3 PRINCE, AIvDIII37VUR.

LIVERPOOL, SEPTEMBER 20.
I am returned Co late, that I cannot detail the
Prince's reception this day. His Royal Highnefs
went in an open carriage, drawn by fix bolls., and
three pollillions. His Royal Highnefs had fignified his
intention to call at the Mayer's, and his defire to take
that opportunity of expelling the einotirns which
fuch a reception mutt give rife to, and perfonally to
thank him and the Corporation before he left the
county. This rerpetable body were affembled, and
met his Royal Highnefs at the door, and again wel-
comed him with every feotiment of affelion. His
Royal Mightier' bowed arid fmiled before he entered
the houfe, and foon after appeared at the window.—
His Royal Highnefs then proceeded to the Botanic
Garden. He walked through the whole. infpelling
minutely the curious plants already colleted in this
infant efiablifh tricot.
In Lord Dr Ray's Park was prepared another fcene
of old Englilh ferlivity--a whole roafted or, with
firong beer, crowned the night s an immenfe con-
coolie of people were colleted ; the only damp, and
which was utriverfally felt, was the abfence of the
Noble Hoe, who had direCted that every delbrip•
lion Ihould Aare in the joy and honour conferred
upon him by his illuarious Prince. His Royal High-
nefs naffed through the principal ftreets of Liverpool
in his procefilion, and was ercorted from and to
Knoielley by Major F 's Yeomaory.
His Royal Highnefs ordered large dr:minions, to the
Infirmary, the Inftitution for the Blind, the Welch
Charity, and to the pow Debtors.
DONCASTER, SEPT. ea.—Nair pet One &Clock, A. Wt

The town has been on the tiptoe of expeeation, and
every preparaii, n made for the reception of the
Royal visitors. Earl Ft TZW/LtIAIR arrived at Went-
worth Houle; from London, on Thurfday, and wilt
be here this day.

Ea R c Peacv•—Yellet day a large body ()fele Eke-
tors of Weliminfler affembled at Wiccts's Rooms,
for the purpofe of expreffing their approbation of the
nomination of his I,mM/sip as a Candidate to more-
, fent the city of Weltminfter.
I Lord Piave entered the room about one o'clock ;
he was conditeted towardi the Chair by Mr. Wiate
WILD and Mr. ADAM. Mr. Bells took the Chairl
Mr. WMITIIIIIIAD rah to prupote Lord Place.n-
He prefaced his fpeech with &kill eulogium en Mr.
Fox, " as the landmark and fat-g:aid of the Condi
tuticn, and the bulwatk of the world " It would be
idle, added he, to talk of a fucceffor to that Great
Man, whole feet in Council and in the Senate will
ever be vacant. He then dwelt en the hereditary
virtues of the Houle of Percy, ansi the fair prolpett,
from the education of the Noble Lard be was about
to propufe: and with thefe examples in hi. view, that
he would tread in thole lleps which his anceitnrs and
Mr, Fox had trodden before him. To (peak of that
young Nobleman, at prefent, as calculated to fill the'
vacant feat for Wellminder would be impoffible-it
was the commencement of his public lite, and it was
fair for the EleEtnrs to draw a favourable augury of
Lord Percy. They knew hill. to be independent, and
above temptation to betray the rights and liberties of
hiscount. y, ihich hi' Noble Famil bad ever fup•
ported. His faihee had ever been a pet i it, and toe
friend of that Great Man wbo(e lots was fo deeply
lamented. • kii. Icachas beforit.his

