FrOM the Bueruis Ayres Gazette of the 15th of
May, it appears that u was still !..le seat bf in-

-4°oo men.; and the province of Potosi, with the
greater part of the country; still reulaiiied faith-
ful in their adherence to the Motier Country.
The province of Cdchabamba continued its col,-

people undeceived, and no longer the subjects of
delusion, will concur in s-:pportiag" the great

the 4th of March, Aba'scal, tired of striving

Lima to instal a Junta,. prov.ded the Presidency

BITENVS AYRES, MAY 8.-41 small squadron
is-
sued from Monte Via:to, with a view to destroy:
our batteries at Rosario : but it was mAnned by
Spanish seamen; and as soon as they approached
the_ Oint, and perceived that the enterprise was
accompanied with some danger, they 'abandoned
their project.
'On the 2d instant, the seamen. cf Monte-Video
celebrated the anniversary of the victims of Ma-
drid, by an. act of their nsual piracy. They
landed at Port Sarate with all their force, and had.
the pleasure of burning the miserable huts of its
inhabitants,' who Bed with their children, and
trilling effects, invoking the vengeance of the
country on these Normans of the 19th century.
Cowards l—continue your devastations,—wreak
your fury on the peaceable inhabitants of the
eastern bank, of the Parana ;—but woe to bites
who falls into the hands of a j.ustly-irritated peo-
ple , Nothing shall be respected. Your wi%:-es,
your children, yoUr property, all shall perish tin.

MONITS-VIDED, APRIL 18.--u-Our Government
kra i,Atie,l the full,,a4tis•Lificire.a
" Fellow Citizens ! the execrable Government
of Buenos Ayres has issued a decree, threatening
the horrible fate of pirates to our humane seamen;
it affects to describe Olean as greater savages than
the Normans ; and excites the hatred of the mi..;
serable people who obey that Government against
our worthy Chief. This scandalous and unpar-
donable order would justify us in at once depart-
ing from our wonted moderation, and renouncing
those sentiments of lanna.iity which have h:therto
directed our conduct. Assassins, and the viola-
tors of all law, are no longer the fit objects Cif
mercy. However contrary to our principles such
proceedings may be, they are dictated by just ven-
geance, and can only be considered as fair retalia-
tion. I aria persuaded that no one will dare to
execute the ferocious decree to which I allude 5
but should any one have the audacity to carry
into effect, then retaliation shall be inflicted on
all those who are taken by our soldiers, either ny
sea or land,-7-thit the rest may be aware of the
measures to which wcare compelled by the mon.;
strous conduct of their Governors.
