King Leopold will leave Wiesbaden on the Bth of Oc-
tober, and will arrive at Brussels en the 9th, in the
evening. His Majesty s health has been much improved
during, his stay at Wiesbaden.
VIENNA, SEPT. 24.—Priccc, Metternich returned
yesterday, and with him the confident expectation that
notwithstanding all the existing difficulties, peace will
not be disturbed. The fortifying of Paris will probably
lead the German Confederation to take a final resnlu-
tion about the fntifylng of Ulm and of the tipper
Rhine, which can hardly be delayed much longer.
THE HAGUE, OCT. 3.—The Java Courant of the
3d June contains the melancholy news of the death of
Lieut.-General Ecrens, Governor-General of our Indian
possessions.

AMSTERDAM, OCT. 2. Some Belgian Papers,
speaking of the report of the King's intention to abdi-
cate, express their opinion that his Majesty intends to
marry again. We are assured, on good authority, that
his Majesty has no such intention.—Hendclsblad, Oct. 3.
The Dagblads says :—" A report was spread yes.
terday that his Majesty intended to resign the
Government to the Prince of Orange. The
report keeps its ground to-day, and people con-
nect with it a council of Ministers and the meeting
of the Council of State, which took place to-day ;
and also the departure of the Prince of Orange and
the Hereditary Prince to Loo, where they are to
have an interview with the King, and where Princess
Albert of Russia is also expected. It is thought also
that the errival of his Excellency Lieutenant-General
Fagel from Paris, who accompanied the King to the
Loo, was connected with his Majesty's important reso-
lution. It is slid, too, that the Ministers and the
Council of State aro ordered to repair, on Wednesday
next, to the Loo, where the solemn abdication of the
throne in favour of the Prince of Orange will take place.

ATROCITIES IN 13U-ENUS AYRES.

