Accounts from Buenos Ayres to the 12th of February have
been received. It appears that the Governor was determined
to preserve peace with the surrounding nations as far as it was
possible, and that he had received satisfactory communications
from several of the neighbouring Republics. The receipts of
the Treasury in January had been 39 silver and 3,076,764
paper dollars, and the disbursements 2,957,266, of which
1,273,765 had been on account of the deferred debt, and the
balance in hand on the Ist February, was 112 silver and
1,80,812 paper dollars. The Ti &usury bills in circulation at
that time amounted to 4,3t'5,000 dollars. Exchange on
England 3d. _ . . .

Intelligence from the Mauritius to the 26th cf January has
come to hand. The extreme cost of the production of sugar
over the price obtained, still occupied the attention of the
planters. Three remedies were proposed—the introduction
of more labourers, whereby the present high wages would be
reduerd ; the abolition of the laud-tax; and a remission of the
export duty.
In the month ending the 20th of January, 11,945 begs of
Sugar had been put up topublic sale, of w hich 8,923 Lags had
been sold ; middlint and good brown at from 4.75 to 5.60 ;
