13Fittrot AYtta3,• JoNis I the Pitt brig of
war, which lately sailed from this 'place, I informed
yen that a change ti-id taken place here, and I can
now give you farther particulars.
What yo'.i tall bad news in England has for some
time past beet) considered as good news here by die.
Venter part qt. the people. However. Much tt ey
regret the success of the French in Spain, -they' have
been looking to the dissoltureo of the Got erient
nt
as the signal-. of their deliverae.ce iMin a jr'atoui and
narrow-minded system at policy. In I,inticip:ttton of
that event, men of abilities in this country ha. e long
been considering what steps ought to be rake n w eo
such ne.ws should arrive from Europe es Aitgln
fy them in asserting their rights. :ten ittrivmg in
telligence, therefore; that the Junta had,fied from,
Seville, and. liat -the French were in considerable
force near Cadiz; it was determined- to call upoe
the Viceroy, and represent to him, that as the Goee
vernruene by which he was appointed, and which
was the regular Gpternment ot,Spain, did not now
exist, ii becathe the right of thcepeople to appoint
snob a Gmvernment as might he suite-d to the cir-
•k:uimstareces of the times; and that the GONYntnent
thbA loaned should act provisionally until a 'General
Congress, onsisting of Delegates trom all the pro-
Nieces, shotild be ass-ere bled. As the movers of this
business liad the military. on their side, the -Col-n
wanders of most of the regiments, being attire-in
the causeethe Viceroy was obliged .to comply; mid
a Cabildo of the people !has- called, and composed
of 500 of the pi incipal inhabitants. In this as-
sembly it was determined almost unanimously, that
in consequence of the stale-of Seale, and other cir-
cumstances, the Viceroy ought to resign his autho-
rity into the hands of the people. He consented
to this; and on the 24th ultimo the Cabildo chose
a Junta of five, flaming the late Viceroy Piesident.
This appointment, however, gave great dissatisface
rind, as there was an almost general objection to the •
giving of any authority whatever-to the Viceroy.—
On the next day, the 25th, they 'made a new
eleel ion, and fixed upon seven -as\ a Pro%hion,ll
Junta. The Presidency was given to Don Cornelio
Saavedra, who is Colonel of a Corps
.termed of. the
natives of Buenos Ayres, whieh .ealied' the Pne.
'irides, and who is -an extremely populanmae here.,
This last election gave general, satisfaction, and the
Viceroy having given up all his authority, t tie junta -
immediately began toad.
The news from Spain was published (befereAhe
mt,ering of the Cabildt) on the !Sat by the Vice-
roy', because he then towed it wiinpossiblii: tO de-
ceive the people any lot get respecting the state of
Spain.. This 11;.•volwion haS been. broughti about
bout the least bloodshed, or t tie leas; disturbance,
an. there is no doubt that all the dependent:l,7e of
this preVince, as well as the adjacent. Governmetes
and 'Viceroyalties, wilt follow the exam pie o.,i3tielios,
Ayres. • In Po:o,i, Tucuman, La Paz, and 11)9f-her
towns in the country aoov, this; there is even mere
detestation) of the old Govvrtimeut than totew:.s.en
s
here. The lead_ rs of the Revolution. at.. BuenoS
Apes have hau a regular .correspendence with tie
other Provinces, as Pefu, Litiht; &c. and it is ex-
iteeted that they will all speediiy declare themselves
independent.: au fate, the Americans hate a routed
di,ltke to the Government of Old Speite - -
Since wrote the above I have been shewn
ters from /Woke Video, and - lied that flee' are
about to adopt measerts these of tire same nature as
those which hate so sur.cessfully been eari-ied- into
etnet iu his place. - Nothing could have been mule
firtuntee than these events—err
.had e.ery thing
gone „as tile nati, el Spaniards. here w 'sled, we
should hate all been ordered away, as it' was al vt-ays
teeir wise that the laws should be enforced against
feleigneis. The late. Viceroy intended to emorce
them, against all justice, nut Withseirding that he
had permitted a free trade. But the Junta have .de-
dared to us, that we are all free to 'email) here
as long as we please, and they Oiler us every pro-
feceiou.

One,of the principal promoters of this imp°, tart
rt-volution is Don Juan Jose Caztclli, a D“ctor of
La w, and a man of great talent. He holds the se-
cond seat in the Junta.

There is no French influence in it, nor will the,.
people be dictated to by any Foreign Power,
.but
they will be proud of the altiarcewhh England.—
There are wise heads here, who know the intereslS
of the country, and the name of Ferdinand VII. is
prudently brought for Ward ; but if a, Monarckv
Should, in the end be established, it will not be,oft,
theplan of Old Spain. The South Americans, fol-\
lowing the example of our couniry in 1688, will
make their own terms, and will-have an Executive,
commuted by a National Representation. The
chains once: broken, they can never be imposed on,.
the Americans again. The advantage.; whieh,- in
the new order of things, will be.offered to settlers
here, are kir beyond any that, North America .can
afford. We have here the fineEit climate• in' the
world, and abundance of excellent land, which' only
wiling the hand of the cultivator. 'Ftert, a main

be paid tent Old for his labour, and will not haze
to
begin by clearing out a spot of ground for himself,
by felling forests, as in North Anzetica.. :-He has
but to titke care that lie does nut sow..too th:ck-, lest
there should follow too- great an abundance. ,He
uray have two crops a year, and the land is so rich,
that lie may sow corn for ten,years on tlie same
spot without the fear of impovelishing it. To have
peach plantations, he need only plant the stones,
and in :about three years he will have f nit and
plenty Of wood. There is scarce any thing that this
country -will not produce ; but such his been the
system of the old Government, that there has been:
no incitement to industry. As a proof attic miser-
able jealousy that prevailed, I need only mention,
that, not many years ago, orders were receitecr
from Spain to destroy, all the vine and oliVettees in
these settlements, lest they might inlet fere with the
commerce of the [nether •:.ountry. •
