BUENOS AYRES.
ACCOUNT OF THE PRESENT STATE OF THE PROVINCE OF BUENOS AYRES, IN SOUTH AMERICA.
(From the London Star of Sept. 24.)
(CONCLUDED.)
There are two ways of travelling from Montevideo to Buenos Ayres: one of them by land as far as El Real de San Carlos. In the dry season of the year this is the shortest, but in the rainy season the smallest rivulets swell to such a height that no one can cross them without danger, some times not at all. At San Carlos boats are always in readiness to transport passengers across the Rio de la Plata, which is here ten leagues broad, and to carry back the orders of the governor and all kinds of provisions to San Carlos. The most usual manner of travelling from Montevideo to Buenos Ayres is by water. If the weather be favorable, a boat may perform this passage in twenty four hours, though the distance be forty leagues; but when the wind is contrary it may happen that fourteen days will scarcely be sufficient.
Buenos Ayres is situated on the western bank of the great River de la Plata. So lately as forty years ago this city was considered as only the fourth as to rank and importance in the Viceroyalty of Peru—Lima then held the first rank, and the next in importance to that capital was Cuzco & Santiago in Chili.
Since that time circumstances have greatly altered, and at present Lima alone can be reckoned superior to Buenos Ayres—Since this latter city became the seat of a new government, it has greatly increased and still daily increases, in consequence of the improved state of agriculture and commerce, and in the course of time will probably raise to an equal rank with Lima itself.
Formerly the citizens of Buenos Ayres had no country houses; and except peaches none of the finer sorts of fruits were produced here. At present there are few persons of opulence but have villas, and cultivate in their gardens all kind of fruit, culinary plants, and flowers. The houses are in general not very high; but most of them are built in a light and very beautiful manner.
At Buenos Ayres, the men as well as the women dress after the Spanish mode, and all the fashions are brought hither from the mother country. The ladies in Buenos Ayres are reckoned the most agreeable and handsome of all South America, and though they do not equal those of Lima in magnificence, yet their manner of dressing and decorating themselves is not less pleasing, and even evinces a greater delicacy of taste.
Until the year seventeen hundred and forty seven, no regular post was established either in Buenos Ayres or the whole province of Tucuman, notwithstanding the great intercourse and trade with the neighboring provinces. Merchants sent as often as they found it necessary a messenger with their letters, and their friends and neighbors made use of the same conveyance; or what was more usual they loaded travellers with their letters and commissions, &c. which was however attended with great delay and inconvenience, as from Jejui to Mendoza one is obliged to travel very slowly in a kind of two wheeled carts. But in 1748, the Viceroy Don Andonaegui instituted regular posts.
Buenos Ayres is well supplied with provisions: of flesh meat in particular there is so great an abundance, that it is frequently distributed gratis to the poor. The river water is rather muddy; but it soon becomes clear and drinkable, by being kept in large tubs or earthen vessels. Of fish too there is great abundance.
Neither in the district of Buenos Ayres nor in Tucuman does any snow ever fall; sometimes it freezes a little, so as to cover the water with a thin coating of ice, which is collected and preserved with great care for the purpose of cooling their liquors.
That the climate of Buenos Ayres is very salubrious, appears from the proportion of the births to the deaths; and consequently the city has not been improperly named. In June, July, August and September, however, fogs arise from the river, which affect the lungs and breast. The vehement winds too, which blow from the Pampas, and are therefore called Pamperos, prove very troublesome to the inhabitants.
Those who wish to cross the continent from Buenos Ayres to Peru, have many things to attend to, and guard against. The greatest danger arises from Indians who inhabit the Pampas. Whole troops of
much loss. The Pampas Indians, as well as the other tribes of savages, send out scouts to acquire intelligence of the number and strength of travellers. These spies frequently pretend to be defeated, or driven away and pursued by their countrymen. The laziness of the Pampas surprises all description. On this account the number does not increase; and the Spaniards entertain well founded hopes that the whole race will soon be extinguished. They are treacherous and cowardly; and altho' they can manage the lance with some skill on horseback, they do not possess valor sufficient to maintain the combat for any length of time. Their victories over the Spaniards are therefore very rare. It is then only that their attacks prove successful, when they are able to lie in ambush, and surprise their enemy, or when fifteen of them fight against one European.
It has been alleged by some people that this country can derive no benefit from the possession of Buenos Ayres, which we did not before enjoy in consequence of the licenses granted to neutrals to trade with that country; but this arises from their want of information. While Buenos Ayres was under the dominion of Spain, we could only carry on our commerce by neutrals, thro' the agency of Spanish brokers, whose commission, &c. amounted to about 7 1/2 per cent. besides which the Spanish government charged 34 3/4 per cent. ad valorem on the imports, and 22 per cent. on the exports, making together a charge of 56 1/4 per cent. against the British adventurer, and with the commission 64 per cent.
