cession to the Counsul General for Great Britain.
The foi low i tig remarkable passage occurs in a nirm.„
her of the ilfouthly Review, published upwards of 4d
years ago.—lt may be found under the article Nauti-
cal Almatzack for 1772, published in 1770.—"1t re-
quires no prophetic spirit to prognosticate a period
in which we may be obliged to recur to ourtaritime
strength, to combat the pernicious effects of our mi-
nisterial weakness.—But, as we are not fond of in-
dulging gloomy surmises, we will hope that such a
period is far distant:—We are disposed to wise that
the temporary suspension of the dreadful calamities
of war and bloodshed, which every lover of his spe-
cies and of his country would gladly avoid, will issue
in an established and durable tranquillity ; that we
shall long enjoy te.e blessings of freedom and peace
withoet molestation,and with grateful united hearts;
and t tat our commercial interests will yet [lowish,
free from impediment and restraint."
The following is a most magnanimous instance of
the Amor Potrire. have•heard of the cause fur
which Hampden bled ftekl, and Sidney on the
scaffold, And no doubt the writer of the followith;
letter expects to hear incorporated with these
cause for which Hilton rode."—
Extract of a letter from Mr. George Hilton, at
Buenos Ayres, to his mother, Mrs. Hilton, of
King-street, Blackburn :—" I have to inform you
of a race which I performed, never equalln ol in this
part of the world. Mr. Wanklyn, from Manchester,
bet 200 ounces of gold, that there was an Engh
lishman at Buenos Ayres (meaning myself) wo
would ride ten Spanish leagues (upwards of 30 Eng-
lishhentiles) in an
thought
proper.hour; h
is mountingboing
by the Spaniards, bets to the amount of 5000 dollars
were risked against•the performance. 1 was allowed
thaosugmhar imhporrsobesahalge
to try the exploit as often as [ pleased duringeighteen
days, and if I once performed it in that given time,
the wager was won. In my first attempt I exceeded
the'hour five minutes; my second attempt was suc-
cessful, as I went the distance in twenty-eoeighle ;lct se-
-
sembled to witness this equestrian feat. I did not
conds less than the hour. About 12,000 p p
bet a farthing myself, neither should I have role Ow
race, had it not been for the Patin of my
TRY:"
