BRAZIL AND BUENOS AYRES PAPERS.

MESSAGE FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO THE LE-
GISLATURE.
GSWITLEMEN REPRESUNTATIVILS—•The Government
of the province of Buenos Aytes sees With the greatest
satisfaction the opening of the seventh Legislative As-
sembly.. At this moment are realised the hopes con-
;tired on the first days of the Revolution; therefore it
presents itself with the fullest confidence to salute the
Honourable Representatives, and to give a faithful
account of the affairs confided to its direction. /4:ger- '
theless,it.ls not possible to do so with the same minute-
ness as heretofore, the war having paralyzed a portion
Of the means of interior improvement; and for this rea-
son it can only speak of the most important point', as far
as the actual state of the country will permit. Internal
tranquillity has been the first object to which it directed
ns attention, xatisfied that without that we should be
condemned by the world, and be the derision of oor
enemies. Past experience has not been sufficient to con-
vince us that the formation of a state is subjected to the
general laws of nature, in which nothing can arrive at ,
perfection except slowly and progressively. The Go-
vernment, acting upon this principle. applied itself to
the extinction of discord and re-establishment of the
quiet of the interior, under whose shade alone can
flourish' the real interests by which the nation must be
h:reater united. It has the satisfaction to announce to
you, that the result has corresponded with its hopes,
and that reason has rarely obtained a triumph so easy
and rapid in the midst of so much agitation. The Go-
vernment has cause to congratulate itself in the naming
of the deputies who have acted in a negoci4tion so im- '
poitant. The provinces, in addition to having with-
drawn their arms from civil war, have given them a
more noble direction, and have named representatives
to form a Convention in the city of Santa Fe, which
will probably have the good fortune to fay the founda-
tion of the national happiness.
The negotiations for peace with his Majesty the
Emperor of Brasil still continue, and there are well.
founded hopes that the day is not far distant in which
the war will terminate satisfactorily ; notwithstanding
which, the Government. sensible that honour is the vital
principle of ,nations, continues to support it at every.
sacrifice, until peace can be realized; and hopes that,4
should necessity require it, you will with pleasu're make
every necessary sacrifice. The nations of our continent
continue to give us proofs of their good wishes, and
Great Britain renders us constantly the good offices of
a true ft lend. The officers and forces by land and sea
have displayed great constancy and bravery, and have
obtained considerable advantagei, which recommend
them to the res,,ect and gratitude of every good citizen.
When it appeated that the war was at a stand, and that
the .armies of the two ho t;le povaers faced each other,
without, either being able to advance, ail intrepid chief.
viith bandul of Argentines has recovered our old
possessions of the " Misiones Orientales;" his force has
been there. increased? and the joy evinced by the inhaz
bitants in returning to the bosom of the Republic, suf-
ficiently proves the absurdity of conquest. The cape-
ditioe.trom the north now marching to the same point,
when united to the said force, will form a respectable
army. the even •e of which isincOnsidersble, and which
can easily combine its operations with the main army,
and will piove the symbol of the concord and enthu-
siasm of the provinces.
The militia of the city and the country, which had
been almost dissolved and in a state rf nuliity, has been
organised, and performs important services, enabling
the troops of the line t be placed on the froisties a, and
wherever their attentions may he called for iii the
foreign war. Tne new line of irmitier is established:
this undertaking, as desirable as it is important,
commenced under the most atispscions circum•
stances. The Indians, with whom the Government
continues the measures of peace and conciliaßton with
the mist happy effects, will no mote commit de-
predations with impunity, and the immense, acqui-
sitioo cf territory has doubled the guarantee of the
public debt. so that this burden may be token off
Ina short time, it it is found necessary.. But the most
numrtiutt is, that in this establishment we have occu-
pied' the. interesting posit.on of White Bay (Bahia
Blihca)..Which is surrounded with commodious hat-
bours,agricultural land, and extensive woods. Its
maritime coasts abound with fisheries, and some ports,
enabling us to have hereafter a tespectable marine,
which will be the shield of the Republic. The com-
munication to Chile by laud, from the same point. is
short arid convenient ; and the navigation of the Red
Wirer (Rio Colorado) will perhaps afford a more (as,
exportation a,f the produce of some of the interior pro-
vinces. The Government has ordered the land to be
surveyed, acid to trace out the most proper place to
erect a city, to be called the " N w Buenos Ayres."
The importance to which it is likely to arrive gives it
a claim to so glorious a title. The zeal manifested ip
this undertaking, by all those changed with the execu-
tion of it, deserves the highest praise. Through the
stagnation of our foreign commerce, that of the interior
has rapidly increasechespecially those capitals that have
been applied to agricultural purposes, labourers being
' abundant; from the cessation of the impress.
In the midst of all this, the establishment of public
grammar schools for children in the c;ty and country
required particular attention. The Government took
them into consideration, and having placed at tire head
of theman individual who is wed known fur his phi-
lanthropy, it hal produced the desired effect. Private.
colleges and houses of education have begun to be es-
tabli*beil the Government encourages by every imam
this species of industry, the most useful for the coun-
try, anti hopes that in a short time it will not be neces-
sary for yoeths. to cross the seas, seeking the treasure
of science with the danger of losing those sentiments
which alone can 'be cultivated in their native land.
The Ladies of the Benevolent Society have shown in the
present year how much the nation ri indebted to them
for their assiduous efforts to forward education. The
Fublic schools continue in ;lie same state: that of San
Miguel has improved. The works at the Cathedral
Church, and of the high road to Ensenada, and the
canal of San Fernando, are nearly completed. Many
country towns have been assisted with funds to repair
their churches, or to build new ones; and until, in pro-
cess of time, our laws and mist ims be improved, a new
prison for debtors is fitting up. ' The hospitals, espe-
cially that for women, receive important improvements;
the Government thus endeavoltring to alleviate the int-
fetings of the utifortunate. The important establishment
aviecination has been augmented, and its utility has
never been WM felt than at this moment; whilst the

