Mr. Latham, who leaves to-day for Washington. Mr.
LaUtam, no matter what may be s?.id to the contrary,
ejojs the good will and confidence of the people of California.
Be baa been chosen to fill hie present high station
because he stood free from the Intrigues, and had

integrity and ability of the highest standard.
Though the Ciemocrahc State Committee passed reao i
lotions that would exclude Douglas or Brodertck demo I
rata from participating in the primary elections which j
re to choose delegates to the State Convention, many of !
MM iocs! committees have set this resolve asido, by de- j
taring that every person who promises to support the j
nominees of the Charleston Convention can vote. San i
Francisco gave the example; others havo followed. The
result of this will be to increase the. chances of sending 1
Douglas delegates to the National Convention from Caii- j
fornia. Fx Govcrnor Welter and Senator Latham are 1
candidates.

A material falltog off in trade occurred immediately ant
sequent to the railing of itie steamers of Kw 2Uh nit., an
tbe fortnight throughout haa been marked by rat mm
dulntas u> nearly every detriment of mercantile bus
nets. '1 In animation observable (luring the ftiat fo.-imgt;
?f the year, so far aa related to the train nolwucn import

demand from tbe interior, and as a consequence, so.;
lied ont. The weather daring January wa* quite Que. tut
ESvorable to the inlaud tr <turportau.'i of goods, but of tbi
propitious circumstance advantage was uot taken by emit
try dealers, who allege that the deep ?uo*? of t ie uior
pdevalril mining regions, by suspeuding labor, have lei
Lhem without the means of replenishing supplies nt ltd
lln>u, or ol liquidating exitllog indebtedness.
Nearly all the articles which a fortnight ago showed im
proved prices have either receded to tuclr former llgirut>r.
in the absence of salea, are oominal, an J could net b
soli! short of a decline. This is cearty shown wh?-u a
meet any article is pressed upon the market, and hol ler
who can afford to do so, are lying lule and uot <ut mpuu
to sell at alt, williug to await a legitimate demand for cat
sumption before veuturiog ihcir siccus ou Um market.
There have been revet el arrivals from Atiantla dom-M
lie ports, but the ealee consequent upon tl e reception t
iheir cargoes have been comparatively light.
There have been some transactions in caudles at abO'J
i he figures previously ruling, but nothing lika a a pec
olive movement in rufenncc to them has been ot
s? rvabio. Renewed shipment* at the East would prec'ud
such a feeling, even if it should show the least dispusitio
lo tuauirett itself. A good deal haa been done In cod-two
more cargoes of Kk> having come lo hand. The prK>
'or a time tluiluatod a goad dual, owing to the ducrepaviews
of dealers, but Uto market seems to have settle
down at an amply remunerative figure, and as the *t<v
<e well controlled tbe market will probably remain stead
until there are further accessions Refined sugar, cad
in tho lortmght, manifested an improving tendency; witbi
a few days pant, however, for the few parcels sola
flight decline was submitted to. Large operations wot
had, in both foreign anil domestic liquors, at advance
rates. Tbe former are now quiet, and tbi latter can on)
be told at prices materially below the* e recently ruliu>

Domestic produce generally baa been moderately a:

article, which Is regarded as but temporary, and cause
by the action of those who desire to further Increase aoj
plica A good deal of wheat has been suM,particularly t
the lower grades for distillation, and lor such qualities th
prices have been good. The better grades have not move
very freely, and they do not command Qgures as aaiisfat

