" The Spaniards-, have dispersed Gen. BERESFORIi
nu& his men all over the country, three or foUr at a
place. Geh: 13AcKnousn, who commands Ma 167..
nado, received a letter frotri Gen. BERESFoRp a few
days since,' in which he says he is very Well; he is
aboutto Miles distant. The' Spaniards- Committed
the most.borrid cruelties on our men—such ns cut-
ting off their ears Sand wearing them as cockades;
stripping a man naked, and putting him in a ring of
forty or fifty, so that.each might have a, stab 'at him,.
—This we learirfron-i those who have made. their
escape.

" There are now 5000 Spanish troops encamped
about 18 miles front this place, commanded by Gen.
PIZARRo, who areexpe4ed to attack this place every
day.- The troops here are only 2300. The Spaniards.
iffe all mounted on not excellent horses,- of which
there arethousands in this country, and the best of
them may
.be, purchased for •two dollars. • They have.
a most curions!niethod of fighting, with a lona rope
and a noose atithe end, which they throw with the
greatest nicety 'to-the distance of 30-yards ;. it iSlas.•
tened to the saddle,;and; as soon as they have caught
their otijea, they gallop Off, and drag him to death
in five minutes. Several of our men have be©n taken
in this way. • •
" Admiral STIRLING, it is supposed, is -waiting
for a reinforcement 'from,„England to attack Buenos
Ayres again is expeeled 'to be very easily-taken;
but the difficulty will be keeping poSsessiolvof it.
" The, foraging-parties' that are sent out for cat-`
tie, generally bring in about two or three hundred at
a time. A cow and calf may be purchased here For
two dollars, which_ is,loo pet- cent. dearer than they
usually are ; meat we get at one penny per pound-,
very excellent tender beef—but no mutton, as sheep
are very scarce.";
