MONTE VIDEO.

The difpatches brought by the DIOMEDE, from
La Piata, hate, that the town of Colonia di Sacra-
memo, which is immediately oppolite to Buenos
Ayres, had furrendered to the Britifh troops, with-
out oppolitinn. It was from this place that the
Spanifh troops, from Monte Video, croffed the river,
when they retook Buenos Ayres. The poffeffinn of
it will very much facilitate our operations againfl
that place.
A great number of letters brought by the Dm-
talus, were delivered out yeacrday from the Poft

Office. They are all pretty II:Oar to the or.c ot
laid before our Readers in our lan.
