BUENOS AYRES.

The following intelligence respecting Buenos
Ayres, and the revolution which had taken place
there, is from a Boston Paper of the Ist May. ft
was brought by the Constellation United States'
frigate, which sailed from Monte Video on the 29th
February with the rest of the American squadron.
" The troops of the Etat,. Rios and Santa
under the coalman(' of General Ramirez, load at-
tacked the Buenos Ayrean army under General
Rondeau (the Director) on the lst of February,
and defeated it. Roraima, with Ina tinny, occupied
a position within 92 league. of Ayrev.

Ayres were in a confused st.ite. The Government
was, in fact.ds.-olvrd. An effort had previously been
made by the r..ogress and Director (ad interim) to
negotiate with R.norez, and hash, for that purpose,
chosen Deputies; but he refused to recognise the
authority of the Congress, or to treat with the
Deputies, declaring, however, that if the people
would appoint a new set of rulers, free of the in-
fluence of Puerrydon, he was ready to treat with
them. Twelve electors had been appointed of per-
sons of probity and credit, who had re-elected the
Cavildo, and had chosen Don Manuel Serrates
Governor of the Province, and neynciations were
to be immediately entered into with Ramirez. Al-
ready-friendly communiestioas hid passed between
the present Commander of the Buenos Ayrean
troops, General Eatanisleus Soler, and General
Ramirez. The constitution will be revisest, and
it is expected a Federative Government established,
which has long been the wish of the other pro-
vinces; hut some time will elapse before the poli-
tical commotions in that part of South Atnerica
will be settled, or the people become qualified to
appreciate the blessings of rational liberty.
" It would appear that this civil war has been
rather a persoual one of Puerryilme. ; he co-ope-
rating wjth the Portuguese to annihilate Artiga.,
who is defending the coustry igainst the n„ just
encroachments of the Portuguese luta the territory
called the Banda Oriental. which foe malty years
they have been desirous of possessing."

LONDON,
SATURDAY. Jim 3, MO.

The Marquis of LANSDOWN alluded yester-
day evening in the House of Lords to the recent
failures of the Cork sad Limerick banks, und to
the consequent stoppage of all trade whatsoever
throughout the south of Ireland, where the notes
of tinese batiks constituted the principal part of the
cir,:ulatitig medium. The distress caused by. these
failures in that past of the empire cannot be con•
ctived by comparing the circumstances accompany-
ii.rg them with any events of a like nature which
sitar have occurred in this country, because the
void that may have been caused in any part of
Englund in the circulation by the failure of •
parti7.ular bank, was Waif supplied by the notes
of the Bank of England, or of some neighbouring
private bankers, and very little, if any distress,
Was occasioned beyond the losses sustaioed by
individuals holding notes of the bankrupt firm.—
But the failure of three books in Cork and
Limerick, almost simultaneously, stops in an in-
stant the whole currency of the south of Ireland,
which cannot be supplied by the few,private banks
remaining, because in them all coufideuce is de-
stroyed, and the notes of the Bank of Ireland have
never circulated there to any considerable amount,
and cannot be increased with sufficient rapidity to
answer the demands of the country, as the company
will not, of coarie, issue their Holes without NOE-
cicnt security. We learn indeed from private let-
ters, that a feeling approaching to despair seems
to prevail throughout that part of tie country, and
that innumerable mercantile bankruptcies must
ensue unless some assistance be offered by the Go-
sertinieut. Of all these circumstances the Marquis
of LA NSDOM`II was fully apprised when he drew the
attention of the Ministers yesterday evening to the
snbject, and we are happy to learn from Lord
LIVERPOOL that the Government are resolved to
pay every attention to the subject whenever it shall
be officially notified to them. It seems, however,
that the faculties of Ministers are benumbed until
this official communication shall be made, and
tl t gh perfectly aware of the circumstance they
cannot act. Is not this sacrificing too much to the
forms of office
A diecntsion of considerable length and of much
interest took place last night in the House of Com-
mons io the Committee of Supply as the Military
Establishment of the country. In the Ordnance
Estimates there appears so isicrease, as compared
with the service of the last year, amounting to
liabout 133,000. awl in the Army Estimates a still
greater increase of about 224.0001. The House.
however, agreed to the Resolutions proposed ou
these points by Mr. WAR° and Lord PALMERSTON
respectively.
The Cll4 pi c 13.L0a of the EXCHEQUER, at a late
hour, gore notice that he would on Friday next
submit his Budget in the Committee of Ways and
Means.