neighbouring provinces are visited bythe terrible scourge
of the small-pox, it has scarcely been felt in this city,
and the Government has put in practice every means
entirely to eradicate it.
The liberty of the Press has of late been greatly
abused. Some ill advised persons have carried its.
licentiousness to suck an extent as to bring discredit
upon toe country among foreign nations, where it is.
not possible to know that such productions only pro-
duce }'ere contempt for their authors. The law of the
Bth of May his suppressed in part this licentious
writing, and public opnion will by degrees banish ft.
The administration of justice requires 4 change, from,
which considerable advantages are expected. The Go-;
vernment will have the honour of laying it before you
for your consideration. 'Of' all our domestic' warns,'
none is more urgent than to fix, hi a certain and posi.
tive manner, the basis of the National Bank.' This,
eatablishment,. at present, requires the strongest gna-
'ranters ; and to give diem, it will be only necessary to
act with prudence. ! •
As tie province of Beenoi Ares hat provided eis-
Chisively the funds for the' defence of the nation, it is
but fair to state that When the present•Adnsisistratioo
shall have been one year in criQe in August next, they
will have expended 1,000.000 of doliars less than they'
had calculated upon. After having discharged enor•
mons outstanding debts, established the froittier,ch thedo
armed, and paid the army and navy, paid for the trans-
port and armament of the contingents from the pro-
vinces. provided the expenses of foreign affairs. and
nearly all those of the convention. supplied the parks
of artillery and magazine., having attnided at the
same time to the internal expense of the province.—
It is true that they have suspended for the present
the pal ment of the interest upon the loan in Lon•
don, and that this dreadful measure was foreseen in
making the aboVe calculations, but it was one of those
alternatives necessary to be taken. in order to avoid .
greater evils: the operation of issuing paper in Buenos •
Ayres to send gold to England would be like adding
fuel to tire, and which in the end would devour 'all.

stakes of the country, not doubting that the' Govern--
,bent intends to (as it most certainly will) remit to them '
upon the first opportunity, the funds necessary for the
fulfilment of its engagements. Every day proves the
necessity of placing the direct taxes eon a solid foun-
dation, and that the projects of law in that respect, '
submiued in the preceding Session, should receive your •
sanction. as soon as possible ; the Government on its
pan is prepared to give a new form to the made of col-
lection. The system of confiding to particular indivi.
duals in fanning haunt might be very well at the com-
mencement, but now that' more information has been
obtained upon the subject, it will be advisable to admi-
nister it by persons per manently emisloyed. with* ade-
quate Salaries, who can be promoted according to their
aneiitt. . •

The department of engineers, architects, and botanicat
garde*, have been suppressed ; as will be also whet- de-
pat [merits arid expenses, nut btcause the Guvernment.
did not recognise neir utility, taken in the afiiitact;
but because they were in disploportion with its 'methi.

Finally, Gentlemen Representatives, if a comparative
view is tiken of the present state of the province, aid
that in which it was in the month of August last year,
it ought to he viewed as very satisfactory. The Go:

The PRISIDEST. in tendering his acknowledgments
to the Ciub, paid the following admirable tribute to the
character and services of the immortal Statesman. At
the age of twenty-.three Mr. Pitt was called by his Soy
vereign to be the Pittne Minister of the country, and
although I mean not to dwell in detail upon particular
events and dates, I must nevertheless pause for a me.

