BUENOS AYRES.
By Buenos Ayres Papers of the rith May, it appears that
things remained in the same state. The Captain of the Real
Pedro had obtained possession of all the arms and some of the
munitions of General Lareßaja, and the latter had marched with
one thousand troops to attack the revolt:lu, wbo were near
' Uruguay.
BAYDA ORMWTAL.—EAEITERN PROF/NOES OF LA PI.ATA.
—The last intelligence we have been able to proure from ,good
authority, relative to the actual st.‘te of the Banda Oriental, gives
! us for result that the enterprise executed by the worthy patriots
who went from this city; is happily in progress. Montev4leo is
besieged by a regular force under the orders of the second in coin-
. mend under Don Frutos Rivera. Don BOtlitiClO Calderon. Colonic
!and Mercedes are also besieged by other detachments of the same
kind. The Orientalists continue to display an extraordinary en.
j thuslasm for the liberty of their province, and incessantly assemble
Ito fill up the files of their compatriots.
•
We have seen an order of the day by the principal chiefs of the
Oriental forces, issued at Bureaux, bearing date the 15th inst. It
is confined to recommending to the soldiers strictly to observe
order, and not to commit any kind of violence against the inha-
bitants of the Banda Oriental. The most severe penalties are im-
posed on the infratton of this order, and is most punctual and
exact fulfilment is recommended to all the civil and military
officers of the territory. This course is taken that the Orientalists
may see in the patriots, who have taken upon themselves so worthy
an enterprise, their liberators and friends, and not the destroyers of
their furturo• and lives.—Buenos Ayres Arcot, .lfcy 21.
The Gazrta de Coloodna, in announcing the appointment of 31r.
Clay to the office of Secretary of State, makes the following re-
mark :

" Our fellow-citizens will recollect, how much the cause of
American Independence and liberty is indebted to the liberal
opinions and active interest of Mr. Clay. The other ministers ap-
notated by Mr. Adams are also our friends. We may, therefore,
anticipate the continued friendship of the new American adminstra-
' lion."

The Congress of Peru, in consideration of the great assistance,
afforded that republic by Colombia, and induced by the rumour of
a projected invasion of the latter state, have decreed that the
Liberator shall aid it with troops, vessels, and armaments. For this
purpose, he is authorised to raise by loan 3.000,000 dollars. These
may be applied to the assistance of any portion of South America,
where required.
CITY, TUESD.? Evtwrwci.

As we anticipated yesterday, considerable anxiety pre-
vailed in the City this morning, and the British market,
at its opening, had a very languid appearance, which con-
tinued during the day, with the exception of a very slight
and short reaction, when Consols for the Account were got
up to 881. Many persons still adhere to the opinion that
Spanish affairs have a great deal to do with this decline.
It is obvious, however, that any circumstance referable to
Spain, tending to depreciate British Securities, must also
tend to diminish the already low value of Spanish Bonds.
It is our opinion that Peninsular Politics, as far as Spain,
at least, is concerned, have nothing to do with the sud-
den decline in Consols; but whilst the first brokers are
selling so largely as they have been to-day, others, in
following their example, without knowing why, are de-
sirous of giving some reason for their conduct. Money,
on the Stock Exchange, was quite as scarce as yesterday.
Consols opened for the Account at 871 1, then went up
to 88 871, and were afterwards done as follows-881 871 1.
For Money they were done at 871 11 4. Exchequer Bills
were at ss. 9s. premium.
In the Foreign Market the gloom was quite a great as
in that of the British Securities. Greek Scrip was at 164
16 discount ; and the Old Spanish Bonds at 221 : for the
New no price was reported. The Old South American
Securities declined from even yesterday's depression. Co-
lombian Bonds were done at 781 ; and Mexican Scrip at
71 4 discount. The new Guatemala Scrip, however, re-
mained firm at yesterday's quotation. Brazilian Scrip
was at 10 discount ; and the Danish Scrip at 7 discount :
this Scrip seems more affected by the present panic than
any other of the Northern European Securities.
'We need scarcely add, that the Share Market had as
little elasticity in it as the others that we have noticed.
Anglo Mexican Shares were at 60 to 65 ; and the United
Mexican Contpany's Shares, 17, 19. Pasco Peruvian
Shares were quoted at 81, 95 ; and those of the new Potosi
Company at 31, 4L
The Sugar Market was steady, although the business in
it was limited. Coffee prices, on the contrary, gave way,
and there were but few inquiries for Ruin.

The letters brought by the Java packet, from Batavia,
bring no political news, although thel are later by ten days
than the last arrival from thence. 'I hey are dated the 29th
of March, and merely state that shippiug is very scarce
there.

