MONTE VIDEO.

The Minerva of Guernfey, which failed from Monte
;Video on the ath of April, has arrrived; and brings
*advice., that no attack had been made on Buenos
Ayres up to that date. 'The Captain reports, that
the Spaniards, to the number of 2000 and upwards,
headed by a Frenchman, made an attack on Maldo.
nado, a few days before his departure. The place
was defended by an inferior Britifk force. ne con.
flitl. whilft it Lifted, was defperate. but never was
for a moment doubtful. Our troopb Coon put the
Spaniards to flight, and made great (laughter amOngfl
them; and many pritoners were taken. Our lots did
not exceed three men killed. and a few wounded.
The Spaniards who were fuffered to remain at Monte
Video after its capture, had contrived to fecrete in

their houfes * quantity of arms and ammunition, for
the purpofe, bo doubt, of attempting an infurreCtiont
but their plans were timely difcovered, and the arms
and ammunition feized. Since that affair, an order
was iffued by the Governor, that no Spaniard
&wild be abfent from home after eight o'clock in
the evening, on pain of being feverely punifbed.
If fuch a fyllem is to be purfued in South Ame-
rica, our influence in that quarter is not likely to be'
long lived. An attempt ought certainly to have
been made to induce the people, under the protation
of this country, to (bake off entirely the Swifts
yoke. In no other way can the refnurces which that
country offers, be prevented from adding to the
means that will be employed by our inveteratcenemy,
to annoy and diftrefs this country. The molt impe-
riou.s cf all laws, demands that we fbould reek our
own fafety, by every mean that PROVIDE/ICP has put
in nut power ; and ;that in proportion as the enemy

endeavours to dry up our channels of commerce in
one quarter, we fhould open np new ones in another.

The report circulated yeatrday that Sir Cs-Lucas
;., Corrow was to have a command in the fleet dellined
~„ for the Sound, is unfounded. Sir Josia DUCEtvoRTH,
~: Sir SAMVP/, Noon, and Sic &Naar SMITH, will, it
- ' is faid, hold din inguifbed commands.
It is alto reported that Admiral GAMBIER if to I
accompany this flett.
Meffengers were fent off 'aft night to fummon fe-
veral of our Naval Commanders, to attend the Lords
of the Admiralty.
The following notice was yellerday polled at
Lloyd's :
" Tonningen, July 8.
" The otder given by the Nei& Conful, for all Britt& !hips to
have this port, ;s countermanded; there being no tearun to ',p-
-i prebend any hoftilc meafurc in this quarter."
According to the lall Report of the Commiflieners
on the Nabob of Arcot's creditors, the amount of the
claims in the lift formerly prefented to the Houle of
Commons, and in that contained in the Report which
has juft been made, the aggregate amount of the
claims is 8,888,9531. 17s. id.
Infatiate thirft after novelty is a leading trait ir.
the charaeler of the Englifh. As tit v knows this,
and has made it his iludy to gratify their pred elic
tion for variety: we have already witneffed Mather
Bunch and the Brave Celui, each of which when
viewed feparately, was declared the chef d'euvre of
Pan tonlimical excellence, and the admiring fpettator
felt convinced that nothing could furpals what he
then beheld; the new Comic Pantomime of 7 elemoduti,
however, in point of fplendour, fublimity and whim,
exceeds even its predeceffors ; it is nightly received
with nnanimons applaufe, and promifes to prove a
good friend to the Treafury.
