The following is a translation of the above :
"The widow of tieneral Itiego has received with pro.
found satisfaction the letter and its contents, with the ae-
4-null:allying lines, composed by a lady of the little domes-
tic circle by whom she has been as highly favoured ; and
she perceives, in the sweet expression of the feelings
manifested in the Ismer, as well as in the great and
lofty sentiments whi.:l; characterize the latter, that the
inembers composing this society are as much diatin•
guistied by elegance of mild, as they are by virtue and
beneficence.
Accustomed from her earliest infancy to the pure enjoy.
anent of a tranrytil end sober existence, surrounded by an
amiable and beloved family, she has never forgotten, even
amidst the lively expressions of popular applause, nor
amidst the bi'tcr rev:c.cs of fortune, of proscription, and
death, that the strong ties of faithful friendship, the copi-
ous spring of heroic actions, of the lore of liberty and
independence, the true exercise and pious discharge of
Christian charity, and, fleshly, those tranquillizing ex-
pressions of sympathy which soften the bitterness ut ad-
versity, are rarely to be found by minds of sensibility,
except in the circles of domestic privaey--.-in those circles
into which the tyranny of abaolate monarchy cannot
