diftreffed &nation ; the was attired as a Nitric, in s
(habby jacket and ttowfcrs, and wore her own black
hair cropped. The circnmllances which led to the
difcovery of her fez, as well as the fingular dram-
ftances of her family fortunes, were as follow :
A matter bricklayer, who was einployesd about
fame buildings in Dunning's-lane, Bithopfgate.llreet,
on Tuefday evening, law, as he thought, a jailor boy
fitting on the threlhold of a door, near the Black
Bull public houfe, drenched with rain, fltivering with
cold, and weeping bitterly. Attradled by the ap-
pearance of the lad, he quellioned him as to his
fituation, and found that the failur belonged to a
' northern coal (hip now in the Pool, and had run away
from the veffel on hoard which he had failed four
years as an apprentice, and Paid he would rather be
hanged then return on boatel. The man Aced the

frellnent ; but he had fcarcely entered the bottle ere
he f tinted away ; and on loofening his neck hand-
kerchief and opening hi, bolan to aid his revival,
the real fax of the poor trn was difcovered. The
woman of the bottle immediately p.:id the poor girl
every huMane att.:. ion, and r.stait.ca from her the
following narrative: She declared herfelf to he a native
of Whitby, in Y-o. kalif e, and the daughter of a feaman
who was killed in the fervice of his country early in
the lall war. After her father's death, her' mother
married another man, and lived with him for Come
years at Whitby. She herfelf had been at fervice in
that town, from the time (he was able to work until
the was thirteen years old, and was lalt employed in
attending a female of that town in her lying in. Her
father in law came for her there, took her away, and
made her put on Lakes clothes, with threats that if
eva the difcovered her fez, he would murder her.—
He bad often treated her barbarnufly, and the exhi.
hired the mark of a blow be had given her, with a
poker, under her left ear. He, in a few days after,

four years, without her fez being ever difcovered. Oa

JOURNAL OF THE OPERATIONS OF THE I
BRITISH ARMY AT BtIENOS AYRES.

NUMBER U.
In the morning of June 29th, the army affembled
in marching order, and between nine and ten o'clock
commenced its march by the left flank, having, a
'detachment of the Rifle Corps, the 36th, 88th Regi•
lents, and 17th Light Dragoons in front, and the
Other corps following in fucceifion.
The ground occupied by the army the preceding
night was exceedingly flat and fwampy ; but the
track over which they had now to pals, on account of
eery deep bogs near the river, was circuitous, and
almoß impaffable to the troops, who were in gene
ral heavily loaded with ammunition, neeeffaries, and
three days' provifion ; and, if it be remembered that
about one half of them, who had arrived only a few
days before with Brigadier General Ceawetreo from
England, had been ten months on board Sip, the
attacks they had to furmomit will appear the
greater. For three hours they were obliged to wade
through bogs, mire, and fwamps, often above their
knees, and in the utmoit danger of falling every mo-
ment. In the midst of there difficulties, the troops
in open column preferved the moll regular order,
and although many ran a confiderable rifle of being
drowned, yet we do not believe that more than one
man was loft. Had the enemy had fuifieient fore.
fight 'aid courage to attack our troops in their pal;
rage through the bogs, aided by their fuperior know-
ledge of the country, they might have, doubtlefs,
tintioyed them greatly, and perhaps prevented them
froM advancing further, particularly as the Nita
could not have ferved their artillery in the deep
marikes ; and, finding it even impoffible to bring on
iheir cannon, they were compelled to difmount, fpike
and abandon them all, except five light 6 pounders,
which the ooldiera, by excel Eve toil, dragged through
the martho. But the enemy were not any where to
be feen About four o'clock in the afternoon, the
army, after marching ten miles, and having gained
pretty favourable ground, filed off by corps in (Me-
rtz direitions, and lay on their arms all night. Be-
foie they halted, feveral (mall liraggling parties of
the enemy's horfemen were obferved about a mile to
the left of the line of march, but they loon difap-
peired. It being uncertain whether any confiderable
body of the enemy were near, the piquets and guards
of every regiment were ordered to be on the alert all
night. The Light Brigade, under Brigadier Gene:
sal Ckawrven, continued on the advance during the
march, and halted about four miles in front of the
main body of the army. In the cootie of the day
they palfed the ground which, but a very Mort time
before, had been occupied by a party of Spanifh
bode, which immediately Made their retreat on the
appearance of our troops. It was Much to be lamen-
ted that, from the want of the neceffary a.tfl9ance, it
:was found impoitble to bring on all the gur:, and

