impeached. and to request id. to inform tin ly will exhinit articles of impeachment to said court when convened, and will prosecute the same at the pleasure of the court. "= Mr. HENDEE, (wbig) of Livingston, thought all the pames rhould go to the Senate together. Many had voted for the revolution of impeachment, supposing that they would all go together. He did not like to put Me. Mather so far shead, and preferred that the House suspend acting upon this resolution until the committee should report. ‘dem.), of New York, thought the House commit itself until the committae had made outthe articles of impeachment. He would not advise the Senate until we were prepared to act—knew the ground of impeachment. We had passed upon nothing but she general article of impeachment. Bir, Loomis, (¢em ), of Herkimer, thought it our duty to notify the President of the Senate at once, that Commis- siover Mather was pUeeane Mle read from the Revised Statutes, relative to the trial of impeachment cases, The communication was to be delivered to the President of the Senate, end until be called the court, the Senateas a body was not recognized. Mr. D. B. Tayror, (dem.), of New York, regarded this resolution as another blow to Commissioner Mather’ feelings. Wo might uct agree upon the specificatio: the Senate knew perfectly well what was done here, aud he could see no object in sending up a committee until the charges were rpecified. The request of Mr, Mather for specific and definite charges, was disregarded. This resolution should lie upon table until the articles of impencbment were fixed upon, Mr. SHAW admitted that Mr. Mather was impeached, but it was in our own hands still. In case we disagreed upon the articles of impeachment, he desired to know if Mr. Mather was to be eternally impeached. Mr. L oms thought that if we sent this committee to the Senate, and failed to appear to prosecute, the court could discharge the accused. Now they had nothing to do it, and so long as it rested where it did, Mr. Ma- ther must remain impeached. Mr Suaw proceeded. The origin of the whole affair has been attributed to him, This was very well. He had Deen wretshedly caught~had been tricked in his old age, He entered intothe matter from the repeated solicitations of the gentleman from Herkimer, (Mr. Loomis). He had been induced to offer a recolution he did not write—one that war put into bis bands already concocted. He had been excused from all farther actions if he would ouly add his great name, and yener» ble appearance, and character, to the initiatory steps of the pr jing! And he was foolenough todoit. (Laughter.) He had been told that a ‘clearing out”? was to be had at Washington, and he felt that Mr. Pierce, whom we had elected with- out knowing anything about him, would commence a thorough investigation and purt@cation, and the States would follow; he bad no douot good would be the result, And this bad weight with him. But there would be no convictions under this administration. Ho» alluded to the Garéner case in this connection. Weare now to have the impeachment, and he was not one to constant- ly hecter because beaten. New contracts were soon to be given, and the time was coming for clove watching. ‘The same committee, he thought, should decide upon the other cases; their scent hsd become acute. He aoe the resolution of the gentleman from New York (Mr. Noble) would not pass. hr. Looms bad so far refrained from saying anything upon the matters thet occurred in private, previous to the commencement of this affair. From insinuations of the gent!eman from New York, he had felt called upon to ask a statement of what war +o darkly hinted at. And this statement bad just been made. At the commence- ment of the regular neesion. he had been notified by the Speaker that he was to be placed at the head of the Com- mittee of Ways spd Means, and was asked for his choice as to members of the committee. He had then asked that the gentlemanfrom New York (Mr. Staw) be placed upon that committee, for he had felt that there was ity of opinion between them upon the subject of reform. The measures of that committee for economy had been approved by the House. And in denouncing the course of officers who had indulged in extravagant waste of public funda, he had only keot by the side of the gentleman from New York. And he concursed with him that an example was necessary, and perhaps a victim, and he did ask him to lend the in fluence of his pame, nor was he ashamed to admit it. He cou)d not interpret the change that had taken place inthe gentleman’s mind. Whether it grew out of look- ing at the course of the general government. he could not say. But he believed the course of that government had not changed—that reform was intended still; that it was intended to dispel the idea that public office was a posi- tion simply for plunder. He then read the resolation al- luded to, and appealed to the House and public, whether there was saying in that resolution of inquiry that was inconsistent for the Committee of Ways and Means. Was there anything unbecoming to the dignity of the House? Mr. Snaw stated that the wording of the resolution was correct enough. He toate it appropriate and consistent with the dignity of the House. All he ia tended to say was that