of Mr. Fox, whole cifinduft was a model for ham, as
his facceffor. Lid Percy , would do juQice to the 1
Elenors by treading in the paths of bossegy, fimpli-
city, and truth. Mr. Whitbread then read four Re- i
Notions : the firli was, to ninth the deep regret
which the Meeting felt fur the death el Mr. Fox, and
the others to declare their intention to fupport Lord
Percy at the approaching eleElion: After which he
propo!ed Lot d Petcyf a pit:pedal which was received
us jib itireiated marks of approbation:
Mr. ELI.' city fecunded the motion••-he was not in
the habits filagreeing with Mr. Fax on many points,
hot lie flat fevered hi. charafter, and lamented his
ile'aih as much as any man could. He weeconvinced
that Lord Petty would be found to art up to thole
ini ciples which had diffinguifbed his family in the
cat& of liberty. .
Lord PIIRCT retorted his thanks to the Meeting.
aid pledged lhtfelf to kV upon thole principles that
had rendered the meennyy.of Mr. Fox fo dear to them.
The itelolationkwett then feverally put antlagrend
fo, without one diffentient voice.
Wsiox Coos.—Fefterday an extraordinary meet-
ing of this dillinguiffsed Society was held at the
Cr iwn and Anchor Tavern. his Grace the Duke of
N' - The turd-Woe 'Was read,
and Mr. {ti's. Aoast, in a Ihmt and Mod 'freeing
addrefs, raid, that on the fad and inelsotholy Eta•
firm of the death of the Right lifrourabk Cliallllll
Jaw is Fox, it was thought becoming in that 'Society
to meet together. They had been afilicfated under
his aufpites, and had had peculiar opportunities of
witneifing his unparalleled exertions in the caufe not
only of his country but of human kind ; and it there-
fore a af incumbent on them to confider in what way
they &mild mai:Welt the love and veneration which
his patrifitilm, talents, and fervices, had indelibly
fixed in their breads. He propofed that they &mild
expels to the Noble Relations of the deceafed their
earned &lire to be permitted, in their individual ca-
pacity, to follow his remains to the grave. This was
received with fympatherie emotion, and a Committee
was appointed to make known their fentiments to
the Noble Relations 'of the deceafed, and alto to con-
fider of what further tains/my of their feelings of
gratitude and admiration it would become thee 2 col
tender to his memory. Th'y Refiilutiona se all
piled with unanimity, and the Thanks of the Meet-,

ACeOMOT OP TMI 000000 T STILTS 01 TM/ PIOTUICI
0/ VUEMOS •TRIS, IN SOUTH •HERICA.

Since the time of Ullna and of Condamine, the
gate of this part of South America has undergone
great alterations for the better. The whole track of i
country which now conflitutes the province of Bue-
nos Ayres, was formerly fubjea to the controul of
the Viceroy of Peru ; but, in 1778, it was ereaed in-
to a feparate Government. The country has been
greatly benefited by this regulation, and particularly
by an edidt of the Ring of Spain, promulgated in the
• fame year, by which a free trade was granted. Is
1791, Spanifh as well as foreign merchants moreover
received permigion to import Negro flaves and hard-
ware, and to eaport in return the produftions of
the' country. This encouragement has contributed
greatly to the advancement of agriculture, and the
increafe of population : and, fuch is the fertility of
the foil, that, if the fame wife regulations fhould con-
tinue in force, Buenos Ayres will probably becomes
in a Ron time, the granary of South America and
of Spain. Another royal edift, dated April so. 1793,
alktwed the exportation of felted Meat, as likewife of
iatici*, duty free.
The mog oppreffive fetters on indußry and COW
tame having been removed by there and fimilar
royal *diets, and flill more by its coming under the
foßering proteetion of Great Britain, the profperity
of elvt country mull continue to increafe every year;
for, in there regions which are bleffed with the molt
favourable climate, nature alone. 'if no impedimenta
be thrown in her way, will almoft fponfanenufly pro-
ditty 'Very thing. The province of Buenos Ayres
bat a tell gent intent, every where abdunding with
the lion fertile cultivated lands : there are interfec-
ted, in every direftion, by brooks and rivers, which
all flow into the great River Dela Plata. The pallor!
grounds fupport millions of beeves, horfes, (beep, and
(wine. Such numbers of horned cattle are reared,
that, in the year 179 a, 815439 isic bides were (hip
peel for Spainw—sot to reckon on fuels as were odd
In the country, or were bartered for Negro ilaves.-s—
-'here is an abundance of felt ; and no want of con-
venient places where boats and Mips may take in a
cargo of felted flat for exportation. The Rio de la
Plata. the Uruguay, Paranat and other fmaller
Breams, afford great advantages in this refpedt.rs:
There arelikewife fosse good and capacious harbours.
as, for %Rance, thole of Buenos Ayres ;dell, of Mon-
tevideo, Maldonado, and the Bay of Barrages. TM
Misery on the awns, efpecially of the whale and few
.
wolf, is frequently very produaive : and in the intifil
riorthe country the chafe fumifhes many articles'
for commerce ; for the fkins of the tigers that are
found here are no lets elleeMed for their beauty, then
the oltrich feathers, of which there is great plenty.
.lo the villages and diflridts of the Migrants, cotton,
and likewife liar and hemp are culti Nor is
this province entirely deftitute of gold mines : fnme
of them are worked near Maldonado and San Luis,
at the dillance of two hundred leagues from the ca-
pital.

