same day for New Providence. The Forte frigate, moved

Rainbow, 28, left for Bermuda on the 17th. The, Flamer
steamer arrived here on the 16th, and the Meteor steamer
on the 25th, from Barbadoes. The many idle stories of
the lass of the Scylla sloop_ of war on the Bahama Keys,
happily turns 'ont to be- untrue ; she arrived here on the
35th, with treasure from the Havannah, and-sails for Car-
thagena to-morrow, the Comus, 16, havinc, arrived from
that quarter on the 22d. The Skipjack schooner" left for
Chagres on the 18th, and the Pike schooner came in from '
Maracaybo on the 26th. The produce of thish islandsa for
'
the season up to August I,' 1835, is not o he.
of the preceding year by B,23l...hogsheads, 1,357 tierces,
and 109 barrels of sugar, and 3,640 puncheons of rum ;
this deficiency is the.subject of a message from the Gover-

The James Watt steamer, CaPtain Jamie Son, arrived
here on Tuesday morning, in sixty hours frOm Santander,
having landed horses and military stores there for the
Queen of Spain.. She left this port two days prior to
Christmas Day only ; she brings little or no news. The
Castor, 36; Royalist, 16, and Phoenix steamer, were at
Santaider ;. the Endymion, 50, at Vigo. Capt. Henry, in
the Queen's steamer, was gone to Bourdeaux for clothing-
and-ammunition.
We have received letters from Buenos Ayres, dated
September 6, by which we learn of the satisfactory state of
affairs in that province. The 26th y(..‘fir of the Liberty,-the
20th of Independence, and the 6th of the ,Argentine Cod-
federation, had been celebrated by three days' festivities.
—lt had been determined, that as the good state of the
roads to the principal entrances to the city was one of the
means of public prosperity, and one of the necessities of
the province, the Government would direct a paved road
to be constructed from the city to the town of Jose de
Flores. The new American steam-boat Potomac had ar-
rived, being the first seen in the port since the year 1825,
when the navigation of the British steamer Druid, was
stopped by the Brazilian war. There were twelve British;
five American, one French, two Hamburg, oneXlutch, one
Danish, two Sardinian, one Prussian, and three Brazilian
merchant vessels- lying there,' loading and unloading.
—His Majesty's ship Acteeon,. 2fi, Captain Lord
Edward Russell, left the River on the sth of September,
to return to Rio, and proceed thence to Bahia and P.
for the protection of the trade in those disturbed provinces.
The Buenos Ares Packet observes :--'1 We are, very
sorry for the departure of the Actaeon : the ()Ulcers, we
know, were universally respected here. Mr. Hamilton, the
British minister plenipotentiary, gave a grind ball on the
24th ult., to Lord Edward Russell and his officers. - Lord
Edward attracted considerable attention here, not only for
his being a scion of the noble house of Bedford, but that
he is the brother of Lord John Russell, of Reform Bill no-
toriety. His Majesty's ship Talbot, 28, Captain F. W.
Pennell, arrived on the Ist inst. from Rio, to relieve her.
She saluted the town with 21 guns, which was in like
manner returned."
The Melville, 74, at this port intended for the flag of
Sir Peter Halkett, is ordered to be fitted with all dispatch ;
she will be ready to receive men: in the course of the en-
suing week.
