The newly adopted Constitution Of the RspsN.
of New wGrsns6s, or-to adopt the phrsscolsU
,h., document i.self-of tie "Gransdisn CoafI

the settlement of any disputes which may sia

but subject ~ revision by the Central Gosernusa

protract negotiation, at least where any mater
much importance is involved.
Another act recently passed, relative to poacs
regulation of ports has excited good deal Of con-
mept on tho part of citizens Of A,piuwSL Tais
act provides that the ports of the islands Of tho
confederation, both on the Atlantic and PsoSs
shall be closed te foreign commerce apd opoa ~
To the coastiDg trade. Some apprehension u ks
that this law Is simed against the rising cVN
Aspinwall, which is situated, in fact on an islGA
though connected with the mainland by the na.
road. 1t does not, however. appear az yet tlA
the law WAS enacted with any such object. Ppk
ably 1t was intended merely to prevent sny Of W
numerous islands along the coast, and wholly L
connected from the msinland, of which AspnwA
may now be considered a part, from being used for
smuggling operations.
