SOUTH AMERICA.

Letters have been received from Buenos Ayres,
which reach to the end of" May. They were brought
by the Cumberland, Capt. Muctz, arrived from Rio
de la Plata, whence she sailed on the 25th of May.
The letters from Buenos Ayres state, that the attach-
ment of the people to the mother country was every
day acquiring new energy and ardour.—Lvirmus had
publicly announced his determination to yield im-
plicit obedience to any regulations prescribed by the
Supreme Junta of the Kingdom, and to resign the
power he then held, should it be thought proper to
send out another Governor. This determination,
however, did not appear to have the approbation of
his adherents, who, it was expected, would prevail
upon him to continue in his command, in defiance of
the Junta's orders.

The Cumberland left at Buenos Ayres the Gene-
rous Planter, of London ; and the May, Captain
BROWN, of Liverpool. They were to sail in about a
fortnight. The Invention, M,Lissnx ; the Prince
Town, FRASER ; the Venus, a schooner, belonging to
London ; and an American, under EpAnish c lours,
BAKER master, were also at Buenos Ayres. On the
28th June, in lat. 9. S. long. 25. W. a fleet of twelve
sail appeared steering for Rio de Janeiro, most of
them very large ships, supposed to be East India-
men. On the 15th June, in lat. 21. 41. long, 25. 18.
W. the Cumberland saw a large ship steering towards
Rio de Janeiro ; she sheaved a French ensign at the
main, and a Portuguese flag at the fore, supposed to
be a cartel from the Isles of France.
Another vessel has arrived with a cargo of tallow
from Buenos Ayres, which left that settlement on
the Ist of June ; all was at that time tranquil. ELIo,
the Governor of Monte Video, and Listifts, of
Buenos Ayres, were apparently reconciled. Trade
was improving. English ships were admitted, and
Government did not notice the intrusion. British
goods were lo.v in 'price ; nnd, it is said, were sold on
the shores of the Rio de la Plata at a more reduced
rate than they could be purchased here. The market
was, however, active, and the ships were set at
li-
berty for more beneficial speculations.

A Cartel from Morlaix has arrived at Dartmouth.
She brought some lead* but no intelligence of im-
portance.

Yesterday the letters were delivered from the Post
Office, received from the Halifax and New York
Mails. The following is an extract from one of the
latter :

' " New-York, July 20.
" We have just heard of the refusal of your Government to
ratify the Negotiation with Mr. Easamt. We are a little uneasy
about it, as wa do not exactly know ►ow it will end. It has for
the present thrown us all aback here."

The same subject is thus noticed, without any fur-
ther comment, in one of the public papers

" York Gazette, July 20.
" From our correspondent at Boston sv,. have received the im-
portant intelligence (extracted front the London Papers of the
26th May) that Mr. CANNING has pronounced the negotiation
entered into by Mr. EasEINE unauthorised; and that the British
Government would not accede to the terms, hot that vessels
which had left the United States in conformity to the measures
therein established, would be sufiered to accomplish their voyages.'
We understand that Government have refused gran-
ting any licences for ships to proceed to the Baltic. -
It has been erroneously stated in some of the Pa-
pers, that the Countess of WESTMORELAND had ar-
rived in town from the Continent, after an absence of
three or four years. Her Ladyship when last heard
from was at Gibraltar, and there was no probability
of her speeds return to England.
A turtle of great weight was taken out to Lord
CHATUANt, by a vessel which recently sailed for the
island of Walcheren, stated to be a present from Mr.
ABRAHAM GOLDSMID tO that nobleman.
On the 10th inst. a monument was placed in West-
minsteF Abbey, to the memory of the late Lieutenant ,
General VlLLErrss, close to the monument of his
friend the Lion. Sir C. STUART.
Lord PALttattsTois had a select dinner party yester-
