Translation OF Me Ladies Corfez' card 10 the officers Of the
frigate Rarian
From the Valparaiso Mercurio OF December ls, 1851
We insert with pleasure the following tribute OF graft
Jude from the ladies' of the Cortez family TO the Amer
cans We have, indeed, taken the liberty of emitting
some sentences in which the fair prescribed have
given full expression to their resenments Whilst the
Mercurio considers il duty at this time TO nculcate
clemency and generosity, cannot give place in its
columns TO feelings less worthy:
"The Ladies Cortez to the Americans Before leaving
these shores, upon which forbidden TO land we
deem It sacred duty at parting to express gratitude
to the noble American people who, through their repre-
sentaves board the Raritan have given generous
hospitality and protection. May these lines serve as
protest against any malignant rivalry which would ever
mpeach the virtues OF this great and free people let
them be evidence to the world that there still exist
hearts for which gratitude is bond and not hui
initiation or a chain. We do nothing for our pro-
tectoTs-our good wishes only reach them Called
10 conquer the world by the force OF their principles we
pray they may continue their glorious career and oh
may that regenealng light of freedom day pierce
even TO the land Aranco!- Happy they, said our
Saviour, : who have loved much and who have wept
Americans"
'Aranco is the southern and uneng htened portion
OF Chill inhabited mostly by native savage Indians.
