remained in an nDdisturbed aud tranquil
state, add which was supposed would con-
tinue till the meeting of the Cortes-( the
beginning Of JuIy.) That period was
looked for with much interest and anxiety,
as the commencement of new state OF
things to the thorough destruction Of the
/: old system. Nothing had transpired from

lieved however, that the Cortes will make
a merit of necessity, and that the most
liberal policy will be adopted. This course

John Revey, lad of colour l3 years

are favoured with cool breezes from of
the sea-coast.''
