A Gentleman in Bath has received a letter from
his son, an Officer in Admiral Stirling's squadron.
from which the folldwing is an extra& ; it is dated
O. Buenos Ayres, July 10, 1807:
" I scarcely know in what manner to relate our
sad eataurnphe. Our repulse at Buenos Ayres was
entirely owing tqpbad management. I was on shore,
and neves beheld so dread'ul a carnage. The Ge-
neral had given orders to attack the town in several
places at the same time, and that every thing was to
be carried by lite bayonet; for which purpose the
fliots were take t from the soldiers, and they were
not supported by the artillery. the houses have all
flat roots, with parapet walls, and at the top of every
street girt: were loaded with grape and cannister
shot. Ibe main body of the army was to advance
after the different detachments had carried and taken
possession of the pnsu allotted them. Thu detach-
ments advanced with charged bayonets; the enemy
retreated, and barricadoed themselves up in the
bungee. whence they poured a tremendous discharge
of masquetry, and the guilt in the different streets
swept down whole se:hons at a time, without our
people having the power to return a shot; and the
bayonets trrre found ality.t useless. Notwith-
standing which, they gained their post, but last so
many men, that they were obliged to surrender be-
fore the main body of the army could get to their
relief.

"After ti;s lo,s, the Central though: of born.
barding the town, which should have been done
at first ; and when the gun-boats began to fire, the
enemy sent out al fig of truce, to say, that it we
bombarded the tows they would pot 3O'O pre.
atoms to instant death. among them G:neral Crau-
fend, and several officers of distinaion. To save
our to dye countrymen, we were obliged to desist.
although we bad a post that commanded the whole
city, which could. rave been totally destroyed ir a
day or two. You have heard the diegracefill re-
sult. The Spaniards were thunderstruck to see
with what undaunted bravery our troops marched
up to the muzzles of the guns, and carried them
by the bayonet. although whole companies were
m !wed down at at a time. All the officers of the
glnrseus 87th are killed or wou:oled excepting two.
£very class of people err- ezasperated against —.
Instead of making our fortunes, the btitisa arms
have been disgrAerel, and a great number of brave
men sacrific.c.f, owing to inconsiderate rashness,
bad management, and being too confieunt of soc-
cess.—Those that remain with us ate the finest
troops 1 ever beheld— they are the very flower of
toe British army ; and. with good management.
would have drives three times the number of Spa.
biazds across the Continent of 4outh America."
