Thrse deplorable productions, as well with respect ty stile as on many other accounts, nevertheless, throw a frightful sort of light on the state of these beautiful and unfortunate pro vinces of the Rio de 14 Plata. Abandoned to a state tut weirdly,. the en.l tit which it is impossible tw eee; mortified with the pompous words inde pendence and Liberty, to which the great mass of the vulgar and even the chiefs attach no just idea ; ahandooed to their own furious passions, and to the caprices of the ambitions, who dispute with each other tire command ; easily overcome in their open cities,. but inaccessible in the immense plains, where the fugitives will always find an asylum, with herds of oxen, wild horst*, and a thousand other resources, indeoeticlent of every kind of culture ; terrible ie particular, niter their defeats, because they return to the combat, bring ing with them all those Men of colour and dcmi- SavAgrs who wait only for the signal of disorder or of vengeance ; the Colonists of Bin de la Nos, after five years of sufferings, are still tar front see ing a termination .of the evils which threaten to overwhelm them. Without doubt "the Por tuguese, strong in European' discipline, will he able to possess themselves of Mottle Vi deo, Ramon Ayres, the principal cities, and disperse the petty Congress of Tucuman. Will they be sufficiently numerous to keep their conquests How will 'bey be able An repair the inevitable losses which await them ? Will the infant kingdom of the Brazils be able to sustain $ struggle of this nature it it is protracted!? It is ttifficelt to answer these questions. The Congress of Tuctiman, before prochtiming the appeal to arms, endeavoured, )my means of negociations, to interest Hoglund, told to neutralize the Sovereign of Rio Janeiro. The first of these Powers pre serves to the present moment the appearances of neutrality ; the latter does not cutlet:al his hostile views, prepares his means of attack, and has even, we are assured, commenced hostilities. At Bite nos-Ayres they arc ignorant whether the Polito gorse soldiers are supporting the cause .of the King of Spilt, the brother-in lima their Sove reign, or abort to subjugate vast countries to ag• grandize the Brazilian empire. What is most painful in this new struggle is, that a great num ber of the inhabitants of the provinces of Rio de la Pieta, particularly those of Spanish origin, forced by - the, fear of persecution and death to seek an ass him in the Brazils, now return, a der the proteetiot , .4 foreign rs (tops, to demand beck their pillaged (livenings and to aveoge their for . - flier wrongs. Thos, the ferment:4llOn of all feel ings anti of all confliiting iuterests will produce i otesio n, a ble re-actions.

This was an action brought by the butler of General Morgan. to recover damages from the Proprietor of the Colchester stage co►ich, cal Fed the Eclipse, for the loss of a kg, wi.ich the plain tiff was allegeel to have sustained in consequence of the negligence of the defennant's servant, in the course of the passage from litcutwood, in Esser, to London. - The case Appeared to be this :—The plaintiff was an outside passenger, and the coach, having changed horses at the Swan Inn at Brea t wood, was proceeding on the journey to London, When the coupling rein of the leaders broke, and the near wheel horse haring got one of his legs entangled in the traces, the whole four set off•at full spee'.

It !vas, proved, as a strong fact in the plaintiff's case, and not contraditted on the other side, that the coupling rein of the leading horses ads in a complete state of decay, a circumstance was the primary cause Of the accident.

" a letter which I addressed you previous to my 'raving MackinAve, you were tam med of the route which I probably would pursue in returning • to Virginia. nese antieipntimis seem thus MT realized. In contiontity to my expectations, early in July, the detachment of riflemen stationed at Mackinaw, received orders to repair to Green Day, and there established a fort with all convenient expedition, to look down all expected Oppositiom horn the, Indians residing in this country. We sailed front Mackitiauf on the 26th of July last, with the schts Washingon, Wayne, Mink, and sloop Amelia---having on board Cu!. Miner, of the 3d regiment, Col. Chambers,, of the rifle, Major Gt atiot, of the eueiovers,'a detachment of arta !..ty under Capt. Pierce, and four companies of the 3d infantry, ainountingin the whole to 500 men. We entered the mouth of tile river tin the 7i ii of August—aq, contrary to e xpectations, received from the French iuhabitants and Indians a very friendly and flattering reception. Whether these pro fessions were sincere, or proceeded from their fears, time will determine. After looking, for some days for a proper scite, the engineer has finally•fixed on the position where the old Fetch fort . (Le iley) form er ly stood. It will he a stockade with strong pickets, a bastion at each angle, with a piece at artillery on each, amply sufficient to beat WI tut)! Indian force, that can be brought egaina4 it. The garrison will consist of two companies tit .riflemen, and two companies of infantry, all under the command of Colonel Chambers.- Stinie 'account of this very delightful country may peeve not uninteresting. When the French lost eitablithed themselves here, they found the contrast bet ween it and Mackinaw very grill' tog ; for, on leaving the latter place, vegetation was scarcely apparent : whereas, on arriving st: the Bay, they found the woods anti fields clothed in the most luxuriant verdure. At th3t time, the country was inhabited by two tribes of Indians. the Wittnehagoes, called by 'the French " Pt". • ons," or stinking) and the Manomenies, (called.
