■h a deep sense
ble peace, and
trality of 1 lie
United States, towards the bellige
rent pawersof Europe. Of war we
have had a ihare—That it was in a
glorious cause, will, we hope, ever
prove ill'the recollection, a motive
to a conduct both dignified and
spirited ; but we likewile hope that
it will always be, as we believe it is
at present, the disposition of all our
fellow citizens, to cultivate that pa
cific national character focongenial
with our Republican Government,
and so necellary to its purity and
duration. Your proclamation we
think conformable to the solid in
terests of the country, its eXpreifiops
warranted by the opinions & wishes
of our fellow-citizens, and to have
been inlpired by the'true fpir.it of
that Constitution, under which we
•enjoy the sweets of civil
and abundant prosperity. T6 this
additional proof of that vigilant pa
triotifui, to which we have been so
often and so highly indebted, we
beg leave to give our unanimous
approbation.

Travellers who arrived at Maldenade and

ordinary phenomenon which happened inthfc
river La Plata lalt April—an ijnpe tuoiisjwpnd
roie, it blew with a violence so extreme, that
it drove tl)« waters of the river ten leagues
distance from in banks—all the neighboring
cbuntry was inundated, the bed of the river
was left dry—This terrible irruption disco
vered vessels which had been loft for thirty
years—they found among othefs an English
lKip which was wrecked in the year 1762—
many persons went to the place—and walked
all about the bed of the river on dry feet ;
they are returned loaded with the lilver and
spoils which had been fwal lowed up in the vefTels
—This phenomenon which ought to be rank-"
ed in the number of the grand revolution;; of

time the winjl ceased, and the waters return

of thfc river.
