The medtated project of Miranda does not
teem, therefore, to esbrace the whole of the
SDan'ih provinces in South America. Several
provinces in the Vice-Royalty of New-Gr
da will be uureprefented at Trinidad (; betides
every province in the Vice-RoyaIty of Bue-
nos Ayres ; and the. Vice-RoyaIty of Peru,
which ncludesChili. Perhapsthefr colonicscon-
tanned, too great number of native Spaniards

confpiracy Perhaps Miranda aud his friends
have not dared TO diifeminate their proietf too
widely, from the fear of multiplying too much
the chances ofdetettion. Should fuccefs, how
ever, crown their efforts, the revolution of
Miranda will take a wider fwerp. Spain mi .,ht
then tremble for all her po1eifions in South
America. Peru and Buenos Avres would in
all Likelihood "purfue the triumph and par.

letting down ny degrees, into fome fixed and

come freer, as they became more enlightened.
And the United States of South America like
the Unted States of the North, will prefent TO

We congratulate our country upon the re-
jeetion of the YAZOO Bill by the HouE. of R.
trefentatiOe5. We know not what were IRE
fpecihc provhons; what the foundation unon
which 1t recognizes thefe claims, or what the
compromite which it made with the claimants.
1t is enough for us to know that il is a Bill.
which mnf have fanetihed corruption, and
which probably beftowed a mott exorbtant
concentration upon the fiaudulep. fpecuator.
While we however indulge our mott fervert
congratulations on this fuhje1, let us not fuffer
two memorable facts to efcape us that T. Ran
dolph was the man, to whole zeal, intrepidty,
and genus, we ut this moment owe the exp-
ring conyulions of the monitor, and that there
was not Jingle federaliit in the Houfe of Re-
