Although the laws of war give all ships, barges, vroels, boats, and craft of every description, in bar:sows, rivers, and creeks, to the captors, yet the Commanders in-Chief of Hie Britannic !Majesty's forces, by land and sea, feeling that such captures will distress the owners of small vessels, as they may be the only means by which they gain their livelihood, and anxiously wishing to give every encouragement to real induo• try, JIM every accommodation to the inhabitants of South America, do by this Proclamation give up all such small Yes. eels aot shall appear to be really eebael,etrrying on the roasting trade of the river.

E:oract of a Dispatch from Maier-General Br resford to the R.eht lion. Lord Castlereagh, dated Fort of Buenos Ayres, 163. Jul„ 1806. I am now able to transmit nearly an account of the money which has been received as prize, under the terms of my agreement with the afting Gover nor of the place, previous to my entering the town. The statement chews the various departments and public bodies whence the sums forming the total has been derived. the sum of one million eighty-six thousand two hundred and eight dollars is ~oing home in Ills Majesty's ship Madras's, and Sir Home Popham and myself have thou,;lit it right to reserve here, for the exigencies of the army and navy. a considerable sum ; and for the purpose of keeping down the exchange on hills drawn by the respective services, and which would otherwise bring the dollar to an enormous price. It is estimated that the merchandise in the King's stores, principally Jesuit's Bark and quicksilver, and which is in the Ph;lippine Compaity's stores, with the little th It is retained of floating property, will amount, if it can he disposed of, to b.itween two and thtee millions of dollars. Of the bullion delivered in, some is claimed as private property. and which shall be delivered in the same spir;t of liberality with which, we trust, it will be considered we have afted here. The sixt y•one thousand seven hundred and ninety dollars s.ere yesterday delivered to the Consulada, on their assurance only that it belonged so the people of this town, and they have a claim upon forty or fifty thousand dollars more, which will be settled this day. essroolit of Monies.

Captain Donnelly, of His Majesty's ship Mir cis%us, arrived last night at this Office, with a dis patch from Commodore Sir Home Popham Knight , addressed to William M ars d en , E sq . of Which the following is a copy ; Narcissus. at &AVM. A,P11% SIR, Jury, ise•G. In the leth.r which I had the honour to address you trom St. Helena, nn the 30th , tf /sprit, I fully explained, for the information Lt my Lords Cam no;sioners of the Admiralty, the motive' that in duced me to press so strongly the urgency and ex pediency of undertaking an expedition ag.tinst the enemy's settlements in the kin de IA Plata. I hays therefore only to give you a short detail of the proceeding; of the sco tdron ; previously con gratulating their Lirdships on His Majeity's fote..3 tieing in full possession of Buenos Ayres and its de p.:cdencies ; the ciyital of one of the richest and most extensive provinces of Fluth America 'bo the Commerce of Great Brttain it exhibits peculiar advantages, as well as to the a&ve indus try of her manufitauring towns. And when 1 ven ture in addition to assure their Lordships of the ex treme healthiness of the climate, I trust I only hol .1 out a consolation that the friends of every perm employed on this expedition are justly entitled to, and W.i.th I am satisfied will be equally grALii i in r to the feelings every British subj..i. • N coonvel, b:tt vup,os..l letto Dth'l.n ea*. t Not cuutstett, tlensap r olott Ctia4leallais sock. 1 As I considertdonitthaen7othlijoefet May,of ni andateri r.salreccl quence to obtain the earliest local infoimatie n in : e t river, I placedtle f s o g r n t a n d a r t o p n ua u p n o d se er . the direetioi l ~' it i n Captain th e Narcissusßowley, On the Bth ult. we anchored near the island o Flores ; and, after passing Monte-Video the folli ete ing day, we detained a Portuguese schuoner, by whom the intelligence we had formerly received vie, generally confirmed. On the I lth we fell in :si t e the Encounter and Oecean transport, near the Sou h coast of the river ; and on thq e leth we joined tee squadron. It was immediately determined to attack the Ca pital; and no time was !ost in removing ere etaiiie Battalion to the Narcissus, the Encounter, and the Transports, for the purpose of proceeding to Buenos Ayres, while the Diadem blockaded the port of Monte-Video, and the Raisonable, and Diomede, by way of demonstration, cruized near Meldonado and other assailable points. Our progress up the river was very much regarded by the shoalness of the water, adverse winds and currents, continual fogs, and the great ina ccerecv 1 of the Charts; but by the unremitting and laboriuns exertions of the officers and men I had the honour to command, these difficulties were sunnauned, and the squadron anchored on the afternoon of the 25th, off Point Quelmey a Pouichin. about twelve miles from Buenos Ayres. As it was impossible for the Narcissus to approach the shore on account of the shoalness of the water, the Encounter was run in so close as to take the ground, the more effe!tually to cover the debarka tion of the army in case of necessity ; the whole, however, was landed in die Course of the evening, without the least opposition ; coosisting of the de tachment of His Majesty's troops freser-tbe Cape, and that from] St. Helena, with the m...' s, battalions, under the orders of Captain King, of Fes Majesty'; ship the Diadem, which was composed of the ma rines of the squadron, augmented by the incorpo ration of soon seamen, and three companies of Royal Blues, from the same source of enterprise, which had been regularly train:d fur that duty, and dressed in an appropriate uniform. The enemy was postal at the village of Reduc tion, which was on an eminence, about two miles i from the beach, with the appearance of a fine plain between the two armies, which, however, proved on the follovrine morning, to be only a morass, in a high state of verdure. This, in some measure, checked our advance ment, nor did the enemy open his field train, till the troops were nearly is the middle of the swamp, from whence he thought it was impossible for them to be extricated. The able and excellent disposition of General Be res/ord, and the intrepidity of his army, very soon, however, satisfied the enemy, that his only safety was in a precipitate retreat ; for we had the setts felion of seeing Hon the ships near four thoussni prnish C3V dry, flying in every dire:lion, leaving their artillery behind tnem, while our troop were ascending the hill with that cnelness and courage, which has, on every occasion, marked the chat-aft:iv of a British soldier, and has been exemplitied in proportion to the difficulties and dangers by which he was opposed. I have probably trespassed on a line that does not immediately belong to me, but I could net resist the gratification of relating to their Lordships what I saw; assuring myself, at the same time, they w ill lie con%;inced, it the enemy had given the squadrc•a an equal opportunity, I should have bad the pleasing duty of reporting an honourable issue to the efLe of their eminent *eel and exertions. Oa the getle in the morning, we saw some firing near the hanks of the river Unlit), but it blew so hard, that it was totally impreelicable to have any communication with the shore during that day. Eerily on the 281 h, a Royal salute was fired front the Castle of Buenos Ayres, in honour of His Ma jesty's celours being hoisted in South America, and tnstaatly returned by the ships lying off the town. I new consider it to be a proper moment for se knowledging, in terms of the sincerest gratitude, my high sums of the zealous and animated condue of every °Dicer and man in the squadron which I have the extraordinary ro II tot tune to command. • Captain Rowley, with Captain Edmonds under his orders, continued, as long at the weather were I permit, an advantageous desnonstratioo, off Maldo nado. Captain Donnelly, who did me the favour of re questing I would go up the river in the Narcissus. and to whom, from his rank, no specific sets ice could he assigned in our small scale of operati. ns, applied himself in every occasion where he could promote the olsjeCts of the expedition ; and, as he is charged with this dispatch, I take the liberty of recommending him to their Lordships proteltion, under a full convietion they will obtain, through him, every information which they have a right to raped from al) Officer of great intelligence and long meritoriops service. I consider Captain Rine, with the Officers of the Marine Battalion, so completely under the repot& of Genera; Beresford, that I shall °ley state to their Lou dships my extreme satisfaetion nu hearing per snnally from the General how highly he appreci.eed every part of their coaduet, particularly the celerity with which they trenseroted the arillery and t reei!. semis the Rio Cita° after the bridge was burnt :of the enemy. Lieutenant Talbot, of the Encounter. Ineeif - ssled great zeal in every instance where it was necessary hi call on him ; leetrenant Groves, of the Dtadem, was also very aelive in landing the ordnance and ordure:se stores, and I think it highly proper to sate to their Lordships, that the msters and Cle" of the different transports behaved with great :seen tints dewing the whole of this service. I inclo.e a copy 4 the ter ens • granted to the inhabitants after the captute of the city, by which their Loreshipa will see. that the coasting vessel M the river, supposed, with their cargoes, to emouut to one million and a half of dollars, were restoree LO the props ietors ; for an early record to the touts try of the great lisenetlity of His Majesty's Govern ment.

