Biss Ayres has, in conseqoence, assumed a higher tone,. .end acquired a controlling influence, which she has sometimes abased. Aeatber cease of discontent is the unfortunate &Mete between the Banda Oriental and Buenos Ayres, which had also an influence on the proceed lags of the latter towards the Portuguese. " The original cause of division may be traced to a *doggy long subsisting, between the rival cities of Moots Video and Buenos Ayres. This has become habitual, and has extended to the country. Private Wombs mid personal views have also increased their llama eat. • destroyed the great source of overuse to the State, the deties on imports and tonnage, at a Meson when money was mach wanted. " For about this period, Buenos Ayres had a powerful army to contend with on the side of Peru, and had taken the burden of the renewed contest of Chili with Spain. Ueder such circumstances, they were in some measure obliged to adopt a caotioes end moderate policy. Their conduct in this respect scenes to have been coerced. Their unhappy state with the Orientals had also an influence on their measures; they alleged that the restless conduct of Artigas bed furnished the Porttigoese a pretest for the invasion ; but it is probable that they Mill ultimately break with the Government of Bratils. " The British Government hes, through their official agents, metered late zoisseircialetipolations with General Astigas, us the Chief of the Orisatels, on the subject of tbeit trade with the eastern shore. A copy of this instrument will be found in Appen. di: K.

They have hitherto, avoided the issuing of paper money, Ind they have established no bank ; but they have 801110111114, anti cipeted their revenue by giving dee bills receivable isr payment for deties on goods imported, or . articles ex. ported : the impost furnishes the principal part of the retain. A copy of their tariff, as at first establish. id, was sometime since transmitted, I believe, to tb• Department of State; in this the doilies were gene rally specific and high. I endertand they have been lately reduced, as their ezorbitancy bed occasioned mach smuggling. 44- Voltreehry contributions from those friendly to the Revolution, and forced loans from the old Spa. Wards, have constitute another portion of their fonds. To show the public capital adequate to all exigences, their different civil, military, and meal establishments have been taken into view, and are comprised in the estimate furnished, a thing unusual with ea; bat they have omitted their public lands, which if a prudeot use be made of theta, mutt, at no dimwit day, become a very productive source of re seise to the State. • "The misses of Potosi, which, in all probability, will very soon fall into their hands again, may furnish them with a considerable supply of the precious me tals. It is stated, on respectable authority, that so late as the year 1790, the amount of gold and silver coined at Potosi in that year, was calcolated to have been 299,846 dollars in gold, and 2,933,178 dollars in silver. The state of their army, and the condition of their navy, will be seen by a reference to the or'. ginal cetera presented. , —(Appendtz F. 4) "Their army is composed of regular troops, Cior• cos, and militia. la one or other of these classes, they are educated to the military art--and, as far as I had an opportunity, and was capable of jodging, they apposr to be well acquainted with the elements of their profession. Their forces, according to the paper furnished, are estimated at nearly thirty thee. sand men. They are composed of 1298 artillery. 13,693 infantry, and 14.718 cavalry; of whick 12,143 are troops of the Roe, 7041 are Clorcos, aid 10,673 militia.—These form the different armies the centre of Pero, of the Andes, of Cordon, and the auxiliary forces in the Entre Rios. TMs amt . anent, however, only includes the militia of the pro. Noce of • Beemstrityeett *AK Timis...R.or and munitions of war is ample, as will be seat by the statement annexed, on that subject. 44 Their navy is small, and some of their vessels are laid up in ordinary. A list of them, as well as of their privateers, wilt be found in Appendix F.— Their private armed vessels are subjected to very strict regulations, agreeably to their Prize Cade, which is among the original papers presented end herewith delivered. It may be proper, in this plate, to introduce the subject of the irregular conduct of the privateers under the Patriot flag, against which the Commissioners were directed to remonstrate. — flawing taken au opportunity of explaining to Mr. Tagle, the Secretary of state, the proceedings of oor Government relative to Amelia Island end Gslveztoo, agreeably to their instructions, the Commissioners embraced a suitable occasion to urge the just cause of complaint, which the mal.practices of private armed vessels, wearing the Patriot colours, bad furnishod our Government ; on both topics they had long and interesting conversations. With the (conduct of the Government respecting Amelia Island and Galvezton, Mr. Tagle expressed himself per. featly satisfied, and he disclaimed for his Govern ' went any privity or participation in the lodgments made at those places, by persons acting iu the name of the Patriots of South America. " In reference to the acts of cruisers under the Patriot flag, be said he was sensible that great irre. gularities had occurred, thoegh his Government had done every thing in their power to prevent them, and were willing, if any instance of aggressions were paint ed out, to direct an enquiry into the case, and if the facts were established, to punish those concerned, and redress the injured individuals. Ile professed his readiness to adopt any measures that would more effectually prevent a recurrence dutch acts, in which he expressed his belief that the privateers of Beams Ayres had rarely participated, thoegh the character of the Government had suffered from the conduct of others. Ile stated that they had, on one occasion, sent out some of their public vessels to examine all cruisers wearing the Buenos Ayreen flag, to see that they were lawfully commissioned, and to ascertain whether they had violated their instructions. " Amongst the causes of dissatisfaction, to which