J.B. to Arei Guatemala

Since the arrival of that letter, Time has not admitted of my receiving any information
of concerning the state of affairs in Guatemala, otherwise than at
second hand. According to what I have heard in this way,
at the departure of the last advisors than some disagreements and correspondent
parting division had taken place there, between and two parties had
in which the lead been formed in which a leading part was taken by yourself, Sir, on one side
and by Mr Del Valle on the other. In this state of things there
is nothing by which any the least dist can influence upon any
body:[+]
[+] nothing that any body
is likely to be
when that any body
needs scruple to avoid.
In a republic more especially it is naturally in
a greater or less degree unavoidable: and so as it proceeds not to violence even
beneficent. At Stranger as I am, and at my distance from
the scene of action nothing could on my part be more
than the idea of supposing myself competent to form any
judgment respecting comparative merits, as between the one and the
other. With undiscriminating ardor and sincerity my
good wishes and consequent endearances embrace both, be
the nature of the case such ardor can not altogether
clear of anxiety, lest whatever disagreement, if any, that
actually has place, the service of the country should, in one shape or other at
so critical a time receive in one or any other critical a period receive detriment:
and, in particular, by preventing you from lessening the cordiality
and good effect of your endeavours on both sides
for the forwarding the preeminently important work, in which
I have thus been involved in my humble sphere I have thus been called upon to participate. in so far.
As one example, to shew how compatible exception
is on some points is with was the most decided difference and strenuous
opposition on others, I will hazard a few words, for the proper in the endeavour
of giving to convey to you some conception of the situation in which I myself, who have no power whatever official power whatever In my
stand, with relation to those, by whom the whole of it is
possessed and exercised.
