IL is impossible not TO consider its publication as an act of
the most serious nature. The complaints made by the
President against the pretended unfulflment of the en-
gagements entered into by the Kings Government. in
consequence of the vote of April ], 1884. are not only
strange from the inexactitude upon which ,lav ar,

undersigned gave direct to the Cabinet at Washington.

Inc PRESIDENT %supposes, it is true, dat the Chambers
might nave been re-aSscmbcd before the last month of
thc year Ie34, but even had the session been rc.opcncd
some lew weeks earlier, which from several canscs u,s

10 the Chamber of Deputies, when the arrival of the No.
sage, creating an establishment at least equal TO the inst
irritation II failed not to excite, forced the government IN
