This Project contains fifteen Articles, of which the following
are the most important :
" 1. The Cones recognize in general the independenee of the
Continental Provinces of the two Spanish Americas, in which it
is de facto established.
" 2 and 3. From the date of this recognition hostilities shall
cease, and there shall be perpetual alliances between the govern-

shall be regulated by a separate negociation. The productions

A long debate ensued, which occupied the whole
of the Sitting. Several Members spoke against the
Report of the Committee, when the fuller discussion
was adjourned to the following day.
