POINT SANTIAGO, OR ENSENADA SPIT.

A black buoy is laid on the Spit, Point Santiago beating from it
S. 28 E. and Point Lara S. 53 W. in three fathoms water. On
the Bank of Lara, or part of the Spit Ensenada, a black buoy is
placed, Point Lara bearing S.E. S. and Point Santiago S. i 3 E.
In three fathoms.

COURSE PROM MONTE VIDEO TO bUENOS AVILES.

On leaving Nloate Video, steer S. W. for thirty miles; then keep
her head W.S.W. till Point Indio is seen. When this Point bears
S.S.W. hut eight miles off, keeit. a N.W. course. At this dis-
tance you will find three and a quarter to three and a half fathoms,
and go on &evening to four and a half and five, and continue this
course until you get into three and a half, when you will find your-
s-:!f near the Orthes. litre chatiiie the course to \V. N. W. until
arriving at the outer roads, from five fathoms you may perceive
the buoy.
The inside passage of the Chico being about st:vtn mile. from
Point Indio, as above stated, keep :he vessel's head W. N. W. until
you see the feria-houses of the Magdalena, and when the second
tarot-house beats S.S.W. you will then ace the buoy on the S.E.
end of Chico, and by keeping on will perceive the second, four miles
distant from the first, W. N. W. on the southernmost part of Chico,
and on reaching the second, you may ecnainue your course with
confidence, as the bank stretches to the N.W. ani tile third buoy is
at N.N.W. After passing the Atalaya, the wood of Santiago will
he seen ; and after it immediately the Point of this name : then the
buoys off Ensenada.
On no account ought a vessel to come within six miles of the land,
after passing Point Atalaya, on account of Ensenada Spit running
so far out, as will he seen by the buoy, which, with a smooth river,
is perceptible at five miles distance.
The Atalaya may be easily distinguished by two small clurops
of trees on the bank of the liver, and sonic farm-houses with
anther treci. _ _ _

After seeing Ensenada, the amber on Punta.Lara is the it.-xt
point ; afterwards the steeples in Duenos Ayres; then the vesels
in the outer roads.

CHARTS OF ANTIGUA.
London, April 17, 1824.
Stit—As Commander of the late brig Sisters, from Demerara to
London, which was unfortunately wrecked in D:cember last, on
the South side of the Island of Antigua, 041 a reef of coral rocks off
Cades Bay, I feel it my duty to inform you, that her loss was solely
occasioned by the incorrectness of the charts published fur that
island, in the following mannet :—The beacon laid down as Elms
Beacon has not existed this some time, if ever it did ; and that :lie
present distinguishing mark for Eng or Falmouth Harbour, is
two signal posts, amfbarracks on S1141'11;4:8 Heights, which are not
laid down M the charts at all, and is a materi4l guide to
strangers to avoid the above reef, or when bound to either of ELL,
above harbours. In hopes you will be pleased to make this known
to hydro2,raphers in general. I have the honour to be, &c.
