C0MPArRtOTS AND FRIENDS
Hitherto and until the present occasion, we
have been deprived Of the opportunity of
making manifest 10 You, The lively interest
which we have taken in ypur vissisitudes and
sniferings, as well as i'll NoMr first and recent
iriumphs over the cruel despotism of Spain
but our cause beng the same as YOURS You
could not have doubted one moment, that we
should have considered the result of YOUR no.
Win the same SOilCitu0e ana interest
winch our own would inspire us. Inhabitants
OF The same continent, victims OF TIE same des-
potlAn, and the same iadignlties, embark ed
III the same cause, and sharing in its common
dangers, neither distance nor adverse fortune
could change our feelings and affections nor

new splendor with which the noble deeds of
your eXcelieDcy has resOuuded through the
world no homage can be more precious than

which il is bestowed. We are proud TO say
that none can be more interested i'll your hap
piness, as none can more admire the constan-
cy which has surmOunted the great obstacles
which were opposed 10 yonr heroic courage.
We expect every moment the agreeable news
OF the expulsion ot tyranny iromyonrs soil, after
delHging ii with so much blood and thus eras-
ing the stain of having been so long subjected