Is the saving of such a sum no benefit to this country? Is the employment of British instead of neutral bottoms of no advantage? General Beresford and Sir Home Popham have reduced the duties on importation to 12 and a half per cent. and on the exports to 10 per cent. and even this sum, instead of being paid to another government, is now paid to our own. This country will undoubtedly derive great advantage from this new source of trade. We do not mean, however, that every new adventurer who embarks in it will instantly make a fortune; on the contrary, many of them, we doubt not, will be ruined; for here, as in every other quarter, a glut of goods and the necessity of making remittances, will bring on a competition which will reduce the profits of the adventurers. But in such cases things at last find their level, and there is left a fair commercial return for the capital employed, and the risks of the trade. Another thing should also be taken into the consideration of such as mean to embark in this trade. The American produce will, in proportion to the increased quantity that comes to this country, fall in its price here. This is an effect so common and so natural, that he must be a mere novice in commercial pursuits who does not comprehend it. All that we would be understood to say is—that this trade holds out a prospect of a fair remuneration to experienced commercial men, and promises to open up sources for the consumption of British manufactures to an extent that cannot yet be calculated; for exactly in proportion as the burdens laid upon the natives are diminished by the British government, their means for buying our commodities will be increased; and the people instead of continuing ragged and indolent, will become industrious, and in length of time vie with each other in the possession of necessaries, comforts, and luxuries.
FROM A LONDON PAPER.
THE LATE ARRANGEMENTS.
The old Foxites are all anxious to represent the arrangements that have been made in consequence of the death of Mr. Fox as a proof of the most perfect cordiality of union and sentiment amongst all the confidential ministers of the king. There is that kind of cordiality and union of sentiment which subsists between those who command, and those who are forced to obey, nothing further. The Foxites must submit to the Grenvilles. The death of Mr. Fox has sealed their dissolution as a party; they are now politically defunct. In the first moment after Mr. Fox's death, they were anxious to prove their submission to the Grenvilles; the Grenvilles select lord Percy, whom they had previously brought in for Buckingham, and the Foxites instantly cling to him; the Foxites dare not set up a Foxite for Westminster as a successor to Mr. Fox; they dare not support a Foxite; they are forced to afford the most signal proof of their submission to the Grenvilles, by supporting a Grenville candidate against a Foxite; they are obliged to turn against the only man of considerable talent left among them. At a general meeting of the electors of Westminster, not one of the old Foxites raises his voice in support of Mr. Sheridan. At a partial meeting, the Foxites pass over all mention of Mr. Sheridan's pretensions, or even his name, and take not the slightest notice of the vote passed at the general
meeting in favor of Mr. Sheridan, and against earl Percy.
Don't let the Foxites suppose for a moment that by their assertions and assurances of "that cordiality and perfect union of sentiment amongst all the confidential ministers of the king" they have deceived the public into a belief that they have equal weight in the cabinet with the Grenvilles. They wish it to be supposed, we see, that they shall be able to count lord Fitzwilliam's nose upon any point of emergency; but lord Fitzwilliam's nose will no longer be counted, we venture to predict. The Grenvilles have good naturally let them throw out the idea, in order to save their credit, but they will never presume to count lord Fitzwilliam's nose against the Grenville noses. Do they think the public do not see the master hand of the Grenvilles in all the arrangements? When the ministry was first formed, Mr. Grey was placed at the head of the admiralty. Was it against his inclination? Was it not a particular object with the Foxites and with the Greys, so intimately connected as they are with the St. Vincents, to have him there? Does any one consider his removal in any other light than as a dismissal from the admiralty? But still he has a seat at the cabinet, an important office, the foreign secretaryship of state; he will retain it just so long as the Grenvilles please; that is, till certain other arrangements are made, which cannot be made at present. We consider him as the locum tenens of the marquis Wellesley. Nothing more. But lord Holland, a Foxite, has got into the cabinet, and a Foxite has succeeded Mr. Fox in the foreign secretaryship, and thus they think the public will see nothing more than the replacing two Foxites by Foxites. But let us look a little further—lord Holland has succeeded to an office of little or no importance, the privy seal. The Foxites designated him as a successor to his uncle, of whose sentiments and hopes and plans they told us he was the depositary. But the Grenvilles do not chuse that he shall be foreign secretary of state (which of course he would have been, had the Foxites had a commanding influence) but suffer him to succeed lord Sidmouth, whom they elevate to his old post, the presidency of the council. Lord Holland is no permitted to succeed Mr. Fox, but to succeed lord Sidmouth!! He is not allowed to have a place of such efficiency as lord Sidmouth, the former object of the derision and ridicule of the Foxites, but is to put up with a place which lord S. has quitted—another humiliation for the Foxites.
