A combined attack upon the town would have been practicable and expedient. 1 think gun boats, and such armed vessels - of easy draught of aster, would have been of essential service in the attack, in co-operating with the army. Time gun boats, on the 4th of July, were got in near the town of Buenos Ayres, but not near enough to act ; boats were directed toaound during the day anti night, to endeavour to as the depth of water; awl Captain Thomson reported to one, that he ;Mo oed had sounded, and found the channel very 111- tricate, and the depth against the town fruu a:veit to eleven feet water, and in twice the teligth of the boat seven feet again ' so that vessels draw run mere water could hot be depended upo.e to act.-- Ott the. sth, he ha.l with difficulty got the gull brigs and gun-bouts in that situation above the town, to enable him •to move down the gun-bouts and two of the armed schooners, to as,:st the attack, if uecessary. That he lad on the ..;;;ti bran employed in landing provisions and spiiits for that part of the army commanded by Sir Samuel Ay:minty; that he lad likewise landed eni4et-balls; that the situation of that part of the army commanded by Sir Samuel Acinnuty, by their marching into the town, prevented lam then from n ia Litig *sea the gnu-limits, lest he should tire upon our own people; that tue next morning, four of the gun-boats were placed, and opened their tire in a situation that appeared likely to have affect, and andinued tiring till a teeter' was made. The boats Isere kept there at the time the truce was made ; mad, I think uutil the preliminaries were 'noted. 11VENTY-FIFTH i t. 3 cos. GEORVI AltlaltaT calkti in apart.

Captain Thompson of the Fly, come from the chore, audiufouned me he had been obliged to have a guard from head quarterc, to protect him to his boat, which guard was returned; it then being dark, and many of the recrny's horse see,, near the place of landing, it would fist be safe fur me to land that night, as beaG-operiers ware some little distauce from the shOre, and or) tuard on the beach. I therefore retuned to the itiereiiie, and went to the General the ut st morning. I found him at the Plaza del 'i auro7, at the top of one of the houses ; General Gower, Sir Samuel Achrouty, and General Luta lew, wtre there likewise. 3 be General informed x.e of the situation of the army, and the ansfor t 'Jeri chat had befallen it- that belled received the preliminaries of a treaty from the Stealth General Liniers, by obich the great point was agreed to, that of *tog; back ail our prisoners taken in lieutik.kaierica this war, which was a great object, and veltnoat whi..ii, according to his mairuetions, nothiog he could da would be complete; that hooter terms could Got ke poseared ; that. if the business vi eat on, he would expect every assist ance from me, which I assured him he should have ; he continued . to obseive that it would an weer or perpose to Ko on with it, as South Ame rica never could be conquered by the English, as we had not a friend hi - the country, which the in veteracy of all dosses against the English had proved. 1 told the General, before these terms should be agreed to, I thought he had better cou aid( with the General Others ul:on it. Ile told me be lied already their opinions, which was the same se hi., which was, that the terms should be signed. at 'wring n:r could answer no porpote, as he was assured front good authority, that if hostilities one renewed, the prisoners (meaning General 4:mantel's brigade) would be pot to death. I told the Generd duet he must know more of the :iota tam of his army and what he could de than I pos sibly could, but that I could not agree to these tenni', without first-consulting the next officer in command to roe, then at Buenos Ayres. Admiral :'''i:hrig being left in the coannand of the line oh bottle ships at Monte 's Oleo, Ca; ruin Bayritun, who was the next, and with me at Buenos Ayres, I immediately communicated with; he was then at the rep of the same house ; I told him what hu r l passed, and asked what his opiiiiou was as to the netarsesity of signing those terms. lie told me he thought Ji could not possibly do otherwise than sign them, for Cott time General must be the best judge of what Cie army could do ; thatif I did not ergo them, I must, of course, take all responsibility urea rayself, for any thing that might happen afterwards, although I could only have to do with the navy. General Gower then explained to me more fully the terms that were proposed, as they were written in Spanish, and on ackiag him if better tenni, could be procured, he said iiio ; that he had endeavoured to get bet ter, but the Spaniards would not hear of it : and Atilt it was e'en with very great difficulty that he had prevailed on them to let us keep Monte Video for tsvo mouths instead of one, which they had at Brat proposed. Under these circumstances, and believing that from the disposition of the inha bitants we shoul I not lie able to keep that country i o with the for c e then in it, I signed the treaty. Iron , rnos might have been furnished from. the ships, if they w ere required ; b u t 1 had. no a ppli ca ti on f or that purpose, nor did I know that they were want ed.

