EXtratc,l of a Dispatch from Major General Beres-
ford 'to Lord Cas:tlereagh, dated Fort of Buenos
Ayres, 16th, Jyty, 1806.
I alb now able•to transmit nearly an account of
the money which has been received as prize under
the terms of my agreement with the Ading Go-
vernor of
.the place, previous to my entering the
town. The statement shews the various depart-
ments and public bodies whence the sums forming
the total has been derived. The sum of 1,086,208
dollars is going home in His Majesty's Ship 'Nar-
cissus,. and Sir 'Home Pop'nam and myself have
thought it right to reserve here, for the exigencies
of the Army and Navy,, a considerable sum; and
for the purpOile of keeping, down the exchange on
bills drawn by the respedive services, and which
would otherwise bring the dollar to an enormous
price. It is estimated that the merchandize in the
King's StoreS, principallY Jesuit's bark and quick-
silver, and which is in the Philippine Company's
stores, with the little that is retained orfloating pro-
perty; will amount, if it can be disposed of, to be-
tween two and three millions of dollars. Of the
bullion delivered in, some is claimed as private pro-,
perty, and which shall be delivered in the same
spirit of liberality with which, we trust, it will be
considered we have 'aded here. The 61,790 dollars
were yesterday delivered to the Consuladi, on their
assurance only that-it belonged to the people of this
town, and they have.a upon , forty or fifty
thousand dollars more, which will be settled this day.
Total amount of monies, ,Sie received in consequence of an
' • - agreement on the 28th or One; L 866.