.

. We Bran be ben enabled to form a coma idea of
the profverity and commerce of this country, by tab-
- ins a vie* of the imports and trpnrts. In the year
1796, there arrived thirty-five loaded Grips from Ca-
diz ; twenty-two from Barcelona, Malaga, and Al-
heves ; nine from Corunna ; five from Santander ;
one from Vigo ; and one from Gijon. The value
of that part of the cargoes which confined of Spanifh
r,roduttlions, amounted to 1,705,866 American pia-
tens. The value of the foreign manufaltures, &c.
which were imported in the above flips, amounted
to 1,148,078 ; and Turn total of both, to 2.8539944
Ostlers. On the other hand, there failed from Bue-
nos Ares twenty-fix (hips for Cadiz; ten for Bares.
loos, Malaga, and Alicante ; eleven for Coruna& ;
and four for Santander. Thefe carried coined and
nneoined gold of the value of 1,425,701 piallers.—
The value of the filver exported amounted to nearly
2,556,304, and that of the other produetions of the 1
province to 1,076,f 77 pianers. The value.of all the
exports confequently amounted to 5,058,882. The
goods exported confined of 8,4,593 raw ox. hides ;
43,752 hone hides ; 24,436 ions of a finer fort ;-

arrobas of cacao ; t 864 arrobas of white wax ; and
750 varas'of acana wood ; the whole value of the

Buenos Ayres to tie Havannah. Their cargoes eon.
lifted of 24,060 pianers in gold; 69,050 cwt. of felted

nufaCtured Cheep fkins ; 323 fkins of a finer fart ;
,90 arrobas of wool ; 280 goofe wing% ;—the value
of all thcfe exports to the Havannah amounting to
260,1 to piallers.
Two (hips from Lima and C;nayacioil, brought
10,975 arrobas of fcgar ; 200 (alt (ones ; 1472 arro-
bas of cacao ; 816 arrobas of rice ; 378 pounds of

cinnamon; 990 pounds of indigo—the value of the:
whole amounting to 50,554 piallers. In return, 20941
hoes, 238 flares, 1680 arrobas of tallow, 620 po9hds
of thread, 42 dozen pairs of bilk flecking', and 120
hats, were fent from' Buenos Ayres to the above-
named places. The value of all there exports
amounted to 67,150 piafiers.
In the fame year, 1350 Negro (laves were import-
ed in four Spanifb and five foreign (hips. On the
other hand, two foreign (hips, and aline belonging to
the country, failed from Buenos Ayres on a Nye.
trade voyage, carrying with them 159,820 piaflers in
money, and of the produElions of the country and
other merchandize as much as was ellimated at
34,703 piafiers.
The rapid increafe of trade in the province clearly
appears from a comparative Rate of the imports and
exports of the years 5795 and 5796. In this latter
year there were imported 932485 piaflers worth of
goods from Spain ; 760,361 piafters worth from the
Havannah, and 5005+440as worth from Lima,
more than in the year immediately preceding. The
impcirtatign of Negro flaves likewife exceeded ha
value that of the former year about a 1,895 piafiers.
The exports too were likewife much more confider.-
able, the exceco of thofe to Spain alone amounting to
274.40 Palign4

But in the following years, through the war, and
tike infectuity of commerce thereby occafioned,
change for the voile had taken place. This we leans
from the Cerro Mem:Wild the year 1799, No. 33,
which contains a letter from Buenos Ayres, dated
Otiobir 31, 1798, relative to the ftagnation of trade.
According to this letter, above three millions of fkins
were lying in the warehoufes of the capital and
Montevideo, which could not be eeported, on ac•
count of the danger of their falling into the hands of
the enemy. Many forts of European goods and ma
nufaeures were totally wanting, or had rifer to prices
excellively high. In particular, a great want was
felt of European linen ; in lieu of it, however, they
fubßituted fluffs, either manut.aCtured from cotton in
the country itfelf, or imported from Peru. Of thefe
fluffs, which are much efteemed, above a million of
ells were, in the above named year, imported into
Buenos Ayres. Thnfe molt in requell came from
the country of the Chiquitos and Mort'. Brandy
and Spanith liqueurs could not be procured at any
price. They endeavoured, however, to Cupp's, the
moll prefGng wants by encouraging-the manufaftures
of the country.