I have alluded, the preponderance of the capital has been mentioned. Its great weight in the scale of national affairs is to be ascribed to its greater exer. lions in the national cause. These are owing to its comparative wealth, and to its active, intelligent, and enterprising population. The armies that have been raised in this city and the neighbouring coun. try, with the supplies in money and munitions o f war drawn from these sources, have been truly ex traordinary. It would be a difficult task to make an exact cal culation, or to form even a prob thle estimate, but all seemed to concede the superior merit claimed on ac count of their exertions, when compared with their wealth end population, and it is not unlikely that • Lic docutueut refigred to is not scut. “ General Artigas (who bears the character of Chilies( the Orientals, as has been already stated, sad has also assumed that of Protector of Entre Rios and Santa Fe), was originally in the Royal service, a Captain in a Provincial Corps. In this he con. Unveil for some time after the Revirletion had tem awed at Buenos Apes. Bat, in the year 11311, ii, as it is maid, at some conduct of the Ceiweendent of Colonis, be abandoned the litoyiltaese, and entered into the service of the Ps. Mom So early as the year 1813, when acting ,mgoirsst Monte Video, he became dissatisfied with Sarrehmitbe Commander in Chief from Buenos Ayres. On his removal from the head of the army, he quer. nlled with General Rondos°, who, it was 'append” Redid have been acceptablego him, end finally with. eel, bef6re the siege of Monte Video was finished Wager Geo. Alfeer. For this conduct, Fonda., *ben he succeeded to the Government, treated him as a deserter from their service. By a Proclamation, be offered a reward for his apprehension, and set a price upon his head—an act which Gen. Arligas Deter forgot or forgive. " Doting the subsequent Directorship of Alveari he Induced the Cabildo of Buenos Ayres to issue a similar Proclamation against General Artigas. When Alyea was dismissed, the People of Buenos Ayres endearoared to atone for their conflict, by burning, with every mark of Ignominy, the degrading Prods. mation. They also addressed a cencilittory letter to fhe General, and received from him a corresponding answer. These were preliminary to a fruitless de tempt at reconciliation, made by the Director ad interim, Colonel Alnres, Who succeeded Alvesr.. The correspondence on this occasion is snorted (Appendix li.).—Other endeavours to reconcile Mil lave failed, notwithstanding the chanties in the office 'of Director at Buenos Ayres. On one occasion, the 'proposition was made, that the Banda Oriental *mad remain ludepeodetic of Buenos Ayres, and loosely send Deputies to the General Congress, to Wissitert measures against the Mammon enemy. Oe smother, then the Portuguese army was approach. lug the frontiers of the Banda Oriental, an attempt Alloado lilt l'isisyrredoe 4,-,secescils him, and unite hiss in the common defence. Ample supplies of arms and munhins of Mar were Offered, and some fur nished ; but this attempt also failed. " In order that a feller view of this subject may be had, I have subjoined a translated copy of an std. mated letter from Geo. Artigas to M. Puoyercedon (Appendix I.) It is bat justice to add, that Gen. Artigas is thought, by persons entitled to credit, to be a firm friend to the independence of the country. To express a decided opinion on this delicate question would scarcely beespected of me, as my position did not command a view of the whole ground. I had nct the satisfaction to be derived from a personal interview with General Artigas,who is, unquestionably, a man of rare and singular talents. But if I were to hazard a conjecture, I think it not improbable that in this, as in most family disputes, there have been faults ou both sides. It is to be lamented they are in open hostility. The war has been prosecuted with great animosity : and, in two late engagements, the troops of ISeiruos Ayres have been defeated with great loss. By some it was said, that the inhabitants of the east ern shore were elision that a reconcilasion should take place, whilst the people in the country preferred their present state. " I must not omit to take a glance at the situation of Paraguay. This province presents a singular spectacle. It stands aloof from the rest. The Peo. pie, with the aid of the few remaining royal troops, rope zed an army, sent to compel them to join the common st a tularA. Very soon afterwards they es pelted the Royalists, and set up for themselves.— Sinew ibis period, they appear in have adopted a par tial woo..intercoerse system. But Buenos Ayres, on one occasion, succeeded in obtaining an understand ing with them. Some ,suspect, that they are secretly innikel to the existing order of things and wish Mk, keeittlesesseTves witbie their shell, that in case of a chaste, they may profit by future events; others Me •rnelate with some confidence on their ultimate seise with Buenos Ayres, with which, at present; they In. dolge a limited and reluctant intercourse. Paraguay is ender the immediate controul of a person named Francis, who styles himself Director of Paraguay. " From the domestic concerns of the provinces, we naturally turn to their foreign relations. On this subject the Commissioners were informed that they had nothing more than a friendly understanding with any foreign nation. With the Portuguese Govern meat they concloded ati arrangement in 1812, under the mediation, it is said, of the British, with respect to the Banda Oriental. They have since had a coe. respondence with them ou the subject of their ea. trance into that Province, and the forcible occops. tine by the Portuguese army of the city of Monte Video, of which a copy is annexed. (Appendix 1.) This will present the stale of affairs between Buenos Apes end the Brazils, which has been the theme of moth discussion. The superior naval force of the Portuguese, stationed in the River Li Plata, could have effectually ,Olockaded all the ports of Buenos Ayres. By this means they would have prevented Supplies cf trail sulA t ens of war, end entirely • AMERICAN PAPERS. ' , J [FROM THE earmuoat PAPERS.] HOUSE OF REPREBHSTATIVF:I3, Nov. 26.
