" Sinn January, 18tO, the city of Berms Ayres has three
times stitnred under all the hn•rurs of a siege by their bro-
thers, the country laid waste, villages sacked, murder an I
rehire. yin she noon day ; and for what merely tonuppurt
the ambitious views awl pusiibminsous conduct of six er
eight people, who distrust e.wdo other, end who keep up a.
tolerable appearance only by command of mosey, and
from the ignorance of the lower class of people.
" The Federal Army of Saute Fe, assisted by the discon-
tented under the command of Doe Carlos Ink, and sumo
Utilises under Dor Juv Mrjtael Careere, made war agaiust
the Gnwernm•ot of Buenos A ;tree, sad approached so near
the town as to interrupt the daily communicatiou between
the city and its subjects; rails street was guarded with
cannon; the tops of busses taken possessios of by the mi-
litary; houses and stoics shut u. ; the churches appropri-
ated to the reception of women and children; every boar
obliged to sleep with pistols and swords by the bed.side,
Is short, we scarcely recullset to have winnowed- Owls real
misery and distress. These scenes are more lemestahle,
when, in the midst of them, you see the twins of the
Government cutting each other's throats fir power and
command; the Members of the Senate, renowned flir apathy
and want of talent ; their Generale wanting sot oily cora •
mon prudence but common courage, and nettle:-order nor
subordination among the troops (this pietism Is mot over-
charged), until about July last, when a Colonel Darer' was
appointed Acting Governor, and to command the army. He
succeeded a General Soler (a poltroon), and has succeeded in
making the Federal army retreat, beat them is some
skirmisbes, seat is a number of prisoners, sod eventually
pursued the enemy to within sixteen leagues of Santa Fe, and•
appareatly going os well, puttiug quite a new feature upon
things. What think you is likely to be the reward of this
said gallant Colonel, who has retrieved, in some measure,
the honour of the Buenos Ayrian anus, beaten the enemy,
raised the siege, restored to commerce a portion of its secu-
rities? Why, at this very moment, during his absence, a
party is making i■ the very essence of the Government, to
place another officer over Durrego in rank and power!
" You will scarcely believe it, perhaps, when I say I
have witnessed the very soldiers selling their arms and ac-
coutrements during the siege, and at the very moment
when, by an order of Government, every one hail been called
upon to furnish uoe male t and one horse for the use
of the Slate—l say at this very moment I have had army
accoutrements and horses offered me fur sale, at a price that
would hardly afford the vender a day's food. A Commission
has been uominated to try the Officers, Grty-two is MUM-
her, who have been sent in as prisoners (most of them in-
habitants of this town), and this very Commission is afraid
to act—afraid to do its duty
" A gale of wind came ou on tlse 19th ult.from the S.W.aud
lasted three days; 4b vessels, more or less, were destroyed
and injured, fifty-six lives lost, the whole coast covered with
wrecks; several English ships lust, amongst them the ship
Heftlllo4 brigs Trafalgar, Argo, Rover, Achilles, Ann, Dia-
patels—a most distressing and ruinous sight! The River
Plate rose fourteen feet higher than usual, the Mole washed
away, several bailees washed away, and the lard for miles
inundated."

By the West accounts from the West Indies,
the fever has been severely felt in Tobago, gar-
risoned by two companies of the 4th regiment, who
heroine so reduced by sickness, that early iu Sep-
tember two companies of the 21st finoleers were
sent to that island from Barbadoes. These last hail
no sooner arrived than they were attacked by the
fever, which proved fatal to Brevet-Majo► CAMS..
RON, Lieutenant LINDSAY, and Assistant-Surgeon
CoLvta. The latter fell a victim to his professional
exertions. Of the four regiments which sailed from
Portsmouth in 1819, the King's Own Its. suffered
the most, owing to the unhealthiness of the isliinds
that fell to their statiou, viz. Grenada, Trinidad,
and Tobago. They are now about to be moved
to Barbadoes, which is extremely healthy, and to
