London, Sept, 12.
'! lie Saracen (loop, of 1 8 guns,
arrived yeiferday at Portfmourh,
with difpatchcs from Lent. gen.
W hidocke, dated ihc 1 cth ot’Ju
?y, containing the ungraceful in
telligence, that the Britifh forces
under his command had made an
attack upon Buenos Ayres, but
had experienced lo much relift
mce from the numerous forces
of the enemy, that after having
gained pofTellion of part of the
town, it was thought prudent to
en ter in to a ca pi t u! a t i on, hy v; h i eh
it has been agreed to evacuate,
nor only the part of Buenos Ay
res ol which our troops had earn
ed \ olTeflion, but Monte Viedo,
Maldonado, in line, the whole of
South- merica, within the fhort
fpace of two months.—Our lofs,
jn killed, wounded, and milling,
amounts to 1200 men, The re
mainder, according to the terms
of the capitu ation, arc now up n
their way home.
iJiipatilies hive arrive.! irom
admiral Gambier bir they are
not of fo fat is factory a nature as
was expected, They arc dated
the 26th, and were brought by
the Earned gun brig, which fail
ed on the 2-rii. f he account
given out by the melTenger is,
that up to that rime nothing of
confcquencc had taken place.—
”1 he letters from the d -ct repre
sent the liege of Copenhagen as
likely to continue three weeks.—
I *.decd fome private letters have
be n received, whu.lt lead u.-> to
co;u hide that the accounts re
ceived by minirters arc un- ivour
abie. It U dated in them that an
unfuccefsful attack was made on
the 23d, and that a good many
were killed on board our (hips.
It is Hated alio, that the Danes
had driven our troops from a re
doubt near the tovsn where a
battery had been erected, and that
they were twice repulfed in at
tempting to rc-takf* it. ! hey had
bu nt part of he ftiburbs to fa
cilitate th ir defence, and feemed
to hold out to the fail extremity.
There were reports in the city
ycHcrday, of Admiral < ambier
being killed, md Sir 1 lomc hop
ham having loll: a leg, and oar
fleet having, on the wh ie, fuf
tered conflderably. Th f* were
certainly unfounded, though it
was laid fevera! ofliccrs have fal

corroborated by the rumours brot
by the Gottenburgh mail.
