According to Mr. Semites valuable Work on
the prefent State of Peru, that country is of cafy
aceefs from Buenos Ayrei, and with Chile and Pa-
raguay, may be maintained by a fuperior naval
force againtt all the world. On the not thern bnun
dart' it is feparated from New Grenada by knells
and inacceffible mountains feveral hundred miles in
extent. Perhaps we may live to fee Ncw Grenada
and the Megicus formed into an independent Empire,
under the protetlion of Great Britain, and the luso-
tiant and equally rich provinces of Paraguay, Chile,
and Peru, become flourifhing Britißi Colonies.