But in these new arrangements what do the Grenvilles retain? Precisely all those departments which afforded them great internal influence and control; which really makes them the ministers of the country—they have the finance or the treasury, the admiralty and the home department; they may be said also to have the army, and all the great seats and sources of internal influence and patronage are in their own hands, it is they who make arrangements and recommend candidates (we have a good deal to say on certain recent proceedings in Hampshire); it is they who selected Lord Percy for Buckingham, and who have selected him for Westminster.
But what do the Foxites retain that gives them any counterbalance or counterpoise to the power of the Grenvilles? Nothing. The foreign departments gives them no internal influence or patronage. The privy seal! it would be idle to talk of the internal influence of that place. The foreign secretaryship of state! Do they rely on counting Mr. Windham's nose against the Grenvilles? Mr. Windham's nose they may depend upon it will not be stationary on their side, nor perhaps on any—it will be now on this side, now on that side. We view him as the SHUTTLECOCK. Do the Foxites rely upon the Prince's friends? Has Lord Howick forgotten former circumstances? Besides recent events must we presume, sufficiently convince them that the Prince's friends will not be with them against the Grenvilles.
We consider therefore Lord Howick as merely the locum tenens of the marquis of Wellesley, who will be appointed to the foreign department, so soon as he has been released, which we have no doubt he will be, from all the charges brought against him. And Mr. Tierney's appointment to the presidency of the board of control may not be unconnected with that object. It was found extremely inconvenient we understand, to have the president of the board in the house of peers. Mr. Tierney therefore was selected as a man of great acuteness and application to business, who would be able to take an active part in the debates upon India affairs in the commons. Do the Foxites consider Mr. Tierney's appointment as a proof of their influence. We believe they will not contradict us when
we assert, that Mr. Tierney was never popular with them.
As a party therefore possessing either consequence or weight, the Foxites are defunct—an event upon which we more sincerely congratulate the country. They must submit to the Grenvilles. They may shew themselves more frequently at public meetings; they may make more noise; they may deliver longer speeches; they may appear upon the stage, but they are now the managers; they may appear before the curtain, but the public see clearly that they are moved about by the Grenvilles just like those puppets which open their eyes and mouths, and throw about their hands & arms upon pulling a wire between their legs. They are the dancing figures, but the Grenvilles are the showmen.
DUTCH PAPERS.—We have received Dutch papers to the 22d, but they are very barren of intelligence. Indeed it can hardly be otherwise, for greatly as the Dutch journalists were restrained before, they are now more so. King Louis, by a decree issued at Mayence on the 6th inst. has not only suppressed one of the Amsterdam papers, the Avond Journal ( Evening Herald ) but has decided that the unfortunate editor shall not be employed in any periodical work. The reason assigned for this act of authority is the publication of some free remarks upon governments with whom his majesty is at peace. We have referred to the Dutch papers, but cannot find in them any articles of importance. Indeed the discovery would scarcely compensate for the trouble of the search, nor should we have thought it worth while to seek for it, did it not strike us that this decree is part of a plan laid down by the French government to strangle, if possible, the freedom of the press in every country in Europe. When we recollect the presumptuous correspondence of Otto and Andreossi on this subject, and connect it with the extraordinary regulations ordained in the second article of this decree, we are persuaded that some such design as we mentioned has been in the contemplation of Bonaparte. It is not at random that suggestions are thrown out by his lieutenant in Holland, respecting the unlawfulness of other governments. They are meant to be acted upon, and will, we have no doubt, shortly become the basis of that code which is to impel or restrain the public presses of the continent. Had we not the decree before us, we could not have imagined that despotism could be pushed so far in an enlightened state as it appears to be in Holland. The principles broadly laid down, that even the acts of either (foreign, we suppose) governments are only to be discussed in the utmost privacy; from which it may be inferred that the measures of king Louis are not to be subject to any examination whatever. When his majesty passed this decree, he no doubt expected that it would be duly appreciated by other powers, and that similar acts of complaisance and good neighborhood would not be wanting on their part.
We have received Hamburg papers to the 23d ult. they enable us to anticipate the intelligence which may be expected by the mail due on Wednesday last.
