find the following passage in the letter of its Paris
correspondent, under date of june 16:

"The yaleudinary Minister M Guizoo was not less IN
trepd rhetorical and plausible than everj he could not IN

that he had fully co.operated with the British government
endeavorng prolong and fix the independence OF that
region. He preached theory and scheme OF balance Of
power for the American continent which means nothing
than the Limitation Of the aggrandzement Of our
