His Reverence -, a clergy man Of
no mean abilities, appears below himself in
the pulpit, merely from his having got into
the practice of delaying preparations for
the sabbath to the very last OF the week,
when not unlrequently, company unexpect-

out so that a considerable proportion of
his sermons, composed in the hurry of his
spirits, bear no great analogy TO the 6 beat
en- oil'' Of the sanctuary. A reversal OF
merely timing his preparations would con-
tribute as well to the comfort of the re-
spectacle gentleman himself, as to the edi-
fication OF his hearers.

Referred to IN the Presidents Message at
the commencement Of the second session
of the fifteenth Congress-.
MR.. RODNEY TO THE SECRETARY OF
STATE. -(Conciuded.)
Amongst the causes of dissatisfaction,
to which | have alluded, the preponder-
ance of the capital has been mentioned.
Its great weight in the scale of national
affairs is to be ascribed to its greater ex-
ertions 10 the national cause. These are
owing to its comparative wealth, and to
its active, intelligent, and enterprising
population. The armies that have been
raised in this city and the neighbouling
country, with the supplies in money and
munitions of war drawn from these sources.
have been truly extraordinary.
1t would be difficult task to make an
exact calculation, or to form even a pro.
bable estimate, but all seemed to concede
the superior merit claimed on account Of
their exertions, when compared with then
wealth and population: and it is not un
likely that Buenos Ayres has, in conse'
quence, assumed higher tone, and &C.
quired controlling influence, which she
has sometimes abused.
Another source of discomfort is the I'M
fortunate dispute between the Banda ORR
entail and Buenos Ayres, which had ar
influence on the proceedings of the latter
towards the Portuguese.
The original cause of division may be
traced to jealousy long subsisting between
| the rival cities of Monte Video and Bue
nos Ayres. This has become habitual
and has extended to the country. Private
interests ard personal views have also in
creased their dissensions.
Gen. Artigas (who bears the character
Of chief Of the Orientals, as has been al
ready stated, and has also assumed thai
Of the Protector of the Entire Rios anC
Santa Fee) was originally, in the roya
service, a captain in provincial corps
In this he continued for some time after
the revolution had commenced at Buenos
Ayres. But, in the year 1911, taking
offence, as it is said, at some conduct o.
the Spanish commandant of Colonia, be
abandoned the royal cause, and entered
Into the service of the patriots. So early
as the year 1913, when acting against
Monte Video, he became dissatisfied with
ISaratea, the commander in chief from
