Ithen arrived at La Plata del Teen's, he ordered me to go mod inspect the ordnance, generally, which had been cap seised, and to be spoil such sputa as 1 thought most desire lute fm batteries, toe his further cousideration. I was some considerable time occupied on that duty, and returned to him.

The additional pn.positiou whkli I iutended to make, and which I submitted to Lieutenant-General It bite lecke, and a hich Ise approved, was the crssion,in sovereignty, of • etieAderable portion on the left bank of the Mate, and that that country and the fiver Plate should be eouide:•ed as neutral, during the remainder tithe war. I did converse with General Lioices on these subjects separately, and mama or two more which hr proposed, but from which he receded. Flailing that there VAS no probability of his agreeing to the additional proposition, I receded, after some time, also from it, and confined myself entirely to those points, relative to which I had received his special directions. Late In the evening, I returned to the Plana del Taurus, having hikes notes on each of the subjects ender dismission, and on two additional subjects, which Cleseral Liitiers had proposed, apd which, as they did not tend to militate against any thing that was in the former order, I was inclined to submit to Lieutenant-General Whitelocke, that he might clearly un derstand the thing, from the notes whisk I drew out, qa raper, in the form of articles, which I delivered to Licata nant-General Whitelocke. On the subsequent day, between I and t•/ e'clock, Admiral Murray having come un shore, Lieutenant-General Whitelocke informed me that it was their intention to agree to a treaty founded on the preliminary propositions, which I had deliveted to him the preceding night. On the succeeding day, Lientewant-General White lucke ordered me to compare the treaty which he had delivered to me. I believe on the subsennent morning, the 9th, 1 think General Littler* began to deliver tip such a portion of the prisoners as could wove, sod as then w►re in Buenos Ayres; I, at the sun► time, received General Whiteleekes orders to coentianicate mud co-operate with Captain Dap. ton, of the navy, .4 the re-embarkation of the troops /Maid stores from the Pon del Taros; on that owlet I con tinued to be employed till the night of the 14th, when it was completed.

At that time, I believe he did not know the result oldie attack of the right militant, that includes Brigadier- General Crunfiord's brigade and the iath regiment Of alt the rest, i have reason to think be received intelligence from Sir Samuel Achnsitty. Small parties of the enemy were fore leg themselves out of the town during the whole day of the sth. The tenth Dragoon Gnards, and the nth Light Dr 2. coolie were seriously engaged. hwing the hitter Nit of the day, the former corps lost their first and second senior odi errs.

A sobsitern's adjust of that regonett, which was tilt in charge of their parks, might have been moved down *join them Dot Ido not recollect whether it was so or toot.

GenoralWhltebeke, I believe, did get up once or twice is the night ; bat being a thing that parted in the night, it is sot very easy fee one to speak tor rettly. The troops elf tat reserve, except the eatabineers, remained in the same poritma which tkey had occupied dar ing the day. General Wbitelocke left livid-quartets os the morning of the Atb, Immediately after day-light This, with the exceptioa of the artillerymen seat to Sir Samuel Atli mute, nits the first attempt made by Lieutenant-General Wbitelocke to connouuicate with the various other columns of the army which had penetrated into the ?awn the ing wonting. The letter sent from Lientenaut-Ini ec iti Whiteloche, by his Aid-de-Caanp. Captain Brown, proposing to the Spanish General a cessation of hostilities ' was sent aboot twelve. General Whitetocke reached the Plana del Tattoo abcut, or a little before, our o'clock. There were, think, two six-ponarlert, with their artillery-men, to corer them; • portico, I do sot exactly recollect what nam ber, of the nth light dragoons, dismounted; there was too difficulty; there was a little bring from behind the biomes during the march, but it was sot of consaquevies.— From . the immense extent of Boras Ayres, I believe it would have been impossible to prevent tba concealment of the greater portion of those arms which were in the hands of the inhabitants. I believe the effect of • military police would have been trilling, as I am sore that no really good in formation could have been obtained, which could have given much erect to the rumored of that police ; and I am coo &lent no conduct, however cautious, just, or lousane, it right be, would ham eared the inhabiters of Or country to relinquish their power of attacking British soldiers when ever they might be enabled to do so and lam confir med in that, from the unanimous opinion which all the Spaniards which I ever spoke to had given both of General liermfded and Sir Saari Achninty, to their respective commando and it heir an ascertained fact, that the people of Barr Ayres had prepared mines under the barracks of the 7 tat 1116 giment, to destroy them, and that no atom:heart or good will to the part oldie people on the other side of the river bad beearewn to the Governmeut under Sir Saintud Ark mote, Omagh the people in both situation* expressed, in the strongest possible terms, how much they were indebted to .

During then hole day, any small party would have been prevented from counonnicating with my of the paints, from the rem her of people in semi in miry direction; but I had tio maim to suppose thir s proper party would not have opened a commuMention whenever it was attempted. Lieutenant- General Whiteliseke mole no other attempt that that which I have described, that I know Ido nut recollect that he spoke to nor rho subject till a little before he sent Captain Wkittingheni, as well as I remember. Both at that period, sad when the artidery-men went in the evening, I lexperred my wish to be allowed to go; and I added, that even if there was a ditlietilty of communicating with the right columns, or with Colonel Mohr, hy land, I thought I might possibly do so by getting on board a man of war's boat from the Plaza del l'aiuses and attempting it by water.

I then took my station with the right *hag of the nth, the centre regiment of my brigade, laving been directed to detach the 3stb regiment, which was the wily corps that ins not divided. (In the siged being made (a camouede from the centre) we advanced without aonCigiositiou bctieceu one anal two miles.

In advancing along this street, we founi a deep. water-course' ruesuing through the centre of it, which fortunately sheltered us from the fire of the Teurus, e kith wan etill reef heavy.

I found some difficulty in retarning to tba Taurus, scattered parties of the enemy being in the siecets and firing from the Louse s. Early in the afternoon, General Lumley joined in with the nth aad 36th regiments, haying met with much op nosiness from the many in retreating from the posts they (Weepiest, awl which be considered as uo longer tenable. During all this time, I was Ignorant of the Mitigation or intent:one of the General, nor could I venture, with safety, as I had no cavalry, to detach a small party to report to Inns ; at tenth, *beet roar o'ciock, Captain Whittinghans came to me from the head-quarters; he acquainted me that the Gunnel, sod General Goner, were still at the ground we before occupied ; that the General was ignorant of the situa tion of my of the colonels, sad had sent him to procure ohs; information he could from the left; after detailing to him the occurrences of the day, as far as I was acquainted with them, I desired bins to assure the Gem rel, that I as. ender no apprehensioes Jur the safety of the post ; thot I 1+461 opened a comounicerwo with the shippiee, bat that I was is want of an artillery officer, end some men of that amps I recommended to him, if the events of the right of the town would permit it, to jaia me, and make my poet bead. quarters Early in Om evening I received a second message from the General, directiug MC to defend the post during the night, assuring one, that lie would either sec me or communicate with me the next morninr. and informing me that be bad sent sixteen artillery tom more to join as; there was ne commissioued officer attached to these men.
