To General Sr Martin
3 3
So much for Chile.
Unhappily, different in no small small degree from this
any such cheering complexion, are the reports I have as yet come to hand
relation to yourself, Sir, and through the same channels the "Protector" the only self-declared Protector of Peru.
In Peru Protector (say these reports) means not — Dictator but Emperor.
Amidst such contrarities, you will not I am
<gap/> destitute as in this country we are of sufficient as yet of any thing like
grounded judgment, you information adequate to the purpose of forming any thing like a correct
judgment, you will I am confident, Sir, neither be surprized nor displeased
with any of us who should confess to you that
altogether at a loss
we regard ourselves unable to form any judgment in which, upon acc, practice
could be grounded reasonably be grounded.
Under this difficulty a test test or criterion presents itself which —
not to me alone, but to those many who think with me =
and I can venture to say there are among them those
whose judgment would not be a matter of indifference to
you — would be not an in one.
In company with this letter you will if my
request be successful view in print a paper intitled "Codification Proposal"
(In Spanish Propuesta de Codigo) "addressed to all natives
"professing liberal opinions", and already received with
unexampled master of approbation by the Constituted
authorities in several of them The greatest happiness
of the greatest number is the fundamental principle, and
of this principle not only is general profession made
but at every turn taken on each occasion, the most particular application, made.
Added 6 June 1822
I was going on to shew that though
merit is the sort of merit to be of which a
distinction of this sort is applicable with in
there are other ways in which justice may in a much more effective seemly
manner be done to most the be.
