BUENOS AYRES.

There has been so much of variance and contra-
:dietion inAhesaccounts lately received from thellio
de Plata, that it haS been difficult to form any opi-
nion on the state- of affairs in that pan el Ametica.
'We have, however, received advices from :Buenos
Ayres to the 23d of November, which may be re-
lied upon as possessing. an authority equal to Offi,-
cial. The)' completely „confirm the defeat of the
Portuguese division by General Artigas, and the
submission to the sovereign authority of the corps:of.
Patricios, the insutrettion which was suppressed by
the troops that were faithful to the Junta. , Our ad-
vices also.conlirm the total rout of the best troops of
General Goyeneelie, whO is surrounded in Chir-
guisaca, and has his retreat to 'Lima. cut off by a
large army. The troops of Buenos Ayes, united
with the. aboriginal Ameticans, who 'have, at • la,t4
declarea•for the patriotic party,.have not only taken
the city of La Paz by assault, -but have also recon-
quered Cochabamba, Tarifa, and Tupiza.
It has lately been stated in some papers, that after
General Puuredon had.proceeded with. the. Ex -.Pre-
sident of Buenos Ayres, Saavedra to Chill, tie,
Eurbpeaus there had, by a sanguinary counter-re-
volution, destroyed the patriotic Junta of that king-
dom, and again reduced it to a state of subrnission to
the Mother Country. • These staternents are, lit,w-
ever, altogether erroneous : First, because .General
Puirredon, who -has performed great services for:
Buenos Ayies, vas in November employed in or-
ganizing a considerable army in Tujui, in which
GLineral Moldes was to assist. Secondly, because it
ix. authentically known, from the. repre,sentation
made in August last by the American Deputation to
the Cones of Spain, (of . Which there are copies it>
this country,),that the junta of Chili, which was
formed on the 18th of September, 1810,. was re-
cognized by the COnts, who .sent out regulations
for that Government.- C,:nsequently, if the Euro-
pean -Spaniards have overthruwn the Junta of Chili,
they, not those who oppose them, are the insurgents
and rebels. •.

- The letters from Buenos Ayres also state, that.
M. Perdilla, 'who was formerly etuploy-ed as d.
de-
puty liorn that Government, in Loudon, having in-
tercepted a Diplomatic Conespondence_addressed to
Don Moreno; and encleavpured to convey it.to. Saa-
vedra, had been detained and proceeded against by
the Junta.,

A letter, dated Frenada, February 06, containg,
the following statements So much are the Re-
ge,ncy and Cortes pleased with. Lord WpLONGTON,
particularly with, his late,capture of Ciudad Rodrigo,
that the
.greatest hopes are entertained of a total
change of the face of affaiis, winch look better than
ever they hive done hitherto, though the Spaniards
have not army in the field. They are now about
to confer on. Lord WELLINGTON the military direc-
tion of the affairs of the Peninsula,. who will orga-
nize an army, as he and Marshi4 BERESFORD have
dune in Portugal, Heretofore BLAKE was
.the
greatest obstacle to such a measure ;•but, thank
GOD, he is now. safe in France."
In Catalonia thusSpaniardsi have 20,000 men in
arms,. notwithstanding their late reverses in that
quarter ;-..which has'the etreol of preventing Sucn,ET
from sending otT any detachment to MARMONT.-
All are in high spirits at Cadiz.

It has already been noticed, that -BUONAPARTE has
granted. Licrnises to -the Merchants of different
places to trade with England. Advices were re-
ceived yesterday trom 1-1..11a?d, stating that a Dntch
vessel, of about '4OO tons burthen, was pr,Taring
to sail for this country,
.under the proteaion of a
French LiCrnse, with a cargo of butter and cheese,
and with the intention of, taking back articles of co-
lonial produce. . .

It is the intention of Government to•cause-an im-
mediate and strict sur►ey' to take place at the prison
depoto and prison-ships throughout the'kingdom, to
ascertain all such prisoners as are, through age,
sickness, wounds, &c. incapable of serving again in
arms against us. It is supposed; triat this` will re-
store_ some hundreds of those unfortonate prisoners
to their homes, and enable' several of the smaller
ships at each port to be discharged and,'indeperi-
dent of the above selection, the dep6ts nearly ready
in Scotland will cause a.great decrease in the prison-
ship establishMent. In any sele;.-Aion of invalids, or
exch inge of prisoners, it appears to be the fixed in-
tention of Government, to exclude all persons who
may have composed the crews.,of
.privateers.
Yesterday the remains of Mr. HORNE TOOKE
were interred in the tomb prepared. in his, garden,
according to the d'rei.iions in his will. Sir F. Butt-.
DEIT, Mr. BOS7ILLE, anti Major CA NTWRAGUT,
attended the funeral. Mr. '.Coo:: t, bad, an annuity
of l5OOl. and his two daughters are to have an an-
nuity of 5001. It seippossed that lie died worth
money, as he. lived fruguily,-and had but a small
establishment.

Yesterday, about noon, a wild .bullock made his
escape out of Smithfield-market,_ran up Giltspur-
street, along the Oid Balky, . to Ludgate bill, -and
made his way to St. Andrew's-hill, _ alarming-every
person in his way. ..Ue .was at length secured at
Paddle. Dock, without doing -apy (Abet.. mischief
than tossing a young .man., who made an attempt
to turn the animal back, 'but who was rent se-
riously hurt. The bullock was led quietly back to
Smithfield.

TRAFALGAR.-

EY THE AUTHOR OF " TAT.:AVEIiA."

