and by all the members of her former
ministry, all OF whom received copies.

visors, whether native or foreign, is not
encouraging to the friends of good gov
ernment or American interests. The
Americans. who. for over half century,
have held commanding place in the
councils of state, are ignored, and other
nationslitiss, the English especially,
placed in charge. This is true both of
the special list OF advisors and the sup
Elementary lists."

the ex-queen and referred to by Willis,
