Tae readers of ‘the HeRatp will remember that I discrecited it at the time, The report had its origin, I pregume, iu the excited state of the public mind at Bogota, occasioned by the remon™ etrances sent in from many of the States of the Confode, ration against the election law which pagsed Congress a. ‘Mts abt sersion, and which is regarded as unconstitutional There is no disguising the fact that apprehensions are felt that a general revolution throughout the Confedera- tion will take place {f the present Congress ehculd fail to repeal the law.

As thore are only eight States in the Confederation, a majority will, thoro- fore, favor a revojution; and as a portion of the peeple Btate of Oundinamarca have re cently protested against the law, it is highly probablo that the whole of the State may become diss towarda the general government and unite with the other States mentioned. Tt is understood that the State of Panama will remain neutral; but if called on by the government ro aid it by men and money to put down the revolution, it will refuse to comply.

Thave no change to note in the condition of affairs in this country since my last, except an unsuccessful attempt at revolution in the South, instigated, it is supposed, by Gen Ecbenique and ¢omo of his followers.

The only intelligence of any importance I bave to com- municate by the steamer that leaves today for Panama is the final conclusion and pubtication of the treaty of peace, &c , between President Castilla, of Peru, and the government here, of his own creation, which, backed up by Peruvian bayonets, bas moet basely and wantonly covenanted to ket Pern have nearly a third of the territory of Ecuador. The treaty was published here on tho 30th uit. ‘The fifth article stipulated that the government of Koua- dor, in consideration of the evidence produced by the Pe- Tuyian Minister, who conducted the negotiations in behalf oi that government, establishing tue right of Pera tothe territorics of Quijos and Canclos, ceciares void and of no eflect the grant made to the English creditors, of auy por- tion of said Territories, and dociares that they shail be indernpified by other lands not ia dispute, but which be- long to Keuador. ‘The principal documenta premcaled by. Pern to ostablish her claim to the territories in question were the royal let- ters patent, of 16th of July, 1902. Great Britain will hardly submit to this summary treatment of her subjects ‘who are creditors of Ecuador. The sixth article provides for the appointment of a mixed commission, within two years from. the ratitication of the convention, to settic the limits of the respective territories of Veru and Kouador, who are to determine the question of boundary by such proofs as may be adduced by both partics. Meantime, both governments are to ac- knowledge as the boundary thus laid down in the treaty of September, 129, between Colunvia and Peru, in con- formity With the letters tof idth July, 1802. ‘This last stipulation v: claims; and once in Of the territories of Quijos bo likely to give them up with- end Canclos, she will not ont a single. ‘The other articles provide for an aMfance, offensive and defensive, for the suppreesion of any untawful expeditions: that may be fitted out in the respective territories of the contracting parties, by political exiles from either, and for the exercise of strict surveillance over tbe public preas of doth countries; that is to say, they agree that nothing offensive shall be published against the governmentor people of either nation. It is not believed here for one moment that the of Keuador will submit to the degrading terms of treaty. As 800n 05 Castilla withdraws hia troops, it is be- lieved that a revolution will break out, having for tts ob- Ject the overthrow of the Franco party, which bas been placed in power by Cagtilla.