of this grain is at present being purchased for expori

The most important news Item from tho republic of
a Nicaragua Is that Mr. Wyke, tho British Mmtsktr, has IS
0 succeeled in negotiating a treaty with President Mar
a tinea's Cabinet This information you can rely upon, for C
I have it from sn undoubted source. Tbe treaty 1b signed
f- by Mr. Wyke in behalf of Great Britain, and by the illg
ntster of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua, in behalf of the
is President of that republic, and only awaits tho ratlflcv
I- tion of the Congress to complete it, so far as tho latter
? government Is concerned.
It is understood that Great Britain, for a quid pro quo, Ft
' has, in this treaty, abandoned her protectorate over the
" Mosquito territory; but what tho equivalent is I have not sa
been able to karn, hut that the has relinquished her pre- to
1 tensions to exsreiso snv kind of jurisdiction over tho
Mosquito territory thoro can be no doubt
;t Mr. Dtmitry, United Slates resident Minister, did all tie ..
could, it is said, to prevent Mr. Wyke making a treaty,
but the latter succeeded notwithstanding. Why be should ru
have done so, In view of the fact that there la a perfect
> understanding between the governments of the United
States and Great Britain, with regard to the intentions of
i the latter in Central America, is inexplicable. I have hoard
' it asserted by good authority that tb<> very treaty whleh
Mr. Wyke cegotlated was actually submitted to the Cab;- Q"
net at Washington, and by them approved before being c
i forwarded to Nicaragua. At any rale, it ia well known ,
1 that tbo most partem accord on all the Central American
questions bad existed for some time past between the go i
reramenta of the United States and Great Britain, a tact 1
of which Mr. DimHry must have been fully aware. h
1 Mr. Wyke will remain at Nicaragua until alter U?e flnal
action of Congress on his treaty. Both be and Mr. lie

at revolution in tb.i South, instigated, it ia supposed, bp
Gun Kchi niij'!' and some of his followers It appears to
Lave been a revolt uf come of tho oillcera and troops of
the division of the Peruvian army, stationed in that seelion,
and commanded by Cen. Son Roman, as hie ai<14ecamp.
A cnlnni land many more odlcers, implicated, were
arrcfelid. This goes to show that Gen Eohonique, who
is aiming at tho overthrow of Preside tit Costilla, has sympathizers
an.org the fillers attached to tho regular army
of Peru;and it he should meet Castilla to the field, it IS
highly probable that many of the ofllcers and troops ^
the latter would abandon huu and go over to the former.
Ecbcnique appears to have abandoned all idea of invading
Peru, and i? cvidsutly awaiting tho movements of
CaMtlls, who has threatened to invade Bolivia.
President lunaies, of iho latter republic, Is known to
svrrpatblzo with Lcfterujue, an I should Cosuda attempt
to put bis threats into execution, it te generally believed
Ihut ho would share much worse in H .livla than he did la
Ecuador. With treason tr. his own camp, and a strong, umt
d and determined force to confront mm the moment ho
pule foot upon the toil of Bolivia, what else co'tid nc expi
ct but ? l"tal debar?
There ts nothing lik>- security to life or property here,nor
iu any ctber part of Peru; nor is there any confidence felt
!n the rtabi'ity of governtn< nt. Too public rabid is coeplni,Vy
excited by Dbberies that are commuted here
mil at Lima, In brad daylignt; and revolutions,
and rumors of revolutions, keep all classes la
% ptatc or ferment A more unhappy state of (hinge
could not ex -t any whrrrt; aud yet tb re appears to bo no
hope for acl auge for the better. Costilla, the ambtuonfl
President, or rather Dictator, of Peru, baa no regard toe
the public welfare of uis coantry. Instead of revaluing
at bis post to lock alter (be interest of Peru, and aitord
protection to lUe end property, be goes off to Ecuador
with a large army, for the purpose of advancing his own
personal fortunes, by tranii>llni( nrxui tlie rights of a weak
hut friendly r.rii-hbor, and, to enable him to do this, ha
Iihh uiad>< Pneb heavy drafts on the public treasury an
1 ftve well 11ik.lt es haunted it. It is not to bo wondernd at
that the people sympathize with General Eubnotqae m hit
i(torts to ovmUiow Camilla and reinstate bimseif.
A division of some two thousand troops have lately returned
(rem Guayaquil. The remainder Is exported to
arrive Boon, as Costilla has concluded a treaty of peach
with Ecuador, and there nan be no necessity or any of thn
troops remaining there any longer, unless it be that the
humiliating cuuui'ions imposed by one of the " bigb oonIractirg
partr s " may require the presence, of a military
force Id order to enforce obedience to his terms. Costilla
knows, or at least ha ought to know, tbat the very moment
bo withdraws Uis troops from Ecuador, the people of
that country will rise en nuns.. and drive Franco, his too],
from power, ignore bis treaty and set Llm at defiance.

