FEMALE PATRIOTISM.

The recent revolutions in South America have
been fruitful Of chvalrous deeds Of daring, and he
rojc examples Of virtue and patriotism, in both SEX
Az N every age and IN every country, not except
Ing our own, female spirit has frequently nerved
the arm Of the soldier, and essentially aided tie
cause Of liberty and independence, But we know
not, that the annals Of any nation whether ancient
Or modern, furnish an instance of more exalted sem
timents, Of a more generous devotion, or Of more
resolute frmness Of character, than the following,
account OF South American heroine founded On
fast and translated from the Spanish, by one Of ma
ny Patriots, who have been exled from their coun-
Try, and have sought an asylum upon our Shores
The story forms noble theme for novel, poem,
NJ tragedy, and as such it may possibly be used
BY some future muse.
