with Resits at Buenos- cation, and which it too political was generally considered too favourable to the Dictator,
little consulted the interests of the very numerous body_of Fm merchants and adventurers at Monte Video. As reporter. of the Com- mittee on the treaty, M. Napoleon Daru proposed to disallow the treaty, and to take a course the nature of which he left to the re- sponsible Government,—meaning that Government should adopt some warlike coercion.

On Tuesday, M. Thiers came down prepared to make a for- midable attack on Ministers ; but he was silenced by a hremorrhage from the mouth; his tongue, it is said, failing him in his new Le- gitimist part, under the infliction of a cancer.
