About The Southern Star

The Southern Star, also known in Spanish as La Estrella del Sur was a weekly bilingual British propaganda newspaper edited in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1807. It was the first newspaper edited in the city, but it only lasted for a couple of months, while Montevideo was under British occupation during the second British invasions of the Río de la Plata. The newspaper, a private business sponsored by the British Army, was used to promote free trade and loyalty to the British Crown. The chief editor was, according to most authors, General John Whitelocke's aide Thomas Bradford. The translator was Manuel Aniceto Padilla, a journalist from Upper Peru and sibling-in-law of future female guerrilla leader of the Independence War, Juana Azurduy. Padilla fled to Britain after the British debacle. Padilla came back to Buenos Aires after the May Revolution.
