PROPOSITION OF THE GOVERNMENT SUBMITTED TO THE
CORTES RELATIVE TO THE EX-SPANISII ESTATES OF
SOUTH AMERICA.
" To the Cortes :

" The Government of her Majesty has allowed to be
presented to it certain agents of some of the new states
of Spanish America, with which, as the Cortes already
know, negotiotions have been entered upon for arranging
treaties of peace, friendship, and commerce, between
Spain and those countries.
" Some of them have been already arranged by the Go-
vernment to the point of being enabled to carry them on
alone, but no agreement can be entered into on this point
without our recognizing those respective states as inde-
pendent nations, by renouncing all territorial rights or so-
vereignty over them.
" Such recognition and renunciation are not among the
faculties of the Crown, in consequence of the articles 10
and 173 of the Constitution, and of the fourth restriction
of the 172 d article—and, consequently, the Government
is under the necessity of applying to the authority of the
Cortes.

" But, in order that the Cortes should in their decision
proceed with full knowledge, the Government thinks it to
be its duty to intbrm them, that in its opinion it is not wor.
thy of the nation to lay a price on such an act, neither are
there grounds sufficient for it, and also that some of the
new American States consider that it is not in their power
to grant to Spanish commerce greater advantages than to
the most favoured nations.

" The Government of her Majesty, therefore, by order
of the Queen Governess, and through the medium of the
undersigned Secretary of State, asks from the Cortes—if
they, under the aforesaid stipulation, shall think it proper—
an authorization to conclude, notwithstanding the said
articles of the Constitution, treaties of peace and friend-
ship with the new States of Spanish Am6rica, on the basis
of the recognition of their independence, and the renuncia-
tion of all right of territory or sovereignty on the part of
the ancient mother country, always providing that no com-
promise shall therein be made of the honour or interests of
the nation.