—a war in which defeat, disgrace, despondency, and
debt, had almost overwhelmed it ; for with The loss cf
our American colonies the resources of the country
were so reduced that landed property war scarcely sale-
able at eighteen years' purchase. It was commenced
also at the period immediatqy following the celebrated
coalition between Lord North and Mr. For..--a coalition
heaping infamy on the heads of those who were parties
to it, and which bad filled the nation with shame, disa
gust. and loathing. Under the aid cf this coal time an
attempt was making, in defiance of the. Monaica. to
carry the equally celebrated East India Bill of Mr.
Fox, by virtue of which it was meant to establish an&

tfie'rask he had to peitorm, and bow lie performed it— '
these records tell us th. t so great was the wit Wrote and
violenie of patty, and so powerful was that patty iii
the Houses of Parliament, that the Sovereign himself
evenedinemplated a retirement from the kingdom to
his continental dominions---but young as the Minister
was, his:ultimate triumph was complete. With tines
ampled firmness, and with talents which exci ed the ut-
most wonder and admiration, he presevered ; he rood
by his Ding; he appealed to the voice of the nation;
and to that appeal an answer was returned,such as is two
to be found in the annals of the country—with a spon-
taneous burst from one end of the kingdom to ',mother,
lie received the support of his admiring countrymen,
and in a cerresponding deg tee were his opponents
!jumbled and disgraced. But here was laid the
foundation of that system of Whig opposition, and of
Whig politics, which has since so peculiarly charac-
terised the eventful periods which followed, and under
which system, from the day of its formation to that of
the death of our illustrious Statesman, every measure of
his administration was opposed, and every act of his go-
7ernment was to be frustrated, as far as Whig influence
could frustrate. In e.timating, therefore, the character
and conduct of Mr. Pitt, we must never cease to beat
in mind by whom and in what manner he was opposed.
r mist forbear, as I have alteady proposed, the attempt
to detail the intermediate events of Mr.ritt's Ministry, 1
important as was his establishment of the Sinking Fund
in 1786; the questions arising out ot the King's illness
in 1788; the Colon wth I•eland; with the other im-
portant_ measures of the times, and pass on to the French
Revolution—an event so big with importance, that the
mind even now startles with involuntary emotion at the
mete name. Here a new epoch in the affairs of the
world and in the history of man has presented itself ;
throwing off all restraint, the French philosophers ki11... i
gifted, . r chose to imagine, that mankind could be go-'
vetoed by the Goddess of Reason, without the aid of,
Religion. The bitter fruits of the attempt have been '
seen—surrounding nations wet e shaken to their founda-
tions, and few survived the attack—England alone,,
tinder th • guidance otits illustrious Pitt, and patinnl
King, securely weathered the storm. To. this epoch
we th. ',rime icier for the character of the great man
we t.tis day meet to commemorate; we find him, dur-
ing this eventful period, ever firm to his own integrity.
and ever mindful of his country's honour; by his elo-
quence rousing the almost drooping spirits of bis
Cour ti men, or by his talents directing their energies;
alike unshaken when threatened by invasion from,
without, or by faction front within; and who among'
us does not feel proud of the name of Briton, and of
the grand distinction to which his country is raised
among surrounding nations? Well might I enlarge,
upon this animating theme, but I forbear; all our hearts
Lear testimony to the grateful leming, and in our hearts
we nose and imprint the name of Pm. These are
alto, Sir, other objects to which our association as di-
rected—we associate not only in testimony of the past,
but also to provide for the security for the future, and
cause enough most assuredly we still have to look to
the lattet —the leaven ot Whig malice and of Whig
politics„ although changed, is not extinct ; instead of
radical 'dorm declamations against the suspensions of
the Habeas Corpus Act ; instead of clamours against
pensions and placemen, and the other heated or in-
vented topics of the day, we have now the marcliol ih-
tellect ; education without religion; authority and power
without moral obligation. We are told a new eta is
about to come into time world; that men are born wis. r
and brims than heretofore; that the march of intellect

sent day greater than it was when a Homer, a Euclid, a
Plato, an Aristotle lived? Tsue it may be, and true
it is, science may have enlarged her boundary, but in-
tellect remains the same, and the distinction is im-
p. mat; the proven of science teaches us the bettor

our own happiness and the welfare of our country be

Sir, forbear trespassing longer on your notice, and con-
clude by requesting “ The immortal memory of the
Right Hon. William Pie may be drank in solemn
silence. •

