TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS

[The following Is the Letter referred to in $ Leading Article of
our Journal yesterday, and by mistake omitted.)

Srn—Your correspondent Q. has ably exposed the sophistries of
Mr. Forbes, the American Consul ; tor, ridiculous as that docu-
cument is, it is undoubtedly genuine. His meat ing is, that there
is only La Maria da Gloria cruising from Cape St. Antonio to Cape
Virgin. This immense coast has nothing to do with Buenos Ayres
or with commerce, and the La Maria da Gloria is not there for the
purpose of blockade. Had Mr. Forbes said there was r o ship
blockading that coast, he would have said truth, nor is that coast
included in the pmclamation of Adm. Lobo. The Maria da Gloria
is in pursuit of privateer*, who having no port to return to, plunder
the vessels, and then cast them away on the Patagonian shore: for
which mode of warfare I trust the Brazil Admiral will hang them
up to the-yard-arm, when he catches them. But all this has no re-
ference to the blockade.

'The condom of Buena, Ayrei, equally rub arid perfidious, has
placed that " sister republic," as Mr. totbes calls het, in a situa-
tion most harassing to his fraternal feelings. Iler revenue cannot
be said to be diminished, because all algebraists know that nothing
Is Incommensurable with something, and her present quarterly in-
come is XllOl. 04. Meanwhile, a storm is gathering, well meriting
the observation of the curious. The regions west of Brazil, north
of Humes Ayres, and south-east of Upper Peru, are peopled by
Indian nations, some sedentary and decendent, some warlike, but
the most considerable uniting w a with husbandry, under the tuition
of the Catholic Padres. This territory comprises Santa Cruz de la
Sierra of Upper Peru, Corrientes, Santa Fe, and Entre Rios of the
Buenos Ayres league, the :110110A. and Chiquitos, and lastly Pats.
guay. Under the auspices of the Paraguay Dictator, a union of
feeling has arisen among these nations, which will probably soon
break out into action. The design, as I conceive, is to make an
Indian league under the protection of an Inca, and to this design
Don Pedro, who had many grave reasons for disapproving it, is
now literally forced, by the conduct of the La Plata Congress, to
lend his sanction ; and the Emperor will probably become the me•
(Bator arid protector of the Paraguay league. In Paraguay the
number of warriors trained to atms is equal to that of the adults,
for military education keeps pace with religious and agricultural,
under the Padres. The Chiquitne, • nation of Christian warriors,
whose prolTered allegiance Don Pedro last year declined, consisted
in Ulloa's days of 4,200 families, and must now be greatly in.
creased, as their civilization was then in its infancy. In the regions
above enumerated there are not Creoles enough to make a mouth-
ful for the Ind ins; and if La Franries lag be unfurled, which I
suspect It is s. this moment when I write, the La Plata confederacy
will be exposed to no ordinary dangers.
