BUENOS AYRES.

Extract of a letter received at Glasgow, and dated
Buenos Ayres, August SE) :
" The country is improving very much, and the Eng-
lish are much tespected. In every mouth there is George
Canning. They call him their best friend ; this is highly
pleasing. We are still without a clergyman, but we ex-
pect one soon. All relistimui are now not only tolerated,
but a law has passed, declaring that it is the indisputable
right of every one living in Buenos Ayres to worship God
in the mode most agreeable to his conscience.
•' We arc afraid that there will be a war between this
and Brazil, on account of the Banda Oriental. The people
of Buenos Ayres, and generally of the other provinces in
the Union, arc willing to go to war. This Government is
raising forces and marching troops to the frontiers. Go-
vernment is purchasing vessels to form a navy. Indeed
every thing seems to be combining to bring it on, and the
only hope there is of avoiding it will be in the efforts that
Sir Charles Stuart may make with the Emperor of Brazil
to give up the Banda Oriental. The fact is this, the people
of the Banda Oriental, to a man, detest the Brazilians,
and nothing but a strong force will keep them down. We
have from eight to twelve Brazilian vessels of war cruising
in the river. The union of the Provinces of the ancient
Vice-Royalty is now nearly formed. They have had a
general Congress for sotne time. The United States arc
Buenos Ayres, Entre Rios, Mendoza, San Luis, Tucuman,
Santiago, Del Entera, Santa Fe, Corrientes, San Juan,
Cordova, Salta Catamarca, and Banda Oriental."

The Duke of Cumberland spent &null), evening with
the Lord Chancellor, for near two hours. At ten o'clock
the same evening his Royal Highness left town in his tra-
velling carriage for Dover, where the Royal Duke was ex-
pected to arrive yesterday morning in time for the steam-
packet for Calais, from which place his Royal Highness
was to proceed without delay to Brussels and Frankfort,
near which place is the residence of his Royal sister the
Princess Hesse Romberg, where the Royal buke is ex-
pected to remain on a visit to her Royal Highness for a
few days.
On Monday afternoon, about twenty minutes before four
o'clock, the Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, and
formerly Member for the ancient town and port of Ilast-
ing,s, the Right lion. G. Canning, accompanied by a gen-
tleman, passed through that town, on a visit to Mr. Planta,
at his residence, Fair-light Place. In the High-street,
near the Post-office, Mr. Canning's carriage was arrested
for a few moments to adjust the traces, which were entan-
gled, and which afforded an opportunity to the inhabitants
of acquiring a coup (Aril of this distinguished personage.

There is no truth in the Morning Chronicle's statement,
that, on Thursday se'nnight, Mrs. -Coutts was married, at
Edinburgh, to the Duke of St. Alban's.

Denmark, arrived at CopenLagen on the 14th ult., on
board the Caledonia steam-boat.

We regret to have occasion to state that Lord Petre re-
ceived conFidcrabk injury whilst hunting, on Monday last.
His Lordship's horse, we are informed, sunk with two legs
in a land-drain, when his Lordship was thrown, and by
the fall received so severe a concussion of the brain as to
render him insensible for nearly an hour ; although much
recovered, his Lordship is confined by the accident.—

It was by error that we stated yesterday that Count
Woronzow's carriage was overturned on Kew-green. The
context of the paragraph showed clearly that the carriage
proceeded for some distance after the accident. Count
d'Aglie is not the Sardinian Ambassador ; he is an old and
respected friend of Count Woronzow, but of course not his
Secretary.
