It has been known for fame time, that General B FFFFF ORD and Sir Host■ Pormass had proceeded from the Cape of Good Hope, againtt Buenos Ayres. At a late hour IA night Captain Doan ILLY of the /slaactssus frigate, which arrived yeflerday at Spit head, reached town with the agreeable intelligence, that our brave countrymen had fucceeded in the oh. jell of their expedition. The place was taken on the 28th of jusse, with very little loft on our part.— The particulars will loon be given to the public on official authority. The lquadron failed from St. Helena early in May. The Spanifb Governor had received information that an attack was projefted by a detachment from the Cape, and had made every preparation in his power to refill it, to that the exploit is the more creditable to the Britifh arms. Buenos A) les is fituated on the celebrated Rio de la Plata, and i► the capital of the province of that name, upon the eat} coati. of South America. The province embraces all that country lying between 'Tucuman on the tall, Pataguay on the north, and Terra Magellanica on the fond). The country i► watered by the great river La Plata ; frit difcovered in Ists by Juror DIAZ DA SOLIS. It was partly rub dued by SiIASTIAN Gavoro, who gave the name of La Plata to the river, from the abundance of the precious metals he there obtained from the inhabi• tants, fuppoling them to he the produce of that coun try, though in fall they were brought firm Peru. This country is perhaps the fined in the world, and abounds In much in horned cattle and honks, that they are killed merely for their tallow and bides. Great va rieties of fith ate here in the fame abundance. The 'fruits produced by every quarter of the globe grow here in the utionik perfeainn; and for the purples of commerce it is hardly poffible to conceive any calm try better adapted. The City of Buenos Ayres yeas founded in the year 1535, and 'lands on a point called Cape Blanco . , on the South•fide of the Plata, about 5o miles from its mouth. The fituation is in a fine plain, riling by a gentle afcent from the river ; and truly paradifaical, whether we regard the temperature of the climate, the fertility of the foil, or that beaurful verdure which at/tape-ads the whole face of the country, of which the inhabitants have a prapeet as far as the eye can reach. The city is very confiderable in ex tent, containing three thoufand honks, inha!tited by Spaniards and others of different complexions. The flreets ate fitaight, broad, and pretty equal in the heights and dimenfions of the buildings; one very handfotne fquare adorns it, the front being a caft!e, in which the Governor holds his court, and ptefides over a gat t ifon of poo foldicts. Mat of the build ings ate of chalk or blick, except tie cathedral, magnificent artletUre, compofed chic Hy of Dune. A letter from Hamhurgh, bythe Mail of yenerdayr contains the 6 , lluwing paragraph : " A grange report, Paid tb be founded on private ktters from Paris, is circulated to -clay, that M. Cham• pagny has made, in the Senate, a moil fevere and bitter fpeech again& Bonaparte, his ambition, hi. continually exciting new wars, purely for the aggran dizement of himfelf and family, to the ruin of French indullry and commerce, his tyranny, &c. in the Ryle of a Mails Member of Parliament, but wholly im• I probable from Champagny or any other in the Fuca fervice." On the authority of other letters it was reported yelterdey, that an adjunment of the differences be. tween France and Priam had taken place.. In cor. firrnatinn of this, it was alto Road, on the autho. rity of a Gentlemen arrived from the Contin e nt, that Gencr.l LLUCII Lit had rent an official letter, dated 3d September, pa the Chief Magillrate in the diltrift of Eaft Friefiand, infirming him that he had received intelligence by an ewers from B e rlin, that the differences bejsteen France and Praia were amicably adjußed. and that he would in conic quence return the finites which he had been obliged to borers is that neiihbouthood.9 k is net Ram! how, or where, this •ery tudden, though Certainly not impoltble, reconciliation was rffeeed. We are not told whether the anode ifooneralilv was made by Laroarsr at Berlin, or Loco! ssini at Paris.— But there is one circumilance which leads us to think this intelligence is premature, at leak if not 'bro. lutely unfounded. General Krioacesnoar, who re places Lucc mato i at the Court of the Thuillerin, did not deliver his credentials until the ytli ia j faro, and it is he, we believe, who is charged to remonarate and negotiate with the French Govermnant on the fuhjeil of B 's demands upon the Court of BC lia. THE ARMY. On account of the very unfavourable late of the weather, She grand review at Pnrtfdown Hill was deferred from Wednefday till Thurfday lel On Wednefday his RoystheHighnefs the Duke of Core. , with a party of his friends, were fplendidly entertained by Sir GEORG. I'atvnsr, Bart. the Lien tenant Governor of Portfmouth ; the Royal Duke Beeped at Sir Genius's houfe on Wednefday. Oa Thurfday morning, attended by Sir Gsnacie Pa■- TosT, Sir TIIOIII4IB Drat, Major Generals WARD and EveLsrom, Admirals MONTACVI and Maims, he reviewed the aoth regiment, two brigades of artillery, and three brigades of infantry on Pnrtfdown Hill, where there was a confiderable allemblage of the La dies and Gentlemen of the neighbouring country. Colonel 'densest got much credit for the appear. ante of his fine regiment, the 4oth ; as did Baron De ROTTLaBURO, for the sth battalion of the 6ctb; however, nothing could equal the appearance which the three excellent regiments of Militia made. The Duke and his party went from the field to Wu - eche/ler to disc with Mr. SILVIA, the Mayor. We arc convinced that not only our military, but readers of every clefs, would be delighted to fee by the lag Gazette, a Br hill regiment conferred on that brave and molt able Officer, Sir Jour' STVART— we hope higher as well as more fubtiantial ho nours await him. General STAIIWI z, of the Guards, has got the regiment which Sir Joss* railed, viz. the Q4een's Germans. On the hero of Maida too many honours cannot he heaped. We may he proudly confident, when we know that we have feveral he -100 who rank with even the her.. of Maida, ♦iz.

The sd battalion of the Stb, or King's Regimen., ctsmmanded by Lieutenant Colonel Young, which was fume time at Berwick, will be one of the fit ft fur Ireland.
