Why do the Agricultural Committee as

prosperity? Ii is peace that has put an
end to what is called prosperity. When

crops Of a country fail, the hearders OF
corn call il prosperity; when the drought
stunts the cabbage; and turuips, the Liack

Il season of great prosperity with the ply

stgtws the fields, lanes, and hedge rows

happiness in case like this, we alud", as
IA matter of course, to the wei being OF the

eat, drink, and wear. This is national
prosperity this comes by peace, but it
does not come along with high prices and
high rents. SO that, as appears to me, the
Committee has in view, when it talks of
prosperity, prosperity like that which, as
before mentioned, occasionally attends the
com hoarder, the undertaken, and the birds
ofprey. The gay looks, lively movements,
and the glib tongues of all the bankers and

Zoroaster says, in his writings that the
Deity once gave him a sight Of hell, and ol
the punishments reserved for the wicked.
He saw several kings there, and, among o.
Tiers, one who had but one foot. He en-
quired the reason Of his lameness. The
Almighty replied "This peryerse king
never did but one good action in the whole
course OF his life. AS he was once going
TO the chase, he saw dromedary tied 81

made one step with bis right foot towards

p" In the course OF the last voyage we were
chased more than once by Cochrane's ves-
seis, which we most unexpectedly found on
that part of the coast. He would only have
robbed as, as he did other vessels, under pre-
text OF exacting duties on goods to be sold in
country he pretended to have possession Of
and which he was obliged to eyacuate imme
dlately after. All the property be thus acsuir-
ed was lost IN bis ship, the San Martin, which
ran aground and went to pieces at ChorIlas,
where cupidity led himstO land 5000 fanegas
oil wheat, which he had on board, tstolen) and
which was worth near 100000; this was
also lost. Since then there has been made an
Irreparable breach between Cochrane and San
Martin. When the Spanards evacuated
Lima, they still held the Castles ofCalao, the
port OF Lima twoleagues distant. Two months
afterwards the Spaniards returned to Callao,
marching by San Martin uDmolested, who
renamed to cover Lima, and took the pre-
caution to send all his baggage and money
on board two or three merchantmen at Az
con,Ianother portsix leagues from Lima
Nocnrane went from Callao and seized The
money, to the amount of 100000, and paid
on his fleet, which was two years in arrear.-
! Cochrane had previously ascertsined that the
ileet never would have been paid, and am
very well persuaded Of the fact, for jngrati-
tude and chIcanery are prime ingredients in
the character of the American Spaniards, and
notwithstanding that the success of San Mar
TN must be attributed entirely to the feet, and
notwithstanding their unheardi of suffefings
and unparalleled fdelity-sdi there is no
doubt IN my mind that San Martin hoped
they.wouid dispense and melt away, and there
would be an end Of it. 1t is the best thing
COchrane every did, ADD entirely conforma1
BILE to his character, but, Of cotlrse ii Produced
an open war between him and San Martin,
who went so far as to imprison officers who
went on shore from the Feet and If he could
nave caught COchrane would have shot him.
Cochrane Immediately despatched a vessel
here with money for this government, and a
relation OF the whole affair, and then sailed
with his feet for the north. Then San Mar
TN despatched vessel, and now this govern
ment has to decide between them. II Is said
that 1t approves ct C's. conduct # would an

All that Chill has gained is an extended
commerce, though exclusively slackled with
the most absurd and arbitrary regulations. and
enormous duties. In any other respect Chill
has gained nolhing.-As to liberty, they don't
know the meaning of the word, and as to laws,
why, the Governor of every town and every
petty village, is as arbitrary as the Dey of
Algiers, so that the character of the man
determines the happiness or misery of the

peated'y coniscatng the effects & transporting

no longer branded with infamy on this ac-
count
The only thing in favour of this country is
