`.`.lVe, the representatives of that portion of the
sirerittsh public, claimants under the law of 1851, the
impression to approach your honourable Chamber with the
v.4...Pression of profound respect for your august
eathly and for the Spanish nation, whom you re-
present.
s"We have observed with satisfaction that his
—"elley the Minister of Finance of Spain, in the
4tehiell t
made by him on the introduction of the
„ 'oget to the Cortes on the 10th inst., has drawn
e attention of your honourable Chamber to the
11ertance of authorising the Government to pro-
'e to an adjustment of the claim which we re-
Presecl
ent in accordance with the honour and interest
41‘` We beg respectfully to express to your honour-
-5 Chamber lac , our conviction that an early and
leßlactory settlement of this question will prove no
41e84!tdvantageous to Spain than to the parties im-
',lately interested therein.
EEIt has been with sincere regret that we have
sthe interruption which has taken place since
t° financial intercourse between Spain and
ngland.
re: Englishmen have always entertained the highest
theta for the Spanish nation, and they have shown
by confidence in the zood faith of that country
ally °a" of money in past years, and there has
frieap existed a strong political sympathy and
11L8hip between the two nations.
for ,`mi " e shall rejoice to see a restoration of the
to financial relations between the two countries,
the eir mutual benefit, and we ardently trust that
Ahoy enlightened wisdom of the Chamber may
tly lead to this desirable result.