There can be nn impropriety in here repeating a
part of Sir HOPS! POPHAM'S Letter to the Mailer of
Lloyd's Coffee-honfe :

The conquell of this place opens an evecfive channel for the
Manufactures of Great Britain. Hitherto the trade of thie coon.
try has been cramped beyond belief, and the Manufactures of
Great Britain could only find their way to this rich Province by

Ibis moment Its trade will be throat open.

Don Bruno de Zabala was the firft who, in the year
1731, fettled here with fourteen or fifteen families
from PAWS, one of the Canary Minds, and laid the
foundations of the city. Since that time it has greatly

lambics that of the Gypfies, except that they are not
addi.ted to thieving. Thefe vagabonds are natives
of Montevideo or the circumjacent places: they are
very badly clothed, their whole deers cons Ritig only
of a etude shirt, and a worfe upper garment. Thefe
articles of drefs, together with horfaurniture, ferve

appear the left furprifing, when it is conflicted, that
in this country hotfes are of very little value. Great
herds of them run about wild in the 'aft plains, and

catching them. The Gautier-Ms generally march

Some of them kill a cow merely for the purpofe of
obtaining the fiefh between the ribs and the fkin.--;
Others eat nothing except the tongue, which they
mall in the red•hot embers. The remainder of the

of carnivorous birds and wild beans. Others again,
are Rill more eafily fatisfied, taking nothing but the
marrowbone, from which they cut off all the

they take out the entrails, and. colletling all the (al-

cafe. They then kindle fame dried cow•dung, and.
apply it to the tallow, that it may take fire, and pe-
netrate into the Refit and bones. For this purp •fe,
they dole up the careafe as well as porlible, fo that
the frooke comes out of the mouth, and anrther aper-
tide made in the lower part of the belly. In this
manner the cow often continues roaßing a whole
night, or a confiderable part of the day. When it is
done enough, the company place themfelves around,
and each cuts for himfelf the piece he likes heft, and
devours it without bread or (alt. What remains is

There nye two ways of travellinz from Montevideo
to Buenos Ayres: one of them by land as far at El
Real de San Carlos. In the dry feafon of the year
this is the atortefl ; but, in the rainy feafon, the
fmallefl rivulets fwell to loth a height, that no one
can crofs them without danger, focnetimes not at all.
At San Carlos boats are always in readinefs to tranf
port paffengers actor's the Rio de la Plata, which is
here ten legua, broad, and to carry back the orders
of the governor, and all binds of provilsona, to San
Carlos. The-caoll ufual manger of travelling from
Montevideo to Buenos Ayres is by water. If the
weather be favourable, a boar may perform this pal.
Page in twenty-four hours, though the diflance be
forty &guar : but, when the wind is contrary, it may
happen, that fourteen days will fcarcely be fufficient.

Buenos Ayres is fituated on the wetlern bank of
the great River de la Plata. So lately as forty years
ago, this city was confidered as only the fourth as
to rank and importance in the viceroyalty of Petu.
Lima then held the firfi rank, and next in import-
ance to that capital were Cuzco and Santiago in.
Chili. Since that time circumflances have greatly
altered, and at prefent Lima alone can be reckoned
fuperior to Buenos Ayres. Since this latter city be-
came the feat of a new government, it has greatly
increafed, and Rill daily increafes, in coofequence of
the improved Rate of agriculture and commerce, and
in the courfe of time, will probably rife to an equal
rank with Lima itfelf. Formerly the citizens of Bue
nos Ayres had no country-houfes ; and, except
peaches, none of the finer forts of fruits were pro-
duced here. At prefent, there are few perfons of
opulence but have villas, and cultivate in their gar-
dens all kinds of fruit, culinary plants, and Rowers.
The houfes are in general not very high ; but molt of
_them are built in a light and beautiful manner,
At Buenos Ayres, the men as well as the women
drefs after the Spanifh mode, and all the fafhions are
brought thither from the mother country. The ladies
in Buenos Ayres are recleaned the moil agreeable and
handfome of all South America ; and, though they
do not equal thole of Lima in magnificence, yet their
manner of dretling and decorating themfelves is not
fell pleating, and even evinces a greater delicacy of
Line.

