CAPTURE OF BUENOS AYRES.

It has been known for fame time, that General
B FFFFF ORD and Sir Host■ Pormass had proceeded
from the Cape of Good Hope, againtt Buenos Ayres.
At a late hour IA night Captain Doan ILLY of the
/slaactssus frigate, which arrived yeflerday at Spit-
head, reached town with the agreeable intelligence,
that our brave countrymen had fucceeded in the oh.
jell of their expedition. The place was taken on the
28th of jusse, with very little loft on our part.—
The particulars will loon be given to the public on
official authority.
The lquadron failed from St. Helena early in May.
The Spanifb Governor had received information that
an attack was projefted by a detachment from the
Cape, and had made every preparation in his power
to refill it, to that the exploit is the more creditable
to the Britifh arms.

Buenos A) les is fituated on the celebrated Rio de
la Plata, and i► the capital of the province of that
name, upon the eat} coati. of South America. The
province embraces all that country lying between
'Tucuman on the tall, Pataguay on the north, and
Terra Magellanica on the fond). The country i►
watered by the great river La Plata ; frit difcovered
in Ists by Juror DIAZ DA SOLIS. It was partly rub-
dued by SiIASTIAN Gavoro, who gave the name of
La Plata to the river, from the abundance of the
precious metals he there obtained from the inhabi•
tants, fuppoling them to he the produce of that coun-
try, though in fall they were brought firm Peru. This
country is perhaps the fined in the world, and abounds
In much in horned cattle and honks, that they are
killed merely for their tallow and bides. Great va-
rieties of fith ate here in the fame abundance. The
'fruits produced by every quarter of the globe grow
here in the utionik perfeainn; and for the purples of
commerce it is hardly poffible to conceive any calm-
try better adapted.

The City of Buenos Ayres yeas founded in the year
1535, and 'lands on a point called Cape Blanco., on
the South•fide of the Plata, about 5o miles from its
mouth. The fituation is in a fine plain, riling by a
gentle afcent from the river ; and truly paradifaical,
whether we regard the temperature of the climate,
the fertility of the foil, or that beaurful verdure
which at/tape-ads the whole face of the country, of
which the inhabitants have a prapeet as far as the
eye can reach. The city is very confiderable in ex-
tent, containing three thoufand honks, inha!tited by
Spaniards and others of different complexions. The
flreets ate fitaight, broad, and pretty equal in the
heights and dimenfions of the buildings; one very
handfotne fquare adorns it, the front being a caft!e,
in which the Governor holds his court, and ptefides
over a gat t ifon of poo foldicts. Mat of the build-
ings ate of chalk or blick, except tie cathedral,
magnificent artletUre, compofed chic Hy of Dune.

A letter from Hamhurgh, bythe Mail of yenerdayr
contains the 6,lluwing paragraph :
" A grange report, Paid tb be founded on private
ktters from Paris, is circulated to-clay, that M. Cham•
pagny has made, in the Senate, a moil fevere and
bitter fpeech again& Bonaparte, his ambition, hi.
continually exciting new wars, purely for the aggran-
dizement of himfelf and family, to the ruin of French
indullry and commerce, his tyranny, &c. in the Ryle
of a Mails Member of Parliament, but wholly im•
I probable from Champagny or any other in the Fuca
fervice."

On the authority of other letters it was reported
yelterdey, that an adjunment of the differences be.
tween France and Priam had taken place.. In cor.
firrnatinn of this, it was alto Road, on the autho.
rity of a Gentlemen arrived from the Continent,
that Gencr.l LLUCII Lit had rent an official letter,
dated 3d September, pa the Chief Magillrate in the
diltrift of Eaft Friefiand, infirming him that he had
received intelligence by an ewers from Berlin,
that the differences bejsteen France and Praia were
amicably adjußed. and that he would in conic-
quence return the finites which he had been obliged
to borers is that neiihbouthood.9 k is net Ram!

how, or where, this •ery tudden, though Certainly
not impoltble, reconciliation was rffeeed. We are
not told whether the anode ifooneralilv was made
by Laroarsr at Berlin, or Loco! ssini at Paris.—
But there is one circumilance which leads us to think
this intelligence is premature, at leak if not 'bro.
lutely unfounded. General Krioacesnoar, who re-
places Lucc mato i at the Court of the Thuillerin,
did not deliver his credentials until the ytli iajfaro, and
it is he, we believe, who is charged to remonarate and
negotiate with the French Govermnant on the fuhjeil
of B 's demands upon the Court of BC lia.
