counsel Of the @ mpaDy and enci0ses an .opinion
Compspy, the opinion Of their COUNSEL makes the
slightest suiion to the appointment Of Gen. Walker o.

ignored entirely the existence Of the old established gov
ernneot at Leon, and choose raher TO rely upon the
fccn at Granada in whore behalf the eouasel had bsen
actively inter etng himself aud compromising the
psny BY acts reasonable TO the government.
The entire areur ent Of the council based upon the
total sbregati the Leon government and the auth
Iiy General Walker sgent the first instance

The fsc,s OF he show the contrary and the
The company were quite we'll aware Of this.
As the opinion o. council IL referred to by the Pre-.
s.1 Of the Tn: G sss Of

esses to have viewed the affairs pending between the
The opinion ADMITS that the company waited 'the arr

very nearly to the d. Of the opinion, would it
be violent presumption to assume that ths com

was known that the government determined 70
close matters with the company.
Ater admitting that tie company waited two steamers
to hear from the government, the counsel says In
the very rext paragraph that ong before the receipt
OF The letter of Mr. French the power Of settlement had
passed from the hands of both the State and the
pany snd had by the very terms Of the charter become
vested solely In The commissioner"
We ask the oourse In all seriousness how long before
power had uased from the parties, even II the commits
toners had already hem appointed by the company,
and what "srms Of tie charter vest power in four
conn ist toner's

steamers had order to hear the ve~s OF the
government upon which counsel Supposed