Until the year 1747. no regular poll was ellab.
Wiled either in Buenos Ayres, or the whole province of
Tucuman, notwithlbsncling the great intercourfe and
trade with the neighbouring provinces. Merchants
fent, as often as they found it neccfrary, a mcfrenger
with their letters ; and their friends and neighbours
mask ufe of the fame conveyance; nr, what was
more ufual, they leaded travellers with letters and
commitlionF, &c. which wa; however attended with
great delays and inconvenience, as from Jujiti to
Mendora one is obliged to travel very (lowly in a
kind of rsvn•wheeled carts. But, in 1748, the Vice-
roy Don Andonaegui inßituted regular polls.•
Buenos Ayres is v. ell (implied with provilions : of
RA meat in particular there is ft) grcat an abundance,
that it is frequently dificitAned gratis to the poor.—
The river water is rather muddy : but it loon be-
comes clear and drinkable, by being kept in large
tubs of earthen veffels. Of fifh too there is a rut
abundance. •

Neither in the in of Buenos Ayres no► its To-
cumin does any filow ever fall: fometimes it f
a little, 1, as to cover the water with a thin coating
of ice, which is colletled arta prefcrved with great
care for the purpofe of cooling their liquors.
That the climate r•f Buenos Ayres is very filubri•
out, appears from the proportion of the births to the
deaths; and cnnfecocntly the city has not been im-
properly named. In June, July, Asigutt, and Sep-
tember, however,.fogs atilt from the river, which
are& the lungs and bicaft. The vehement winds
too, which blow from the l'am'as, and are therefore
called Pantierw, prove very tronblefome to the in-
habitanu.

This country will undoubtedly dales's' great advan-
tages from this new fource of trade. We do not
mean, however, that every adventurer who embarks
in it will infiantly make a fortune ; on the contrary,
many of them, we doubt not, will be ruined ; for
here, as in every other quarter, a glut of goods and
the neceffity of making remittances, will bring on a
competition which will reduce the profits of the ad-
venturer:. But in fuch cafes things at IA fillet their
level, and there is left a fair commercial return for
the capital employed, and the rilks of the trade. Ano-
ther thing (hould alto be taken into the confederation of
fuch as mean to embark in this trade. The American
produce will. in proportion to the increafed quantity
that comes to this country, fall in its price here. This
is an effete In common and Cs natural, that he mutt
be a mere novice in commercial purfuits who does nit
comprehend it. All that we would be underflood
to fay is—that this trade holds out a profpea of a
I fair ►emuneration to experienced commercial men,
and promifes to open up fruit-cgs for the eonfumption
of Britith manufaelures to an extent that cannot yet
be calculated ; for exaAly in proportion as the bur•
dens laid upon the natives are dimiodhed by the Bri-
tith Government, their means for buying our com-
modities'will be increafed ; and the people inficad of
continuing ragged and indolent, will become induf.
trious, and in length of time vie with each other in
the poflefflon of neceffariet, comforts, and luxuries.

half of the petitioning creditor, Mt. Coosa objefed
to the proof of the debt claimed by Mr. Montefiore
(Daniels's broker in the Stock Eichange,) amounting
to t y,cool. on the ground of its being contrary to the
tenor of an Aft of Pat liament, called Sir B. Turner'a

pradice of Stock jobbing," in which Mr. Cooke dif.
played much ingenuity and legal information, cal.
' culated to (hew that the Omnium in queflion was
purchafed contrary to the terms id- that Ad, and that
no legal proof of debt could be admitted by the Com.
mill-tone's under that Aft. He quoted two cafes, itt
which die decifiune of the Judges had been in favour
of that Ad, in cafes where the amount of dUrencet
11 had been contended for—but he was over ruled by
