Tait following AcCOUnt haS appeared in the Pr rtg-
mouth Paper :
" The military arid inhabitants of Bdetios Ayres,
attiounting to about 12,000 then, having organized
and armed thernselyes into a military body; 'attack-
ed the force under Major-General licatSkoitzi, con-
sisting_ of about 1450 nien, on• the t oth, 11th; and
12th days of August. The adions tinight tid the.'3e
dliys were bravely and • obstioately cont.c!ted ;' the
Spaniards fought approaching to a state Of fury ;
ninny of oar brave Men were killed and beat &Um by
superior numbers at the muzzle of their guns. ThiS
glorious defence vi-as attended with the loss on our
part of 144 men and officers killed and wounded, and
of 130(1 men taken prisoners, contrary td the express
Articles of Capitulation. The troops detained are,
700 ofthe 71st (Highland) tegiment; 150 of the St.
Helena corps,and the remainder, the Marines and the
brigade of seamen, part of which previously reached.
their Ships. General BERESFORD was detained. '
Captain KENNET, of the Engineers, and Lieutenants
MITCHELL and LUCAS, of the 71st regiment,. were
killed. The Spaniards loSt about ($OO men. • The in-
habitants of Buenos Ayres are computed at 70,000
persons; many of these fired from4khe tops of their
houses upon our troops as they were marching out
of the town.

" On the 2d of 06tober a reinforcement of be-
tween 2 and 3000 men arrived from the Cape of
Good Hope; consisting of the asth and 47th Regi-
ments, and 350 of the 21st Dragoons. On the 28th of
that'month an attack was made on Monte Video. It,
however, soon appeared that the Men of War could
not enter near enough to bombard the town with suf-
ficient .etled to cover the landing of the troops, al-
though they succeeded in silencing the batteries ; and
the attack was givien up. The troops were taken to
Maldonado, a strong post near the mouth of the Ri-
ver Plate, rendered impregnable by nature; the.
Island of Gotiti, which is strongly fortified by art,
protects it. On this peninsula our troops are secure-
ly and comfortably situated ; the men of war flank
, them on each side. The Spaniards, soon after they
landed there, Meditated an attack on them; but they
were so convinced of their hermetical situation, that
the Spanish troops refused to march against them.—
The enemy suffered a loss of about Go persons killed
and wounded, at the bombardment of Monte Video;
we had none killed or wounded. Our troops are
anxiously and ardently waiting there for reinforce-
ments from England when these, arrive, no doubt
Can be entertained (we are told) of their permanent
success, both against Buenos Ayres and Monte Vi-
deo.—lndeed, considering the great disparity of
toree, It is surprising that our 'troops were not all
destroyed. We lament to hear that many of our
brave follows lost their lives by assassinatiw. The
dishonourable condu6t of the Governor of Buenos
Ayres, in detaining our troops, and marching them
into the. interior of the country, after he had
signed the Articles of Capitulation, by which they
were to embark on board of Transports for Europe
or the Cape, is a new disgrace to their nation. No
_merchantmen had arrived. at Buenos' Ayres from
England when the Wellington sailed; the Justiana,
which was going on an' adventure-to Botany Bay,
and followed Sir HOME POPHANI from St. Helena to.
Buenos Ayres,. was anchored so high up the river
that was takm

" The Wellington sailed from Buenos Ayres on
the 4th of November, when the Diadem, Raisonable,
Lancaster, Diomede, Leda, Medusa, Howe, Protedor,
Encounter, and Rolla, were lying there."
