by their respective deputies, that they may, as mach as
its thesis lies, promote the general weal.
Art. 2. All obstacles to the friendship and gruel bar-'
ninny of the provinces of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe, anti
Entre ltioe, created by a creel sea bloody isPr, rxeitedl
by the ambition and criminal views of certain men who
heel usurped the power of the nation, and despised the
instruction of the towns which they represented in Fen- !
geese, being removed, all hostilities shall cease fr the
elate of this convention, the belligerent troops retiring

vine's.
Art. 3. The tiovernmente of Santa Fe anal Entre Rios,
Loth in their son and in that of their provinces,

to which the sister-provinces have been titductal by the
invasion with which they are threatened by a foreign
I uwer, which, a ith great forces, oppreeses the allied
province of the Banda thin:tel. 'I her leave to the re-,
Met:lion of citizens, so interested in tile national lode- I
pendence a nil happiness, to calculate. the anseunt of
sacrifices which resistance will cost tln.se provinces to
an imposing army; and they expect from their gtaterte-
site and patriotism, assistance proportions-II to the dii-

'Pity must, therefore, answer the demands of public jus-

We are informed, that while strangers were excluded
from the House of Connuons on Lord A. Hamilton's
smtion, on Monday, the debate was renewed, and a
timber of must important particulars came to light. Mr.
W. Douglas (brother to tie Marquis of qiecitherry)
strongly supported Lord A. St.'s second Itesobition ;
deeluring the reluctance he felt at opposing the Wit...ra-
iment, with which he generally voted, and always de.
s.red to vote—but, he Wed, that he had been in Sent-
1.. -4 lately, and could bear witness to the " universal
! -tinge of surprise and reprehension excited all liver
11'e country, by the extraordinary haste shown in filling
ti:i the vacant-v." It was also stated by Mr. tdroughant,
it: the course of his speech, that the concurrence of the
Four Chiefs in recommending, five Barons to be conti-
nued, merited very little attention ; hecause, of these
tour, three were placed in peculiar ciretonstances, the
Chief Heron having only just been appointed, and the
Lord President being Sir P. Murray's brother-in-law.
He added, that its England, it was a known (act, that
the rarity side of the Court of Exillegner had never
been ritually divided since Sir K. %Valpole's time. Mr.
Canning' protested that the resignation of Mr. Adam,
and subsequent appointment of Sir P. Murray, were
events wholly nnexpected, and not in contemplation of
the tiovernment when the Bill respecting Mr. A.'s salary

minsW the Nonce that he Isa.l himself brought these
maters before them last summer, in connexion nith the
Kejlbrt of the Commissioners, then on the table, though
not printed. To this uo answer was made.