M. de Metternich intends to dispose of his fine estate of
Johannisberg, by lottery, on the 2gth of December. It was
given to him by the Congress of Vienna. The tickets are
nine florins each.
The Journal de Franl4brt of the 211 instant was re-1
ceived yesterday ; it contained s long extract from the
Oriental Spectator, filled with the most incredible and
outrageous falsehoods respecting the Greeks. The
islanders are represented as having had recourse to hu-
man sacrifices, in order to propitiate the favour of
heaven ! The renegade who conducts the Oriente
Spectator seems to forget that there is a limit to the zeal
with which the interests of his Turkish masters should be
served. No statement be may hereafter put forth in their
behalf will now be credited. The character of his Paper is
destroyed for ever.
A notification was published at Milan on the 21 inst.,
by the Austrian Government, stated to be for the purpose
of preventing any misunderstanding, by which the con-
travention of a previous notification, dated July 21, might
be attempted to be justified. The notification then pro-
hibits Austrian subjects from causing to be printed, in a
foreign country, any work, with or without a date, unless
permission be previously obtained from the office of the
censorship, under certain penalties. The prohibition is
also extended to the insertion of any article, long or short,
in a foreign journal.
The letters received from Trieste yesterday afford no
intelligence from Greece. The accounts from Leghorn
state a report of some Greek ships of war being given up
without fighting, but the rumour received no credit.
The Ex-Empress Iturbide, with several sons, are esta-
blished as settled inhabitants in Philadelphia. She visited
New York, it is said, with a view to her location there;
hut finding many reams to prefer this city, is now about
fixing herself here.—Piilad. D. Ado.
General La Fayette's claims under the late law of indem-
nity foe confiscated property during the French Itevolutioa,
amount, it is said, to six hundred thousand francs. Should
he . receive that sum—about one hundred and twenty
thousand dollars--(of which there is little reason to doubt,
as he comes within every principle of the provision)--it
will make a considerable._ addition to the donations of this
country, and render the decline of his life almost as af-
fluent as the commencement of it. It is understood that
he does tot go to France for a permanent residence there,
but intends to return agaiu to the United States.—Pliila-
delphio Paper.
Kit:ix/art ric.—The Quebec newspapers complain of
a system, lately introduced there, of seducing the soldiers
of his Britannic Majesty from his service, and enticing
them to enter the United States, where they arc promised
to he infinitely better provided for either as soldiers or
mechanics. 'the persons employed in this business, and
who make these representations, are said t 3 be decently
dressed, and in the practice of occasionally visiting taverns
frequented by soldiers, to whom they furnish clothes and
other facilities of getting across the lines. Men of good
characters, and who have been brought up to some trade,
are generally those thq have in view, from their being
likely hereafter to repay for the assistance they may re-
ceive. To avoid detection they choose an opportunity
when the soldier is unattended by his comradea, or any
third person, when they make the offer of a glass of grog,
and gradually introduce their object while itt conversation.

Calais is to be appointed a fortress of the first class, and
governed by a Maresehal-de-Camp, in the same manner as
Lisle, Metz, Strasburgh, Brest, and Toulon.
In consequence of representations made to Mr. Peel, the
execution of Pattern, who was to have suffered at War-
, wick last week, was on Tuesday stayed for one week. In
the mean time Mr. Stafford, the chief clerk of Bow-street
office, was directed to proceed to this town and minutely
investigate the circumstances of the case. Mr. S. was oc-
cupied on Friday last in the examiustiou of evidence at our
public office, and will of course make his report to the

THE DUCHESS DE BERRI.

