Hall of the Municipality, discussed ind agreed to the
following revolutions :
• The Pplitical Chief called the attention of the Conic
to a communication keceived from his Excellency Gene-
ral Jusi Antonin Pam, togethrr With the answers of the
Illustrious Municipality of Valencia, respecting the
. Commission conferred on Messrs. Jose Nunez Casares,
and Pedro Pablo Dias, by the proseedings of this-Court
on the sth instant, and stated at the same time, that it
was a matter of the first necessity to take this grave and
urgent matter into consideration, and deliberate on the
sesu'utions adopted by that Corporation in its Sessions
of the 27th and 30th of Aptil, as well as on the Ist,
10th, and 11th. instant, and more especially regarding
the propositions contained in this list.
The official communication of his Excellency General
Paez, dated Valencia, the 12th instant, was then read,
setting forth his concurrence with the sentiments of
this Corporation, and manifesting his wish to assist per-
sonally 'in this city, in promoting such arrangements for
the benefit of the people as circumstances might require.
The proceedings of the Illustrious Municipality of Va-
lencia, as presented to the meeting, by the Commis-
sioners, were then read, and it was proposed by the
• Recorder of the Court, that although the Intendant had
in the meeting of the 6th inst. stated his opinion, of the
- illegality or invalidity of its proceedings, it seemed to
him expedient to invite his attendance on the present
occasion, n•ming for this purpose a Commissioner, who
. should be likewise authorised to inquire whether he en-
tertained the same sentiments as he expressed on the
meeting of the 6th instant. This proposition being dis-
, cussed, and put to the vote, it was unanimously carried,
except as far as related to ascertaining the sentiments of
the Intendant, which was deemed irrelevant to the

matter. The President then appointed to this Commis-
sion, the Recorder of the Court, and Fernando Acosta,
wbo, after an interview with the defendant, returned,
and stated that he had every desire to co-operate with
the Municipality and people, in such measures as they
might take.f'r the public happiness and tranquillity,
under the present circumstances, but that he required
that the invitation should be made in writing, elating
the objects in view, or, if not, that the Municipality
vniild be pleased to transmit him.an account of its,
proceedings.'
Alter a short discussion on this reply of the Intendant,
the Municipality resolved on sending hint a written in-
Citation, by means of the same Commissioners, merely
liming therein, that these Gentlemen would give him
the reluitea information respecting tl:e motive of the
invitaucm. The Intendant replied in writing, that he
would immediately repair to the Court House, which
be did forthwith, and atter a second perusal of the letter,
of his Excellency General Paez, and At ultimate act of