Co!suet Kington received the orders, and I neve heard them (rem hine--Ou the Gth of July, the pith dregoen guards, under the coin:need of Lieutenant Colonel King- ton, evacuated their centotimente at six in the morning. Some delay was occasioned, owing to Colonel iiitteton misting his way, and we did no. arrive in the rue ance to the city till seven, where we found twe troops of the nitt light dragoons. in whose charge were two field-pieces. Lieutenant Colonel Kitigton took the command of the whole of the troops mentioned, and entered the city, one of th e fi eld-pie ces i x Mg advanced in front of the column, the other left stationary, in the rear, with ' thirty men of the 6th dragoon guards, and an offi cer.

About the second square. Colonel Bradford, the Adjutant Getters!, cattle up with orders to Colonel Kington, with the purport of which I am not ac quainted. 11 hen we urrived at the fourth square, I think, but I cannot In. certain, whether it was the fourth, I uneceierin it was at least the fourth, the enemy's tire becaine more heavy and tiestcnc ' tiee than it bail berm at any former period.

Lieutenant Colonel Kingtme Ned Copteineßereell fall ; after which klejor Pi got, of the 9th Light bragoons, cause up to the head of the column, and finding it impossible to adrunce beyond the point, was reti eating to the right, sup posing the streets to be intersected at angles. I suggetated to him the propriety of our retrretieg to the rear, if *e retreated at all ; in consequence of which he pursued the hitter uretatire. At this period Captain Forster, General ‘Vhitelocke's mid de-camp, came to the retreating column, to whom I toesniunicuted our transactions he imturdietele reconnu ended our advanei it g rejoin to the first square. wh..ch 1 had represented to him, and there to take up a position in the houses; this being effected, Capt.

Co-, lonel Bradford then came to the post, which he expressed to me he conceived as termlne. We re tained that position two days." Captain FRAZLI/ again called in. Lieutenant-General W'hitelocke was in the Coy rani* de Miserere during the whole of the sth (ley, except for a very . ehort interval ; when, us .1 unite stood, his Excellency retired to Mr. White's house. for a very short interval, about two o'clock in the aftenionn. The Correllip de hlisereee is nuderstood to be shout SOO yards in length one way, and about 600 the other ; it is alto a term which applies te (pruner of lesenos Ayres; it is an uncertuin open space. His Excellency was at fi.rt oqhorediaisk, istiblequetaly dismounted, and remained nentily dismounted, during tle: r. unit mider and in general within 30 yards of the been the head-quarters of the second in onousiand. he immediate entrance into Buenos Ayres, at the distance of about 350 yards from the particular house which I bare last mentioned, tif at the im mediate end of the Corvallis de Miserere, is higier ground, so that you cannot see the s eotrance into the town, nor , excepting in such eu open space as the Conullis de Miserere, can you, in any part of the imbed*, see above 150 yams, owing to the in tersections of the squares, and the high hedges of the orchards. !new early part of the day, his Ex cellency sent forward* in the centre some of his personal stuff, to bring him infortuatiou of what was going on : towards the middle of the day, a communication was opened with the brigade on the left; the officer who opened that communication 1 think, returned between one and two °leek, mud its consequence of that communication from Sir Samuel Auchmuty, n smell party of the artillery men were sent to the Plaza del Taurus. I think that very soon after my joining bins, his Exeellency sent some of his staff, as 1 have already stated, into the centre : their orders, I ttt klerstood e geuerally were to hringinfonnation from that particular quer terofwhat was goi rig on. In several repeated instance... In the earlier part of the day. hi s Eacelleucy occa sionally ordered some of the dragoons, who were immediately about his person, to pursue some fu gitive horsemen. who were escaping from Beene' Ayres. With the exception of those pertieular orders which I have stated, his Excellency was walking backwards and foi werds, oceasSoeally is sitiog those orders, and aneionsly waiting the issue of the assault during the sth. I should imagine that 'the ground out which Mr. White's house stands is rather higher then out part of the Core 'anis, but from 'wither is there any view of the trim ; the country is intersected by hedges st every I;0 yards , there is no view any where. Yon can see the tops oc the Louses and tire churches, bat out the streets. 'No itinwniatiou had been received, or sue received, in the course of that day: the first information was received on the mo eof the fol lowing day. I did remain with I.ieutteiant-Genc ral ft'hitelocke, aunt did remain, with scarcely ally exception, at his side tilt his arrival at the Plaza del Tauros, tit one o'clock on the aftenteoit of the 6th. On our arrival at Mr. White's house, eerie orders were given for the more than usual safe guard ant protection of the femme. The ordere, I think, were that some of the staff should, with part of the men then in the court-yard, he stationed du ring the course of the night oil the that roof of the house. There were no other orders that I can re collect. Hia Excellency sat silent and reserved. TIT ENTY- SI XTH DAY-31.4 le CIO 3. Captain P . tIA R feed IN again. . . . _ ...
