ICorespondence of Correio Mercant Of Rio Janeirol
BfoNTEyIDEo, Dec H. 1858.
On the lst inst the Minister Of the United States pre-
sentod his credentials 10 Vice President Carr. The
speeches which delivered this solemn occasion
are curious, and may serve as a model
According To sr. Carr General Urquiza, after termi
mating his public career, will belong to the category OF
curious Objects like the mastodon and become worthy
Of the study OF the philosopher and Of the ranscendena
politician His Excellency likewise remarked that as re-
CARDS the laws OF our Confederation planned and formed
according " those Of her elder sister hus he calls the re-
public Of the United Sates they better than GUS
toms ,, assertion which cannot sound very pleasantly
to the pride of the Argentnes.
IL the words of Sr Carril have any eignifcaton the
government OF the Confederation cannot look with salts
faction the passage of the North American ota up to
Paraguay for Of the principal passages Of his speech
reads as follows You will find in the disposition Of
this and country the greatest facility for OBJ
tanning success in whatever you may undertake for the
purpose Of preserving in those regions Of procuring
international justice of increasing the security and liberty
OF commercial intercourse and of contributing 10 the sta
by of governments provided that inspired with fra
terna and benevolent spirit you repudate violence which
does not accord with the policy Of the Of the
Union"
However the secret relations which link events
to each other may escape the sagacity Of hu-
man understanding, and however it may be necessary
have time order to explain or to under
stand hem there not wanting people who attribute
the Yankees projects ofconquest and who suppose that
thosc turbulent descendants of old Albion wish 70 acquire
guay wherein to pursue political pan viz TO coun.
tcrbalancc the influence of the empire of Brazil in the
States OF the Platte rver and In those which congu
ous to them No other government s interested In
keeping any strong feet whatever at distance from the
river Paraguay than that Of the empire Of Brazil on ac
count of its predominance in those waters s frontier
position and It's political situation.
From the day American nation of first order like the
United States shall medde with the affairs of the republics
Of the South there will be end of the influence of the
Brazilian empire. Old rivalres foster the antipathjes
OF the descendants from Spain and Portugal the antapo
OF systems and the vcssitudcs through which these
people passed, have disposed the mind Of the masses
against the Empire Therefore, whenever powerful aid
s offered them the hatred they secretly nourish against
monsrchca institutions and their anger caused by eppos
ed offences will break forth. For this far sighted
policy must nterpose its good Offices order TO prevent
the North American ota from penetrating into the heart
Of the river Paraguay, for this foreign element might
serve as centre to the exaggerated and subversve
tensions already existing Meanwhile we have here al
ready vessels Of the North American ola Their
in the waters Of the River Platte have aroused
vrulence with which II expresses itself may be con-
cludcd that the feversh state Of that population has be-
come already chronic.
