ROLLA's Addrefs to the Peruvian Army.

MY BRAVE ASSOCIATES—partners of my toil, my feelings and my fame!—can Rolla's words add vigour to the virtuous energies which infpire your hearts?—No—you have judged as I have, the foulneſs of a crafty plea by which theſe bold invaders would delude you—Your generous ſpirit has compared as mine has, the motives, which, in a war like this, can animate their minds, and OURS,—THEY, by a ſtrange frenzy driven, fight for power, for plunder, and extended rule—we, for our country, our altars, and our homes.—THEY follow an Adventurer whom they fear—and obey a power which they hate—we ſerve a Monarch whom we love—a God whom we adore.—Whene'er they move in anger, defolation tracks their progrefſs!—Where'er they paſſe in amity, affliction mourns their friendſhip!—They boaſt, they come but to improve our ſlate, enlarge our thoughts, and free us from the yoke of error!—Yes—THEY will give enlightened freedom to our minds, who are themſelves the ſlaves of paffion, avarice, and pride.—They offer us their protection—Yes, ſuch protection as vultures give to lambs—covering and devouring them!—They call on us to barter all of good we have inherited and proved, for the deſperate chance of ſomething better which they promife.

—Be our plain anſwer this: The throne WE honor is the PEOPLE'S CHOICE—the laws we reverence are our brave Fathers' legacy—the faith we follow teaches us to live in bonds of charity with all mankind, and die with hope of bliſs beyond the grave. Tell your invaders this, and tell them too, we ſeeK no change; and, leaſt of all, ſuch change as they would bring us.
