MONTE VIDEO, JUNE 10.—The Cockatrice
was detained for ten days at Buenos Ayres for the final ar-
rangement of a slave treaty between the Government of
that place and England. Every prospect of the blockade
being removed has vanished • it was thought that some-
thing preparatory to it would have taken place on the
25th of May, it being the anniversary of South American
independence; but it appears that Roses, the Governor of
Buenos Ayres, is stronger than ever, and the French are
becoming daily more unpopular; particularly so lately, in
consequence of their having burnt and totally destroyed a
fleet of small vessels, with their cargoes—a deed worthy
only of barbarous savages; they found them in a small bay
between this and Buenos Ayres, and were principally the
property of English merchants. The French Admiral is off
Buenos Ayres incognito. An expedition is fitting nut by this
Government against Buenos Ayres, under the direction of
the French, they both being united in the warfare. I
very much fear that the enterprise will be a very disas-
trous one, which is the general opinion also of the English
merchants at Buenos Ayres ; there is no doubt but that
every man who lands there will be sacrificed. Rivera, the
Governor, is in the interior, at the bead of the army, and
is becoming exceedingly unpopular, chiefly from the va-
rious predatory means he employs to raise money. Ex.
change, to within a very few days, has been very steady
for many months at 48d. the current dollar; but it fell on
June Ist to 45d. This in a great measure is owing to the
bast accounts from England, about bides in particular.
We hare had several mercantile arrivals lately from Eng-
land. The Anne was only 54 days, and there are several
vessels on the point of sailing for England. The Actaeon,
28, Captain Russell, sailed on the 28th of May for Buenos
Ayres. There is no English vessel of war here at pre-
sent. The French force here is pretty much the same ;
they occasionally state their expectation of troops being
sent from France.

• WEST INDIA.-We have to congratulate our
readers, and the inhabitants generally of this parish, on
the prosperous and pleasing state of agriculture in Tre-
lawney. It affords us infinite satisfaction to state, that
notwithstanding the numerous difficulties with which all
parties have had to contend, the crops are being rapidly
taken off, and some estates have finished a successful
harvest for the present season. In all probability, it will
bel,hown that the crop .of 1839 has exceeded that of the
preceding year in no inconsiderable degree, though,
upon some properties, there has been a great deficiency
—the result of bad management. The estates under the
supetiutendence of Messrs. Marrett, King, Edwards,
Scharsmidts, Murray, Morrish, and a few others, who
prefer mild instead of harsh measures, have succeeded,
we are informed, beyond expectation ; but we regret to
learn that those under the controul of Messrs. Jump,
(of scribbling notoriety,) Fry, Dexter, Carey, Frater,
M‘Laughlin, James, and Mitchell, have been conducted
with an unwise policy ; the consequence is that that the
peasantry employed by these gentlemen are dissatisfie,t,
and are anxious to locate themselves where they will
be free from oppression, and from the abuse so wantonly
lavished on them. Notices to quit have been issued by
wholesale for the purpose of frightening the people into
the acceptance of low wages at the conclusion of crop.
These iniquitous notices have made the labourers deter-
mined to purchase homes, from which they cannot be
summarily ejected, and thousands of pounds have been
already deposited by them in the hands of their Ministers,
for the purpose of carrying their noble and spirited
determination into effect. Messrs. Knibb, Clarke, Dex-
ter, and Dendy, have succeeded in buying large tracts
of land, and assisted as these reverend gentlemen will be,
by the West India Land Investment Company, in the
course of a short time townships will be built, and the
proprietors be made as they ought to be, entirely in-
dependent of their present employers. We therefore
warn those individuals who still cling with fondness to the
evils of the olden system, to be wise in time. If by harsh
treatment they drive the peasantry from their present
homes, they will have to pay ere long extra wages for
their services, end the ruin of the estates under their
management will be the inevitable result.—Falmouth
(W. I.) Post, June 5, 1839.

SCANDALOUS HOAX.--Some scoundrel has
been writing to the Union Hall Magistrates, in the name
of a respectable tradesman in Chance y lane, professing to
give information relative to the murder of Enst GrieLwood
in the Waterloo road. It is needless to say that the per-
son with whose name this unwarrantable liberty has been
taken knows nothing of the mysterious affair alluded to.

The Cambridge Independent Press states that
Mr. Spring Rice is to be raised to the Peerage with the
title of Baron Mount Trenchard.

" Horse Guards, July 17, 1839.
" Sir—l am directed by Lord Hill to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter of the 10th instant., enclosing
a copy of a letter which you had addressed to the Earl
of Cardigan, as commanding officer of the 11th Dra-
goons, complaining of some improper conduct in six
individuals holding command in that regiment, having
passed on horseback through the river, and amused
themselves in riding through your son's grass-land laid
in hay,' and that after some personal altercation on
their part, you bad told them they were black-
guards, and that you knew they were officers of the
11th Regiment.
" The Earl of Cardigan having been immediately
called upon for an explanations a copy of the answer,,
with a statement of one of the parties concerned, is
herewith transmitted to you.
" Lord Hill very much regrets the occurrence of any
irregularity in the conduct of those under his command.
and trusting that the steps adopted bythethEacraluosfeCaanry:

" Sir—l have this day, upon my return to Canter-
bury from London, received a letter from the Adjutant-
General, inclosing a copy of one stated by you to have
been addresed to me on the sth inst.
" I beg to assure you that I never received the ori-
ginal of the letter ; had I done so, I should have com-
municated to you my readiness to see you upon the
subject of the complaint you adduce against some
officers of the 11th Light Dragoons. I have only now
to add that I should be glad to see you at any time
the most convenient to yourself upon the same subject.
" I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" CARDIGAN,
" Lieut.-Col., Com. 11th Light Dragoons."
" J. Brent, Esq."

