much when we saw Pezuela appointed

mit,ed tha. the selection Of this fuac-
tionary was in accordace with The wishes
OF the Aberdeen ministry. And for
what Vic.oria's government desired him! !!
Because of his known invelera,e hoslili-
ties to The United States and their instruc
,ions, as manifested during his residence
al Porto Rico, as Captain General, and
Afterwards at Madrid"
