My LoRD.-The fate of arms depends on
chance. Something more than month !ince,
your excellency entered into this capital with
fmall number of troops oppofed to an inn

in need of direction than to be excited to oppofe
your enterprise. But, at this moment, fired
with the mott enthuiaitic ardor in order to
fhake off yoke which to them is odious, it is
ready to convince you, that the courage ofthe
inhabitants of Ferrol, the Canary inand and
Porto Rice have given proofs, no ways wanting
to the people of Buenos Ayres.
j come at the head OF regular troops, hyperion
in number to thofc commanded by your excel
Iency, and who are neither inferior to them in
Kill or difcipne. The maritime forces, which
command the Baltic, render your retreat impof-
fible.-Thoufands of inhabitants, well armed,
provifoned, and of undoubted courage, wait
only my orders to fall upon the B,itilh.-The
efeem due TO your valor, the generofty of the
Spanilh Nation, and the honor nfpired by hu-
mainly towards that clafs of men which are
thofe only who are the tools of thofe who, with
