On April 11th he issued the Mercedes Proclamation assuming control of the revolution and head of battle.
The Governor of Montevideo appointed Jose Posadas as the head of the forces loyal to Spain. Posadas installed his HQ at San Isidro Labrador de las Piedras near Montevideo to provoke a decisive battle against the revolutionaries. Meanwhile Jose Artigas was camped at Nuestra Senora de Guadaloupe with an Army of 1000 men. Posadas counted about 1230 of which 200 defected during battle. The battle was a total victory for the revolutionaries.

Ended a debate between Senators Daniel Webster of Massachusetts and Robert Hayne of South Carolina.
Daniel Webster won the day, but with hindsight, modern citizens may side with Hayne.
Hayne re-enforced the idea of a confederation while Webster defended the idea of a federation.
In a confederacy the people may overcome tyrants quicker than in a federation, for in THAT condition, do the words of the Unites States constitution have TEETH. #AntiFederalistPaper9 http://resources.utulsa.edu/law/classes/rice/Constitutional/AntiFederalist/09.htm "We [the Aristocratic party of the United States,] do not much like that sturdy privilege of the people -- the right to demand the writ of habeas corpus. We have therefore reserved the power of refusing it in cases of rebellion, and you know we are the judges of what is rebellion...."