The health of the Viet•Prealdeot Elect having been drank,
The Re,. ARTHUR MATHRWS, in returning thanks
for that honour, delivered to the company a speech re.
plete with eloquence, wit, and satire. The billowing
sketch of our • present illustrious Premier forms an ad•
mirable companion-picture to that so finely delineated
by the President: Having said thus much (continued
the Bev. Gentleman) I feel that it would be safe and
becoming to resume my seat at once, for brevity on the
present occasion is a debt of gr. titude I owe you for
your patient endurance of my prolixity en the last,
when I am sensible that I encroached on your time and
conviviality beyond all reasonable bounds. It is my
sincere intention to avoid that error now, and I have
only to hope that• my sense of obligation will not be
thought k.s warm if for once it should be less wordy.
Besides, among other more important benefit, which
the public owe to our present illustrious Plemie., it is
no inconsiderable service he has rendered it in giving
the weigl.t f his authority and example in favour cf
short speeches; I trust they will thus be brought into
fashion. and as the courtiers of Alexander affected to
bang their heads awry in servile imitation of the Royal
deformity. that the colleagues and admit ers of the laco-
nic llstke will be equally careful to copy an excellence,
and that his condensed and pithy style will soon super.
sede that boundless amplification which I cannot but
consider as a public evil that has increased, is increasing,
and ought to be diminished. A British House of Coo•
mons has recently listened to B:ougham torseven hours

establish Protestantism in ascendancy in Ireland.
Without tt•at one measure, it cannot he done. I will
fist state the evil which exists, and • then the re..
auedy. 'lllie evil is the existing supremacy in power
of the Popish Priests and Pepery. That evil.fies been
progte-sive in proporsion to the privileges which have
been estended to Papist% Still looking at the evil in
such a manner as the just principles of Protestants
would induce every true Protestant to do ; Considering
that liberty of conscience, free from the controul of

striction must be applied in such manner as

care. The evil, in short, is the esi tence of Popish as-1

secure ['lineman. ascend., cy. looking at I timid:
and referring back to what has passed since 1793, and
calling to timid especially the lust General Eitsc.son, and
the lat Election for Clare, it is quite evident that the
grant of the elective franchise to the Papists is the
cause of all the mischievous influence they possess.
Considering the mischievous influence which the Ca-
tholic Ass ciation and the Popish Priests possess
over the mild, e f the Irish Papists. I cannot but
be well aware that disturbance may be produced
by so strong an act. Still I venture to call on the
Protestants of the Empire to petition that the threaten-
ing Popish millions in Ireland shall he deprived of a
franchise which is not possessed by the quiet, the loyal,
Papists of Great Britain. In 1825, the present Lori.;
Lieutenant of Ireland refused to grant concessions to
the Papists, because of th. it threats. Whisk .do.tbe
Agitators of Ireland say now, but that they arebecome
so strong, they care not whether Protestants support
their cause or not. for their power over the Protestant'
M.P.'s is supreme? What would the sue Protestants
of the Revolution of 1688 have said ? Would thsy
have suspected trat their degenerate successors in 1828
would have per mitt d Ireland, to bee ome subject to
Ropish rule—would have buffeted the Parliament of
Great Britain and 1 slant to be threate ed soh the in
troduction of Popish L Tney would have
felt that they had livei and strove in vain for a race
of men unworthy of thei• exertions end sufferings, and
u terly undeserving the favour and pr. tectson of the
ALMIGHTY. 1 rot eat, then. Protestants, petition the
Throne and the Houses of. Parliament. to take from
Papists privileges which eiperience has rowel to be
hurtful to the great mass of the Papists themselves, and
dangerous to the welfare of the State, of theProtesi ant re
Logi in, and of the civil and religious liberties of the people.
But "the slotrful man seeth a lion in the way." nice
are darters and difficul i .5 in what Is proposed. Th• re
are. But to a man of piincipls, to a man of resolution.
it is only necessary to show that the object is one of
duty; that meeting a present danger will guard against
a greater future one; that unless it is intended. under
the same influence of fear, to grant a great deal more
than is now asked, it is safer to resist now, and in the
way proposed at once to remove future danger, than,
abandoning all resolut•on, to let things take their course,
and to concede from time to time, in the hope, Cain
Wand contemptible as it must prove, to keep off danger
for one's own time. Such resolution has been always
thought to raise men in the scale of intellectual beings,
of patriots, and of Christians, when the object is one
worthy of such characters: and is it not so? For what
do I urge you to contend? It is for the maintenance of
the highest blessing which the lion of mercy ever be-
stowed on man—the continued secure possession by our
Protestant brethren in Ireland, and by ourselves. of the
blessings of Christianity. D i I mean to deny that P.,
pery is Christianity ? GOD forbid ! But as 1 have
repeatedly sworn. in common with every Member of
each House of Parliament who takes his seat.' that ido-
latry Is mixed up with the most sacred rite in the Popish
Church, so I must add. that I fear very little of true
Christian;ty is extended under its auspices to the
men, millions of Irish Papists, even now, when
Protestantiem continues the estalslished religion of that
benighted country. It was but yesterday that I read
that the Popish Priest of Mr. Beresford's parish refused
