Extract of it Letter from Ma:isle-General Bemires& to the
Riot Honourable Lord Castlareagli, dated Fort of Buenos
Ayres, I Ith July, teat.
I trust the conduel adopted towards the people
here has had its full ace}, in impressing upon their
minds the honour, generosity, and humanity of the
British charafler. tlis Majesty's Ministers will see
by the detail of our proceedings, that after the army
had passed the Rio Chuelo, the city of Buenos
Ayres remained at our mercy, and that, in Taft, the
only conditions on which I entered, were such as I
pleased to offer, and which humanity, and a regard
to our national character, would maul:illy induce
me to give under any circumstances. However, to
quiet the minds of the inhabitants, we not only con-
sented to put in writing my promises, but acceded
to many conditions not expefted by them and,
contrary to direEt stipulation, gave up ,to the pro-
prietors all the coasting vessels captured. with their
cargoes, of which I annex a retut no', and the
value of which amounted to one million and a half
of dollars, and which being dune with the views
already exposed, will, I trust, meet with His Ma-
jesty's approbation.
I have the honour to inform His Majesty's Minis-
ters, that I had detached Captain Arbuthnot, of the
20th Light Dragoons, on the 3d instant, with a
party consisting of seven dragoons, and twenty
infantry (the whr•la mounted), to a place called
Linen, fifty miles distant. My principal objea
was to have tae catintry reconnoitred, and to see
what were the dispositions of the inhabitants ; but
with the avowed objeft et escorting back sonic of
the treasure which had been taken from bete, and
to prevent its following the Viceroy,• which I had
reason to sewed was intended, though it was said
to be all pri►ate property ; and, in which case, we
had declared, if brought back, it should be given
to its owners, if of this city. —Captain Arbuthnet
returned last night; and I am glad to say, with in-
formation of a pleasing nature ; for your Lordship
will see, by this detachment passing so easily through
the country, that whatever their present iticlieta-
tions may be, there is no very great danger from any
hostile intentions against us ; and Captain Arbuth-
not reports rather favourably of the general dispo-
tions of the people. The country to Luxan, as I
have already represented, in general the whole of
it, is a perfeft flat, and the view of the horizon ob-
strafed by nothiag but the immense herds of
horses and cattle—but principaily horned cattle.
Luxan is situated on a river of the tame name, '
and whet• there is a bridge over it, and the route.
leading to all the interior provinces; and I rather
think it will be advisable, on many accounts, that I
possess myself of it, which I can du by a small de-
tachment. Much of the treasure was caught aCtu-
ally going to Cordova; and the rest, but for the
opportune arrival of the party, would have been
pillaged.
The waggons, conveying this treasure, may be
expeded here tomorrow. Those with the royal
treasure, and that of the Philippine Company, ar-
rived some time since, and is all eady embarked.
The Hon. Major Deane, who is the hearer of
these dispatches, "till give any further information
to His Majesty's Ministers bit they may desire;
and I beg to recommend him as an Officer descry.

graciously pleased to bestow on him.
