"MrxrcASs: On putting my foot on the
soil of my country, l salute You with the
liveliest emotion. My breast palpitated
with tenderness from the moment that my
eve began to discover from the shores the
elevated mountains which indicated the
proximity of land, everything in which is
dear to my heart, and in which everything
recalls to me the most grateful remembra-
ces.
You have summond me, believing that l
should be useful in freeing you from that
state of anarchy and dissolution into which
you have fallen; and have not hesitated 10
listen to your voice. You have me now up
on your soil, resolved to devote all my
strength to an object so important. But if
have been ready to obey your call, it was

the salvation Of my country-.if each one Of
you does not aid me by cooperating with all
your power for the attainment of these pur-
poses.

US from this affecting error. Cast your eye
over the map Of your country, and you will
perceive great part Of our territory has
been lost. Examine the condition of your
landed estates, and YOU will find only dis
order, abuse and ruin. What is your cred
