are chiefly of long standing and would occupy large
portion OF your valuable space The latest cause OF griey-
auce against las Excellency is he following
The proprictors OF the destroyed warehouses applied
for permission to again build them it being requisite here
TO obtain permission to alter rebuild mans house

issued circular, calling junta or meeting of all the
propctors of the warehouses be presided by Br
gadcr Echevarria the political governor of this city

in the community, having assembled, Brigad1er
Echevarra took his seat Its PRESIDENT and opcned the
proceedings by reading IN an impressive tone Of
the circular issued calling the meeting OF the
.unta Tile circular, have heard contained rather

Is bestowed.
