political affairs, which may prove interesting
when all are keenlv watching the progress OF

cannot well be scllied without such conferences.

rearo, far from being useless, will b. even more
necessary. The more distant States are omitted
in this call, proicssediy On account OF their dis
lance. VIVA, the purpose OF this meeting is, we
can only conjecture.
