The circular, after stating the pur
pose of holding a general assembly,
quotes the conolusious of the oiroular
addressed by the secretary of foreign
relations of Ecuador to the foreign
office of all the republics of America:
"The enlightened government of
your excellenoy is doubtless aware of
the necessity of such an assembly, be
cause it shall be called to decide some
point of vital importance, both poli
tical and commercial, to all the Ameri
can republic. At present, and in con
sequence of the development which
those republics have shown, through
the efforts of their own children, and
through the progress necessarily pro
duced by time, study and industry,
each one of them has become import
ant and their mutual interests, and
even their own safety, require that
representative of all of them should
meet and discuss an agreement upon
all matters relating to their welfare
and liberty, making, therefore, upon
the basis of justice and brotherhood,
the publio law of America. By so do
ing, greater respectability shall be ac
quired, conflict shall be avoided and
peaoe between our republics and the
other nations of the world shall be assured."
