by Velesi, and competition, as well as the piano, by Katcher.
To him he was indebted for a full knowledge of the theory of
music, and fur a skilful and ready use of alt the means It furnishes
to the composer. Weber was now more indefatigable in his duties
than ever, and began' to apply himself to one particular branch
of the art, in preference to the rest—to operatic music. tinder
dui eyes of his master, he wrote an opera, Die Acacia der Liebe
and des Weins (the Power of Love and Wine) a Mass, and
several other pieces: but all Mete he judiciously committed to the
flames.

Soon after this, Weber entertained an idea of rivalling Senne-
felder, of lithographic celebrity, and he went so far as to say, that
the invention was his, and that lie used machines more adapted
to the purpose. In order to pursue his plan On a grand scale, he
removed with his father to Frisberg, in Saxony, where the best
materials were most conveniently at hand. The tediousness of so
mechanical a business, however, could not fail very soon to tire a
mind accustomed to more refined occupations, and the young
speculator resumed, with redoubled vigour, his study of compo-
sition. While a youth of only 14, he wrote the opera Das Wald-.
ntanchen (the Girl of the Wood), which was performed, for the
first time, in November, 1800, and received with great applause at
Vienna, Prague, and Petersburgh. This opera spread, indeed,
much further than the composer afterwards wished, considering
it was a very immature and juvenile production.
An article in the Meadkalische Zeitung excited in the Young
composer the idea of writing in an entirely new style, awl to
bring again into use the ancient musical ioatruments, which then
were nearly forgotten. For this purpose be composed in IbQl,
the Opera Peter Smolt and his Neighbours, of which Michael
Haydn thus expreasses himself in a letter As far as I may
pretend to judge, I 'inlet truly and candidly say, that this opera
not only possesses great power and effect, but is composed accord-
ing to the strict rules of counter-point. To spirit and live-
linesa, the composer has added a high degree of delicacy ;
and the music is, moreover, perfectly suited to the meaning of
the words."

During one of his many professional travels with his father in
1802, to Leipsic, Hamhurgh, and Holstein, his principal occupa-
tion was to collect and study all works on the theory of music;
and, prompted by the doubts he entertained at/ to the correctness
of n►pst of them, he cou►melsced studying harmony once more,
froin ita very elements, with a'view of constructing to entire new
system of music. The work entitled Vogler, pat Chorale, by Se-
bastian Bach, analyzed by C. M. Von Weber, may be cousidered
as the fruit of those researches, and is equally interesting and in-
structive.

In 1809 he went to Vienna, where he finished hie musical
education, under Vogler. He was subsequently called to 13realau,
in-the characteent Maestro di Capella. As he had to, form
here an entirely uJw Orchestra, and corps of singers, he was fur.
niched with a favourable opportunity to improve himself in the
knowledge of effect. The only work of consequence during his
Silesian • vikit, was the opera of RubezaAl Number N;p, of
which: the ill-famed mountain ghost foie furnished the subject.
The commencement of the great Prussian war in 1806, obliged
hint to quit his post it Breslau, Simi he entered the service of the
Duke Eugene, of Wurtemberg. Here he wrote two Symphonies,
several Concerto., and various pieces for wind instruments. He
also published at this time, an improved edition of his opera,
71. Maid of the Wood, under the title of Silvana; a Cantata
( Der erste Ton ; ) some overtures, for a grand orchestra; sod a
great many solo.pieees, for the piano-forte.
In ISM, he vet out on another professional tour, upon a better
concerted plan than before. At Frankfort, Munich, and Berlin,
his operas were performed with much smote, and his concerts
were Well attended. Once more, assisted by the experience and
knowledge of Vogler, who had than two other young artists of
great talent with him, Meyerbeer and Gauloacher, lie composed
the opera Abu Hassan, at Darmstadt, in 1610.
Front 1818 to 1816, Weber wns Director of the Opera at
Prague, which he organized quite town-, and wrote here his great
Cantata, _Kamp/fled Sky, a most CalinpONltiOlL After
the object of his visit to Prague was tulfilled, hd ouee more tra-
velled, without any permanent appointmeut. Though he received
the most handsome offers from ail parts of Germany, lie did not
accept of any, until be was called to Dresden, for the purpose of
there r German Opera. Such au invitatiott he could not
assist, and it is to this opera that he for years devoted, con aim cc,
his whole attention and activity.
It is pleasing to observe that him labours in this department
were not only crowned with complete suctess, but received the
most flattering acknowledgment. It would; indeed, have bean
difficult,to find a man more fit for such an undertaking than We-
ber; who united so many splendid talents. He was a very origi-
nal and learned composer, one of the greatest pianoforte-players of
the present day, and au extremely spirited director of the orchestra.
To these he added a thorough knowledge of the whole theory of
music, of dramatic and operatic effect, and the greatest skill
in blending the various instritmento. His celebrated Preischutz
wiis produced at Berlin in 1821. The publication of it at once
elevated him to the rank of one of the fit* composers in Germany.
It procured him a counniealou to compose an opera for the Vienna
Theatre. lie accordingly, in incaution!' of 1898, brought out his
Euryanthe in the Austrian capital. The words, founded on au
old French tale, were written by Madame 'Von Citesy.

