has already been published in this country. These

ceases, he wig proceed by a friendly transaction with the then
existing Authority in Buenos Ayres, en tole put of the United

(Here follow the Signatures].
The above is the order in which the Articles of the
said Treaty were discussed in the Secret Sitting of
the 10th of December, 1817, and entered on the
Journals of the Congress, with the debates which
took place on the occasion, thus constituting the
Treaty in a complete form, now existing between.
the Portuguese Government and Buenos Ayres, and
which has been so logg kept secret. On a cgrefui
examination, it will be found in direct bostßity to
Spain, so pointed are some of the chips*; tial we
make no doubt this interference on the part of Por-
tugal is at present one of the chief points of differ-
, cute still caisting between the c.ihincts of Madrid