%Vrinen in 1805.

Though I do love my Country's 'weal
As well as any soul that breathes
Though more than filial pfide I feel
'I% see-her crown'd with t onqu'ring wreaths ;

Yet, from my heart, do i.deplore
Fier rec6nt-triurriplts on the main,
Those laurelS, dripping red .with goie,
- That vict'ry bouilit with N z sc4 slain.

Oh dearest conquest, heaviest loss,
That England's hope and heart have known,
Since first, in fight,, her blood-red cross
O'er the great deep triumphant shone. .

And she should wail that conquest dear,
And she that heavy loss should mourn;
Hallow with sighs her Hero's bier,
And gem with tears her Hero's urn.

Shame on the wild and callous route
That lights for joy its countless fires,
That hails the day with mad'ning shout,
hile. he who won the day• expires !

I t was; indeed, a giorioui day,
And ev'ry homage of the heart
Were just, that rescu'd realms can pay,
Had N itsoN liv'd to share his part.

Had NZ Lso r.r liv'd to hear our praise,
1, too,-had hymn'd the viaor's song ;
I, too, had lit the joyous blaze
And wildly join'd th' exulting throng. .

But he is bl 41.'4 to.pageant ray,
And he is deaf to joyous strain;
And I wit! raise no pleasant lay,
And swell no pomp fur Nstsox slit4i.

But-I will commune with my mind,
.• To celebrate its darling Chief,
What worthiest tribute it may find
Ofsoften'd pride, of temper'd grief.

Ye good and great, 'tis,yours to raise
The storied vase, the column tall,

To ev'6r.future age to praise
His life, and consecrate his fall,

Mine it Will be, (Oh ! -would my tongue
%ere gifted with immortal verse !)
To strew, with many a sorrowing song,
Parnassian Cypress o'er-his hearse.

• FRENCH PRISONERS.-•-UpWatdi of 1 000 French •
prisoners have escaped from this country during the.
war, and so many persons have lately been deteCted
in assisting in their escape, that those concerned
have bad a vehicle nettle for the -conveyance of
Frenchmen to avoid suspicion or dete6tion, exactly
resembling a covered cart used by calico-printers,
with strong doors at each end, but %yid, seats .in‘ the
inside to hold a- number of men. One of them was
deteaed about a week since in a very extraordinary
way. Some revenue officers, went into a public
house neac Canterbury, where two men were play-
ing at caids, whom they suspeaed to pe Frenchmen
on their way .to escape from this country. They
communicated this to a Magistrate, who informed
them that at -that hour of the night (about eight
o'clock) the constable was generally intoxicated, and
it would be of no use applying to him ; but advised
theta to procure the assistance of some of the_mili-..
taryin the neighbourhood, which the officers ac-
cordinglyand surrounded the house. The land-
lord re
fu
il open the door, saying it Was too late.
rt. ,etcliid to,
The soldiers told' him they were in search of de-
serters. A short time' after two men came out. of
the back door,- and the revenue officers suspecting"
they were two Frenchmen, secured them. Another
came out directly afterwards, whom the soldiers
.stoppede he also was a Frenchman. They were
eonyeyed'away- in custody. This was a mere ch ance
dete6tion, as :the. two men whom the revenue offi-
cers had seen at cards in the public-house early in
the evening, proved not Frenchmen, but tradesnien
of the neighbourhood; and while the officers' were
gone to. the Magistrate. and after the military, a cart
such as we have described arrived at the house with
four Frenchmen.• The fourth man, who was some
time in coming out after the Others, escaped into the
London road, w hirher• he knew the cart had Tetura-
ed, and overtook it, but the driver could-not for a
consitierab'o time take him up, as he had -only seen
him in the night time, till he •made him understand
that he was-connected with one Webb, flie.driver's
employer. It being ascertained that the three
Frenchmen in custody had been. brought there in a
.cart, pursuit was made, and it was overtaken, _and
the driver and the Frenchmen were taken into cog-•
tody ; they. were examined before a Magistrate,
when it appeared, from the confession of the driver,
&c. than the four Frenchmen were. officers, who had
bloke their parole from Ashbv-de-la-Zouch. The
cart had been fitted up with a seat to hold a number
of Frenchmen. • He was employed by Mr. Webb to
.
drive the ctn. The Frenchmen, only got.out ()litre
cart at night to avoid obseivaiioo,- .They -stepped at
bye plaCes,, and., made fires under hedges.. At
place near Brentfordi . a woman conneded., with
\Vebb made• tea for them, . They-stopped on /3eck-
eitham Cornnibn, to rest the, horse,_at about fen
o'clock at night ;
when a horse pat vassing
the time, suspeded something to be wrong, but
could not- asceriain what. .He insisted on the driVer
moving off; aid .w heti he was about putting the
horse into- the cart, an: accident happened which
nearly led to their. discovery. Ihe Erenchmen all
•being
,at-the back of the cart, the driver lost •the ba-
lance, when. he - was putting in the horse, antlalre.
cart fill backwards, Which caused the' Frenchmen
to scream violently ;:but it i, supposed • the: patiole
had gone too far, ao hear the noise. Webb was. ap-
prehended, and examined before h I.l.Lig:i.:triite in
Kent, but he discharged hint. However, after-
wards, the Magistrate meeting with Webb in Maid-
stone, where he4as attending tfe Assize 041 a si-
milar charge, he took him into custody.

Thursday evening, at seven o'clock, a a Gen-
tlentan, recently arrived in town from !it,: :..,;orth of
