MESSAGE GOVERNMENT OF
BUENOS AYRES. tk-

By the arrival of the Tam, Captain RIDLIT, Vora'
Buenos Ayres, we have the Message of the Govern-
ment of Buenos Ayres to the Hall of Representatives,,
of which the following is an abstract:
MESSAGE OP THE GOVERNMENT TO Tug HALL
OF ESENTATIVES.
801134011 ATMs, MAT 5, 154:..
Getrmarzw—The peaceful assembly of the Third
Legislature of' this Province is matter of such grate-
ful satisfaction to the Government, that it cannot but
congratulate itself on an event which announces sta-
bility to the representative system in our country, and
progressive prosperity to public affairs. The present
state of them, Gentlemen, is nattering enough.
Peace has been preserved with all the American
continent. The solemn acknowledgment of our in-
dependence.by the Government of the United States,
exacts, on our part, a proper demonstration of the
sentiments which the sincere and honourable conduct
of the first nation of our continent excites. Through
its distinguished agent resident bete, this GOvern-
ment has already intimated its 'disposition to this
effect. 'The alliance of the three Governments of
Santa Fe, Entre Rios, and Corrientes, have been
maintained by conduct at all times open and sincere,
and the state of the other provinces of the old Union
is in general pacific. The Government preserves-har-
mony and good understanding with all the provinces.
The-message states that a pacific mission is on the
point of being sent into the inttrior ; and an Envoy
was ready to proceed to the coast of Brazil, with a
-view to establish relations between both Governments
• The war in Spain is next noticed, and a hope ex-
pressed that peace between that country and the'
South American States is not far distant. 44 This
hope," says the message, "must console us under the
sorrow which the unhappy state of Peru calls forth,
for there torrents of blood are still shed without any
object, seeing it is no longer in the hands of any one'
to make the cause of independence retrograde."
The state of domestic affairs is represented as sin-
gularly happy. The LancaSterian system is gene-
rali,ed. A respectable society of citizens, devoted to
this object, is protected by the Governaient, which
has esFecially confided to its care,the direction of two
hospitals in the country. Female education has also
been encouraged. The moral and natural sciences
are beginning to display themselves—the Ectlesiasti-
' cal College has been improved, and the College of
Natural Sciences will soon be established.
The Ilcspitals are in a state consoling to huma-
nity. The orphans" have been lodged in a manner
worthy the generosity of the country, and vaccination
•• preserves the days of infancy from that fatal disease
uhich smothers the halt of our hopes, in the cradle

and invades both domestic and public happiness.
The Ecclesiastical law is undergoing a salutary re-
form. The police is orgaivting its various ramifi-
cations. Criminals are prosecutes' with better success,
and offenders feel that it is not easy to escape frovi
the correction they deserve.
Great improvements are made in the roads and
streets, and the hydr antic engineer has presented his
plait for the construction of a port. " Interior quiet,
' a general feeling of security, with other resources
which have been put in acti.in, have reanimated ge-
neral industry and labour."
• The attempt at insurrection on the 19th of March,
is next noticed, and the magistracy praiSed for its
immediate suppression, as well as the military for
supporting it. The standing army improves every
day in its moral and discipline. For.resses are erect-
ing to protect the frontier, and a new regiment of
cavalry is to be formed.
The administration of the public revenue has pro-
duced the happiest results, having answered the ordi-
nary and extraordinary expenses of 1822, leasing a
• larger surplus than had been calculated upon ; and
the income of the present year is expected to meet all
the charges upon it, besides redeeming a tenth part
of the whole debt ; and to complete the system of
finance, it is only necessat y to carry the collection of
direct taxes to a greater degree of exactness than at
present it can boast of.
Agricultural industry rapidly advances; "the vivi•
fying activity of commerce is felt ever} where."
The Government has abstained from making use,
as. yet, of the power granted it by the law of tie 19th
of August, 1822, to negotiate a loan, note ithstand-
ing the great utility of the objects to which it is ap.
propriated. 4$ It has thought it better not to expose
the credit of the province to be involved in the bad
s:lccess which the loans of America have experienced
• in the great money markets of Europe."
The message observes, that " Exterior peace is of
the first, consequence to the happiness of the country,
and that the Government will accept it whenever it
• is offered, accompanied by conditions honourable and
worthy of a free and independent State."
The message, which is signed by Ilernardius itiva-
davia and Manuel J. Garcia, concludes with the
hope that the Representatives will amply provide the
indispensable means far covering not only the ordi-
nary expenses, but the extraordinary ones, which the
honour and security of the province demand.
The Lady Combermete has arrived in Liverpool
from Sierra Leone, bringing the pleasing intelligence,
that when she left that colony, on the 20th June, it
was much more healthy than it had been.
The accounts from. La Guayra, by the last Lee-
ward Island Mail, are not later than those previously
received by the William Galt, which recently arrived
• at Liverpool direct from that port. They confirm
the account of the Colombian fleet .being in prepara-
tion to go out against the Spanish fleet. The Co-
lvmbian force consisted of the Constantine frigate,
and three sloops and Wigs of war, of twenty-two,'
twenty, and eighteen guns.
There is a plan at Geneva for establishing a steam-
boat, which will ascend the Rhone as far as St. Mau-
tice, five leagues from Switzerland, above its entry
into the Lake. This will prevent the necessity of
landing passengers and goods on the territory of Sa-
voy, between Le Valais and Geneva, or of prolong.
ing the journey, by passing through the Canton
of
Vaud, where there are besides now several Custom-

houses to pass.
Monday week the. Strathmore Telegraph coach
took 6re twice on the road betnneen Forfar and Bre.
chin, owing to the friction of the wheels on the axle-
tree. In both instances the fire was discovered in
sufficient time to prevent any serious consequences.
