was hailed as such, aud exhibited spain IN |

and Of justice, and in sympathy with the
other powers Of the Christian and civillzcd |
world. Within the past few weeks the reg !
uations for carrying out the laws |
Of emancipation have been announced, !
giving evidence of the sincerity OF
intention Of the present Government 10

have not failed to urge the consideration |
OF the wisdom, the policy, and the justice Of

by a permanent peace between the same

The differences which at one sine threat
ened the maintenance Of peace be
tween Brazil and the Argentine Republic it
| Is hoped are in the way Of satisfactory dd.
justment With these States, rs with the Re
publics Of Central and South Amer
lea, we continue to maintain the
most friendly relations. IL Is

/ der the convention Of the 18th OF April /
1866. That Republic Is understood to be
