only there is not a similar opportunity of manifestation ) , that among the adventurers there will be some thorough-going- rogues , who , having received the two or three months' pay in advance , take the first opportunity of decamping without seeing a shot fired , and before they even land in the country . The said governments are apt to visit this swindling trick upon the very
men who go through the whole campaign , and stand b y them to the last . Rogues find a booty in patriot services , and the patriot governments swindLe the honest men to make up for the deficiency . This is just what the Mexicans did in 1825 and 1826 : Through the intervention of foreigners , chiefly English , the
Mexicans established their independence with the fall of the Castle of St Juan Ulloa , the last strong-hold of the Spaniards in that country . No sooner was this accomplished , than captains and colonels and generals , who had never even seen an army of one thousand men , and commodores and admirals who werg
literally only competent to manage a small boat , and for the most part had never once set foot upon the deck of a squarerigged ship , became numerous in the gold-laced streets of Vera Cruz . But towards the handful of the survivors who had actually effected the reduction of Ulloa , they manifested neither gratitude nor common honesty . We are not ashamed to confess that
we were personally engaged in this struggle , but we are ashamed of the Mexican government .

The sacred silence of heaven ' s depth , far shown , Thro' molten sun-set ' s subjugated beams ; The waves that glisten where keen lights arc thrown , And from the distance bear long spreading gleams ; Soft groves and wooodlands , where some lover lone , Or grey-hair * d prophet , may review his dreams ; These are thy pencil ' s empire , and its sway Gives loveliness and peace , from dawn to sinking day .
Oh Natuhe I if thy breath awakes earth's flowers With many-tinted smiles and odours rare ; If thou with beauty deck ' st the glades and bowers , Building brief temples in the clouded air ; Or shedding gleamy gold on antique towers , And edging bright the mountain ' s forehead bare ; Over Claude ' s Tomb thy soul of beauty pour . Who fixed those vision * pure , that man might love Thee more