The private letter, Gain the south of Ireland,
recri•.ed ytsterday, abound with details of the ex-
ireisie distrts• produced by the recent failures.
One house concerned in the stuff manufacture,
which had 30,000/. in one of the Cork banks that
failed, has since discharged 130 workmen.

It is stated in advice, from Hanover, dated the
20th of May, brought by the Hamburg's Mail
which arrived lut that his Royal Highness

the bake of CAMBRIDGE is preparing to attend ilia,
Coronation of his Majesty GEORGE IV. in Lawton,
but that he will not be accompanied by his Royal
Consort. Her Hoye! Highness will, in lii% alb.
evict.. proceed on a visit to the Court of Ca.sel.

New York Papers to the 27th of April, and
Boston Papers to the Ist of 51.1 y, have arrived.
The new Tariff Bill has been taken into considera-
tion by the House of ItepresentatiVes, but the
opposition to the principle of the measure is PO
very considerable, that it is generally believed dist
the Bill will not pass into a law. Mr. LIVERMORE
submitted a motion,for discharging the Committee
from all further inquiry into the Bill; but it was
lost by a majority of 25. Ilia reasons for the
motion were, that *, the object of the Bill WHO to
change the whole revenue system, and to change it,
in his opinion, for the worse. The time, ton, for
making the experiment was, of all times, the most
unfortunate, at a moment when it was known the
Treasury was drained to the very dregs." These
arguments were not• held suffiTiently conclusive to
induce the Legisi'alure to abandon the measure,
ais.l, accordingly, on the 22d of April, the House
of Representatives .formed itself into a Committee
upon the Bill. Many Members of Congress were
ready to give aid to certain manufactures, such as
cotton, woollen, glass, paper, iron, ludo, &c. but
not disposed to replace the deficit of revenue which
this would occasion by heavy duties on articles of
the first necessity. The Loan Bill was expected to
pats; but if Congress bo resolved to enact the new
Tariff Bill, and thtreby diminish the produce of
the customs, the contracting of a new loan in the
present distressed state of the fiances of the
Union must be followed by the imposition of new
taxes.

Very contradictory statements are to he found in
the American Papers, upon the subject of the
Treaty for the cession of the Florida.. In the Bal.
tiniore Patriot of the 26th of April, it was affirm-
ed that the negociation is at an end, and that the
Sp.inish Nlitoister was to leave SVashington in the
last week of May, on his way home ; while in a
New York Paper it is alleged, on the faith
of a rumour prevailing in the city of Washington,
that the ratification of the Treaty by Spain had
been received in that city by the President, and
that a communication to that effect was to have been
made to the Senate on the Reit day of its sitting.
We should, however, suspect that neither of these
statements is correct. It is very probable that in-
structions have been given by the Government of
Spain to its representative, General VMS. that the
Government of Washington should be officially ap-
prised of the changes which have recently taken
place in the Peninsula, and that by the law of
Spain the KING is disabled from ratifying any
Treaty for the cession of any portion of the
territory of the monarchy without the concurrence
of the Cortes ; and in consequence that the Cabi-
net of Washington should be requested to withhold
its claim upon the Florida. until the affair had
been submitted to the Cortes, and the opinion of
that assembly taken. It of course would remain
with the Government of the United States to deter-
mine whether it would acquiesce its this proposal ;
hut it is not probable that the PRESIDENT would
be so deficient in ordinary courtesy as not to grant
this indulgence, esr.ecially as from the state of
Spain lie must be aware that the delay could in no
respect affect the claims of the Union upon the
Florida.. The foilowilig paragraphs contain the
statements to which we have alluded :-

IVashington in a few days on his way home. Con.
gress will receive a message on the subject to-
morrow or next day."