be had been caught in having Deen induced by persuasion to offer it. Mr. Loomis resumed. He could not see what other re. sults could have been anticipated than thore that had followed from that resolution. Allusion had been made to the consistency of his course, referring. he presumed, to his opposing, and then favoring amendments to the constitution. In his political course he bad not made consistency point. He had always sought to do right. Still he insisved that his acts in relation to the cano)s were consisteot with each other. Upon this point be enlarged. giving the reasons for his course upon canal enlargement. He then returned to the question. If this Tiouse adjourned without any further action, he felt con- fident anew House and a new Senate would prosecute the action. He was willing to allow it to take either course, as he had no fears as to the future action of these bo- dies. Mr. Henpre went into an examination of the statutes relative to impeachment. The House was required to pend to the President of the Senate but onge, apd he f__| HERALD.* —————____. thought it must Be with a full statement of the charges, &e, Until this was done, he thought any communication would be premature. He hoped members would not ‘‘get the cart before the horse.” Mr. Cuamruin (dem.), of Allegany, had a resolation for the appointment of s committee to articles of im- peachment, and to proeeed to trial against John C. Ma- ther, before the court, which he designed to present as s00n as thin was disposed of. He thought the gentlemen had misunderstood the statute. The articles of impeach- ment were not to be prevented to the Senate, or the Pre- sident ef the Senate. They bad nothing to do with them. Notice of impeachment was to be given to the President of the Serate, that he may summon a court, and when the court is convened, then articles of impeacuwent are to be eee, ‘and the committee proceed to substan- tiate t! articles before the court. Mr Hastins should be obliged to differ from the views just expressed. The statutes have changed. More re- cent evactments authorize e different course of proceed- ing. He read, the impeachment, (not notice of it,) wan to be delivered to the President of the Senate, and upon this ground he summons his court. The next section pro- vides that a copy of the impeachment be given the ac- cured. By ling this resolution to the President of the Senate the impeachment would be discussed at once, for want of particularity, He thought we should wait until the charges were put in proper form. Mr. Nopix regarded his resolution as consistent with the statute, end fair towards the accused. He hoped the matter would not be removed by any technicality. Mr. D. B Tayzor desired to know what time would be gained by the adoption of this resolution. Specifications were to be furnished in a day or two, and then notice could be sent in with the icles of impeachment, and he thought no time would be lo:t. Mr. Looms thought it important to give notice as early as practicable, and then prepare specific articles, in order that the court might be convened. He thought the com- mon law rule should be adopted, that is, to send notice to the Senate, and then prepare ourselves for the prose- cution of articles of impeachment before the court when convened. Mr. Firswortn, (whig) of Chautauque, thought wo should not send up ‘notice until we could rend specific tions. The common law was @ good guide, when we have no statute. In this case there were definite provisions. No communication is required from this House to the court, This court, when convened, summons the ac- cused, and furnishes him a copy cf the impeachment 3 him time to answer. is im shment must be one of definite and ful? specifications. The statute is definite, Until we upon articles of impeachment the court should not be convened. Mr. O’Brien further discussed the question, urging suspending action until the articles could be made out, specifying the charges. He offered as a substitute, a re- solution to appoint a committee of five to draw up arti- cles of impeachment against John C. Mather, to present them to-morrow. Mr. Burrovans, (ind. dem.) of Orleans, thought we were as yet uninformed upon the practice in impeach- ment casos, and for the purpose of investigating precedent, he should be glad of another day. He would not be seated without alluding to the charges of the gentlemen from New York (Messrs, Shaw and D. B. Taylor), that members were acting from personal feelings—batred or malice. He would not, he dare not, insinuate that any man’s motives in so weighty a matter were those of personal hatred. Such grave charges were not consistent with the rules of chis House. claimed to be personally offended—wronged. No person had any right to inpuga another's motives. We are here under oath, and when motives are hereafter impeached he should move an in vestigation as to whether it was ia compliance with the rules of the House. He suggested that the matter be laid on the table fora ery or two to allow members to be- come informed upon the practice in such cases. ers NobLE moved to lay the subject on the table. Car- ried, Mr, CHaMPtiy offered a resolution to appoint a commit- tee of five to prepare and present articles of impeachment against John C.

