Minister O’Brien to the Secretary of State.
Montevideo, March 16, 1906.
Sir: I have the honor to inclose herewith a chronological record of the different administrations of government of the Republic of Uruguay from November, 1828, when the general constitutional and legislative assembly was installed, to March 1, 1906.
This record shows, among other things, that during the seventy-seven years since the adoption of its constitution the Government of Uruguay has had 15 Presidents, 4 Vice-Presidents who became Presidents, 15 presidents of the Senate who exercised the duties of President without relinquishing the duties of the presidency of the Senate, 5 dictators, a triumvirate of dictators, and 4 provisional governors, with 1 triumvirate of governors.
This is the first of a series of papers being carefully arranged by me from the government records, intended to give a complete chronological history of the political and financial affairs of the Republic since the adoption of the constitution.
I am, etc.,
Chronological record of the different administrations of government of the Republic of Uruguay from November, 1828, when the general constitutional and legislative assembly was installed, to March 1, 1906.
