, The closest intimacy suLsis,s be,x.,
the governments Of Chile and Bc.,o|
Ayres. O'Higgins told Mr.. Bl,Dd a,
there was nothing which Buenos Ar,.
could ask Of Chile that would no, be gr,D,
ed; and that Bueios Ayrs would act /;
like manner towards Chile. All the iDb,
bitants of Buehos Ayres are naturaluedc;
tizens Of Chile. The supreme directO,, b
way of characterizihe the intimacy ail
they were as two bodies actuated BY on

having been confined in one Of the
