TRADE WITH TIIE RIO DE Li PLATA.

The last mail from Ilttenosi Ayres has bought a copy of
a R-port drawn up by a Committee of British Merchants,
on the past and prey nt rude of the trade with the Rio de
la Plata, which supplies some eemmercial infornsatien of a
highly interesting nature. The improvement of the trade
of Mott: ,lyres, since its separation front Spain, low been
Tory Tensarliable, NA fur:Ashes a strong proof of the ad-
vainagcs veinal by that country in eatablishing its inde-
pendence. In the year 1;96, the exports front to
Buenos A, r, t amounted to V,Foo,nets dollars, and the im-
ports to Cinliz from Buenos Ayres to .5,000,000 dollars
which, an Spain possess:it an metre monopoly, may be
stated 24 the whole trade of that Vieeroyalty. In the year
NU, according to the returns of the Custom-house of
Buenos Ayteo, the imports are intimated at 11,000,000
dollars, of which nearly one half were received from
Great Britain direct. In the same year, the exports from
Buenos Ayres are evimated at 6,700 ,000 dollars. This dif-
ference in tie amount c.f the imports and exports from that
country is exp:ained by the cireumstanc,,, that the actual
quantities have aiways exceeded those returns, as they have
at all times been short manifold& I in order to save duties.
In the amount of siscie in particular, said to be exported,
no reliance is to be placed on these returns, as the article
has sometimes bent wholly prohibited, and was then
smuggled uhf. The revenue of Buenos Ayres, in the year
isle, is stated at 1,900,000 dollars, and which is said to
be raised on a scale of duths comparatively moderate. The
system of high duties was wiacly abandoned by the Go-
vernment. on account of the temptation it created to smug-
gling. The increase in the trade of Buenos Ayres will ap-
pear far more striking when it is stated, that under that
name was returned to the Spanish Government the whole
trade with Paraguay and Upper Peru, which is now, from
political Cattier, wholly suspended. When those causes
cease to operate, which the progress of events appears to
indicate will very shortly happen, the returns roust inevit-
ably become far greater. It is estimated by the Committer,
that, while the colonial system existed, all manufactund
and other liuroptats goods sold (Jr three limes 'heir preset
