Carlos Federico Lecor, the Baron de la Laguna, was a Brazilian official who opted to continue his allegiance to the authority of Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil. Lecor appeals to other rebels, underscoring his view that the new Cabildo of Montevideo was elected by a faction of Anarchists and yet has the audacity to declare itself the supreme authority of the State.
