.. Lospox, December 10.
II is reported, that after much discussioD.
il was agreed between the Ministers of the
five great powers, that the DegociatioH be-
tween Spain and her Colonies, under their
mediation, should bs carried on 10 France.
and thar the matter is now so far advanced,
that the claims Of the Province Of Vcns zueIa
will mos, probably be taken as the basis Of
the pegocistioh, viz. -
That tho supremacy OF Spoin shall be ac-
knowiedgcJ on the following eoudnicos
/. The establishment Of Provincial Assem-
blies on fair ond just represenlaiion OF the
iohabuan,s Of edeh district.
g That a large proportion OF South Ame-
rican natives shalt have admission 10 places
of tiu., and authority.
3 That they shall have tho sole tight Of
taxing themselves.
4. That they shall have free trade With
all The world end
s. That there shall be no restraint on any
species Of cultivation cr industry, o. of i'm
port or export, but such as their own assem-
hlies shall impose.
This we give merely as q rumor, without
IN the least degree pledging ourselves for its
correctness.