(From the Southern Whig.)
MURDER OF BRITISH SUBJECTS.—A Belfast gen-
tleman, who resided for some time in Buenos Ayres,
has placed before us private letters which he has re-
ceived from that country. The writers, he assures
us, are persons of undoubted respectability.
"eßueslos AYRES, MAY 13, IB4o.—We remain in
the same predicament as when you left us blockaded
by the French. This has reduced commercial transac-
tions to the lowest ebb ; in fact, business is in a state
of complete stagnation ; nor have we the least apparent
prospect of better times. Our only hope is in Lavalle,
who is at present at the head of a large and well-disci-
plined army, composed of the most respectable people
in this country, and who at present is in possession of
Entre Rios. Such is the state of things here, that
many of our British countrymen have lost their lives.
Amongst them is the good and industrious O'Neill.
Many have their wives and daughters debauched before
their own eyes ; and, notwithstanding the power
and respectability of our Government, not one
of these, our injured countrymen, has been able to
obtain, through the medium of our Minister,
the smallest redress, after many and repeated solicita-
tions. A great number of our old friends have been
obliged to emigrate from tbis once flourishing country,
to Monte Video."
We proceed to give an extract from anethe letter.
The details arc of the most revolting character :---
" BUENOS AYRES, MAY 16, 1840.—Now, respect-
ing the political state of this unfortunate country—it is
not more deplorable to relate than it is true. I will give
you a sketch of facts. First, I shall refer to the case of
Dr. Maza, the most eminent lawyer in this country, and
Rosas' old schoolmaster, but lately head Judge of the
Camara, President of the House of Representatives,
Minister of Government, and President of a Lodge
lately established by Rosas, entitled the Masorca. This
Lodge is composed of Rosas' confidential guars; who are
accustomed to perform the most cold-bloods; murders
by his orders. Rosas, with six of these men, went to
the House of Representatives at six o'clock in the
afternoon, when Maza was writing his resignation. Rosas
was the first who plunged a knife into his heart, whilst
the others advanced, cut his throat, ripped the flesh off
his face, and butchered him. At twelve that night his
son, Colonel Man, an esteemed officer, was shot, with-
out trial. Father and son were thrown into a Policia
(police) cart, that night, and committed to the damp well
in the Recolets (the place into which the bodies of
traitors, murderers, &c , are cast.) Baron de Astrado,
Governor of Corrientes, was also slau'ghtered by Rosas'
party ; his skin was taken off, and bridle-reins and mane
(a strop of fetter) made of it, of which a present was
made to Rosas, and he received it as a gift. These ar-
ticles his daughter Manuelita Rosas rides about with,
to show her murdering courage. In the qusrtell (Mr-
racks) of the Indian Colonel Cuetinos, they shoot none;
but have a post in the ground, where the prisoner is
placed against it, standing, whilst an Indian holds him by
the hair of the head, and another Indian gives him so
horrible a gash on the throat with his knife, that he
expires instantly. This plan was adopted, as the peo-
ple left the neighbourhood from the constant shooting.
The elks, at night, were frightful. Three weeks ago,
Rosas shot and cut the throats of fourteen rich and
respectable men ; the following day he slaughtered six-
teen! Rosas' most staunch supporters, in the South,
revolted against him; and, in that revolution, many of
cur industrious countrymen lost their lives and pro-
perty. Among them was poor James tI. Neill, though
he had the greatest confidence in Rosas' government.
Forty soldiers, armed with balls, lassos, carbines, and
lances, came to his house, from their encampment,
which was near ; these slaughtered O'Neill, in a dread-
ful manner ; but, luckily his wife, with her little children
escaped to a thistle mount. The next day, she went
to the encampment, to Rosas' brother, the General-in-
Chief, Prudencio Rosas. He gave her no satisfaction.
A Mr. Watson and his son were also tied, and both
were severely stabbed, beat, lanced, and, what is more
horrible, his old wife and three daughters were held,
hands and feet, by officers as well as soldiers, and
abused in presence of all. This is Rosas' war-
fare ; and what is more painful to relate,
her Majesty's Minister is hand-and-glove with
these assassins ; and there is no redress, what-
ever, for any man's life or property. Two weeks ago
some respectable men were murdered, under the British
Minister's house, while vsaitine for a boat, to escape from
this tyrant. One hundred and fifty infantry and cavalry
of Rosas' own body guard, came on them ; some of the
unfortunate men begged to be allowed to write to their
wives ; others, on their knees, before their assassins,
prayed for pardon, but all in vain. They cut their
throats, and the flesh from their dead faces, after strip,
ping them naked and disfiguring their bodies in the
most dreadful manner. One of them was a Colonel
Lunch and another Charles Mason, Englishmen's sons,
who were brought up in the service. An officer
named O'Linda, Riglos, and Cosmey, were amongst the
sufferers. When they threw them from the cart, at
the Policia door, the assassins again abused, with their
knives, the dead bodies. All took place at half past six
o'clock in the evening. The English Minister, and
Captain Russell, of her Majesty's ship Actaeon, with a
Dr. Lepper, heard the cries of these poor fellows, all of
most respectable connections. Minister Arrana shoe. d
to Mr. Slade, the American Consul, 80 ouncrs of
gold which was taken from these men. Those mur-
derers returned to Rosas' house, showing their sabres
smeared with blood, and telling how they cut the throats
of those Unitarios. Rosas' only daughter, overjoyed
at the good deed, told them they should not wash their
hands until they took matie (a species of beverage)
with her, which they enjoyed in lauehter.

HOP INTELLIGENCE, WORCESTER, OCT. 2.'
—The
planters supplies at market on Saturday last were
very limited,
which is proof of the scarcity of Hops in their
hands, as the public scale returns show that only 28 new,
and 38 old pockets were weighed, with the exception of 9 '
new, and 141 old. in the week. A fair quantum of busi-
ness was done by the trade, and at the close of the Market
many loads of Hops from their stocks were forwarded to
the country buyers. The Duty is still estimated at 1201. to
1501., and many think the former sum will be nearest the
amount paid. All fine Hops keep firm in price, and are
much in demand at the following quotations, but some
ferior sorts are obtained at ss. cwt. less (more partioularly
the new ones) than they were a fortnight ago.. Present
currency, per cwt. :-1839'3, from 140 s. to I6os. ; fine and
choice, 170 s. to 1903., 1837'5, from 100 s. to 1305.; 1836'5,
and 1835's from 70s. to 955. Worcester 'Jerald.
We take this opportunity of contradicting the
rumour that the stockings belonging to Misters had been
discovered sewed up in the bed, and satu ated with blood.
