MR.. RODNEY TO THE SECRETARY OF


MR.. RODNEY TO THE SECRETARY OF
STATE.
SIR--I have now the honour to sub
nit TO your consideration my report on
the subject of the late mission to South.
America, embracing the information de.
rived from the various sources within my
power, so far as | had an opportunity Of
improving the advantages possessed.
With the history of the conquest Of the
Spanish possessions in America, you must
be familiar. They were principally, il
not exclusively, achieved by private ad
venturers. When completed, most op,
pressive system of government, or rather
despotism, was established by the parent
country.
These extensive regions were originally
swayed by two vice.roys. The domin-
ions of Spain in North America were I'm.
der the government of the vice-roy Of
Mexico, and all her possessions in South
America were subject to the control of the
vice-roy of Peru.
The remoteness of some parts of the
country from The residence of the vice
roy at Lima occasioned, in 1918, the es-
Establishment of another vice-roya atty at
Santa Fe de Bogota, in the kingdom of
New-G Grenada. Ia 1881, New-Grenada
was divided, aud a number of the prov
inces composing that kingdom were sepa-
rated from it. These were put under the
jurisdiction of captain general and pres.
ident, whose seat Of government was al,
Caracas.
In 1866, Chill was erected into sepa-
rate captain generalship; in 1918, new
vice-royalty was established at Buenos
Ayres, comprehending all the Spanish
possessions TO the east Of the Western
Cordileras, and to the south Of the river
Maranon.
This immense empire seems, according
to the laws Of the Indies, to have been
considered distinct kingdom Of itself,
though united TO Spain, and annexed to
the crown of CASTLE. In this light it is
viewed by Baron Humboldt, in his essay
on New-Spain.

ID the regulations established in these
governments, the prominent features Of
their political institutions exhibit strik-
ing resemblance, as the general system
was the same.
Their commerce was confined to the
parent country, and to Spanish vessels ex-
ciusively. They were prohibited, under
the penalty Of death, 10 trade with for
eigners. The natives Of old Spain COM
posed the body of their merchants
Though this part of the system had pre-
viously to the revolution, been relaxed, 10
some degree, particularly by the statut Of
free commerce, as it is styled, the relief
was partial, and the restrictions continued
severe and oppressive.
All access to the Spanish settlements
was closed to foreigners, and even the in
habitants Of different provinces were pro-

Tel me, the greatest source Of 6ass to man
Where lies his pleasures, where his grestest plan
1s il in boarding riches. pile on pile
Or 10 IL in sumo damscl's lovely smile
sls't II IN the nobier paths Of slippery fame
Or in iieligion's more than holy flame ,
B'ep one Of these, or ali msy be thy bliss,
Hut how on earth enjoy his happnessf
sThus--sPnrn the haaad FIRE, the poison'd cup
That drinks thy every other pleasure up
Then shall enjoyment biess thy happy days, N
Onnipotence be plesscd--and man shalt praise;
And thou my youthful friend, in time beware.
Nor dNik the liquid dre--but hqpid air.
