Dilatory, improvi- dent, singly fand en mass they cherish at absurd confidence that everything suggest» ed by their heated imaginations is practicable; they see no difficulties, and the obstacles encountered are attributed to treachery, hence the sadden murder of so many virtu~ ous men io this commotiou. Kind and warm in his attaclments, savage in hie enmity the Spaniard is patient under pri- vations, firm in boldly suffering, prone to eulden anger, vindictive, remem beriog in- sult longer than injury, bleod and cruel in revenge. With a natural perception of what is noble, his promiee is lofty, but his passions always overrule his reason, his performance is mean. It is not surprising that great expectations were at first formed of the heroism of the Spaniards, and those ex~ pectations were greatly augmented by their agreable qualities; there is not any people more attractive in the intercourse of society. Their majestic language, fine persons and becoming dress; their lively imaginations; the inexpressible beauty of their women, and the air of romance they throw over every action aud infuse into every feeling, combine to ; deludethe senses and impose upon tLe judgment. As companions they aft the most agreeable of mankind, But danger and disappointment attend the man who, confiding intheir promiees and energy, ventures upon a difficult enterdrise.
