il is not unlikely that the result may be arrangement
between the commissioner OF General Ulquiza and the
government OF Buenos Ayres 10 which Lagos or some
else will not conform, SO long as they can hnd per-

in the rural districts OF this province. We think, how

The British Packet gives the following review of poll

This step must increase the difficulties of the pending
negotiations. Will Lagos waive his pEetensons to the

Private letters from Buenos Ayres state that both con-

that capital to assist IN bringing about compromise OF
the existing difficulties and enbsrrassmens, and very
great expectations are aimed that his mediation will
