The provinces ot Fl,cGtap and GuctismaIa

not decidedly hostile 10 the interests and rights
of the crown but which IS too little in obedi-
euce To the Vice ROys and Captain Generals.

NOTES.
(G) To this date, MAY, lSi7,) this continues
! true.
| 10 We have seen accounts Of" great victo-
| RES, and signal defeats, in this quarter; but
! the facts have beeu so much eiiveloped in
pOmpouS rerbJge," in the manufacture of noun
tdliiS cut ot mole hills, so extensively proSecu-
| lea as IN put any correct estimate OF loss and
| gain on either side at defiance. The last in
| teilisencer says, the Patriots have met with
| great reverseS in MeXico-have been driven
| from NdtagOrda, and other points, and only
! hold Gaivest0wn by its vicinity to New-OT-
| leans ;wience they obtain supplies and provi-
| SONS. OF this there can be no doubt-that
| The vceroy Apodaca has received very
! considerable endorsements from Spain and
| must be at present an overmatclI to any hostile
| force nits vicinity. The possession OF Mex
| leo is very important to Spain asst keeps O.
pen the communication between her rich mines
| and era Cruz--the port of export of their
| treasures.
| (c) We are wholly ignorant of these events
| III these remote and dem-savage provinces :;
and occurrences therein can be of put little
| political Importance.
! ID Late accounts from Texas appear TO
| confirm ths.See second note.
! (el Its true, Buenos Ayres has supreme
! director (Mr. PucyrredonD and Congress,
( but it's believed they connected with the
| Congress ofrucuman at least. he has recently
J (flarCh 2, 1917 y declared something like war
under Gen. Lacor. We know nothing OF
| the influence OF the merchants spoken OF.
| % Here the Spaniard reckonS without his
! HoSt. The Patriots unquestonabiy have OBJ
| tanned very brilliant success in Chill and at
last dates were in possession OF the capital
and the principal port OF Valparaiso.
(g) In this particular too the writer is bad
gHeSser ; and if We are to credit the Buile-
tins Of the hDeTatlng army, the Spanish royal
ISIS have been animated bones and all.
