0 ' the Cortes, to whom was ret erred a
memorial on the subject Irom the aecre

tion ot tile Cor tes.
The report of the Committee was dis
cussed at great length on the 4th ami 3th
August, tbe principal speakers taking part
in the debote. The Secretary of the De
partment of the Colonies argued in favor
of the adoption of the propositions, and
stated that the government had already
sent out commissioners with powers which
did not exclude the admission of the basis
of Independence. The propositions were
opposed on various grounds—some mem
bers contended that to acknowledge the
independence of the Provinces would be a
violation of the Constitution; others, that
it ought not to be dune unless very ad
vantageous terms were allowed to Spain
in repuital—others, that the Cortes should
wait and see what the commissioners al
ready despatched had accomplished—a
few denied that ihe provinces were fit for!
, I , I ,
Independence, or able to maintain tliem-j
selves against the ambition of the hurope-jvolted
an powers. The propositions were finally
rejected by a vote of 33 to 43.
We infer from the tenor and result of
. , , . 4 .. .. * .
this debate, that the conventions or trea
ties which have been already made be
tween tlie Spanish Commissioners and the
government of Mexico and Buenos Ayres
resnectivelv will not be ratified in Hnain
