There Is, however, marked difference ~ the in

France the nation had existed for ages as d sepa.

Of history and the recognition OF It's new Govern

Of the nation; but, with respect TO new Powers,
the recognition ottheir Governments comprehend,
first an acknowledgement Of their ability to exist
as independent States, and secondly, the capacity
Of their particular Governments to perform the du-
ties and fulfil the obligations towards foreign Pow.
ors incident to their new condition. Hence, more
caution and elaboration are necessary in consid.
ering and determining the question ofthc acknow-
edgmcnt of a new Power than that of new Go
