The Madrid:Girii tte'Extraordinary., of the 16th: of January, &Itains' a Deelaraticin, ott if;!th; made by Don M. R. DR Qttoi-A', Merchant, of. Bueuo't Ayres, all the pedicipal Which attended the capture of that' place by the English ; as also of those coilcieeted with its subsequent re; apture. Froth this doeument, wl ich is of consHerable length; it appears, that the Viceroy of Ilueuol Ayred was guilty of very gross neglett in not raking proper precaution to frustrate` tl e attempts of the English, after having repeatedly been apprised by the Cfover nor of Monte \ ideo 'of their being on the coast.- That after its re-CaptUre by the 4aniards, " the Governorship of the city was conferred upon Co lonel Lissea, by the unanimous voice of the people, notwithstanding the, wish ,of the Viceroy to return to. his post : to this. wish.the people opposed them 7 selves, as they 1- id learnt that the Viceroy disap proved of the Expedition undertaken by Col. I..triEtt Without his ordcrs,-ati() had also witnessed his con dna in surrendering the city." in answer to questions 1 ut to the deponent, he says, that on the day preceding the re-capture .the English plundered some of the houses ; and it was understood that they intended to make the plunder general; and to re-embark, as they were provided with a list of the principal inhabitants. That the English imposed no contributions on the city ; and that the amount of property which fell into their hands aid - not exceed 1,200,000 dollars. That the English prisoners were conducted to the interior provinces; the people being desirous that they should not be .embarked in order to be ex changed, for fear they should unite with the forces expected from England or the Cape, and •again at tack .the place. That the number of troops, Militia and Regu lars, amounts to eight thousand, but that they are deficient •in equipment ; that both' the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres and Monte Video manifest the utmost enthusiasm in defence of those places, not dreading any attack from the English, provided they do not exceed six thousand men ; nor would- they dread an attack from A . greater number, provided they were fully supplied with arms; and had rnor,. re gUlar troops,--bus that the regiments were much "redUced. • - • _ CURACO4I, OR GI/RASSOM. This Island; the scene of the late ~ ;:ilant, ex ploit of the squadron of British •friga;es under. Cap tain BRISBANE, is , one of the larger A -;!les, and has been, since its settletnent i .sobjea to Dutch. It is situated in W.dongitude 68. 30. N. ,titude 30: It is little else than a bare rock, about o leagues long, and 5 broad, ..lying within three lea" , :es of the , coast of Venezuela; on the Spanish Main, kand a lit tle to the eastward of the mouth of the great ha: bout of Maracaibo. It has an excellent port, but the en trance is exiremely diflicult, , The bason is magnifi cent and hl;hly convenient, and is defended by a fort skillfully construEted, and always kept in repair. The original settling of this barren spot was to carry on a contraband trade with the Spanish Colonies on the Continent,; but after Sortie tinie, - the method of managing this trade was changed. Curitssow itself - became an immense magazine, to which the Spa niards resorted in their uoats„ to exchinge gold, Sil ver, vanilla, ccccc cochineal, bark, skins; and mules, for negroes, linen, silks, India stuffs, spices, laces,, ribbands, quicks;iver, steel, and iron ware.

Even the French Privateers arum, the Wind Islands repair in great nuobers . to Cura'ssow, not with-standing the distance. Ti ereason is, that they find there all, kinds of necessary stores .for their V2S- , sels ; and frequently Spanish, but'always European goads, Which are c.otistaritly . lased: English Priva, teers seldom cruize in these • parts.
