its con,iseness, clearness and good sense.
We learn from VI Castillo that the Republic
enjoys perfect tranquility: two or three states
in which some elements of dIscord had ap-
reared, having become decided in their adhesion
to the new system. The country generally was
aiso healthy. with the exception Of Vera Cruz,
where the yellow fever was prevailing to an unu'
sual extent, chiefly among the troops and the
sodiers' families, who are chiefly from the inte-

Resolced. That il COMFORTS with the views
and wishes Of the people Of this State, that the
people of the Eastern Shore Of Mary land aud Of
this state, should be united under one govern
ment, and that the region OF country inhabited
by them respectively, should be denominated the
