It is a translation from the Spanish, by Ci
JOIE MORINO GUERRA, Deputy for the Prowl
of Cordova. It is distinguished by just and lil
principles, Hod contains powerful and conch
arguments in favour of the independence of '
America. The following is an extract :
" Let us tear off the veil which base sod deceitful
lives had thrown before oar eyes, i• pereveat the alTv
America from being examined. That part of the

more. This event, so important to all Europe, requi
absolute change in our policy, in our finances, and
the beanebes of our administration ; fur, to reason

sources, must reform the three-fourths of ita enemies,
