BUENOS AYRES.

The Argus of Buenos Ayres, in the number of the 3d De.
camber, acquaints its readers, that by a resolution of the Di-
rector of the State Printing Office, the paper is no longer to
be printed there, and the publication 'of the paper is therefore
necessarily suspended, there not being at present any printing
office at Buenos Ayres that can undertake to print it.
A new paper, called the Messagero Argentina, commenced
on the Mit November; it is printed at the State Printing
Office.

The Captain of the American brig the President, Adams,
from Rio de Janeiro, whiCh he left the 13th November, states,
three days before his departure two Brazilian frigates and two
brigs had sailed, conveying a division of transports with 3,000
Portuguese and Brazilian troops destined for Rio Grande, where
they were to join the force already there and march to Monte
Video.

DEC. 13.—8 y the mail from Upper Peru, which arrived on
the 11th, we have received the communication of the Legation
of the epublie of the United PrOvineei to the President of
Colombia, claiming the territory of 'rariga, which has been
occupied by a division of the united liberating army. Bolivar
in his reply declares the occupation of the territory to be
purely military, and that it belongs to the Republic of the
United Provinces of La Plata.

Dac. 16.—The Brazilian naval force anchored in the Uru-
guay has acted with great violence towards the English steam.
packet the Druid, belonging to Mr. IVm. P. Robertson. He
left this port under British colours for Arrozo de la China, with
a passport from the British Charge d'Affaires. On the 28th
November it arrived at Villa de la Concepcion, and thence pro-
ceeded, with permission of the Commandant, to the Port of
Urquiza. Here it was surrounded and boarded by the Brazil-
lians, who greatly insulted the flag and the passengers. Mr.
Robertson protested, but the packet wan, however, taken near
to the Paisandu, where it run aground and could not be got
off. The Aide-de-Camp of the Commander-in-Chief there ar-
rived with orders to take an account of every thing on board, to
take all the stores, if any, and to bring away the Captain and
Portuguese prisoners. Even the apartments of the passengers
were ransacked, and they themselves carried as criminals before
the Commander-in-Chief. At this time it was remarkable
that the British flag was taken down. Mr. Robertson
strongly remonstrated with the Commander-in-Chief, who,
after some discussion, ordered the packet and the passen-
gers to be set at liberty, and offered the assistance of his
men to get off the packet from the sand-bank. The passengers
returned on the 30th : the promised assistance did not arrive.
On the let December the packet was got oft; but considerably
damaged, and on the 2d arrived again in the port of Urquiza.—
By a letter from Mr. Robertson to the Minister of War, it ap-
pears
that when the Druid, after being got off, was going to
sail, the Portuguese intimated that a schooner was to accompany
it by way of protection. Mr. It. again remonstrated, but find-
ing that a l'ortuguese schooner and gun-boat really followed
the packet, he and the passengers went on board their boat and
proceeded to Arroyo tie Is China, where they received all pos-
sible attention by General Rodriquez and the principal inha-
bitants.
The .21farquis Anglesea sailed from Fahnouth Sept. 16,
with miners and utensils for working the mines of Famatina.—
On Monday the sth inst. it ran aground on the English Bank.
After sonic fruitless efforts, N. French, the Director of the
miners, left the vessel, went to Monte Video, and returned on ,
Tuesday with assistance. The result is not yet known.

From the letters by the Buenos Ayres Mail,
it appears that the port continued to be closely
blockaded by the Brazilian squadron.

The Corinthian arrived at Liverpool on Sunday,
in 18 days, from New York. By this vessel,
files of Papers were received at the North and
South American Coffee House from the following
places, viz., New York, Pliladelphia, Boston,
and Baltimore, to the Bth Feb. ; Quebec, Mon..
treal, and Charleston, to the 30th Jan. ; and
Norfolk, Richmond, and Peterzburgh, United
States, to the 4th of February.

These Papers contain some little intelligence
as to the state of the war in the Banda Oriental,
and where every thing seems at present to favour
the views of the Buenos Ayrean Government.
The Brazilian Consul at Monte Viedo had
been forced to retire to Rio de Janeiro, and

that town was in possession of the Patriot
forces on the 9th of January. Several other pro-
vinces had united themselves to those of the Rio
de la Plata, and were received into the Union,
and admitted as independent States.
Callao was said in these Papers to have sur-
rendered to the Patriot forces, but this informa-
lion is accompanied by no details from which
any judgment, as to its truth or falsity, could be
formed. It is merely given as a rumour, in ad-
vices from Cumana, dated the end of December
last.

The Nero York Gazette has a short extract
from the Bogota Papers; containing some remarks
on the finances of Colombia, and which are not
in a very flourishing condition. This extract
