The affairs of South America cannot but be
interesting to those who live under free gov

the patriots we must believe the time is not far
distant when the whole of South America will be
liberated from the shackles Of transatlantic do
minion. That they will be able TO gOtcrn them
Fselves, can only be determined by future events.
Such are the discordant materials which com
pose the population Of The South, that we cannot
but fear many years will elapse before repose,
under any permanent system, may be expected.
The atrocious acts Of piracy, with which our
papers abound, are seriously alarming. Govern
