Buenos Ayres Gazettes, to the 4th of February, sr-
iived this day, from which the following are extracts :

" BUENOS AYRES, JANUARY 22.

" On the 16th inst. the Portuguese brig of war
Gaviot arrived in this port with dispatches from the
Prince Regent of Portugal, and his Britannic Ma-
jesty's Minister at the Court of Brazil, Lord Strang-
ford. The object of their communications is to in-
form the Governor, that some Officers in these pro-
vinces, on the Eastern side, after infringing the most
sacred obligations of their institution, and compro-
mising in the most detestable manner the high
dignity and interests of this country, endea'oured
to seduce Portuguese Officers, at the very moment
when the armistice was announced, offering them re-
wards in the name of his Government, and circula-
ting reports, not only false, but entirely destructive
of tit, principles of peace and good faith, which had
been established.

" That the Court of Brazil was highly offended at
so insidious a conduct, and the British Minister con-
siders his respectable guarantee as treated with con-
tempt ; and that both require, on the part of this
Government, a solemn disavowal of such conduct,
and a formal security kir the future.

" It is here stated, that the Governor of Buenos
Ayres highly condemns such scandalous and crimi-
nal conduct, and the Captain-General, M. de Get-
ratia, is ordered, without delaying a moment, to try
and punish the delinqucnt officers.
"The Supreme Government of the United Provinces
of Rio de la Plata, dated Buenos Ayres, -the 3d Fe-
bruary, declaring all persons born on, or subsequent
to the 31st January, 1813, (the day on which the
general assembly was installed) free."

The Di AKE sloop of war has arrived at Deal, in
three days, from Heligoland, with a Messenger and
Dispatches, which were immediately forwarded to
London.

lane Theatre, is intitled 66 Lose no Time."

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.—Saturday evening, being
Whitsun Eve, a Grand Selection of Sacred Music,
under the able direction of Sir GEORGE SMART, was
given at this Theatre. The performances were en-
livened by some lighter compositions, and Readings
by Miss SMITH. The whole afforded a most delectable
treat to a very respectable audience, who testified
their high approbation by the most unbounded ap-
plause.
COVENT-GARDEN.—Last Saturday night, at the
Oratorio here, for ASHLEY'S benefit, CATALAN! was
in fine voice, and drew down thunders of applause on
giving 64 Rule Britannia," which was encored ; as
was also BRAHAM'S air " Slow broke the Light." A
Mr. NICHOLSON, from Liverpool, made his first ap-
pearance, and few have experienced a more flattering
reception : he gave a Solo, and the beautiful Irish
air 66 Gramachree," which was most rapturously ap-
plauded and loudly encored.
Mr. SPRAY, who sang in the late Oratorios at
Drury-lane Theatre, and who returned to Dublin,
where he resided, at the close of the season, a few
days ago tied a piece of cord around his finger, the
bridle of his horse being too short, and stopping to
knock at a door, the animal suddenly took fright, and
tore away the finger ; the consequence was a locked
jaw, and Mr. SPRAY died a few hours after. He pos.
sessed a fine tenor voice, and was a good musician.
