What the result of such a war would be no one can predict, but its first consequence would be another blockade of Buenos Ayres, by the Brazilian fleet, its next the reinforcement of the garrison of Monte Video by a detachment of Brazilian troops, and its probable final result, after the whole of the countries engaged in it had been thoroughly ruined, the establishment of the ascendancy either of the government of Buenos Ayres, or of that of Brazil at Monte Video. keywords: = =; buenos; buenos ayres; excellency; general; government; mandeville; monte; monte video; republic; river; rosas; uruguay; vidal cache: 33322.txt plain text: 33322.txt item: #2 of 5 id: 36534 author: Tetley, William C. title: Blanco y Colorado: Old Days among the Gauchos of Uruguay date: None words: 70475 flesch: 74 summary: Later, I fixed up my things in the bedroom joining the archway, in the corner of which latter I placed an old wool-bag I found lying about, for Napoleon to sleep on, and I too went to bed, asking the cook to be sure and call me in good time in the morning. I did not want to take a good-looking horse, for I knew the town would be full of soldiers, so I told Justiniano to have the horses in the corral in good time, and to catch me up rather an oldish bay, left by soldiers, nothing whatever to look at, but really a good deal better horse than he appeared, and also to tie up the rosillo in the courtyard, about eleven o'clock, so that he might be safer if anyone came. keywords: afternoon; bent; cattle; cerro; day; days; don; end; estancia; frederico; good; half; home; horse; inside; left; look; man; men; morning; native; night; o'clock; open; place; ride; riding; round; royd; sheep; soldiers; thought; time; water; way; work cache: 36534.txt plain text: 36534.txt item: #3 of 5 id: 42452 author: Koebel, W.
