~BUENOS ArI?ES, AUGUST" 3.

The wise Government of the Supreme Central
Junta already appears to dawn in ihis vast and power-
ful empire—a country which has hitherko beencor-
rupted by intrigues, and by the evil designs of those
who have. b6en invested with authority among us.
No department has felt more the miserable etfeeas of
these political vices than the commercial. All the
best principles of the Mercantile interest have been
abandoned, and the disorders which must neces-
sarily.attend. such a stale of things have been occa-
sioned. . .

In this deplorable condition were affairs in these
rich' provinces until .the 30th of June last, when at
,themoSt seasonable 'period, to restore us to our me-
ridian
.Splendour, .arrived D. Baltasar Hidalgo de
csnerOs,, Vigeroy of these Provinces, in the frigate
Proserpitn'. This worthy and honourable Chiet,
who has conferred so much, benefit. on the nation
(iring hiS:Governnient of Carthagena, has come
among us, to be the depository of the confidence of
the Supreme Central Junta„to convert irregolarity
into method,, and essentially and principally to, direct
his views, and to employ his power for the protee-
lion and atigmentatien 'of , our commerce. In the
few days he has resided here he has attended to this
primary ()hied of his mission, by giving directions
that all foreign ships, whether belonging to England
or elsewhere, should withdraw frOm our pOrts ; and
he has ,begun •to put in activity the laws by whi'dh
the Indies hive been hitherto gOverned. By such
means. the merchants will be restored to their pri-
viiegeS, and will be enabled topUrsue With advan-
tage their occupati,ms, under those early maxima'of
policy by which the prosperity of these countries has
been secured..

PROCLAMATION

OF D. BALTASAR'HIDALGO DE CISNEROS Y LA TORRE,

KNIGHT 0:F THE SPANISH °llan oP CHARLES THE

THIRD, VICEROY OF THE PROVINCES OF RIO DE LA
PLATA,- AND ITS DEPENDENCIES, &C. TO THE
LOYAL INHAEITAN'TS OF BLTENus AYRES.

FAITHFUL AND GENEROUS NEIGHBOURS AND
INHABITANTS OF BUE.NOS AYRES.

The'ahundant and sincere expressions of, joy that
you have manifested, from the. wonietit.of my Tirri-
val in.the august capital of the Viceroyalty, afford me
the most decisive.proof of your incibie" loyalty,
and of the sentiments of bottonr by which you are
animated. In these I discover the ',ll6inage which
you offer to the Sovereign - :Nlaje:ty which I repre-
sent,
.and she liveliest feelings of your tendevregard
for our Monarch.- It shewss me, that if you posseSs
his reverence, for sue, who am only ids shadow, it
is on •accourif-of your profound 'resptqi for the sub•
stance twin whicrh that shadow is y.r jecied, which
ven,2ration his al,eays .been - in periett c•mistency
with your chaN.:.:ler and conduct. •Finally, it give's
mean autnehtic'proof -of the noble:enthusiasm that
reigns in your bus ,ms, of.) our firm adherence to the
great cause in which the parent state is engaged-,
and or all the social.virtues which- adorn you in your
respective siations. Such is tile Sburee, and such
are.the effects of these extraordinary demomonstra
tions of joy, which have exceeded all my expeCta-
(ions.

