Rama of a Letter from Major- Gcneral Beresford to
Lord Castlereagh, dated Fort of Buenos Ayres;
th July, tsos.
I trust the conduct adopted towards the, people
here has had its full effeat,, in impressing upon their
minds the honour, generosity, and humanity of the,
British chara6ter. His Majesty's Ministers will see,
by the detail of our proceedings, that, after the Army ..
had, passed the Rio Chuelo, the City ofßuenosAyres
remained at our mercy, and that, in fad,. the only
conditions on which I entered were such as I pleased
to offer, and which humanity and a regard to our
national chargter would naturally. induce me to give
under -.ny circumstances.. However, to quiet the.
minds of the inhabitants, we not only
.consented to
put in writing ruy promises, but acceded' to many
conditions not expeCted by there; and, 'contrary to
dire& stipulations, gave up to the proprietors all the
Coasting Vessels captured, with their, cargoes, and
of which I annex a return*, and the value of which
amounted to one million and a half of dollars, and
which being done with the views already exposed,
will, I trust, meet with His Majesty's approbation.
I have the honour to inform His Majesty's Mini-
sters,. that I had detached Captain Arbuthnot, of
the 20th Light Dragoons, on-the 3d inst. with a
party consisting of seven dragoons and twenty infan-
try , (the whole mounted), to a place called Luxan,
fifty miles distant. My principal'objeat was to have
the country reconnoitred,' and to see what were, the
dispositions of the inhabitants ; but with the avowed
object of escorting ,track some of the treasure which
had been taken from here, and to prevent its foll6w-
ing the Viceroy, which I had reason to suspect was
intended, though it was said to,be all private pro-
perty ; and; in which case, we had declared, if
brought back, it should be given to its owners, if of
this City. Captain Arbuthnot .returned last night ;
and I am glad to say with information of a pleasing
nature;' for your Lordship will see, by this detach-
ment passing so easily through the country, that
whatever their present inclinations may be, there is
no very great danger from any hostile intentions
against us : and Captain Arbuthnot reports rather
favourably of the general dispositions of the people.
The country to Luxan, as I have already represented
in general. the whole of it, is a perfe6l flat, and the
view of the horizon. obstruCted by nothing but the
immense herds of horses and cattle, but principally
horned cattle.
Luxan is situated on a river :of
.the same name,'
and 'where there is a bridge over it, and the route
leading to all the interior provinces, and I rather
think it will he advisable on many accounts that I
possess myself of'it, Which I can do by a small de-
tachment. Much of the.treasure was caught a6tually
going to 'Cordova, and the rest, but for the oppor-
tune arrival of the, party,, would have been pillaged.
The Waggons conveying this treasure may be expeet-
ed here to-morrow. Those with the Royal treasure
and that of .the Ishillippine Company arrived some
time since, and. is already embarked. The Hon.
Major Deane, who is the, bearer of these dispatches,
will give any further information to his Majesty's
Ministers they may desire ; and I beg to recommend
"him as an Officer deserving any mark of favour his
Majesty may be graciously pleased to bestow on
him.

'tins been found difficult to procure the return of Ves-
sels here allud,:a to, at least the names all. They are of
various ciasscs, frorn iso tons downwards, and amount int he
whole to ao in Lualuer.
