Language: English. Brand new Book. Excerpt from Amalia: A Romance of the Argentine Nor were the political enemies of Rosas, in Buenos Ayres, the only Victims of his sanguinary policy. More than one sudden death among the Federal leaders before he finally became chief of the party was rightly, it is be lieved, attributed to him; and foreign residents were so frequently the objects of his persecution as to draw forth repeated remonstrances from England and France. His policy was one of isolation for the Republic, this policy extending even to its commercial relations with other countries; and for the country itself of retrogression and ignorance. Freedom of speech was interdicted, individual rights were disregarded; and so characteristic of Federal ism (in consonance with the tastes of Rosas who, although of noble family, had little culture or breeding), was a con tempt for the amenities of life that a regard for these came to be considered a distinctive mark of Unitarianism. This despotic rule of Rosas had continued for a little more than five years when the opening events of the Romance take place, Rosas having been Since his assump tion of power not only practically Dictator of the Province of Buenos Ayres, but practically also arbiter of the destinies of the whole Argentine Republic, the other provinces, most of which he had brought under his control, whether by force, fraud or guile, acknowledging tacitly the supremacy of Buenos Ayres. Ambitious of exercising a like control over Uruguay, and eager to gratify his hatred of Rivera, the successor of Oribe, the exiled President of the latter country, for the favor shown the Unitarian refugees in Montevideo, he had, in July, 1839, invaded the territory of that Republic with an army of 7000 men. The defeat of this army and the invasion of Buenos Ayres by the Unitarian chief, Lavalle, which followed, seemed to hold out ahope to the Unitarians of happier days for their coun try through the downfall of the tyrant. But this hope was for the time and for years to come, destined to prove illu sory. General Lavalle was defeated; the Unitarian chiefs of the interior were relentlessly persecuted and a price was set on their heads; and General Oribe, at the head of men, again invaded Uruguay and laid Siege to Montevideo. But the tide Slowly turned. France and England intervened in favor of Uruguay. The French "eet, which had more or less continuously blockaded Buenos Ayres, since 1838, was joined by the English "eet, and both "eets combined began the blockade of Buenos Ayres, on September 18, 1845. The Siege of Montevideo, however, _was still main tained and Rosas refused to accede _to the terms of the allies. The treaty of peace which he'finally concluded with them, in November, 1849, by its favorable terms to the Dictator, in the end brought about the overthrow of Rosas.
