waiting the result of the battle of Buenos Ayres,

perhaps without example. The whole of the

possible that they should thus, io a moment, be re.

ties of Use held,. The opposite parfaits of toots'
diger materially in their account of it ; but from
the best information that I have been able to coilea.
it appears that the British loss in killed and wound-
ed amounted to fifteen hundred men and in pri-
soners to an equal number. Ilse Spaniards sutletcd
iw fleetly the same proportion.

Beiesford, shall be restored ; end the artillery and
tostitications of Monte Video be left *sally in the
state in which the British round them. And thus
tenciaates this disastrous expedition, which, after
involving the province for so long a period in all the
miseries of war, has infliEted the wound on

" Since my last, I have paid ■ visit to Buenos
Ayres. The Government is so feeble, and the
popular indignation against all atraogersto violent,
that it is in vain to attempt to speak with certainty
of the result of soy future commercial transaltions
harm The municipality are decidedly opposed to
the admiasioa of foreign vessels on any pretext
whatsoever, and they are supported by almost the
whole body of the merchants. On the other band,
Liaises, the Regent, and ell the Officers of Govern-
ment. seem deierinturd to pay every reapcl to the
seder of the King.
