There are no ,‘~ ‘j:Qli'ibite.d,“3bool;s .of any kind :
all are pet‘mitted-=?i‘:c"irciilatg: ifieely, or be openly
sold in the book stores ; aifiongthem is the New
Testam-.=.nt in Spanish. This alone is a prodi-
gious step towards the emancipation of their
minds from prejudices. There are several book
stores, whose profits have been rapidly increas-
ed; a proof that the number ofireaders has aug-
mented in the same proportion. There lfad been
‘a large importation of English books, a language
btzcoming daily more familiar to them._ Eight
years ago, the- mechanic art of printing was
scarcely known at Buenos Ayres: at present,
there are three printing ofllces, one of them, ve-
ry extensive, containing; four presses. The price
of printing is notwithstanding, at least three times
higher than in the United States ; but, as‘ there
is no trade or intercourse with Spain, all school
books used in the country, some of them origin-
al, are published at Buenos Ayres : the business
is therefore profitable, and rapidly extending.--
Therc are many political essays, which, instead
of being inserted in the newspapers, are pub-
lished in loose sheets; there are also original
pamphlets, as well as republications of foreign
works. The constitution of the United'States,
and of the different States, together with a vety
good history of our country, and many of our
most important state papers, are widely circula-
ted. The work of Dean l"unes, the venerable
historian of the country, comprised of three
octavo volumes, considering the infancy of the
typographic art in this part of the world, may
be regarded as an undertaking of some magni-
tutlc.
There are three weekly journals or newspa-
pers published in the city, which have an exten-
sive circulation through the United Provinces.—-
They all advocated the principles of liberty and
the republican forms_ of government, as none oth-
er would suit the public taste. The year before last,
it is true, one of the papers ventured to advocate
the restoration of the Incas of Peru, with alim-
ited _monarchy, but it was badly received. No
proposition for the restoration of hereditary pow-
er of any ltind,as far as I could learn will he so-
riously listened to for a moment, by the people.
Even the ordinary language has changed. They
-speak of ‘ the state,’ ‘ the peoplefi ‘ the public,’
* the country,’ and use other terms, as in the U-
nited States, implying the imerc-st'tbat each man
first principle constantly inculcetted is, ‘ that, all
ipower rightfully emanates from lite peopl::.’....
This, and similar dogmas, form a part of the
education of their children. It is natural that
the passion for free-government should be con-
tinually increasimr. A fact maybe mentioned
to show the solid advancement they have made :
which is, that the number ofvotes taken at their
clections increase every year.
bituated to this peaceful and orderly mode of or-
ercising their right of clioosiug those who are in-
vested with authority, the tumultuous and irreg-
ular removal, by a kind of general outcry or ac-
clamatiou, of those who have been chosen, will
gradually cease. » _ '
Rather than disturb the order of society, they
will endure with patience, until the tin1e.v‘arrivcs,
for effecting a regular and constitutional change.
Since the election of the present director, none
red.
sion and disorder, and give rise to habits of in-
subordination, at the same time they are ruinous
to the character of a nation. _
The vice-royalty ‘of Bucnos Ayres differed
ifrom. the rest in one important particular. ~ It
contained no nobility, or, ifany, rery few. This
may be regarded as a favorc.l;lc citcumstance in
necessary to the successful administration oftheir
,afl‘all‘S, is the conduct of many- individuals who
have filled the highest officcs ofstate, descend-
ing from their dignified situation to‘inferior posts,
and discharging their duties with alac.rit_v. Thus
we behold Gen. A.’-Balcarce, who,w'as.formex-ly
period, now servingin the staff under the chiefof
that department. General .~'tzct1cnega, and Gen-
eral Rontleau,,once elected t0 the chair of state,
are at present employed in minor oiliccs. There
are‘ others who have occupi;--tl the some c.-lcv-;:-
ted post, who have retired to the station of pri-
vate citizens. -
The general capacities of the United Provin-
ces ior national defence, are alsoiniportant in
many respects. The nature and extent of the
country afibrds the inliahitants numerous advan-
tages over an invading army. The ease with
which their herds of cattle niay be driven to dis-
tant places, beyond the reach of an cn-.-my, and
the rapid movements which the troops of the
country can make, from the ample supply of hor-
ses and mules, are circumstances of great con-
sequence in a military view. Even the towns
not fortified, from the manner in which they are
built, and from the construction of their houses,
furnishpowerful means of defence, as the Brit-
ish army under Whitlocke experienced in their
attack on Buenos Ayres. , »

ments and remarks, some inaccuracies and er-
intentional. I have only to add, that the recep-
me chief magistrate, was friendly and flutter.
