This proceeding comes to just this:-Presdana Pieros
says, Don't take it i'll that send your Minister back -

capital for his aggrandizement by inducing In
precision among his turbulent constituents that he has
succeeded in bullying the arnaon Brushers" /" he win
ass ent to propositions which claim and deserve ASSEM-
upon their merits and independent Of any other
stterations whatever.
Then comes the queston-and a very grave and i'm