I trust the conduel adopted towards the people here has had its full ace}, in impressing upon their minds the honour, generosity, and humanity of the British charafler. tlis Majesty's Ministers will see by the detail of our proceedings, that after the army had passed the Rio Chuelo, the city of Buenos Ayres remained at our mercy, and that, in Taft, the only conditions on which I entered, were such as I pleased to offer, and which humanity, and a regard to our national character, would maul:illy induce me to give under any circumstances. However, to quiet the minds of the inhabitants, we not only con sented to put in writing my promises, but acceded to many conditions not expefted by them and, contrary to direEt stipulation, gave up ,to the pro prietors all the coasting vessels captured. with their cargoes, of which I annex a retut no', and the value of which amounted to one million and a half of dollars, and which being dune with the views already exposed, will, I trust, meet with His Ma jesty's approbation. I have the honour to inform His Majesty's Minis ters, that I had detached Captain Arbuthnot, of the 20th Light Dragoons, on the 3d instant, with a party consisting of seven dragoons, and twenty infantry (the whr•la mounted), to a place called Linen, fifty miles distant. My principal objea was to have tae catintry reconnoitred, and to see what were the dispositions of the inhabitants ; but with the avowed objeft et escorting back sonic of the treasure which had been taken from bete, and to prevent its following the Viceroy,• which I had reason to sewed was intended, though it was said to be all pri►ate property ; and, in which case, we had declared, if brought back, it should be given to its owners, if of this city. —Captain Arbuthnet returned last night; and I am glad to say, with in formation of a pleasing nature ; for your Lordship will see, by this detachment passing so easily through the country, that whatever their present iticlieta tions may be, there is no very great danger from any hostile intentions against us ; and Captain Arbuth not reports rather favourably of the general dispo tions of the people. The country to Luxan, as I have already represented, in general the whole of it, is a perfeft flat, and the view of the horizon ob strafed by nothiag but the immense herds of horses and cattle—but principaily horned cattle. Luxan is situated on a river of the tame name, ' and whet• there is a bridge over it, and the route. leading to all the interior provinces; and I rather think it will be advisable, on many accounts, that I possess myself of it, which I can du by a small de tachment. Much of the treasure was caught aCtu ally going to Cordova; and the rest, but for the opportune arrival of the party, would have been pillaged. The waggons, conveying this treasure, may be expeded here tomorrow. Those with the royal treasure, and that of the Philippine Company, ar rived some time since, and is all eady embarked. The Hon. Major Deane, who is the hearer of these dispatches, "till give any further information to His Majesty's Ministers bit they may desire; and I beg to recommend him as an Officer descry. ing of any mark of favour that His Majesty may be graciously pleased to bestow on him.
