BIOGRAPHY.
GENERAL BOLIVAR

SiR-The original If the within Jst.ar
was written for my information by general
k-----------, and was addressed to Mr..
M -, who forwarded it to me.
AT that time, had correspondence
with general Bolivar, and afterwards met
him several times. During this cerrespou-
dence and these meetings., [ saw fiat he
was maj of brilliant abilities, and esteem.
ed him as one well qualified to liberate his
ensiaved untry. But il IS the lot of those
who are lifted by nature 90 uutstrip others
IN tae career OF power, to be baset with en-.
vinus enemies OF THERE own natiuD, aud even
of their own kindred.
Ehe failure ofthe late patriotic enter
prise of general Bolivar must chiefly be inn
puted to such cause, by which that aid
was withheld fresa-ai@ w,thsstt which the
most prudent and best concerted plan must
prove aboftive.
1t must be the wish of every enlightened
and generous mind. that the South Amer.
cans were enabled TO cast off their oopres.
sors, and to enter into the possession and
exercise OF the rights and powers off free
and independent people.
That general Bolivar's present reverses
may bc temporary, ard that he may be ear
u enabled to resume his high enterprise,
must he the wish of every unbiassedserson
Who shall peruse this sketch of his life.
