 Foreign Attains, SeQor Barrenechea, addressed 

 a circular to the representatives of the allied 

 republics, proposing to them the formation of 

 a permanent confederation. He submitted to 

 the consideration of the allied Governments the 

 following plan : 



Every year succeeding the 1st of March, 1868, 

 there shall be on assembly of plenipotentiaries 

 from tho republics of the Union, that shall delib- 

 erate on tho measures to establish and maintain 

 the Federal ties, occupying themselves in prefer- 



vith the following: To revise the Treaty of 

 Alliance of January 12, 1866, specifically stipulat- 



M the conditions relative to the state of war 



Miahi, and all that haa relation to the adjust- 

 ment of pence. ; examine and decide the questions 

 that may arise between any of the allies, whether it 

 has relation to the execution and observance of exist- 



aties, or any other motive ; to give uniformity, 

 .-<> tar as jtiis-ililf, to the Legislatures, political, civil, 

 criminal, commercial, and public instruction ; also, 

 custom-houses, type of money, extradition, etc., etc., 

 in tho four republics ; to establish, in common, 

 roads, post-houses, telegraphs among themselves an,d 

 in connection with other nations ; to adopt an inter- 

 national plan of immigration from Europe and the 



1 States ; to examine existing treaties with 

 foreign powers, whether they are political, commer- 

 cial, or navigation, or postal, or any nature whatever, 

 and fix tho bases upon which such treaties can be 

 made, e>t:il>lishiug the principle that no treaty can be 

 sanctioned without previous examination and com- 

 mon approval ; to write and stipulate with other gov- 

 ernments for treaties that would be of practical utility 



Tnion and good understanding with all other 

 nations ; to accord tho necessary measures, to draw 

 close the bonds and make them more practical and 

 more permanent to the union of the allies, adjusting 

 more definitely the Federal Paeto and the allied con- 



n. The first assembly will meet at tho place 

 where tho allies shall designate. When closing its 



is the assembly will designate the place of 

 meeting of the following session, taking into consid- 

 eration the nature of the questions that it has to treat 



upon, the principle of alternity, and all other circum- 

 stances that in. rit to be taken into consideration 

 plenipotentiaries. The expenses that we at- 



iinii tne organization 01 a federal service, diplomatic 

 and consular, would probably be the result of the 



.il I'nion. 



The plan liad previously been communicated 

 to the ministers of Chili and Bolivia, and re- 

 ceived their approval. 



I'HIU.II', -loiiN. K. A., an c'nin.-nt English 

 genr6 painter, born in Aberdeen, Scotland, May 

 19, 1817; died in London, February 27, 1867. 

 His father was a working shoemaker in Aber- 

 deen, and ho began life as a house-painter, 

 varying this employment by paintirg the i. 

 of children on small cheap japanned tin cnps 

 for the dealers in those article-. From this 

 humble beginning he rose by his genius and 

 energy to high distinction as a painter of life 

 and manners. He early turned his attention 

 to portrait-painting, and, though yet a boy, had 

 acquired some reputation in his art, when his 

 zeal led him .to work his passage to London on 

 board a coasting vessel, to visit the Exhibition 

 of the Royal Academy. On his return to Scot- 

 land, his pictures attracted the attention of Lord 

 Panmure, through whose timely assistance he 

 was enabled to revisit London, and became a 

 student in the Koyal Academy. This was in 

 1837. Having settled in his profession in Lon- 

 don, he soon came into notice by his pictures 

 of Scottish life, of which "Presbyterian Cat- 

 echising" (1847); "A Scotch Fair" (1848); 

 " Baptism in Scotland " (1849) ; " Scotch Wash- 

 ing " (1850) ; " The Spae-wife of the Clachan " 

 (1851) ; were the best examples. He visited 

 Spain in 1850-'51, for the restoration of his 

 health, and being strongly attracted by the 

 new and fresh character of tbe subjects there, 

 painted thenceforth mostly Spanish subjects, 

 and acquired from his brother artists tbe sobri- 

 quet of " Philip of Spain." The best of ; 

 were his "Spanish Mother," "Letter-Writer 

 of Seville," " Spanish Contrabandistas, " The 

 Daughters of the Alhambra," "Youth in 

 Seville," " Spanish Water - Drinkers," " La 

 Gloria," "The Prayer of Faith," " The Prim 

 Window," and "A Chat round the Brassero." 

 He also painted an excellent portrait of the 

 Prince Consort, and, by royal command, a pic- 

 ture, of " The Marriage of II. R. H. the Princess 

 Royal," as well as "The House of Commons," 

 ordered by the Speaker. Mr. Phillip was 

 made an associate of the Royal Academy in 

 1857, and became Royal Academician in 1859. 

 His pictures were very popular, and brought 

 enormous prices. He had never<enjoyed thor- 

 oughly good health, and about rive weeks before 

 his death had been stift'ering under an attack of 

 low fever, from which he had nearly recovered, 

 when he was attacked with paralysis while on 

 a visit to his friend Mr. Frith. Ho was re- 

 moved to his own house in a senseless condi- 

 tion, from which he did not recover.
