The President of the United States hadjirrived'at

his Excellency was greeted by the constituted Au-•
thories, and the people, with lively demonstrations
of joy and respect. By

Buenos Ayres, we find that the Revolutionary Go-
vernment had become as despotic or more so than
ever the Royal Authority wits. 'La Plata can
hoast of. her Robespierres, Barrases, Dantons,
-Ste. as well as France did in her terns of pro-
.e.tiPtion and terror. The mode of deporting sus-
pected persons at Burnos Ayres is the , sante as
that pictised by the Frenkh Directory; .many of
these exiles have arrived in the United States, in
rags and poverty. Another battle had been fought
near the banks of the Orinocco; in which it is

they are shedding rivers of blood in vain. Iry vain
