“ I am happy to inform pots that affairs is this part of the

than could have been espeeted. The defeat and death of
the chiefs Ramirez and Guernes, who ruled in Lustre Rios

has also abated, and there seems now no obstacle to the
meeting of the general Congress at Cordova, where the De-
puties from several of the provinces have been fur some time
past waiting the arrival of the ethers.

by its well-tempered sod cuuciliating measures, and by the

'Wise oath the 114th November next.
Several debts were proved in the ordinary way.
Mr. Howard (the bankrupt;, as executer tu the late I.
Camper, who died ie 1010. proved a debt of 931/. The assets
of the property of the deceased had, be mid, twee paid into

Howard, in the year Hilt, and they were carried to the gene-
ral account of the ogee.
Some di.eassioss took place between Mr. Tradove mid the
Commissioner, Mr. Trebeek, in which the former endeavour-
ed to draw a distiaction in the responsibility for the antouut
due. The Learned Coursed contended that the debt was
due by Gibbs isidividoallto Howard, and not by the gene. But

Mr. Howard's admissibility to prove the debt epos the bank.

Mr. Carroll's solicitor applied to the Commissioners to

present meeting, is Consequence of the absence of Mr. Moe.
theue, who was his Counsel. The proof mould be had at the
seat 'meeting.
Mr. Trebeek said, that the Cosminissiosers world poelpone
It accordingly; the debt was a very large our, the "mistime
very important, and Mr. Carroll was perfectly right to await
the attearlance of iris Counsel.
111 r. Trealove milted Mr. Carroll whether be had brought
his books before the Commissioners, for that until that were
done it was quite idle to talk of pawing the debt.
Mr. Carroll said that be would advise with his own Coon.
set. not his uppoueots.
The Contorisrionere interrupted any further conversation
upon the account, by postpussing proof of the debt until the
next day of meeting.
One of the Commissioners observed that he had, yester-
day, heard from Mr. Montague. that be was not prepared to
say Mr. Corotl would go on with his proof at their meet-
ing that day, as Mr. Chitty was dies comulting epos the

Mr. Carroll said that he was certainly ready to go on with
his proof then, were his Commie! present.
The Commissioners ordered it to be adjourned until the
next day of meeting, sad then to be taken early.
It beiag four o'clock, the Conmeissiorsers were in the act

the Commissioners under peculiar circumstances. He was
. .

the owner of a debenture which was his sole dependence,
■nd it was is the hands of Messrs. Howard and Gibbs, w►o
refused to give it up to hiss.
In answer to questions from Mr. Treberk, the applicant
said that he owed the bankrupts 1001. fur which they detain-
ed his debenture; but understanding, by a public adver-
tisement, that the debts of the Duke of Marlborough were
about to be paid till, he wasted his debenture fur presenta-
tion to a Master in Chancery. Without doing so, he had
no chance of being paid, and the bankrupts held the is-
itrusseel.

The Commissioners referred the applicant to Mr. Shaw,
the provisional assignee, whir would, they thought, produce
it to secure any legal purpose for the ultimate owner.
The applicsut said, that all he wanted was not to be de-
prived of the interest be held in the debenture, if say oppor-
tunity of his realising his money nut of it was likely to
occur. He admitted that the bank►upts had a lien upon it,
for the subsuel mentioned, 1001.
The Commissioners said. diet the peovi•ionsl assignee
would, no doubt, do what was right. Upon refereace to him,
it would be seen what steps could be take, to secure to all
parties their respective interests.
The Commissioners thee adjourned.
