Tf"Viere are tTiree weekly journals or newspa pers published in the city, which have an exten sive circulation through the United Provinces. They all advocate the principles of liberty and republican forms of government, as none other would suit the public taste. The year before ' la.-t, it is true, one of the papers ventured to ad vocate the restoration of the Incas of Peru with a limited monarchy, but it was badly received.— No proposition for the restoration of hereditary power of any kind, as far as I could learn, will be seriously listened to for a moment, by tbe peo ple Kven the ordinary language had changed, They speak of “ tbe state,” *• the people,” the public.” “ country,” and use other terms, as in the United States, implying the interest that each man takes in what appertains to the community The first principle constantly inculcated is ” that all power rightfully emanates from the people.” This, and similar dogmas, form a part ot the ed ucation of children, taught at the same time with their catechism. It is natural, that the passion for free government should be continually in creasing. A fact mav be mentioned to show the solid advancement they have made, which is, that the number of votes taken at their election- increases every year. In becoming habituated to this peaceful and orderly mode ot exercising tlfcii rijrht of choosing those who are to be invested with authority, the tumultuous ami irregular re moval. bv a kind of general oratory or acclama tion, of those who have been chosen, will gradu ally cease. Rather than disturb the order of society, they will endure with patience, until the time arrives for effecting a regular and constitutional change. Since the election of the present dire, tor, none of these tumults, before so frequent, haveoccui- red. These tumults have seldom been attended with bloodshed ; yet they produce great confu sion and disorder, and give rise to habits of in subordination, at the same time that they are ru inous to the character of a nation. The vice royalty of Buenos Vyres differed from the rest in one important particular. It contain ed no nobility, or, if any, very few. This may be regarded as a favorable circumstance in their society, knottier favorable feature, very neces- sarv to the successful administration of their af fairs. is the conduct of many individuals who have filled the highest office of slate, in descend ing from that dignified situation, t > inferior pi* ts, ami discharging their duties with alacrity.