CALAIS. A un. 28.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess de Berri ;rilved here
yesterday, having fur several days past been most anxiously
expected. The most expensive and extensive preparations
had been previously made for her Royal Highness's re-
ception by the civil and military authorities of this place;
amongst the former is our venerable Mayor, who had pre-
viously intimated that it was expected the respectable" in-
habitants should make the usual demonstrations of loyalty,
by decorating the exterior of their houses, exhibiting
branches of laurel, and the ordinary number of white flags.
Amongst the most attractive spots, and where the greatest
attention in this respect appears to have been paid, were
the Grande Place, Rue Royale, and Rue de Havre, which
were decorated with drapery, &c. at no inconsiderable
trouble and expense. The Hotel de Ville, of course, cut
the most conspicuous figure, in point of costly expenditure.
A garde d'l:onneur, composed of fifteen young citizens, sons
of the most reputable and wealthy inhabitants of Calais,
were in attendance to escort her Royal Highness from Mar-
'quoise ; they were dressed in moat splendid new uniforms
for the occasion. Upon the arrival of her Royal Highness,
about five o'clock, the Pompiers, or volunteers of the place,
were drawn out under arms ; the Mayor, Governor, Civil
and :Military Authorities, to the number of nearly one
hundred, were shortly afterwards introduced, and, at seven
o'clock, her Royal Highness proceeded to the Hotel de
Ville, where a sumptnous dinner was provided. His Bri-
tannic Majesty's Consul, Mr. Marshall, was, at the parti-
cular request of her Royal Highness, present on the occa-
sion. A military band was in attendance, and delighted
the numerous spectators by the execution of a succession of
the most favourite national melodies. Her Royal High-
ness subsequently attended the theatre, which had been
most tastefully fitted up for a public ball, where between
three and four hundred persons were present.
Amongst the most interesting features in the several tes-
timonials of respect paid to her Royal Highness, I had
nearly forgotten to mention one more particularly de-
scrying of notice—it was a selection of Ladies of Honour,
composed of six of the most respectable married ladies, and
the like number of maiden ladies, who were in constant
attendance. Her Royal Highness previously to sitting
down to dinner, appeared frequently at the balcony of the
Hotel de Ville, and was received by the assembled multi-
tude amidst the loudest demonstrations of respect. In the
evening the whole town was illuminated, and the spire of
the above-mentioned building, being decorated with 364
lamps, had a truly splendid effect.
This morning her Royal Highness, after having attended
Mass, visited the harbour, and embarked on board the
Due de Bordeaux, French Government steam-packet, and
proceeded to sea for about an hour, accompanied by the
Henri Quatre steam-packet, in which were stationed the
fine bawl of the Pompiers. Upon her Royal Highness's
leaving the harbour, and on het return, a Royal salute
was fired from the guns of Fort Rouge. Her Royal High-
ness subsequently expressed a wish to visit the Superb,
London and Calais steam-packet, Captain Black, R.N.,
which was instantly complied with. Her Royal Highness
and suite were received on board, and every particular re-
lating to that superior vessel explained by Mr. Saunders,
Agent to the General Steam Navigation company—the
whole party expressing the greatest adtniration of the ac-
commodation of the Superb, properly so called. Her
Royal Highness, after visiting the light-house, took her
departure for St. Omer, being escorted by the same guard
of honour as far as La Recousse, midway of Calais and
St. Omer.

The Earl and Countess of Liverpool arrived at Brussels
on the kith inst. Lord Sidmouth and his family set out
on the 19th for Frankfort.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer came to town yester-
day morning from Beckenham. The Right lion. Gen-
Liman attended a board of the Lords of the Treasury,
which was held at the Treasury Chambers, and returned
o Beckenham in the afternoon.
The French Ambassador transacted business for a con-
siderable time on Monday and yesterday afternoon at the
Secretary of State's oflicc for Foreign Affairs, i:t Dowuing-
street.

Mr. Salter, a Treasury 3lessenger, arrived in town yes-
terday front Brussels.
The luggage left by the Duke and Duchess of Cam-
bridge at the apartments of the Duke of Cumberland in
St. James's palace, was sent oil on Monday morning to
Hanover.

Yesterday morning the remainder of their Royal
Highness's household in London took their departure for
Hanover, to meet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Ramsgate and the warm baths are said to have improved
the health of Mr. Eilistou, so that we are not without hope
that by the period when Drury-lane Theatre is announced
to be opened, this favourite of the public will have suffi-
cient strength to resume the management.

carriage the veteran is often seen enjoying the fine sea
breezes.

Charles Mathews never was so successful in the country
as during his late trip. At Plymouth, at Exeter, at Glou-
cester, and at Cheltenham, the houses overflowed each
night of his performance; and at Birmingham, his benefit
night, acting in the regular drama, was more productive
than any other since the time of Miss O'Neil.
Terry and Yates, having completed the purchase of the
Adeiphi Theatre, are making great exertions to open it
with eclat. Much is expected from these enterprising ma-
nagers and proprietors, especially as they intend to act
themselves. This little Theatre will, we learn, this sea-
son, include more legitimate talent iu its members than it
has been accustomed to. Wrench is engaged ; and it is
probable that interesting actress, Mrs. Yates, will perform
there likewise. We most cordially wish them that success
which, we have no doubt, they will fully merit. They
are both of them men of superior talent, and they have had
much experience in the difficult art of conducting theatrical
establishments.

A new farce is in rehearsal at the English Opera House,
founded upon one of Washington Irving 's popular tales—.
Mathews is to be the hero of it.

MAJOR Aavax.—A pen sketch of a young gentlemen,
in'a sitting posture, executed by this unfortunate and gal-
lant Officer, supposed to be intended for himself, has been
preserved by an American Officer of the war of 1776, in
Newhaven (United States). It was sketched while he
was in prison, a short time previous to his death, and
is said to be very bold and spirited. It is about to be
engraved:

The rowing match for 100 sovereigns, a sweepitakes be-
tween Captain Smithson. of Ditton, and Messrs. Arnot and
Hutchinson, took place on the River yesterday. The dis-
tance was from the Red-mill, Battersea, to a boat moored
off Twickenham. Mr. Arnot took the lead, and was first
through Putney-bridge, when Capt. Smithson cut out the
work, soon get a-head, and kept it the whole distance. He
won.the match by more titan 30V yards.
