Buenos lures, FEB. 25, 1919.
This day ,he sovereign congress opened
their session, and the supreme director.
hr;gsdier general Don Juan Martin de
Puevrredon. delivered the following adj
dress.
Most sovereign Sir,-ltiswith real plea
sure that this day fulil my duty, teiclta'
ting your sovereignty on the opening your
sessions. The friends of the country ex-
meet FROM them that the vacillation on winch
the state Auctua,es, may have speedy ter
mina,jon: and its enemies dread to see the
dav in which the order and the empire OF
the laws are forever consolidated; they
therefore make use of those arts and eXer-
tons which despair inspires them with, IN
order 10 prevent its ever appearing to US,
or al least to protract It,
The different means to which they resort
to destroy our peace and liberty, are pub
lie, and well known 10 your sovereignty.
Seduction, deceit, fslsehood, conspiracies
against the lives of the first authorities, IL
bels 10 tarnish their fame, and the most
vile pasquinades, are the weapons they
daily employ to destroy that harmony IN
which the United Provinces repose.
1t is aflictng to the least sensible heart
20 have recourse to prescriptions and ex-
lies. as often as the crimes OF sedit'on re-
ouire. Nav, it is against the reputation OF
the executive to see him constantly armed,
And ALWAYS Furnishing the turbulent. Such
a violent state of things is irksone, per-
picking and dishearreni'g, both to the peo-
pie and to the government.
.t is therefore the first and most urgent
,ssity to look for remedy that may
tually annihilate the germ of the evils
pre- observed. There is no other but
gnrle,ion oftbe constitution, which at
engrosses all your attention, and
Lus expe citations of the people.
khe authority becomes firmly con-
and law established botn tor those
|nmand and those that obey. then
THAT spirit OF emulation, ambition and
Try, which so ei,eE caused troubles ana
Entrances in the state be utterly destroy
IA. The executive will then have, in an
unerring rule, oil the energy and strength
necessary. and will be released from the
MANY snares which disturb him, and enga-
ges that attention which other more 'inpor-
tant business demands.
Your sovereignty knows the disturbed
condition in which found the country OF
which had the honor to be appo'nle su-
irene director. Oblivion OF former CON
duct. acts OF beneticence, anc other conci-
liatory measures, produced tor some time
the most sanitary effects. Order rev'ed'
ana las advantages were every where expe.
riepced. But some malicious, ungoverna-
he minds soon became dlscontenled, ana
Twas obliged to repress them' The same
infections were repeated, anu was unaer
the necessity of having recourse to tie IKE
measures. The agents OF disorder nave no!
ceased to appear from hat tune ,and coulo
no, omit 10 persecute and take them away
, considering it as the Srst duty OF my
charge.

We know OF no foreigner to whom the
than the Marquis de la Fayette, nor do we
know any whose departure from our shores
was more regretted, or " bo lett behind HIM
more grateful and attached TRENDS. His
zeal in our public service, and his private
virtues, alike entitle him to This high con.
slderatIon. OF such man the people OF
the United States will always be gratihed
To hear, when they can hear that he is
steadiast TO the principles OF the revolution.
Our readers will bear in mind that the fol-
loving is from an Emstssh publication, that
hatred OF the French is patriotism in Eng
land, and that there, neither democratic
principle nor democratic men, can expect
equal and exact justice" Wi,h these
drawbacks the following article will be
read with pleasure.
From The [Londonl Monthly Magazine.
THE MARQUIS DE La FAYETrE.
Nj. de la fayetle, having from DIS youth
fought for the American cause, was very
early IN life penetrated with the principles
of liberty. which form The basis OF the 60
vernment OF The United States. Ii he COM
mi.ted errors relative to the French revo-
luton, they arose entirely from his adml-
ration OF the Amert an Institutions, and Tor
the Zero Washing tom who guided the steps
of his nation in the path of Independence.
NJ. de la Fayette, young, rich, noble,
beloved by his country, quilted all these
advantages at The age of nineteen, 10 serve,
beyond the seas, this cause of liberty, the
love of which decided the character OF his
whole life Had he been so happy as to
have been born in America, his conduct
would have been that of Washington -

place called Prairie des Cotes, 70 o, So
miles, by water, below Monroe. Accord
ing 10 my custom, took survey Of the
country about me, and, while walking in
deep gully, among Pine Hills. disco
vered a great quantity o! sea shells, some
of which had been so hardened by ipidihc
juices, that they were absolutely petrIiled.
Some Of the oyster shells were changed
into siier, which would make lire with
steel. They all belonged TO their analo-
gies, now found in the sea-such as petit
Mite, madrepore, &c. | could not, although
searched with great attention, lind any
OF those shells which belonged to another
epoch OF the earth. such as nmmon,tg. gry-
phite, belennite, &C. The shells | found
were not disposed in banks, as have OBJ
served them in some of the Apprentices in
Italy, or in the lower Alps in Switzerland;
they were scattered, and promiscuously
mix ID, generally well preserving their
shapes, and easily known. This certainly
denotes land belonging to the third age of
the earth, and even not far distant; many
ages, indeed but, what are ages TO the
great works OF Nature? We, poor, short
lived beirgs, are obliged to divide time /;
but Natures giant steps and divisions are
such as it will probably be ever impossible
for us to calculate. We Can see the first
epoch in those immense masses OF granite
which form the highest APPS, and which
appear to have been always above The level
OF the ocean. The second epoch IS we'll
marked by the vast quantities OF caca.
reous stones, in all their varieties, which
cover The primitive earth, and even some
kinds OF granite, which appear to be of
secondary formation. The thsrd epoch has
put our globe in its actual present posi-
ton. But, who can say how many ages each
epoch contains

LATE FROM GIBRALTAR.

Capt. Co2iii, of The brig Adamant, who
arrived yesterday, left Gibraltar, on the Sd
Of June, and informs that Spain had ratified
the Treaty with the United States, ceding
the Floridas, and providing Tor certain A.
merlcan claims--and presumes that the
Hornet had sailed from Cadlz for New
York with tne ratification.
Capt. c. also informs, that about the 25th
of May, patriot privateer, being in chase
OF Spanish vessel, run OH the rocks two
or three miles to the westward OF TarItia,
and bilged. The crew attempted to es-
cape in their boats, but were pursued by
Spanish launches, and all made prisoners,
except the commander, who rather than
be taken, threw himself overheard and vas
drowned. He had much specie IN his pos
session, and there was said to be large
sum on board the prvaleer.
A merchant at Malaga, in letter 10 his
correspondent in this town, May 3, writes,
Our markets do by no means give en-
enlargement to the impoTtatlons OF Amer.
can produce. But prospects, thus tar, Tor
the ensuing vintage, are good, and lrult
will be better anu cheaper than last year.
A letter from Malaga, OF May IA, says,
" Our market is yer, dun, without any
prospect of its growing better al present.
Ii is overstocked with Sicily wheat, which
is selling at great sacrifices. There Is not
the least demand for any article whatever
OF foreign produce.
A letter from Spain, dated Nay 10, says,
" The expedition, consisting OF oo'ooo
troops, is expected to sail from CadIz III
the course of month. lis object Is to
make a final attempt for the reduction OF
the rebellion, by striking blow upon eve
ry one OF the revoled provinces at once,
and thus endeayor 10 terminate the contest.
The command IS to be gwen to lac MARQUIS
dYrujo. Anxiety is seen IN the counIe.
nance OF every Spaniard, VINO wishes lor
the end OF the civil war, while he secretly
breaties prayer for the success oi Tue
Patriots"
