GSWITLEMEN REPRESUNTATIVILS—•The Government of the province of Buenos Aytes sees With the greatest satisfaction the opening of the seventh Legislative As sembly.. At this moment are realised the hopes con ;tired on the first days of the Revolution; therefore it presents itself with the fullest confidence to salute the Honourable Representatives, and to give a faithful account of the affairs confided to its direction. /4:ger- ' theless,it.ls not possible to do so with the same minute ness as heretofore, the war having paralyzed a portion Of the means of interior improvement; and for this rea son it can only speak of the most important point', as far as the actual state of the country will permit. Internal tranquillity has been the first object to which it directed ns attention, xatisfied that without that we should be condemned by the world, and be the derision of oor enemies. Past experience has not been sufficient to con vince us that the formation of a state is subjected to the general laws of nature, in which nothing can arrive at , perfection except slowly and progressively. The Go vernment, acting upon this principle. applied itself to the extinction of discord and re-establishment of the quiet of the interior, under whose shade alone can flourish' the real interests by which the nation must be h:reater united. It has the satisfaction to announce to you, that the result has corresponded with its hopes, and that reason has rarely obtained a triumph so easy and rapid in the midst of so much agitation. The Go vernment has cause to congratulate itself in the naming of the deputies who have acted in a negoci4tion so im- ' poitant. The provinces, in addition to having with drawn their arms from civil war, have given them a more noble direction, and have named representatives to form a Convention in the city of Santa Fe, which will probably have the good fortune to fay the founda tion of the national happiness. The negotiations for peace with his Majesty the Emperor of Brasil still continue, and there are well. founded hopes that the day is not far distant in which the war will terminate satisfactorily ; notwithstanding which, the Government. sensible that honour is the vital principle of ,nations, continues to support it at every. sacrifice, until peace can be realized; and hopes that, 4 should necessity require it, you will with pleasu're make every necessary sacrifice. The nations of our continent continue to give us proofs of their good wishes, and Great Britain renders us constantly the good offices of a true ft lend. The officers and forces by land and sea have displayed great constancy and bravery, and have obtained considerable advantagei, which recommend them to the res,,ect and gratitude of every good citizen. When it appeated that the war was at a stand, and that the . armies of the two ho t;le povaers faced each other, without, either being able to advance, ail intrepid chief. viith bandul of Argentines has recovered our old possessions of the " Misiones Orientales;" his force has been there. increased ? and the joy evinced by the inhaz bitants in returning to the bosom of the Republic, suf ficiently proves the absurdity of conquest. The cape ditioe.trom the north now marching to the same point, when united to the said force, will form a respectable army. the even •e of which isincOnsidersble, and which can easily combine its operations with the main army, and will piove the symbol of the concord and enthu siasm of the provinces. The militia of the city and the country, which had been almost dissolved and in a state rf nuliity, has been organised, and performs important services, enabling the troops of the line t be placed on the froisties a, and wherever their attentions may he called for iii the foreign war. Tne new line of irmitier is established: this undertaking, as desirable as it is important, commenced under the most atispscions circum• stances. The Indians, with whom the Government continues the measures of peace and conciliaßton with the mist happy effects, will no mote commit de predations with impunity, and the immense, acqui sitioo cf territory has doubled the guarantee of the public debt. so that this burden may be token off Ina short time, it it is found necessary.. But the most numrtiutt is, that in this establishment we have occu pied' the. interesting posit.on of White Bay (Bahia Blihca)..Which is surrounded with commodious hat bours,agricultural land, and extensive woods. Its maritime coasts abound with fisheries, and some ports, enabling us to have hereafter a tespectable marine, which will be the shield of the Republic. The com munication to Chile by laud, from the same point. is short arid convenient ; and the navigation of the Red Wirer (Rio Colorado) will perhaps afford a more (as, exportation a , f the produce of some of the interior pro vinces. The Government has ordered the land to be surveyed, acid to trace out the most proper place to erect a city, to be called the " N w Buenos Ayres." The importance to which it is likely to arrive gives it a claim to so glorious a title. The zeal manifested ip this undertaking, by all those changed with the execu tion of it, deserves the highest praise. Through the stagnation of our foreign commerce, that of the interior has rapidly