less 3uenos Ayres agrees to the proposition
made by him, that he will Garry on the war
with rrdonblrG vigor--and his propositions
are sucn, tina, thi, government never can listen
to, unless involving herself with internal wars
This place Is in dreadful situations all credit
and confidence is LOST; and were ii in the power
Of ibis Ciy alone TO make peace on The hasty
Brazilian proposition, the provinces t S"rta

The greatest prof Of the wars continuing is
