Sti.—lmpreiscd with the deepest sense of gratitude for the
many services I have in often experienced from a generous public,
I beg leave most respectfully to inform them, that, encouraged by
their former liberality and kindness towards me, it is my intention
to tine a Benefit Concert at the Argyll Rooms, Regent-strett
To-morrow morning, the Bth of June instant. of which particulate
ave already adtertiqsl. A most severe and affiieting malady, under
which I have been long *suffering, and from whih., thank tiod ! I
am fast recotering, has been the means of considerably injuring
me circumstances, and of involving me in some difficulties. To
enable De to surmount these. and to guard against future casualties
of the same nature, some kind friends have genetuus'y stepped for-
ced to undertake the management of the intended Concert, in the
hope that it may be sufficitntly priductive as to relieve me from
iny present embarrassment. Must grateful, then, for this kind and
benevolent act., I beg ►eave once more most respectfully to solicit
the kind support and patronage of a generous public, to whom I
never yt t appealed in vain--on that I rest my hope of success; and
although it cannot he expected that I should still retain uni,npalred
these vocal loosen' I forrnetly mighi have possessed, yet there shall
be no effort wanting en my part to use my best endeavours for the
gratification of those who may be kind enough to honour me with
their presence.
With the greatest respect and gratittude,
1 have the honour to be, &c. &e.

Sir,—Do not encowvageany more emigration to this country, till
the war with Brazil is over at any rate. The Government, in their
present difficulties and exhausted state of funds, have it not in

has been upended in Soto& out a squadron. The Dutch end.
grants who were sent into Monte Video by the Brazilians are
actually 'wiring ; and it iv said that disease has much diminished
their numbers. Two hundred French emigrants have been cent
out of the River Plate by the Brazilian blockading squadron. The
emigrants sent by the Rio de la Plata Agricultural Association
have arrived safe in Buenos Ayres. and are well taken care of, but
it is at an enormous expense, and here they remain doing nodally-.

Other lettirs describe the blockade of theßiret Plate as having de-
stroyed the rising commercial prosy erity of Buenos Ayres and its de-
pndencies. The high roads in that country are the rivers, and
these are completely in the hands of the Brazilians. The commie:
ineatioa from one place to another is thus rut oil', and the ursusl
*apply of Oour, liquor. spirits, tobacco, and other foreign produce,
is wholly excluded. The corsequence is that foreign goods have
risen to three or four timea their former value, and living is now
twice as dear at Buenos Ayres as at London. The wee is said to
have been rashly provoked, without any preparations being made
for carrying it on, or foeethought of its consequences.
