Toa Friend in Buenot Ayres.
Dear Fricnd.
I had no doubt ofbe-
ing able to satisfy yur wishes en-
tirely in this letter: but powerful
and unforseen obstacle: have oc-
ured to prevent tbe execution
of my design. In the eourse of
our cor.respondence I promise to
do it and till wbich time 1 bcg you
to wait witb patiencc; for the pre-
sent, I shall content myself with
1peakiDg of tbe rrincipa.l things
in which yo u distrust
Tbis is a period, my dear Lew-
nam, when a. mother is unhappJ
whose son is nota hero, historiau,
rolitician or statesman. The ar-
tisan abandon!! his labou'r to exa-
mine ihe principies of civil society.
He arrogantly discussef! whatever
appertains to the laws of war.
He boldly prescribes the duties of
the people ; regulates the con-
duct and point~ out the boundaries
. of sovereign authority. The wife
forgets ber domestic avocations
and leaving perfumes and the toi-
Jet, her dressing room become!'>
transformed to a council chamber.
She elevates her voice to a manly
firmness and with the graces au1
blandishments of ber sex forteh
future events. All are in their
own conceit possessed of skill suf-
ficient to direct the world. And
in proportion to bis ignorance
every one judges of his own wis-
dom.
1 think witr, you that such an
anarchy of o_pinions is productive
of ill effects, but they will be mo-
mentary. By the advantages whicl1
result from them they will be in-
finitely counterbalanced. It mat-
ters not that the people are mad,
if the ravings of their imagination
are the crisis of reason. Slavery
and ignorance, th:e fever which
consumed it begin to disappear.
'l'he people bave discovered that
they have power to think: of
which heretofore they had never a
suspicion. This discovery will
free their ideas from the trammeh
that have preHnted the knowledge
ofibeir own diguity . Tlw power

CART.~ No. 2.
A un Amigo en Buenos Ayres.
Amigo de m.is aprecios. No
dude en esta satisfacer llenamente
tus deseos ; pero inconvenientes
poderosos, han impedido su exe-
cucion. Ell el discurso de nuestra
correspondencia, prometo hacerl?,
y basta tanto te encargo alguna
paciencia, contentando me por
ahora con decir algo sobre tus
principales desconfianzas.
Es epoca esta, querido Leunam
mio, en q~e es infeh~.la m~~:he,
que no tlene un hiJO heroe,
historiador, poltico, estadista.
Abandona un atiesano sus tareas,
para correr al examen de los fun-
Jamcntos de la sociedad; trata
con arrogancia, quanto pertenece
al derecho de la guerra; 1 rescribe,
intrepido, los derechos del pueblo;
egla la conducta de los soberanos;
delinea sus fac~ltades. Olvi~a uua
mugerj sus pnmeras atenciOnes :
dexa el tocador, y los perfumes ;
transforma su estrado en un gavi-
nete; y con tono de firmezaelev~hf
voz, acompaando! o de los reqme-
bros que son familiares a
su sexo,
para predecir los acontecimientos
futros. Todos se consideran en
aptitud de dirigir el mundo, y cada
uno se cree, tanto mas suficiente
para su desem ~. eo, quanto, que
su razon se halla mas se pultada en
el cabos de la ignorancia.
Tal n.narquia de sentimientos,
creo contigo, puede producir
mucho mal; mas, este debe ser
momentaneo. Las ventajas que la
siguen seran infinitameiti.e superio-
res al dao. No importa que l
pueblo delire, si los desconciertos
de su imaginacion son crzii de ]a
razon. La ignorancia, y la escla-
vitud, fiebres que lo deboraban,
vtn desapareciendo . El pueblo
ha conocido que puede penzar,
cu_ya scspecha no havia tenido otra
vez: l desplegara sus ideas libre
de las trabas que ~e oponan al
conocimiento de su dignidad: r;e
acercara el raciocinio, que hoy
desconoce; y vendeeira la . mano
g enerosa q ue rompio sus cadenas.
E sta conseqencia es necesaria
al estado presente) si la proteccion
of reasonng wh ich before they
knew not will be given tl1em, and
they will bless t he generous hand
that burst their chains.
This res ult will necessarily fol-
Tow should th ey still continue as I
ho ; e to enj oy the protection of
our liberators; to the promotion of
wbich evcry one will devote his in-
fluence who is a true p:ttriot or
desirous of the hap pincss o [ liis
country.
On seeing tlie proclamation you
inclosed me dated Buenos .Ay res,
27th. March, my l1eart swel led
with bitterness and 'grief. Sueh in-
decent invect ives, such illjm1g c>d,
senseless remarks the most auda-
cious iguorance could scarcel y
have poured forth. The signa-
ture of the person who is supposed
to be author strikes me with sur-
prise, and I cannot conceal m .'
astonishment that, in a country
wbere men of edncation and talents
are by no mcans wanting, a paper
sbould be tolerated which fixes a
stain on our national charactcc
I hate to dwell on a subj ect tbat
covers me with mortification and
shaii,le. Adieu till another op-
portunity.
Y our Friend,

THE SEPULCHRE OF LORD
NELSON.
MJD the dreadful calamitles in which
the too successful ambition of a lawless
conqueror has so long involvcd the
continen of Euro pe, the heartof evcry
Brti'oN must glow with peculiar satis-
faction, when hecontemplates the prou d
and dignified position wbich our naval
superiority and insular &ituation enablc
us to hold among the nations. From
the past hiJitory of ths country, and
particular] y froin ihe events of thc last
1tnd prescnt war, it is im possible not
to be convinced, tlmt out naval strength
and domestic security must ever be in-
separable. No military exertiom, of
which our population and resources
are capable, ought certainly to be neg -
lected; but while our navies ride un
controuled on the ocean, we may bid
defiancc to .the ravagers of provinces
and the conquerors of uations . Tt is
this proud and enviable circumstance
in the present aspect of Enrope, that
enableii u1, with justice and cfrect, to
