portance from the seat of Government. The pro.
nune,amcnto OF The Stale OF San Luis had created
some excitement, and the Ministers were about
making reply o what is termed so "rebeliious"
document. II is in contemplation 10 send The
response 10 all the States. There was no quorum
OF members present, although several meetings
of those in attendance had been held When shall

| Pena Pena is in The Presidential chair; but
Notwithstanding the appea in his recent address,
the members do not come together. The bold
stand taken by The important Stale OF San Luis
appears 10 have taken Inc Supreme Government
by surprise. As its policy and course in relation

We have some curiosity 10 see the document
which is promised in rcpiyto the San Luis mani
