Jaid before the president a long and very interest ing report upon the subject of his late mission to the Rio de La Plata, accompanied by a very able note advocating the justice and expediency of acknowledging the independence of the United Provinces of La Plata. In adopting this manly course Mr. Rodney has realized the expectations of his friends, and met the wishes of a large majority of the nation. He now stands before the country as an open, honorable and consistent statesman, and a firm, undeviating advocate of the rights of man. -Disdaining to 'palter in a double sense,' when great and important interests are at stake, he has advocated, with sincerity, a measure sanctioned by the dictates of his judgment and the feelings of his heart. In so doing we repeat our belief, that he will be supported by the suffrages of the nation, whose generous feeling in favor of the patriot cause, will derive additional force from the sanction conferred upon it by the able report to which we have referred.

But it is time to speak of the inhabitants of the city, and of the people who frequent it. And here, whether illusion, or reality. I shall not take upon me to say, but certain it is, I had not walked far, before I felt myself IN A LAND OF FREEDOM There was an independence, and ingenuousness in the carriage, and an expression in the countenances of those I met, which reminded me of my own country; an air of freedom breathed about them, which I shall not attempt to describe. All I can say, is, that I felt the force of that beautiful thought of Moore, in his Lalla Rookh; --who, with heart and eyes I had no sooner been comfortably settled in my Jodgings, than I felt impatient to take a stroll through the town. The streets are straight, and regular, like those of Montevideo, a few of them are paved, but hollow in the middle. The houses are pretty generally two stories high, with flat roofs, and for the most part, plaistered on the out side; which, without doubt, at first, improved their ap pearance, but by time and neglect, they have become somewhat shabby. There are no elegant rows of buildings as in Philadelphia, or New York, but many are spacious, and all take up much more ground than with us. The reason of this, is, that they have large open courts or varandas both in front and rear, which are called patios. These patios, are not unlike our yards enclosed by a wall or railing; their dwellings for the most part, properly. compose three connected buildings, forming as many sides of a square; the wall of the adjoining house making up the fourth. In the centre of the font building there is a gate-way, and the rooms on either hand as we enter, are in general, occu pied as places of business, or merchants' compting I saw nothing but the plainness and simplicity of rooms; the rear building, is usually the dining of republicanism; in the streets there were none but room, while that on the left, or the right, (as it may plain citizens, and citizen soldiers; some of the happen,) is the sitting room or parlor. The patio, latter, perhaps, shewing a little of the coxcomb, is usually paved with brick, and sometimes with and others exhibiting rather a militia appearance, not marble, and is a cool and delightful place. Grape the less agreeable to me on that account. In fact, I vines are planted round the walls, and at this sea could almost have fancied myself in one of our own son, are loaded with their fruit. The houses have towns, judging by the dress and appearance of the as little wood as possible about them; both the people whom I met. Nothing can be more differfirst and second floor, having brick pavements;ent than the population of this place, from that of fire engines are therefore unknown, together with that uneasiness from this angry element when once master, so much felt in our cities. There are no chimmies, but those of kitchens. At all the windows there is a light iron gratng, which projects about one foot; probably a remnant of Spanish jealousy. The compactness of the town, the flatness of the roofs, the incombustibility of the houses, the open court yards which resemble the area of forts, and the iron gratings, constitute a complete fortification, and I do no know a worse situation in which an enemy could be than in one of these streets. It is not surprising that a city so well fortified,should have so effè cically resisted the army of twelve thousand men under gen, Whitelock. The only mode by which it could be assailed, would be by first obtaining a complete command of the country around it, and of the river in front. This would require a greater effort than Spain can make, even if she were to abandon all her other colonies, and unite for the special purpose, all the forces she is able to spare out of her Spanish dominions. Rio. I saw no one bearing the insignia of nobility, except an old crazy man, followed by a train of rogueish boys. There were no palanquins, or rattling equipages; in these matters there was much less luxury and splendor, than with us. The females, instead of being immured by jealousy, are permitted to walk abroad and breathe the air. The supreme director, has no grooms, gentlemen of the bed cliamber, nor any of the train which appertairs to royalty, nor has his wife any maids of honor; his household is much more plain than most of the pri Vate gentlemen of fortune in our own country; it is true, when he rides out to his country seat, thirty miles off, he is accompanied by half a dozen horsemen, perhaps a necessary precaution considering the times, and which may be dispensed with on the return of peace; or perhaps, a remnant of anti-republican barbarity which will be purged away by the sun of a more enlightened age; indeed, I am. informed, that the present director, lives in a style of much greater simplicity than any of his prede cessors. But little attention is paid the cleanliness of the If I was to stop here, however, I should not give streets; in one of the front streets, where there was a faithful picture of the appearance to a stranger, no pavement, I observed several deep mud holes; of the population of Buenos Ayres; the mixture of into these, dead cats and dogs are sometimes negroes and mulattoes, is by no means remarkable, thrown, from too much indolence to carry them not as great, perhaps, as in Baltimore, and the pro out of the way.

As I moved along towards the great square, a part of which is the principal market place (immediately in front of the castle, or government house) there appeared to be a great throng of people.
