This issue features a travel narrative about the experiences of a Frenchman, M. Forgues, as he embarks on a journey from Buenos Ayres up the Paraná River into Paraguay. The content reflects on themes of exploration, colonialism, and the impact of weather on travel, while portraying the landscape and culture of the time. The opening of the magazine introduces the reader to the dreary conditions of Buenos Ayres during the rainy season, detailing how the foreign populace struggles with the dampness and confinement. M. Forgues expresses his eagerness to escape this oppressive weather by accepting a commission to collect a debt in Paraguay. The narrative then transitions into a vivid description of the landscape along the Paraná River, highlighting its natural beauty, historical significance, and the contemporary struggles of the local populations post-war. Forgues's journey sets the stage for a contemplation on the disastrous consequences of war and the allure of distant lands.