" Legation of the United States of Americo►,
" Buenos-Ayres, Feb. 13, IBM
the official note which the undersigntil Charg6 d'Affaires
of the United States of America had the honour to address to His
Excellency Admiral Lobo, commander of the Imperial Brooilian
squadron blockading the coasts and porta of tuetioi.Ayres, tauter
date of the let of January hit, it was reserved by the untlersiguid
to present on a future occasion, the views and principles professed
and put forth by the government of the United Stan.* on the law
of blockade. In conformity to that reservation, the undersigned
now takes the liberty to present to the consideration of his Exoel-
lend)? Admiral Lobo, and, if deemed worthy of transmission, to
that of His Imperial Majesty's Ministry, the following older.

". If the subject of blockadti, so simple in its original applica-
tion, now involves the most complicated questions of maritirnelew
among nations, it is to be ascribed to abuses of ,power on one aide,
to too muchcondeecension on the other, end to the mnltitude of
incidental cases which have arisen as precedents, establishing.iaLi-
trary and ephemeral doctrines, since tht• breaking down of the
originel hounds and land-marks of mutual and universal rights.
" Although the commerce of the United States has been, to a
greater extent thou any other, the:victini of those gigantie abuses
of potver, it has never seem' without just coMplainte, in iudivi-
dual Cases, and constant , and strong rernonstrancet on the part of
the Gevenmient of the said States, against the principle and proc-
tice elf every thing like an iunteriliery blockade, the Hydra of law-
less oiip. 0
ressiou. . . ' •
" Thus it hasever been maintained by the United States, that.
flhiiro Thus
or ideal blockade of an extensive coast, not sup»
ported by the actual presence of a naval power competent to en-
force ;its simultaueous, constant, and effective operation on every.
pointlof filch coast, is illegal throughout its whole extent, even for
the ports which may be in actual blockade : otherwise every cap
ture under, a notified blockade would be legal; because the capture
itself would be proof of the blockading force, This is, in general
terms, one of the fundamental rules of the law of blockade, as pro •
teased and practised by the Government of the United States.
And if this principle is to derive strength from the enormity of
consequences resulting from a contrary practice, it could not be
better sustained than by the terms of the original declaration of
the existing Brazilian blockade, combined with its subsequent
practical application.
" The manifesto of his Excellency Admiral Lobe, dated the
gist of December last, declares that ' all the ports and coasts of
the Republic of Buenos-Ayres, sod all those on the oriental side
(of 14 ,Plata) which may he occupied by the troupe tit Buenos.
Ayres.; are, from that date, subject to the most rigorous bloc ado.'
Pita declaration of Idoekade embraces an extent of inaritime coast
of more titan 20 degrees of latitude; on which vast coast it ie not
Pretended that his Imperial Majesty Maintains any force beyend a
passed
Corvette, the Maria do Gloria. If, ‘herefore, there can
exist spy thing like an imaginary blockade, this is, most unequi-
vocally, one of that description; and as such, in conformity with
the principles before laid down; it calls for the resistance of the,Government of the United States. If we tau our attention to
thernalmer in which the blockade has hewn enforced in the. know:.
diete Waters of- Buenos-Ayres, abundant matter of criticism pre-
sents itself. Since the eetablialanent of the blockade six foreign
vessels,,aceording to. the annexed list, have entered the fots'
roads Of flitenos-AYreas and three have gone' into the port of
Ensenada. Among the limners anise, wag/ earried into Monte-
Video, 0140 14 nearly a week, and then antlered to take a new
destination, without any endorsement of the notice of blockade on
the principal mein of the valid, as is practised in similar cpsby other maritime nations. Manlier. the llamburgh ship .noinA 40,
Hissed Within gon.shot of the Brazilian squadron, sad, murder the
1 protection of a very inferior force, proceeded siptothe anchtne
in o
,
toe Muer roads. By these examples, occurring in a hose;
of the year, there being no violent stormy weather tim justify suck
a failure to enforce the blockade, it seam to be conclusively proveds
either that the Brazilian squadron cannot, or that it will nets
enforce it. And thus, this high and important belligereut memoir%
which ought to be rigorously, constantly, and uniformly put into
execution, has dwindled into a feeble and inefficient Wort, depend-
ing on casualty, caprice, or convenience. • .
Ott a full view and mature consideration of all these eireum-
stems% the undersigned feels it his iodhipeusable duty to moon-
strata and protest, and he dots remonstrates and ;protests, against
