occupied with the conversion scheme started by Ba-
ron de Lagos. The procurator Of finance, 10 whose
consideration 1t had been referred, had reported fa-
vorably upon it; and it was expected that conn
c OF ministers would very soon be held, TO decide
finally upon the subject, when il was thought it
would be approved OF by the Portuguese govern
ment. Nothing further had tran:pired concerning
the negotiations for the commercial and slave trade
treaties with Great Britain. IL was generally under
stood that the Duke of Pamela would Join the adj

and distinction On the I4h the brother of sid
HAMA arrived at Tlemcen from the camp of Abd-el-