" Canterbury, July 16, 1839.
"My Lord,—l am honoured by a communication
from your Lordship, in reply to my complaint against
certain officers of the 11th Dragoons, informing me that
your Lordship does not think yourself called upon,
under all the circumstances of the case, to cause any
further interference in the matter.

"'After the receipt of this communication, I feel re-
luctant to intrude myself again on your Lordship's at-
tention ; still, in justice to my character, I am com-
pelled to do so, seeing that your Lordship's judgment
is made on an incorrect statement of the circumstances
of the case submitted, and which impeaches my veracity.
" I am favoured with the copies of two letters, one
from Captain Reynolds to Major Rotton, the other from
the Earl of Cardigan to the Adjutant-General.
" In referring to Captain Reynold's letter I beg to
state that the chief part of the statement is incorrect,
and as such I can show, by the most complete evidence,
and by credible witnesses. And first, the way the party
in question took was not in the direction towards
Herne-bay ;' for, after quitting my land, they were
found riding across a field of high grass at the back of
Hale's Place, and were practising their horses in leaping
over hurdles in the same field, some of which they
brake down ; that they were remonstrated with by a
respectable farmer on account of damaging his neigh-
bour's crop, and that they replied, well, if so we
must pay for it,' and rode away. Secondly, there is no
footpath across my field in question, nor any thorough-
fare whatever, which the parties well knew ; that they
did not even keep on the pasture, but broke into a field of
high grass laid in for hay, and, as can be proved by eye-
witnesses, rode several times backwards and forwards de-
maging the same ; and that they forced their horses
through the hedge in several places out into the lane
adjoining. On their return, the same way, I perceived
them coming through the river opposite to my house--;
and although it had been reported to me that six per-
sons had been trespassing, I should have taken no fur-
ther notice of the circumstance ; but seeing it repeated,
I thought it necessary to remonstrate with them, that
a recurrence might not take place. I civilly ac-
costed them with " Gentlemen, I think you cannot
be aware that you have committed trespass by riding
across that land: This was only met by a loud
laugh on the part of the first, who, I have bees
since told, was Lieutenant Reynolds, something
immediately being muttered, which I did not ex-
actly hear. I was annoyed by this behaviour, and said,
• I must request your names.' Mr. Reynolds said,
Snooks ;' and turning his head to those behind, said,
Tell him Snooks--come on.' rhis was a narrow place,
between an iron-fence and a brick wall. Cornet Bro-
therton then spurred his horse, with the intention, as it
appeared to me, of riding over me, and which would ,
have been the case had I not seized his horse by the
curb-rein, and held it until I got out of the way, he
spurring his horse, and nearly driving -the against the
wall. After this, I went up to Mr. Reynolds, and
said, Your conduct is disgraceful, my name is Brent ;
1 am a magistrate and a gentleman, and I insist upon
having your name.' Upon this being refused, I ap-
plied the term blackguards,' considering that the
attempt to ride over me, coupled with having com-
mitted a wilful trespass, and a refusal to tell me
their names, when called upon civilly to do so, fully
warranted me in using that epithet. I only meant
to apply the term to the two whose names I have
mentioned. And here, my Lord, I solemnly declare,
I did use civil and even courteous language at, first, and
that it was not until I was greatly provoked, that I
made use of the obnoxious term. With regard to Cap-
tain Reynolds, if he is the person who has been pointed
out to me, I can easily believe he heard no reply,
as he was at a distance when I first accosted Messrs.
Reynolds and Brotherton, and afterwards kept rather
aloof, only coming up when they rode off towards the
barracks. I could have spoken more decidedly as to •
persons, had the Earl of Cardigan thought it right to
have given me, as I requested of his Lordship, the names
of the six complained against. Of course they were
known to the sentinel at. the gate, who prevented my
entrance into the barracks. His Lordship, in his letter
to the Adjutant-General, on the 12th instant, says he
pointed out to me that the epithet blackguards, as ap-
plied to the officers, was objectionable, and that I justi-
fied the use of it.' I submit to your Lordship, that it
makes all the difference, at what period of the trans-
action the epithet' was applied, and I assure your
Lordship that I will most readily retract the term,
should, after a full inquiry, Lord Cardigan himself say,
that at the moment the objectionable epithet was
used, the previous conduct of the parties complained
against towards me had been that of gentlemen.
" His Lordship goes on to tell the Adjutant-Gene-
ral, that I told hint that nothing but a public apology
from the officers would satisfy me.' His Lordship
must have misunderstood me. I probably did use the
as I

oann.
ex-
plained, as I thought, to his Lordship, adding, that I
had not the least vindictive feeling towards the parties
individually.

" And now, my Lord, in conclusion, considering that
your Lordship's judgment has been made on Captain
Reynolds' statement to Major Rotton, the greater part
of which, upon the face of it, being incorrect, I call on
your Lordship to do me the justice of allowing me an
opportunity of disproving that statement, and substan-
tiating my complaint by direct evidence. I have the
honour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's obedient
humble servant,

" Sir,—The General Commandieg-in-Chief having
referred your letter, of the 19th instant, to the Earl of
Cardigan, commanding the 1 Ith Dragoons, for further
explanation upon the statement you have transmitted, I
have the honour to acquaint you, a reply has been re-
ceived from that officer, in which, adverting to several
circumstances in it wherein the recollection of the parties
against whom you have complained appears to differ
from your's, his Lordship has again expressed his regret
that any trespass should hare taken place on your pro-
perty, however unintentional, and that he had taken
measures to prevent any recurrence of it.
" Lord Hill, under these circumstances, cannot bur
feel that any further interference on his part must be
unnecessary.