I should be deficient in. my duty, if, undetthese
circumstances, I did not
,acknowledge the gratef:il
seosibilityrand - warm satisfaction which these. af-
feeting.inclications of yourdisposition have.produced
in thyself. ,Nothing. can ever efface from- myme-
mory the delight I experienced on the night of the
30th of of -June. What' a magnificent spectacle to
every man capable of appreciating the sentiments of
the heart, -to see a numerous people composing all -
classes of society, impelled only by 'their fidelity,
haltening to tender their voluntary-services id -terms
the most affecting,. and accompanied by every mark
of loyalty, in the presence of the representative of ,
their beloved Sovereig,irr The tyrant wild oppresses 1.
.I.ls, can never enjoy such a scene of' delight, .witli all
lais .pomp and•circumstance of splendour, his pUblit
entries and his triumphs; because, byltrorce and vio-
lence he can extort only cold and feeble applause,
while yours is_the natural result of. the impassioned
attachment, and ardent loyalty which you bestow on
the memory, of your .augusz PrinCe. Do not-doubt
it, this act of yours, simple as it appears under all
its character of energy, has nothing to do with os-
tentation and vanity, but as being the ingenuous
manifestation of yotir loyal sentiments, it is the im-
penetrable wall to he opposed to the assaults of the
enemy. In vain will he endeavour to seduce you by
his artifices, or to ciebilitateyour strength by spread-
ing the seeds of discord among 'you. The impo-
tence of _1)14 authority, and the inefficiency of his
malicious expedients, will shew to the world, that
Buenos Ayres is not the country where perfidy can
hold her 'residence. . I assure you, with all that,
• frankness which belongs to my -charaaer, that I
have the most perfect 'confidence in your loyalty,
and that I am firmly persuaded that I have nothing
to apprehend front. those
.rile agents which the ene-
my of our liberty distributes. every where,' for the
malignant purpose of imposing upon the unsuspect-
ing integrity of mankind. It his audacity should
pretend to violate your happy soil iii, his ottensk.e .
vermin, you will yourselves be vigilaiA to discover
and to destroy it:
To this gratifying refletSion„ which you so justly
deserve, I may add ailoiher 'equally desirable., I din
not less persuaded that the-concord and , unity:of
your sentiments will be the stable support of 'my
Government, than that' your subordination •tOlegiti-
mate authority will give new vigour and ne'w energy
to .the.expedients of security circumstances require,
fa. ~d that all, ranks among this generous people,

_mated with the.saine atiCi hall of the same
err-
Utusiasm, will swear with me 40.(1c.tenti,.-t0 the higt
snoinent of their exi3tence, the sacred rights of our
beloved Monarch Ferdinand the Vllth. Live then
tretiquil and happy., and rely always upon my must
siUerZ, and cordial 'endeavours, by-all the means in
my 'power,to augment your telicuy.

Bermondsey (in which parish the Institution began,
in t 702) -by the Rev. Samuel Crowther, Vicar of

Queen and Family, and other loyal sentiments, Were

" Success to the Asylum for the Deaf and Dunn),"
it was received with that unbounded applause which
strongly marked the humanity and benevolence of.
the- assembly. Indeed this Institution is altot;ettler,
in its rise and progress, one of the most striking
instances ot the charaoteristic benevolence ot the
age and nation in which it has been eslAbiished.—.
Near seventy children, male 'and ' ternale, now
pupils.in, the new Asylum, were intrpthleed, and
conduaed round the room, shewing specimens 'Of

A Letterfrom AntWerp, of.the 20th ult. contains

England kept us in 'a constant state of alarm during
the whole period of its remaining in the Scheldt.—
The inhabitants were all assemided en Wasse, and
prepared to
,make all the resistance in their power.
To this day 2000 men seleaed from among the in-
habitants of the town are on a6tive duty, and 1000
more are occupied in the preservation of peace and
good order. On the sth instant we received the
joyful news of . the 'departure of the BritiSh troops
from all the places which had been occupied by
them in Bouth Beveland.

On Thursday last, a mad dog ran through Shaltns-
ford-street, Canterbury, from whence he was pur-
sued by several persons‘to Rhode Farm, Where they
overtook and-killed him. The animal bit four hogi at
Ends-end Firm, and aft4rwards bit a horsc and se-
veral-pigs, at Rhode Farm ; as he came from the
place, one of the pursuers missed a blow he aimed at
the dog, who seized him by the shoulder, from
which he took a piece of flesh, but was secured by.
his opponent, who caught him by the throat, and
with the assistance of his companions, succeeded in
killing him. The man who was bitten, had the
lacerated part cut out afterwards by a surgeon.
John Cheesemani one of the ten persons executed
last year at Botany Bay, was sentenced to l?e hung, in
Canterbury for a forgery on the Bank of that city
some years-since; but his sentence Was afterwards
mitigated to transportation for life, -While under
Seiitence ordeath at Canterbury, he effected his es-
cape from gaol, by letting himself down, from one
