In a political point of view, this country ^°""'"' presents a large field for speculation. A few years ago, there was but little inducement for any Englishman to explore the interior of these rich and fine colonies, as the British Government did not con- sider them worth holding at the peace of Amiens. Since that period their mother country has been blotted out from the list of nations, and America has unfolded a new sheet of politics. On one side, the crown of Braganza, attacked by an ambitious chieftain, has fled from the palace of its ancestors, and now seems fixed on the banks of the Janeiro. Cayenne has yielded to its arms. La Plata has raised the standard of indepen- dence, and thinks itself sufficiently strong to obtain a (Government of its own. On the other side, the Caraccas are in open revolt; and should Santa F^ join them in good earnest, they may form a powerful association. Thus, on each side of ci-devant Dutch Guiana, most tinexpected and astonishing changes have taken place.
