What a comment on Peru is it that her best citizens prefer an ignorant usurper, solely because he has the physical force to maintain the usurpation; that an honest government is 51 of less importance to them than the process of obtaining it. This subject of Peruvian politics is a disgusting one, and I will endeavor not to mention it again, unless I should happen to stumble on to the Price Current and naturally connect the two things together. The officers of state, army and navy, and foreign am...bassa- dors in their various uniforms, were present at the ball, and, with the ladies gayly attired, made the assembly a brilliant one. I was rather disappointed in the beauty of the ladies, after what I had heard of their charms; but perhaps I went expecting too much.