increasechespecially those capitals that have been applied to agricultural purposes, labourers being ' abundant; from the cessation of the impress. In the midst of all this, the establishment of public grammar schools for children in the c;ty and country required particular attention. The Government took them into consideration, and having placed at tire head of theman individual who is wed known fur his phi lanthropy, it hal produced the desired effect. Private. colleges and houses of education have begun to be es tabli*beil the Government encourages by every imam this species of industry, the most useful for the coun try, anti hopes that in a short time it will not be neces sary for yoeths . to cross the seas, seeking the treasure of science with the danger of losing those sentiments which alone can 'be cultivated in their native land. The Ladies of the Benevolent Society have shown in the present year how much the nation ri indebted to them for their assiduous efforts to forward education. The Fublic schools continue in ;lie same state: that of San Miguel has improved. The works at the Cathedral Church, and of the high road to Ensenada, and the canal of San Fernando, are nearly completed. Many country towns have been assisted with funds to repair their churches, or to build new ones; and until, in pro cess of time, our laws and mist ims be improved, a new prison for debtors is fitting up. ' The hospitals, espe cially that for women, receive important improvements; the Government thus endeavoltring to alleviate the int fetings of the utifortunate. The important establishment aviecination has been augmented, and its utility has never been WM felt than at this moment; whilst the neighbouring provinces are visited bythe terrible scourge of the small-pox, it has scarcely been felt in this city, and the Government has put in practice every means entirely to eradicate it. The liberty of the Press has of late been greatly abused. Some ill advised persons have carried its. licentiousness to suck an extent as to bring discredit upon toe country among foreign nations, where it is . not possible to know that such productions only pro duce }'ere contempt for their authors. The law of the Bth of May his suppressed in part this licentious writing, and public opnion will by degrees banish ft. The administration of justice requires 4 change, from, which considerable advantages are expected. The Go- ; vernment will have the honour of laying it before you for your consideration. 'Of' all our domestic' warns,' none is more urgent than to fix, hi a certain and posi. tive manner, the basis of the National Bank.' This, eatablishment,. at present, requires the strongest gna 'ranters ; and to give diem, it will be only necessary to act with prudence. ! • As tie province of Beenoi Ares hat provided eis - Chisively the funds for the' defence of the nation, it is but fair to state that When the present•Adnsisistratioo shall have been one year in criQe in August next, they will have expended 1,000.000 of doliars less than they' had calculated upon. After having discharged enor• mons outstanding debts, established the froittier,ch thed o armed, and paid the army and navy, paid for the trans port and armament of the contingents from the pro vinces. provided the expenses of foreign affairs. and nearly all those of the convention. supplied the parks of artillery and magazine., having attnided at the same time to the internal expense of the province.— It is true that they have suspended for the present the pal ment of the interest upon the loan in Lon• don, and that this dreadful measure was foreseen in making the aboVe calculations, but it was one of those alternatives necessary to be taken. in order to avoid . greater evils: the operation of issuing paper in Buenos • Ayres to send gold to England would be like adding fuel to tire, and which in the end would devour 'all. 'The Government has the satisfaction . to Warn, by means r f a respectable house in idtdon,.to whom • iev con fi ded the management of thi. laffarr;; that 'die' 'Aden of the bonds have duly appreciated' the circuit. stakes of the country, not doubting that the' Govern- - ,bent intends to (as it most certainly will) remit to them ' upon the first opportunity, the funds necessary for the fulfilment of its engagements. Every day proves the necessity of placing the direct taxes eon a solid foun dation, and that the projects of law in that respect, ' submiued in the preceding Session, should receive your • sanction. as soon as possible ; the Government on its pan is prepared to give a new form to the made of col lection. The system of confiding to particular indivi. duals in fanning haunt might be very well at the com mencement, but now that' more information has been obtained upon the subject, it will be advisable to admi nister it by persons per manently emisloyed. with* ade quate Salaries, who can be promoted according to their aneiitt. . • The department of engineers, architects, and botanicat garde*, have been suppressed ; as will be also whet- de pat [merits arid expenses, nut btcause the Guvernment . did not recognise neir utility, taken in the afiiitact; but because they were in disploportion with its 'methi . to bust lin them, arid therefore served only as Orliin peal ance.
