pofe of revolutioniing South America. The
admiral writes for infruStions how 20 atf ON
thisextraordinary occafion. Thisis fufIicient
aniwer TO the Frencbifed or Democratic papers
of NewYork fome of which ftated that this
project was favored and fippor;ed by pecunia-
~ tupplies from this country. This the want
ofthe nitrucfions applied for admiral Cochrane
efficiently rcfutes. 1t ihews that fnch plan
was not in the contemplation of the late minif-
try. The dates put the preient administration
wholly ont of the quettion. The emancipation
of South America would, no doubt, be adyan-
tageous TO this country in two points of view
as opening market for Britifh manufiGtures-
and as cutting off the refources of our arch e.
ncmy, to whom the trealury of Spain is as his
own Whatever may be the refove of minif-
tiers on this fubjett, Miranda will derive an
indirect cooperation from this country, as any
Spaniih reinforcement which may be fent out
will mott probably be intercepted by our fleets.
Miranda is Nrange romantic character, lels
known to our readers than he happens to he TO
the writer ofthis article. He is native of
South America. He had command in the
French army under Dumourier in the campaign
in Flanders, in 1893. He is man of enter
prize and Of talents. SO andious has he been
in the cultivation Of the latter, that he has fur
veyed every memorable fceue of battle, in the
four quarters of the globe, with claiIic reci-
tai IN his band, in order to- aCcertain what were
the biot5 made ON the defeated fde, and what
the advantages of the fuccef5fuI party. Such
man is at once calculated and qualified to diff
tinguih himfelf, as military and political lea
der. He hates the Sp7ulh tyranny as exercifed
in his native country, and we fhall not DC fur
prfed to learn that this tyranny is laid fpraw-
ing at the feet Of man fearlefs Of peril, and
daring enough to meet the roughet encounter.
