Gen. Canseco hss addressed two lett, rs to (?eu Bus
BBBBBBBk- commander of the military forces before. Are
quip?, and Admiral Valle Keistra, comanding the I'eru
\ ian Naval for? es, inviting thoso two ottic? rs to induce
their commands to Join the revolution sgaiust the Oov
ernrsent. lioth of these ofllcers have answered Can?
seco s letters, thanking him for his Invitation to them to
commit treason, but respectfully declining to do so.
Gen. Iiustamente Is a cousin of Gen. Canseco, and this
relationship, perhaps induced the latter person to believe
that Ilustamente would Join purely out of family consid?
erations. Canseco hints in a very delicate manner to his
cousin that he is not ambitious for power, and would
secure his cousin's election to the next Presiden? y.
Th? Chillsns sr? beginning to consider what effect
PradV? defeat will have upon tne alliance, and thelrpress
has charged the Government with having been too severe
with the Peruvians that were a short time ago exiled to
thut'xiuutry, and who are in the present revolution its
principal leaden?. The alliance with Chill has been the
pet I lea of Col. Prado, and he alone has sustained It
sgalnst the united opinion of all parties in the country. It
has l.-eii looked upon with distrust by the military and
nava authorities since the day of its incsption, and tho
oplul.n of all was unanimous that it would end In war
between the two Republics. In a eonversation the other
dav nat I bad with a Captain of the Peruvian Navy, who
has b?en for s long time upon the coast of Chili with the
?ouarron, snd has Just returned, he stated that It was his
firm tellef thst the fortifications that were being erected
In Valparaiso were being carried out not so muoh to de?
fend themselves against the Kpanlards, ss against the
Peruvians, and in this opinion he Is sustained by
many of his brother officers. There is no doubt
but that the alliance, so far as Peru is ionccrned,
will soon terminate with ?Chili. The recent disclosures
that have been madeiu the Chilian Congress will com?
pel even Prado isboald bs aaiweed m crushing out the I

Intrusted to thciu. The answer of the Oovernraent was
that they had the fullest coiuTdenee lu the good faith of
the fore lgners, and were willing to place in their bande all
tlie resources that tln-y might require. The object wa?
not to ?tistaln this party, or that party, it wue simply
to protect commercial interests aguuist plunder, that the
mob knowing Unit the merchant? were organized and
armed to protect tlmir property, and that the Ooveru
iiicnt sanctioned ii, would have the effect of preventing
any attempt being made. As to the respoii?lblllty un ii
tim obligation? of Um Government to the mcrmiaut*

labor? may be summed in a few words. They havo given
us a constitution that tho party out of power will not ao
cept, anil the one in {rower pays no rospect te it at all,
?uni the result is that there are two armies drawn up iu