The military preparations of Prussia appear to lose nothing of that activity and energy which they have lately assumed. On the contrary, her exertions seem to increase with the danger and pressure of the crisis. So apprehensive is she of an attack on her Saxon frontier, that the prince of Hohenlohe, the general who is appointed to command in that quarter, set out to join the army without calling at Berlin to receive his instructions. The electorate, or rather the country, of Hanover, for the electoral quality has been annihilated with the Germanic constitution, is also it would appear, to be resolutely detatched. The fortress of Nieuborgh is strengthened, and that of Hameln, almost impregnable, has been abundantly provisioned.
The Haniborough papers allude to the formidable occupation of Goritz and Gradisca by the French, but endeavor to represent it as the consequence of previous arrangement with Austria. It is said to have been for the purpose of covering the march of the French troops into Dalmatia and Albania. Covering their march! Against whom? Did they apprehend an attack from the Austrians, for on the whole face of the continent of Europe there does not appear to have been another power possessing either means or inclination to traverse their line of march? We did not expect that Napoleon had been so near the end of his pretexis and subterfuges with which he has been accustomed to cloak and palliate his usurpations.

Some of the French troops have actually entered the Austrian territory, in the neighborhood of the Inn, under that most accommodating of all pretexts, the plea of convenience. They do not, it is true, resort to the severity of war, and lay the country under contribution, but they acquire an advantage of far more importance, that of occupying a great and commanding position. Let it not be forgotten, that this movement took place even after the abdication of the imperial German title.
The Russian official account gives quite a different representation of the early military operations on the side of Ragusa, from that contained in general Lauriston's despatches. The Russians and Montenegrins whose numbers scarcely exceeded those of the enemy, appear to have fought with uncommon gallantry, and no little share of skill, and to have compelled the French, though aided by the Ragusans, to shut themselves up in that town. We already know, that they were subsequently obliged to raise the siege of Ragusa.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
MONTREAL, September 29.
We could have wished that the unfounded and artful reports respecting the protection afforded in this province to Stephen Burroughs and his accomplices, had not been credited among our neighbors in the United States; but we are led to suppose from some paragraphs in their country papers, and facts recently come to our knowledge that the good people of that country imagine Burroughs is here a cherished character and has a licentious liberty to vend his counterfeits in the public markets of our town. We hope the following statement of facts will convince such misled characters in that country that the laws of this province discountenance immorality in every shape, and administer justice alike to all, from the king to the peasant, to foreign as well as subjects.
Burroughs was taken in July last on two separate charges of having uttered counterfeit bills of the banks of the United States, knowing them to be such, and conveyed to the common gaol of this district, where he lay until he was admitted to bail under a writ of habeas corpus. On the 30th day of August last he was again taken into custody on a charge of having stolen an ox from one of his neighbors in Stanstead, and the criminal term of the court of king's bench beginning the next day, six indictments were found against him by the grand jury of the district, two of which were for forgery of the bills of two of the banks in the States, two for misdemeanors in passing other bills, one for stealing the ox, and one for inciting a person to pass a counterfeit half johannes; under these indictments Burroughs now lays in gaol, and will there remain until next March term, as no bail can now be received for him.
On Friday week last, by the exertions of Mr. Lyman of this place, and Oliver Barker, esq. one of his majesty's justices of the peace, one William Remington and one Millard, accomplices of Burroughs, with the man and woman in whose house they lodged in this city, have been apprehended in the act of stamping counterfeit bills of the Merchant's bank of the city of N. York, and are confined in gaol to take their trials next March; at the time Remington & Millard were taken up, four counterfeit plates, two of which are new, with the implements for making bills, and a large quantity of paper were seized, and are now in the hands of our magistrates.
NEW YORK, November 20.
A letter from our Boston correspondent, received by this morning's mail contains the following intelligence:
"My informant (says the writer) was recently in Paris, and took pains to ascertain the truth or falsity of the following report, and confidently believes in its TRUTH. viz. "That Bonaparte had made propositions to the English ministry to make peace to conquer and divide the United States between the two nations, as "Colonies;" and that to effect this end, Great Britain should furnish a naval force, and transports for 80,000 men!!" Absurd and preposterous as every native American must consider even the report, my informant assures me—and he is corroborated by gentlemen from Bordeaux—that there were Frenchmen there, who not only assert that the proposition had been made, but that "Napoleon the Great" was able to effect it!—I cannot bring myself to believe that such a project could ever enter the head of any madman whatever:—But if it prove true, what are we to think of these kind and devoted tools of France in this country, who cease not to pray constantly for the success of French arms,
and the universal diffusion of French domination? Such a deluded wretch as Tom Paine may wish to see our country overrun with French ruffians; But every true American, while he detests the tools of tyranny, whether in a red or blue uniform, will be ready to punish their temerity, should they accept the invitation of these traitors.
