Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, 18th Jan.:—
" The blockade still continues, but the events we have been
long expecting have partly taken place. The Federal army
near the Oriental State has been destroyed, and another in
Custos Rios is generally expected to meet the same fate. Ac-
cording to all appearance the French are not inclined to make
up matters : still opinions differ on the subject."
Exchange on London, 3d 31. •
A private letter from Buenos Ayres states that the British
Consul had been insulted by the populace, owing to some cor-
respondence having taken place between him and the federal
General.

MUTINY.—An English merchant vessel, bound
from Constantinople to Odessa, put into a port in the Black
Sea. When she sailed again the crew mutinied and confined
the captain to his cabin, intend'ng to carry the ship back into
the port she had last left, but not being able to reach it they
steered for the Bosphorus. On arriving off Therapia, the
mate, who was the only Englishman on board besides the cap-
tain, the rest being lonians and Maltese, made a signal to the
English frigate stationed there, and two boats were sent to the
merchantman with a detachment of marines, who seized the
mutineers and released the captain. The men will be sent to
Malta for trial.