Mr. Cnasrrm had no objection to let the matter lie upon the table for another day. He thought there was a disposition to delay by dwelling upon minute poiuts.

The Flores Expecition Against Eucador. eee Correspondence Between the Charge @’ Affaires or New Granada and the Hon. Edward Everett, late Secretary .f State. ‘We have files of Panama papers 10 the 11th of June. In the Panameno of the Sth, we find the publicstion of a Correspondence whieh took place between Senor Parades, Charge here of the Republic of New Granade, and the late Seeretary of State, relative to the preparations of General Flores to invade the Reuadorian ‘arritory, We translate it as follows :— ‘Lecation or New Gaasapa, New York, Jan. 20, 1853. The undersigned Charge of Affsirs of New Granada, feels it hie duty to call the attention of His Exeeliency, Mr. Everett, Secretary of State, of the United States, toe fact, which if unfortunately true, would cause His Excet- lercy not a Kittle mortifeation. ‘The undersigned has read with much surprise in the Maw York Hens of the 14th inst., No. 7,278, the statemsat that the Ex-General Juan José Flores, juotly and rightly qualified as a pirate by the governments of New Granada» and Ecuador, was again endeavoring to raiwe another ex Pedition against the latter republic, adding that such ex- pedition would be composed only of Ameritans enlisted in California, and that many of them were enrolled im he ranks of that unquiet adventurer and enemy to the public tranquility and to America—who, according to the -ame information, had two steamships for the expedition. But the alarm which the undersigned’ at first: felt from he news, soon vanished on considering the improbability of the fact, and it is only to-day that some weight has been given to that publication, by the correspondence which the undersigne! has just received from the charge f New Granada to the government of Kcuader, in which he says. referring to official notes received from California, nearly the same, more or less, ax published'by the press. Notwithstanding all this, the undersigued refused wo delieve that an attempt o” to much gravity could be pe- tronized by citizens of a‘nation which daily receives the most unequivocal proof of friendship, respect 4ui sym- petty, on the part of Ecusdor and New Granada ; and makes this communication only as compelied by the circumstances indicated, sud by the duty whieh, in con- sequence, devolves on him. It is true that if the rash ent iver are considered, with which ex-General Flores has scandalized the American contract in 1852, with the knowledge of many civilized yovernments, and even with the aid of some of them, it is rot strange that he would. urdertake piracy for the third time, audacioasly violating the law of uations, and the respect due to them, ia- sulting the public morality and American doctrines. this is easily conceived but it is not easy to conceive tbat this third enterprize is formed and organized with men and resources procured from the United Stutss; atill less, that the Ce ee government of this great ma- tion—the cradle of American liberty—fails to take-the riper measures to frustrate the consummation of w . ‘The appt therefore, flatters himself with the hope that Mr Everett will condescend to excuse the pre- ceding ivsinuation, aad to issue as may appeat to his Bx- cellency reasonsble or convenient, such orders as may conduce to tranquillize the governments of New Granada end Ecuador, At first sight the undersigned might appear intrusive, or baving no representation ina matter not within the line of his charge, and therefore Mr; Mvesett will oxeuse 8 sbort explanation, Certainly, it is stated that the new expedition alluded to is directed also against New Granada, and this might place in doubt the nght or personality of the undersigned in the matter in question. But such doubs will be dis- pelied on considering that New Granada bas been, parti- culerly im the last ex,edition, one of the principsl objects to which it travelled, and as to which the government of the underrigoed has abundant proof. On the other side New Granada it compromised by means of public treaties to t Eouador with her troops and re-ourcea, in the