It is to be remarked, that the same sentiments which were held by the British Tories in 1776, are now avowed by our French Tories; "that 3 or 4000 of the hired ruffians of either would scour our country, and rid it of rebels."

Thanks to the spirit and enterprize of our merchants, in despite of the opinion that "we had better abandon the ocean,"* America is still enabled to exhibit in the ports of Europe, such specimens of naval architecture, and such seamanship and sailors, as commanded the admiration of the first commercial states, and the respect of their rulers.
We extract the following article from a Liverpool paper, which details the prince of Wales' visit to that city.
"In the N. W. corner of the Queen's dock was placed in a most eligible position, the new American East Indiaman called the Oromzimbo of Baltimore, 800 tons burthen, consigned to Mr. W. Lees, American merchant of this town, esteemed for the excellency of her materials and workmanship, beauty of her model, and symmetry of her proportions, one of the finest merchant ships belonging to that nation. This ship was decorated for the occasion, most magnificently, and in correct nautical style, with an immense variety of flags & colors of the most lively and variegated hues and to which, we are informed, the commanders of all the other American ships in the harbor contributed, extending from the head of the foretopgallant royal, down the royal stay, to the extremity of the flying jib boom, and to the stays of every mast, fore and aft, from yard arm to yard arm, both on the starboard and larboard sides, reaching in one continued line of colors, from the sky scrapers and step royals, down to the decks without interruption.
"A large English ensign, in which was tastefully embroidered the plume of feathers, was hoisted at the head of the foretop gallant royal; and in the right hand of the figure head, an Indian chief as large as life, and of very exquisite carved work, were placed three very large real ostrich feathers, so disposed as to resemble the prince's crest; and the other an Indian Wampum, emblematic of peace and harmony. The tops and yards were manned with 150 fine American seamen, all uniformly dressed in blue jackets and white trousers, with blue ribbons round their hats, who on the approach of the royal party, saluted them with three hearty cheers, which were returned by the surrounding populace, who had been collecting in thousands from the moment the decorations commenced in the morning, and were repeated on their departure. The entire of the main and quarter decks were occupied by elegantly dressed ladies of the first families in town, which, added to the brightness of the atmosphere, and pleasant breeze, just sufficient to display with the happiest effects the flags and colours so judiciously arranged, conspired to make the spectacle the most magnificent of the kind, and induced the Prince to stop his carriage, and, with loud approbation, express his gratification for the very handsome tribute of respect shown him by her consigne and by the sons of Columbia."

CAUTION!
THE Widow of the late Richard Lee, junior, respectfully cautions the public against the compositions of Richard Lee and Son, advertised in this paper as being prepared from the original recipes, &c. &c. [See their advertisement]—The facts are; that the only and original recipes are in possession of the subscriber; that R. L. and Son, (both mechanics) were employed, with other persons, in the laboratory of the deceased; that, within a few months, these two persons, on a joint account, in Baltimore; and one other person on his own account, in New-York; have commenced making imitations of our medicines; each, pretending to prepare the only genuine articles—But R. L. and Son have advanced a step beyond their cotemporary, having had the meanness and effrontery to solicit the agents of the subscriber to take their compositions for sale, hoping thereby the better to deceive the unwary. As a further proof of what these persons are capable, the public are respectfully informed that the "unprincipled attempts" mentioned in R. L. and Sons advertisement, are utterly destitute of truth, no person in either of the places stated, or any where else, have conceived it worth while to imitate their imitations; which have been in existence but a few months; and more, the words are not their, being a copy of my advertisement to caution the public against R. L. and Son and the other imitator before mentioned.
That these persons have been capable of such conduct towards the Widow of their Relative, [whose employ had long yielded them a livelihood] and that they have compelled her to expose it, is a source of much regret, but she conceives the public as well as her own and her childrens interest demand this explanation.
The subscriber admits that the Medicines have been wrapt, sealed, &c. by R. L. and Son, and others, under the direction of her Husband, and supposes they remember the drugs of which they were composed, but absolutely denies that they are acquainted with the necessary proportions; the late proprietor being extremely tenacious of the Recipes which he kept locked up in his private desk, and has often expressed his determination to keep them secret.
The subscriber informs the public, that the whole of the large stock of prepared Medicines on hand and all the apparatus for preparing them, were purchased for her, by her friends at the late sale of her Husband's moveable property, and assures them the several articles shall be faithfully prepared from the Recipes, by competent persons, when it again becomes necessary.
