• ILWNOS AYRES, I
•
In axyl koriner letter, I annosilibitui—ines the re.
workable Amiga which had tallest' Ilene fff this capi-
tal, and* temperate and dignified manner in which
theViceenyPeneros was displaced, substituting for his
autheeit, if" plUvisional Government, composed of
pertens ofiffstmgnisbeil talent, and of acknowledged
patriotisnii. .no conduct of the persons now in au.
thority deserves the public confidence. You know I
am impartial, and my opinion is, that' he grit steps
they have taken have shewn great penetration and
judgment. •
It is tit necessary to discuss generally the motives,
but theyheve sworn to acknowledge any Government
in:Sintin•which shall be legitimately established. You
;rye been an eye-witness of the formation of the
ency, can decide if what we have done be equal
to a declaration of independence. But in order that
the proper authority may be employed in the mission
that is destined for Spain, we only wait the union of
the Deputies in Congress, which will take place in she
course of July, and -four of which .= already in this
capital.
Although Monte Video has not yet decided, there
is abundant reason to believe that she At come to
the same determination as ourselves, as the inhabitants
cannot exist without our assistance.
My friend, we now discover •that the Spaniards
are rendered desperate, not only for the loss sus-
mined in the monopoly they have enjoyed f
centuries, but for the humiliation they suffer in being
cornm4nded by native Americani. Their only hope
is in St. Ferdinando and St. James, to them they look
for the deliverance of Spain, and some have sought
the woods and the mountains, to do penance like Don
Qiuzote for his Dulcinea.
