,miles of Windsor. They remained in the School,'
and subscribed liberally to the Institution. This

,TER'S young men. .

Letters of a late date, we understand,, were. yes-
terday received from Buenos Ayres. The greatest
apprehension's prevailed there that the place, would
be shortly attacked by our forces. Most.of Mein-
habitants had retired into the country, few remain-
ing except such, as could assist. in defending the_
place. The Spaniards; it is said, were resolute in
their determination to resist our troops to the last..

The foll Owing is extra&ed froth The'lluit4et
of .Tuesday, received yesterday ; we insert it: with
'out comment.—" The ExpeditioniwhiCh:"hiveileft
our Ports, are now so far advanced in their vOYitge,
ihat we consider ourselves no longer precluded' from
cornmUnicating that intelligence of their destination
which,we have received from Officers :arid others 'of
the first rank and information, 211 d 'which, in our
qty ti rnind;-anionnts tO pdziltive. and absolute cer-
tainty. We believe our nrinaineints to:be neither
gone .to Bonlogne, not''' the
Helder: - Boulogne is impregnable, without prodi-
gious risk and loss.; and:.Antwexp is 'surrounded by
a most difficult country. The embarkations are not'
calculated for what military men term a corn de-main:
enormous mortars, anticannon.of the largest calibre,
with immense stores for sieges, and near, toot) ar-
tilleryo len, are 'embarked. We know that. an Otheer •
of Engineers of rank was sent for from Woolwich,
and employed, merely from his,. local. knowledge of -
the place of attack. The grand obje4 . of. our i2x7
peditlon, and a glorious one it-is, we confidently
pronounce, from information which, -has AltVef yet
deceiVed us, is solely and entirely to take possession
of the Island of Zealand,• of Cops.nhagen, :and. of
the whole Danish fleet and possession'
of Zealand, we have the key of the Baltic, so long as it
remains unfrozen; in our uncontroulable posses-
sion ; and not a vessel can stir out or in Avithout
our permission. Should BONAPARTE 'prevail upon
the Emperor ALEXANDRR ,to act: hostilely- to Or
'maritime interests, with this Island in our .hands,
we may bid defiance to all. the leagues and confede-
tacies of the Powers of the Baltic.' —Rua PciChet.
