like fhe sf9r Of Brlhlchrm has cond ucied us
through the obscure night of our ignorance,
Ii is true, that some among us eminent for
their lights, have crdeayoured 10 con,er this
balsamick cordial OF life into a most mortal
poison but fortunately for us, reason and
truth wounded i'll the most shameful manner
in their writings, have not wanted asserors
and avengers OF their cause. And we may
hatter ourselves, that we have in some mea-
sure contributed to the happiness of our
country, by combating opinions the most alb
surd, aINi showing how expedent, how neces-
sary 1t Is, that he Kingdom should adcht the
federafive system Of The C.ued States.
This consideration induces us 10 persist in
our labours, TO resist the inconyeniences and
prosecutions raised by the ignoranoe of some,
the malevolence OF Others and that which is
more general, the difference and incompati-
bic interests of the many.
On the other hand, the want of confidence
inspired by the weakness Of our talents and
the debility of our reasoning, would have O.
biiged us TO abandon our undertaking if the
love OF our country and the firm confidence
we possess that every citizen will contribute
to the utmost Of his ability TO the happiness
Of his country, did not dispel these vain fears.
Vile is the man, and traitor, who giving
himself up 10 inaction, and fond of his inter-
est, can forget the risks, which, at a time so
critical and big with the fate of present gene
rations, hang over us.
From the moment that Senor P has
stepped forward to aid our cndeavours, our
fears have abated and our hearts have opened
TO hope. The credit he SO Justly deserves,
gives reason to contide that his discourses,
his counsels, his profound reflections will be
productive Of our best interests. To explain
to the provinces the form of government best
suiting their situation and existing circum-
stances {; to reflect upon the precise object,
which should occupy the attention at this mo-
ment Of the federal congress, are subjects
which will give the greatest interest to his
Invaluable sheets. The Sepor P. will be Uf
the greatest service to the kingdom, by en-
ploying his pen on matters of the first impor-
tance and absolute necessity. He has already
sufficiently employed his time upon the gov
ernTent of Spain. We, in our turn, will now
exercise his talents or points more immedi-
ately concerning ourselves" Ea qua ad nos
mdgis Pertinent agitemns. Mot meaning
however, to insinuate that he shall neglect
his observations upon the nature of the estab-
lished governments in the peninsula, which
cannot fail indirectly to point out to us the
path We ought to pursue, by holding UP as a
beacon, their vices and imperfections.

FROM SOUTH AMERICA.

Capt. Pease, Of the brig Mentor, who ar

army was cncampod on the opposite bank OF
the Oronoks, awaiting aid from Caracas, in
order to attack the City. The Government
parry were toruiying the city, and making
every preparation to repel the ASSISTANTS.
After Capt. Peasc had anchored down the
river he heard that the army had crossed the
