It appears that on the 19th Jany, the Cortes in a secret
sitting, appointed a Committee of nine to take into
consideration certain propositions on the affairs of
Council of State. The propositions were eight in number
& seem to have been intended as suggestions of different
means which the Cortes might adopt for adjusting the differences
between the American States & the mother
country. The means thus proposed by the Government
were—

1. To conclude an armistice with the trans-marine
provinces.

2. To open a kind of judicature for adjusting grievances,
consisting of Deputies from the provinces, & Commissioners
from the Cortes.

3. To empower the Commissioners from the Cortes to suspend,
with respect to the ultra-marine provinces, such articles
of the Constitution as they may judge injurious
to the said provinces.

4. To suspend, with regard to Ultramarine, the degrees
relative to the suppression of Monarchical Establishment
& privilege of the Clergy.

5. To establish freedom of commerce between the Peninsula
& the Ultramarine provinces.

6. To concede to the said provinces freedom of commerce
with Foreign Powers, limiting the said intercourse to the
period of six years.

7. To settle the distribution of the common lands, not
only near the towns, but in the interior of the country
according to a law passed by the last Cortes.
