supreme government in Duenes Avres, max
ing them an offer Of British protection. siiis
lettor was answered by gen.. Is rIerss the
Audienza, andthe CabiIdo, abnes prom treat
ed his offer with indignationlM ~ contempt :
and In this sentiment, Sir S.~Achmuty found
the whole population to partake,who had been
iniiamed against the English BY every species
OF eAaggeration and falschood. The natives
of the country were indeed disposed to follow
the steps ofthe North Americans and to erect
an Independents state. five could promise
them independence, they would Instantly re-
volt against the government. But though no.
thing but lndepcndc nee would perfectly salts
fy them, they would prefer our government
either tostheir present anarchy or the Spanish
yoke, provided we would promise not to give
up the country to Spain at peace but until
such promise was made, we must expect to
find them open or secret enemies. The truth
of this inforlnation received from sir Samuel
Aehmuty, was confirmed by every days ex.
perience. They were unable to procure In
telllgcncc upon which they could place the
least reliance. They could neither procure
guides, nor accurate accounts of the country
