ceived here. IL states with positive
ness the attitude and policy of
Venezuela upon the exact subjects

that tho present ultimatum is a re-
petition Of the demand made by Great
britain in November last. AS Great
britain had no minister in Venezuela,
relations being broken off, the Ger
man minister consented to act in pre-.
senting the British demand. Vene-
zuela promptly rejected the demand
and refused 10 give the assurances
Great Britain asked.