Tbe only intelligence of any importance I have to com
mublcate by tbe steamer that leaves to day for Panama
is the final conclusion and publication of tbo treaty of
peace, &c , between President' os'illa, of Peru, aud tho
government bore, of bis own creation, which, backed up
by Peruvian bayonets, bos moet basely and wantonly
covenanted to le t Pern have nearly a thli i of the territory
of Ecuador. Tbe treaty u as published bore on tbo 30tb
uit.
The lifth article stipulated that the rovernm?nt (,f PV.ua
dor, luconsiderattou of the evidence pi n-luced by tho Pe
m\ Mil Minister, a ho cond uctmi the n'toUatkins in behaii
o. u;at guv? rami ut. cstab'.is lung the I ghlop IVro to the
territories of (Junes anil Oitcloa, daclsgl s void and of no
cllcct the groat made to the Englisu cruoitnrs, of aiiy portion
ot fan Trrritoura, and tU/uiarea tU-?t they shad be
n.'Hir.eiti. d by other lauds not in dispute, but which belong
to Ecuador.
The print ipul uociiraenUi prosrntrd by Pern toestablish
her claim to the territoryin qiiesl.ou were the royal letters
patent, of I6U1 ol' July, J Soli ureal Britain will
hardly submit to tuia summary treatment of her subject
wuo arc creditors of Ecuador.
The sixth article provides for the appointment of a
mixed communion, within two year.; from the ratification
of the convention, to settle the limits of the n.n,active
territories of I'etu end Ecuador, who are to determinethe
question of boundary by auch proofs as may be adduced
by both poilka. Meantime, both governments are to acknowledge
as the boundary thus iaii uowu in the treaty
of September, 1829, between Columbia and Pern, in conformity
with the li turn patent of 16th July, 180*2.
This last stipulation vtrtnaliy gives to Peru what aba
claims; and onco in possession of the territories of Qnjoa
and Caxieli'8, she will not bo likely to give tbem up without
a struggle.
The other articles provide for an aVTOuoe, offensive and
defensive, for the suppression of any unlawful expeditions
that may be fitted out in tho respective territories of the
contractu,!,* parties, by political exiles from either, and for
the exertiee ol strict surveillance over Ibepublic press of
both countries; that m to say, tbr.y agree that nothing
oflrnsivc shall be published again?t tho government or
people of either nation.
It Is not belloved here for ono moment that the people
of Ecuador Will submit to tho degrading terms of this
treaty. As soon ?, tAetilla withdraws his troops, it is believed
that a revolution will bioak out, having for its object
the overthrow of tho Franco party, which has been
placed in power by Costilla. He ha* already sunt soma
2,000 of his troops out of the country, and as soon as ha
sends the remainder, some .t.000, you may expect to hear
of his faithful ally, Frauoo, being sent to Peru by an outraged
people, to keep them company.
But if Oie'lila resliy expects to enforce the provisions
of the treaty, ho will leave a detachment of bis troops
here to support tbe government which ho has created; and
it is the opinion or many that he will do so.
Wo bavu rumois here that ex l'reakl.-ut Rubles contemplates
returning to this country, and that tletieral Flo res
also iDtends coming bnck, as his political friends now
sympathize with tho barctvMjrlno party, who aro at
the head of allaii a at Quito.

The election for delegates to the convention for examining
the Argentine constitution occurred in this province <m
December 25. Great precautions were taken by the go.
in every strong point, sevornl tons of gunpowder worn
broogbt within the city, unlicensed horsemen wan not allowed
to appear in the streets, and stringent rules wars
adopted to prevent attempts to Influence votes. To an outsider
there con id hardly be made more earnest disinterested
efforts to enforce order,and to obtain anexpreartot
of the people's will.
Aid yet Uve people, divided Into two great parties, seem
only to have gone to the polls with one sentiment. Tbs
party lately in power, which waa displaced by the demands
of Urquiza, and which is known as the unitarian
party, was most triumphantly clestcJ- Charges of fool
play, of mobe surrounding the polls and refusing admitunco
to any but friends, of protest, af appeal to arms,
have been rife for these two days; but the people are an
heartily sink of arms that they will most likely endure
what they call fraud rather than disturb the rues at
peace.
As in this country elections for Legislature are by general
ticket, and Conventions follow the same rule, them
can bo no opposition in the elected body?e party rules,
and the minority Is never heard.
The elements of strife are again gathered in this city.
Two men Whose powerful pens gave great service ti the
Urqutsa interest before his corniog?,-tenors Bilbo* autf
Cairo?have both returned. The letter Is a member of
the Argentine Congress, and returns to re edit tho Ktforma

which Injured both parties greatly.
