#Vlslon Tor lhe necessary resources which the ad
ADMINISTRATION must have at its command TO carr
aon the government during the interim. Tha
E3s' the Mexican administration is placed in tn
Iapredlcament that we can imagine the govern
#ment OF the United States would be in if tn
" unlted States Congress adjourned sine die with
Aout making any OF the usual appropriations.
" Inc Mexican administration fully appreciates
Il the condition of the distracted country which
as called upon TO govern without means. Th
Evil be seen by the note addressed by the cabiDe
Z 10 the chamber of deputies, Just before its ad
#lournment, and by President Atista's speech a
the adjournment We translate the cabinet,
communication, as follows:
"Already, on several occasions. the govern
Snent has made known to the national legisla
8ture the veritabe situation of the republic, ant
today, at the very moment of the final adjourn
nent, " again asks the august chambers to take
some decided step whereby to rescue the gov
ernment from the difficult position in which il
VIII be placed, without powers or resources, and
i to save the nation from the necessary conse
aquences Of such crisis

4the simpication of the action of the govern.

rise during the congressional vacation, by au
'horlzlng 1t to take in concert with the govern.
Il nent council, or with special committees, to be
aaamed by one chamber or both, the resolutions
4 nscessitated, such resolutions to be put in exc.
;uton under the responsibility of the ministry.
The cabinet does not misunderstood the po.
'iiion in which it places itself in demanding a
ameasure which seems to embrace an increase Of
1 he powers Of the executive; bat il does not
hesitate 20 accept this position, because Il at, in
reality it IS not the ministry which will have to
exercise these increased powers and, Further that
4 N taking this step, it accomplishes its imposed
duty to hesitate at no personal sacrifice for the
safety Of the country"
This communication, signed by Messrs Ram
#rez, Fonsecca, E'parza and Robbez, was referred
Ito an appropriate committee, which Immediately
rendered a,report. 1t concluded thus:
"There is no reason why the demand made to.
lay by the government for extraordinary powers
lshould be granted"
The report was Immediately taken into con
federation and discussed long and animated
debate followed, and the committees report was
FINALLY adopted by vote OF IA yeas to l3 Maya
1t was thought that, after this decided check, the
ministry would resign, but it did not.
The Presidents address to the Congress all
ithe last moment of its session was as follows !
