Tho acting Secretary ol t : this J^nta of Assessors was one Don Joseph i | (Jasper Lodrigucs do Francia?the life and soul of the Administration. Iji 1814 Francia succeeded in getting himself nominated , Dictator for three years, and twenty-foui months afterwards he was confirmed as Dictator for life. Then commenced that wonderful insulation from the rest of the world j which hus astonished every one, while it ! has elicited the approbation of a few. Among the latter is Mr. Carlylc, who has written one of his most characteristic essays on Dr. Francia. Francia proved himself a most unscrtipiti lous tyrant. Ho filled tho^ i,prisons with j those whom he suspected of being opposed j lo him ; lie meted out, torture, banishment I and death, with no sparing hand. He I nearly exterminated the old Spaniards and ! tlih clergy, and arrogated to himself all the i powers of the I'ope. Ho almost annihilated thc.eomniorce of I t # .

The suspension of foreign trade had, however, the useful result of making the inhabitants, who depended too much upon the spontaneous productions of the forests, (tim ! ocr ana matcT) ami ot their loving herds, ! turn llieir attention to agriculture and other industrious pursuits. In 1820, the ravages of the locusts destroyed the growing hold*. The Dictator "ordered the people lo sow a second crop. The result was a double crop, to the sur; oj-ise of lliQ old farmers, who never drcampl ! of such a thing in (lie samejear. Bui an end was put to. this state of affairs by the death of Frantfia in 1840. He was eighty-five years of age, and for nearly thirty years of ago, and for uoftrly thirty ycarsiiad ruled over Parnguay1 with tin iron hand. seven or eight hundred persons wore in (.lie prisons at "the time of 'Lis death?some of whom had been loaded >vjth irons for twonly years, without knowing the cause of thoir afrgst; and a list of fifty persons ba shot was. found among his gapers*, 'l'ho ActiTary of llie Dictator kept the knowledge of Francia's death secret for several hours, and then r communicated with some of the officers iff Assumption.
