BUENOS AYRES.

We have the following accounts from theßanda Orien-
tal:—The militia, to the number:of above 1,800, are assem-
bled in different points, besides which there are many indi-
viduals wh• have obtained permission to remain at home
for some time, and will soon join it ; the militia of sosne
districts have not yet been assembled, so that their number
is not known. We know also that the desertion among
the Germans continues, and that by the account of the in-
dividuals who have lately left Monte Video, it is there be-
lieved for certain that the Thetis frigate has been captured
by the Ituraingo corvette and the Congress brigantine.
The greater part of the arms, ammunition, and clothing,
is now on the way to the army, and every exertion is mak-
ing to collect carriages to forward the remainder, which
will be sent away in a few days, both for the troops of the
line and the militia, as well as the lances and sabres for
the latter. Every thing is in motion to open the new
campaign as speedily as possible. Universal enthusiasm
animates the worthy sons of the Banda Oriental. The
sister provinces on their part contribute every thing in
their power, and some men make efforts beyond their
strength. The military Governor is in continual motion
to promote this object, which demands peculiar attention.
The union of all these elements assures us of the victory
with as much probability as human events are susceptible d.

The following are extraetA from German Papers

o a late date :

BRUSSELS, rag. 21.

The Utrecht Gazette, contains a letter from Curacoa,
dated 80th November, which says, that the free Porte
which his Majesty has granted to that Island, does not at
present answer the expectations that were entertained of it,
which is to be attributed principally, if not entirely, to the
bad condition of Colombia, which continues to be a scene
of trouble and disorder. It is not only the disputes re-
specting the federal and central system which have agi-
tated Colombia since April, 1826, and which has caused
blood to flow at Valencio, Porto Cabello, and Cumana,
which agitates people's minds ; but a more powerful cause of
dissension has arisen in consequence of the plans of Bolivar
the object of which has been long suspected, and has be-
come more evident from the monarchical constitution
which he has given Bolivia, and has since imposed by
force upon Peru. He is accused of aiming at the part of
Napoleon, and intending to make himself Emperor of that
extensive part of the American Continent. Generals
Sucre and La Mar, Governors of Peru and Bolivia, which
are to form part of his empire, are his creatures, and se-
veral of. his agents traverse the departments to facilitate
the execution of his projects.

VIENNA, FEB. 11.

Prince Alfred de Windischgratz has been summoned
from Prague by a courier, and on the day of his arrival at
Vienna he had a long audience of the Emperor. The day
before yesterday he returned to Prague, and it is said that
he will soon go to St. Petersburgh with an autograph letter
from his Majesty in reply to the letter of the Emperor
Nicholas.

BRUSSELS, FEB. 23.

The Getman Papers contain no news ; but the Allge-
meine Zeitung of the 18th and 19th gives, under the head
of Constantinople, 11th January, the Manifesto of the Otto-
man Porte of 18th December.

Accounts have been received this morning at the
North and South American Coffee-house, from
Bombay of the 28th October, including Papers of
the 7th, but their contents are uninteresting.

Mauritius Gazettes of the 24th November have
also been received, but they are totally devoid of

Interest.

We direct public attention, and particularly those
of our readers who are interested in commercial
pursuits, to a very sensible letter in another column,
respecting the proposed Wakefield and Ferrybridge
Canal. The navigation between Wakefield and
Ferrybridge is, in a commercial point of view,
the most important in the kingdom, connecting
the two great ports of Liverpool and Hull, and
giving vela to the manufactures of Lancashire and
Yorkshire to the North Sea. Corn from the agri-
cultural counties is supplied by this navigation. How
indispensable, therefore, is it that the communication
should be as accessible as the nature of the country
will permit. But no, this is opposed by existing
monopolists, on the ground, we presume, that their
individual interests should be consulted before those
of the community. We wonder how men can be
so forgetful of what is due to common sense, when
they stand forward as the unblushing opposers of
improvements fraught with so much benefit to
millions of their fellow men. The present line of
navigation is 19-i- miles. The proposed improve-
ment will reduce the navigation to 1.'4 miles, by
which vessels capable of navigating the sea will be
able to proceed with full cargo from Wakefield to
the Humber, without unloading any part of it at
Ferrybridge, as at present. This is a most material
saving both in time and expense. But the Aire and
Calder Company propose a different improvement—
to reduce the present navigation six miles, with this
singular proviso, that they may be allowed to charge
tonnage for the whole 19i, as before, although the
distance is only 131 ! Words would he thrown
away upon such assurance. We trust that Parlia-
ment will treat the Bill of these monopolists with all
the contempt it so justly merits, by inflicting the
greatest punishment it can—passing the Bill for the
real improvement, that of the Wakefield and Ferry-
bridge Company, in the success of which the na-
tional benefit is so deeply interested.

MR. BLANDY.—In our front page will be found an 'Adver-
tisement, stating that a meeting of the friends of Mr.
BrNfor the honourable purpose of voting
some
mark of the opinion of his friends that
AD took
substantial place,
nothing has occurred at the late trial to militate, in the
slightest degree, against that character which Mr. BLANDY
has always maintained for honour, veracity and integrity.
This is the best, because the proudest, testimonial which
his friends could do to the feelings of an honourable and up-
right mind.
