Every one now has no fear in expressing
his opinion and saying what would have cost him
his life before. Nearly all regret that Rosas was
not killed or taken prisoner, and blame the English
for protecting such a monster. He was to sail to-
day for England They ought to mob him as they
did Haynau, the Hungarian butcher, in London.

POSTSCRIPT.
FEBRUARY IL.
Rosas left here on the 9th, and was put on board
the English corvette Conflict and has sailed direct
for England. ] have been informed that all who
went with him was Manuelita, his son John, wife
and son, General Echagne, Ex-Governor of Santa
Fe, and wife. Don Pedro Ximeno went down with
him, but has returned, and will land again LARA
zabal (the scamp has landed, ard has paid his re-
spects to Gen. Urquza. Up to the present time,
Gen urquiza has not shown any bloody disposition;
and all that have gone to visit him, though
craving pardon, have been told by him that he had
nothing against them; that if they had offended the
laws OF the country, they would be tried by them
There seems to be disposition not to prosecute for
opinlons sake; and the Unitarans, who have been
prosecuted to death by Rosas are the most respecta-
bic and enlightened portion of the community and
have none OF those vndictive, blood thirsty and rob-
bing propensties that Rosas and his myrmidons
had.
Atpresent there is, perhaps, an excess of liberty
and eventually it may be proper to restrain it but
until the exuberance works oil, it is and ought to
be. tolerated. The people hardly know how to act
and talk, being over rejoiced at the downfall of the
tyrant The press speaks out boldly and fearlessly
quite contrast to their former course; but it is
well enough known that they did not dare to do diff
ferently. Why, then, should they be severely CEN
sured ! Mr.. Hallet has suspended the Gaceta Mey-
co'ta for the present have not as yet called on
him, and am sorry for him, he is a most estima-
bic man, and was no more than publisher for
Rosas.

course OF this government. viii they be liberal
How will their governor be appointed And will

federation Ii so, VIII he be elected, or will he

and time only can answer them. Ny own opinion
is, that this people require strong them,
and IN some respects Rosas governed them well. If
he had been more humane, and respected the lives
and property ofhis subjects, and not murdered them
for not agro cling with him in political matters. he
would have been tolerated.; but he lost the chance
OF making himself true patriot. Urquiza will,
very likely, call on this government to pay good
share of the expenses Of the war And how will they
raise the money? Rosas always let the bank make
him money, and do not know but that would
be rs good course any for the present govern
ment to pursue. If they create public stock, ii
must sell ut great discount, and the present mo-
ney can neverbe redeemed at par Since the revo-

From all we can learn, Rosas had $4,000 men, and
urquiza $4,000. There are great many wounded
