Getemrsirte—l beg to inclose a memorandum with the situa-
tion of the only two buoys we fitund in the Chico and Ortiz, on
our way up to, and down from Colonia, last week ; and at the
same time feel it my duty to state, that the masters of merchant-
Ve3SMIS from .liuenos Ayres should he cautious against confidence as
to their falling i❑ with them, as their distance front each other,
and the irregularity of the current in the river is mch, that I think
there is little doubt but those who omit taking the hitherto pre-
caution will certainly get oa shore.
" As a proof of their inutility in passing up, we met the Dun-
das, of Jersey, who thought the buoy then near her was the west,
instead of the east of the Chico ; while the Master of the Eliza-
beth nearly at the same time was beating as though it were the
same, and our boat sounded within a ship's length of the spot she
had tacked in, and found but eight feet of water : this in a fine
clear day. I should add, that the Atalaya Church, which is al-
most the only mark near the great danger, is so difficult to distin-
guish in consequence of its towers being so low, surrounded by
trees, and without a flag-staff, that it can only be made nut by ves-
sels of small draught of water, that can keep the coast on hoard.
"The same buoy led us so far into the error coming up, that I was
obliged to anchor and send the boats to sound More wr discovered
it, although •but three miles from it, with men and officers at the
mast-heads with spyglasses looking out, and every other precaution
taken that could he thought of ; and I feel bound to say, that with-
out a great neley buoys the passage cannot he rendeted a safe one,
unless a large light vessel is placed on the Bast end of the Chico,
which woulebe seen from one end to the other, when it is proper
weather fur vesAls to run.—l am, Gentlemen, your most obedient
servant, • " G. W. WI LLES, Captain.

" Memorandum.— On the East end of the Ortiz, there is a
black buoy, in lat. 35. 7. S. in 2 fathoms water, about seven
miles E.S. E. by compass front the Old Deacon, which is visible
with a low river.

" There is a red buoy on the S.E. end of the*ChicO, in three
fathoms, bearing by compass N. by E. E. from Atalaya Church,
and is in lat. 34. sti. 15. S. about ten miles from the land. •

" Another buoy was seen from the mast-head on the West end
of the Chico, but the weather prevented our ascertaining its exact
position."

This pedestrian started at Whitechapel Church on Tue.sd.ay morn.
ing at one o'clock, to go on foot 108 mile, in '24 hours, for a hon.
dred sovereigns. lle travelled the first to Ingarestone,ia
three hours, and reaehi.-il Witham, on the lilsWieh road, 37 Miles,
at half-past seven o'clock, and breakfasted off a fowl. lid aim-
pitied half the distance, to and fro, over three miles of meaptired
ground, towards Colchester, in eleven hours. Ile r.zached
stone, on his return, at a quarter before eight o'clock, the worse
for his journey. lle started with five hours to tio the '22 milerm,
and, by astonishing perieVerance, he retched the end of his joutstey
five minutes within the given time. The Li* was a great one; but
the road is the best out of Lond_in.

The seizure of the I.iicona, under the Brazilian flag,
in the port of Vigo, by order of the Spanish Govern-
ment, u ill give rise to a new and curious question be-
tween Spain and Brazil, a:uf may possibly lead to con-
sequences of which the Ministers of King Ferdinand are
by no means aware; for should this vessel not be Pe-
leased, in all probability we shall, ere long, see Lard
Cochrane and his squadron on the coast of Spain,
with a view to reprisals. The Izuconia•is a charna,
or transport ship, belonging to the Brazilian Govern-
ment, and bound to ilavre, with. the Deputies bn
board expelled by the Emperor. • Oa reaching, the
coast of Spain, she put into Vigo, being' in want of
provisions. This is the vessel which was said lb lia.ve
quitted Rio de Janeiro lAith five months' -provi-
sions on bond, and at the time the Lrupoof's.. enc•
mies raised a cabal, and gave out that her-destination
was Goa, to which unhealthy ciimate it was then as-
serted the expelled Deputies v'etc to he sent, as a pu-
nishment for their revolutionary de,rgns. It is now evi-
dent that this was a story fablicated for political pur-
poses, as the laiconia was bound to Ilavie, under an
expectation of being admitted ii.to a French port, in
conformity to an order tiansmitted to the Custom
Houses some time ago for the admission f vessels under
the Brazilian flag; and credits have, we understand,
also been forwarded to Paris for the support of the ex-
pelled Deputies.
Government having deferred the Drawing, intended
to have taken place on the 6th instant-, to Tuesday
