blished, their Governments agree to solicit, jointly

RESOLUTION OF THE GOVERNMENT.

The antecedent Preliminary Convention, made by
the Envoy of. the Republic to the Court of Brazil,
being submitted to a Council of Ministers, and con-
sidering that the said Envoy has not only violated his
instructions, but also contravened .both the.letter
and spirit of them, and that the stipulations con-
tained in the said Convention destroy the National
honour and attack the independence and all the
essential interests of the Republic, the Government
has determined and resolved to reject it, as de facto
it is rejected.
Let this resolution be communicated to the Sove-
reign Constituent Congress in the accustomed form.
