DsS'd The very monopoly of commerce,
's s:ss nreyails among them has the effect
sn' sr,I;ur out another of the great means
o. , .r smsnt. Few strangers visit their
,Mr and the miserable Msstee Of
sy. and Peru, has no opportunity to
VIII by the discoveries OF more civilized
s0 ant why may not the Spanish colonies
.sme as independent as the British colo
~ ~. formerly did? We may reply, that
me a;- condition is different in two important
m :...m.tances. Not only was our people
s..r than the Spanish colonies are at pre-
n nv. as much freer at least, in proportion
:. he British government is more en-.
,;ah,eosd than the Spanish; but the go
s.snt whick was established 10 our CO.
80. was much better calculated to gi4e
. 'va,.s 70 A revolution. The legislatures,
which were previously established in our
w., colonies, survived the downfall of the
Br;,ish sovereignty, and were aamirably
ssr.a for collecting together the force OF
i, nation. But in the Spanish colonies
Do,ush organization exists for the concen-
,,,,on of the public force. The whole
h0,,es, of legislation is in the hands of
,c.roys or other subordinate agents ofthe
.ngo. Electors aud elected, constisu.
eats and representatives are names without
a-neauing 10 the Spanish vocabulary.
These circumstances are strongly cal
eulated 10 produce doubt respecting the
success of Miranda's protested enterprise,
under the present state of the Spanish CO.
lOnis,. On this subject however, we ars
oouad TO speak with all the humility Of
. doubt. We know butlistle of the present
stare of the Spanish celoaies; the strength
of the government, the character of its
preser, officers, or, It's military resources.
We know still less Of Miranda's means or
the resources of his adhcrents. If" three
provinces" are already "etgani&ed;" if
Miranda is assisted, ifnos by the treasury,
at least, it is said, by the admiralty of
England; If three millions of dollars base
been furnished by his American associates
or English SPECTATORS; if success should
crewn his FRS, exsriions and the treasury
of the king of Spain should fall into his
hands; if the military force of that coun.
try be feeble, or its discipline imperfect;
it's certainly probable that Miranda may
Become the Washington CT his country
Whas we mean TO assert is, that even if
miracle does"7lot "come," still Miriam
da mag not" succeed"

the whole. The grsateh quantity OF raw potatoes
iaid to be ufed mixture with whest-hour in bread
is one-third; not much above the fame quantity Of
boiled po,atoe has ufually been employed. The pro-
portion of -four in boiled po,a,oe exceeds that in
po,atoe by about one quarter. As \ rough ground
for calculation may therefore call IS per e,st.
the proportion Of flour in any given quantity Of boiled
potatoe.
The proportion therefore which the potatoe- meal
makes of the whole mixture in this BREAD above that
in which onethird raw potatoe has been uied four
times; that is, the actual quantity of poatseAour in
this bread great ii "a lbs of Pota,oe had
been mixed with g lbs. of wheaten-Aour; and COM
pared with boiled potatoes, it is as great if Is
lbs. of potatoes had been mixed with lbs. Of wheat
-four"
From the foregoing flatements, it ia not prsfumed
that much farther information is impaired than may
have been gathered from fome former accounts OF
breadmaking from mixture of iuch hours, excep, as
to the mode Of preparing the potatse-Aour. Neither
