A considerable sensation,...
A considerable swnsation, it will be remembered, was pro- duced some time since, by the publication of a prctendecl letter from Guavaquil, date( the 27th of Mlay, which first appeared in an evening paper, andl was afti.rwards copied into several of the morning papers. Its authenticity was inmmnedliately questioned, and by some persona it was un- hesitatingly denounced as an impudeiat fabrication. The paper in which it first appeared asserted, in its own vindica- tion, that the original letter had b.eu produced at'its office; but adled, that if it should (liscover tlhat it ha(d been iun- posedl upon, the fabricator shoul(d be dluly exposed. The dates froml the city of Liina conie now to th1e 16thj of Juue, and fi-om Guayaquil to the 1Rbh of July, andl show that not one of the events so minutely set forth in the said Guaya- quil letter occurredi, or any thing like them. Thc journal in question owves an explanation both to itself'and to the public.
