sers. It will be the new Minister of Foreign

Cortes, and it is added that it means to cause the
new elections to take place on the 15th Sept., and

Catalonia, General Dulce, will remove the state of

TION.—At a meeting of this body, held yesterday ,a
Liverpool, it was stated that the differences with the
London Association had arrived' t such a pass that the