event of am invasion of the: kind indioste, and the sacrifices are uot for what she has had to make in the fulfilmeut of her obligations, and those which she ever is making, on secount of the uncere tainty in which she has remained since the recent eveats of Guayaquil. The undersigoed would veature to add to the foregving reasons other general considerations, which would rot be perhaps out of placu—such as that of the intimate union and fraternity existing batween the three xepublics which formerly constituted Colombia, and which, for the interests of their better adwinistration, are maiutaived im torming different nationalii although preserving in ouber respects tue seme ties Tne rawe buncs which held them united when theic blood: floweé and commingled in the fields of henor, in defences of theis liberty aud of the 1mpreseriptible rights which. they proclaimed and knew ho« to eustain, and which wakea it the duty noi only of the citizeus-of South America but of all Americans, to oppose without vacitia- tion the most decides exertions against the absolute propaganda which thresteas that part of 1 COm- tineot. and of which propaganda ox-Geaeral Juen Joré Flores bas been doubtless one of the~ agents, But the undersigned will vot pretend to streagthen the reflections which might be adduced on these and other point-, as well because they might be foreign to the prim- cipal object which he has propo-ed to effect:by means of this note. a8 because. in seeking to explain them and prove useir exactitude. he might be offending the talents and penetration of Mr. Everett. The undersigned, therefore, concludes by asking his Excellency to deign to give a bevevolent. reception to this- communication; and, at the same time, he avails himself of the opportunity to reiterate to his Excellescy the pro- Yestations of respect with which he bas the honor to aub- scribe bimeeif his Excellency’« most ob-equious servant, VICCURIANO DE D. PAREDES. To his Excellency Mr. Epwakp Everert, Secretary of State of the United States To this note Mr. Everett replied as follows: — The undersigr ed Secretary of State of the United States bas bad the honor to receive the note of Mr, Paredes, Charge a’ Affaires of New Granada, representing that he had seen in a recent journsl of New York, a statement, in which it was said that Gen. Don Juan José Fiores wan engaged in crganizing another expedition against the re- public of Ecuador, which was to be composed of persons enlisted in California. Mr. Paredes is not in error in supposing that if the statement should prove true, it would cause much pain to the undersigned. because he has a living desire that not only the republic of Ecuador, but also its immediate neighbors, should be free ax well from invasions from abroad as from internal tumuits. The regret of the un- dersigued would be much increased if it occurred that any citizens of the United States, were members of the supposed hostile expedition. If they had ret it on feot im California or any other part of the United States, they would be, according to our law, subject to punishment. The attention of the United States officials in that quar- ter bas been recently direcred. on various cccasibns, to- wards the faithful execution of these laws; and itis to be hoped that if any expedition, such as that which Mr. Pa- redes complains of. should have been undertaken witnin their jurisdic ion, it will have been frustrated by their vigilarce. Notwithstanding this, he hay transmitted « copy of Mr. Paredes’ note to those authorities, with special instructions on the subject. ‘The apologies contained in that note for the direction. of the undersigned would bave been entirely satisfactory, if they were necessary. As it is, the undersigned knows well the intimate reia‘ions betweem New Granada and Ecusdor to which Mr. Paredes refers. Tnere also exist relations of a delicate and important character between the United States aud the latter republic. The under- sigred, while he hopes that nothing may occur capable of altering these relations, or of making them disagreeal to either of the two conntries, takes this opportunity of offering to Senor Paredes the reiterated assurances of hia high consideration.
