EXTRAORDINARY GilzErn: OF BUENOS AIRES. SATOtUAY, AUGUS r ii. We have received dispatches from the Expedit:on to the interior provinces, and hasten to communicate their contents to the Public. The rapid and happy. effect it has produced is an ample reward for the' fatigues of Government, and it is the duty of every good citizen to pay due homage to those tried patriots , who purcfrisc the glory and happiness of their. vountry. by every privation that can consecrate it. The incle mency of the weather, the badness of the roads, the rigour of discipline, the fatigues of marching, are the daily tributes they offer to their country ; and the sin cerity of their intentions present for the first time men who despise toils, and embrace a perilous career, not to, make towns groan under • devastation and death, but to carry to them the olive of peace, and secure to them happiness by the unalterable bonds of fraternity. " 'Excellent Sir—ln-the night of the Ist instant, I sent a letter to your Excellency by the post, commu nicating the unfortunate news of the flight from Cor dova, they day before at twelve o'clock, of all those persons who oppressed it. I did not doubt for a mo ment that it was necessary to pursue them with all haste, and for this prirpose a party of three hundred cavalry and infantry, mounted on the only horses which were serviceable, were got ready without delay carrying with them 4 pieces of artillery. 4'. Major-General Don Antonio Balcarcel, on the evening of that day, placed himself at the head of his troops, who seemed delighted with the enterprise, and marched away, receiving the vivas and acclama tions of the army, who, jealous of the glory which awaited their 'companions, manifested by their looks the wonderful contrast of pain and pleasure. " Almost from this moment, Excellent Sir, I flat ter myself with the triumph of our arms ; if not completely so, at least the most important part that has presented itself to this auxiliary army. The ex tended march of the fugitives ; the hatred of their purshers ; the indifferent condition of their horses ; their cumbersome artillery and baggage; 4ndlastly,to pass through towns so inseparably united to the sacred cause which your Excellency nobly defends, together with the enety and firmness of the Major-General who pursues them, ought from this moment to fill your Excellency's superior mind with the greatest hopes tit success. 44 The wretches, not content with having seized on the King's treasure, and destroyed the provisions of the t0....•n5, meditated als-a the plunder of the com merce which was upon its road to the capital ) and to accomplish it with impunity, ordered the conductor to return with the carts, which were already on this side of the city, that they might go to Jujuy.; but the rapid march of the Major:General will no doubt place the commerce of Buenos Ayres beyond the reach of insult, which has no such example since its first po pulatior..—l hope your Excellency will approve of the measures which I have taken, and which appeared to me to be the most effectual for the King's service, and the fulfilment of that important service which the magnanimity of your Excellency was condescending enough to enu•ust in such weak hands.

The patriotic flame communicates itself with the rapidity of lightning, and passes over mountains co vered with snow without losing Ohy of its force.— The opulent kingdom of Chili has given the first step towards recovering its most sacred r:ghts. Despotism thought to fix itself by striking a terrible blow against three worthy. inhabitants ; but the good patriot( seiz ed fmm its hands the triumph which it was about to proclaim with impudence—but a valiant patriot was placed at the head of the kingdom, reconciling the ruin from an unlawful hand with the mast complete security' of the august rights of our beloved Monarch. It is with pleasure we communicate to the Public the %following Dispatch, sent by ,the Commandant of endoza, and which has been confirmed through other channels . cs ExcE4TAT the time of the departure of ?eople , the Presidmt's deposition, and tlie'Vabildo calling to thi'Ministitit of tie R eal l Audiencia, a long consultation ensnO, ist welch it was determined to depose the Plesizt,:itt, arid to .1). point in his place Count de Mateo T oro , an cant of that city ; the President not bein g a bl e to ie. sist, notwithstanding be had his own party, was the 17th lodged in the Mint, wher e b e was allotted an apartment, lie left it on Wednesdop/ Ole itith, for this town, where he arrived on the morning of %I A 25th at day-break. " The traitor Ramon Pino, after having acknow. !edged the Junta, and sworn obedience to it, bloke his solemn oath. Cowardice precipitated hill into an ignominious intrigue, and having Monte Video so mar at hand, he acknowledged its Government, and plated himself under the safeguard of 130 men, by which act he secures the impunity 9f his crime." The General of the expedition against Cordova, has sent to the Junta the following official letter : EXCELLIKT We have just learned from Don Faustino Allende, and by the letter of Dee Ambrosio Funes, that yesterday at twelve o'clock the Governor Concha, Senor Liniers, the Bishop,Colonel Allende, Dors Vitorino Rodriguee, and the Officer Royal . lvlorens, left Cordova taking the road to Peru, carrying with them nine pieces of flying artillery, of the calibre of 4,6;aml 8, from 3 to 400 men armed, and although all this force it is believed could be de. sreoyed with 300 men of this army, as we are defi cient in horses, and we cannot,even nuking the great est efforts, regularly mount that numLer ; ant as, by dividing our forces, h might be dangetous in case of an action, we have determined upon the immediate advance of the whole army, ordering from Cortlota 300 men to pursue them, which with thebelp offered by that city, they may be overtaken before their arrival at Santiago del Estero or Tucutiati.-0a the other hand, the distance they have to go is veur long, the roads so bad, and the assistance they cast expect so small, that h.tving deliberately weighed all the circumstances, we determined on the above project. 44 I communicate tl:is information to your Esrel. lency, as well that your Excellency may be accoaint• ed of this unlucky and fatal accident, as also that it might happen that those fugitives should take t h e road of Parana, where perhaps they may have vessels waiting to carry them to Monte Video. " Your Excellency may rest assured that measures are.taken from this moment to prevent their entering by way of Peru, where they might commit the scan excesses as in Cordova, causing inexpressible evils, which are inseparable from. their corrupt views.

My Lords, I have to state to your Lordships, and I do it with the greatest concern and regret, that in consequence of his Majesty's personal indisposaice, that Commission has qot received his Majesty's sit nature. There may be a question, whether the cellor is authorised to put the &eat Seal to such a Commission, without the King's Sign Manual--nni whether such Commission would be legal ? but npee this question, looking to the Precedents in our pro ceedings, and to the Records of Parliament, I do not think it proper to eater into any discussion. Undo' the circumstances of his Majesty's indisposition, I have thought it my duty to abstein from peoffet:ng the Commission to kis Majesty for hi.. ro) al sign*. cure. It is, therefore, for your Lordships, in you wisdom, to determine what course of proceeding it will be expedient to adopt. It remains for me to state, that the indisposition of his Majesty bas arisen from the pressure of domestic affliction operatingupon his paternal Calings, and I have the satisfaction t add, that a confident expectation is entertained of his Majesty's speedy recovery.
