A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH. • • •
The Spanish Commander at Buenos Ayres ,wtht,
born in. 1758, at Niort, in the Province of Poitpu
in France. His father, Count De Litifka, died a
Major in the service of Louts XV.—ln 1791, Don
was,a t.teutetunit of the Dditrines,'tand
Knight of the Order of Malta ; in whic'b Island ,fre
resided as an Emigrant, when treachery delivered it
up to NAPOLEON lITIONAPAKTE. With other Freda:h.
Emigrants, he was forced to embark three 'days
afterwards in a Spanish Vessel, and was • landedlat
Barceloni. By the recoMmendation of the,DakeXp
Sr. Stitliioll he obtained the cuMinission of a Cattr
lain of Infantry in the service of his Spanish Mu•
jesty. In that capacity he petitioned the fliikisb.
Government, in Iso3, for apension, as A Kniht.iif
Malta.
Shortly after the present! War. bet Ween Englaqd
and Spain, the rumours oleo attelispa *Una Soi4ll •
America prevailed at Madrid, where LINILIN passed
his time between intriguing and gambling. Being
committed with most of the foreign adventurers re-
siding in that capital, he engaged them in a schemee►
of making their fortuttes, tither in defending the
Spanish Colonies against thilatglish, or in rgvola•
!ionizing them for themselves. He presented a me-
morial to the Prince of PitAta, who ordered a Ves-
sel to be equipped ; in this .LISIARS, with his OiiW
of Italian, 'French, and Corsican desperadoes, .4.013'
barked fur the new world. He well knew, that'if
misery produces despair, the vulgar often contieind .
the desperate with the brave; and hail equallyas-,
hero, him who in battle seeks for death as tlta)
sole refuge from mistily, as him whose patii4aool
• and valouralone send him into the field. •
