What that Minister, when addressing his colleagues
pell as the Duke, and in the presence of Don
hav7 dosed, in conclusion, " Let us, in God's name,
all „'• with petty quarrels and jealousies ; let us
-nite and act as one body, until we exterminate the
resuuTer and his gang ; and afterwards, if you wish it,
"te your differences ; because, as soon as that de-
insistl able object shall be accomplished, I for one shall

give up the portefeuilles which I hold."

ne,,,-raele them to defray such expenses as may be

ituesPeetable merchant at Vigo. My informant, who is
asrriueNc'eededfrom that place, assures me that the plan