;ammunition, thr..ugh the marches : the want efgont
lirould have been dreadfully felt, had the enemy made
la attack ih any confiderable body. The fervices of
,
ly 36 feamen, Who iolunteered, with many more,

from the Pnlyphemor, of 64, were accepted of by

General Witirs cocas. There men were found of
the greaten ore in dragging ammunition, and be-
haved in all refpeds like tree Brittfh feamen.
About eight o'clock in the morning of the 3oril,
the different corps ,were in motion from their re-
fpeCtive ground, and marched through a moil
beautiful country, diverfified with extenfive fields of

clover, and rivulets which the troops were obliged to
ford. About two o'clock they halted, and remained
during the night in the open air, the Light Brigade
being about two mile; in advance. In the courfe of
this day, feveral irregular bodies of the enemy made
their appearance ; but as they made no near ap•
proach, they were difregarded. It appeared to be
their intention to cut off our baggier: in the rear.—
Today, General LUMLEY'S brigade was next in ad-
vance to that of General CRALETURD.

Early on the ill July, the army mnved forwards,
and matched over a track funilar to that of yeller•
day, until four o'clock in the afternoon, when they

baited at the village of Redullion. General LuM.
tit, with the Light Brigadc, 36th and 88th Regi•
menu, advanced two miles forward, and baited in
ight of, and within eight miles of Buenos Ayres) on
*Wing ground, with their right towards Reduaion,
' sad their front towards that city—their left flank
king bounded by a fmall village.
During this day's march, the enemy hovered very

much on the flanks and rear of the advance, as well
as of the main body of the army, and made many
attempts to cut off the (hagglers in the rear, who
were very numerous, both from the great length of
this day's march, and from the fatigues and priva-
tions they had undergone during the three preceding
:days; for their provifions had been already &mutt-
ell, and, from frequent alarms in the night, they had
beta deprived of re(, and expofed to rain. We do
Set learn, however, that more than one Plan was
attacked by them. This man was not a (muter of a
mile in the rear of General LUMLEY'S brigade, and
was left by the enemy with few figni of life. In the

comic of this march, General Cumt.sv thought it
prudent to detach four companies of infantry, under
a Field Officer, to fupport the rear guard, and bring
up loch men as had fallen in the rear, from fatigue,
accident, and licknefs : this detachment foon after
joined the main atnts under General WHlMlLuegar

. . . . .
and continued with them that night at Redultion,'
from whence they proceeded early in the morning?, to
the advance. During the whole March of this
day, the main body was in the rear of the advanced
brigades about five miles. On account, howeier, of
a probability that the enemy would difpute the ground
with our troops at Reduaion, it was intended that
the army should advance in a more compaB body, as
they approached to the neighbou►hood of Buenos
Ayres, in order to be prepared againfk oppolition
from the enemy, which was now more likely to be
met with than on the preceding days ; and with this
view the main body halted within two miles of the
advanced divifion of the atmy, which confifled of the
Light Brigade, 36th and 88th Regiments.
No oppofitian was met with at ReduCtion, although
the enemy had colle&ed there with the apparent
intention of making a nand, yet, on the approach of
the Light Brigade under General CRAWFURD, who
fired a few shots, they fuddenly fled in the direaion
of Buenos Ayres; where, it feemed, all their flrength
was now concentrated. During the afternoon, two
(hips were feen burning in the roads of Buenos Ayres,
fuppofed to have been fired by the enemy, to prevent
them from falling into the hands of the Navy, which
were now difcovered approaching, along with the
tranfports, with the view of cannonading the city
when it should be deemed advifeable, and of co-
operating in any other manner wherein they could
be ufeful to the common caufe.

The picquets of the advanced divifion of the army
were frequently alarmed daring this night, by irre-
gular parties of the enemy's horfe hovering near their
pofition, and endeavouring, as it teemed, to pats
between them and the lines ; bat the firing of the
advanced fentries obliged them to difperfe. It rained
heavily in the night, to which the troops were com-
pletely expofed : this, Added to the connant 'late of
alarm which they were under the whole night from
the enemy, and the fatigue and hardfhips of the pre-
ceding days, rendered their titration truly handling
and uncomfortable. The pleafing anticipation, how-
ever, of a period being put to all their fufferings by
the fall of Buenos Ayres on the following day, of
which not the moft remote doubt was entertained,
fupported their fpitits amidft tl a preffure of fatigue,
cold, and hunger. From come caufe or other, no
fpirits were Mud to the troops, neither could any
regular fupply of provificns be obtained : Some of
the troops had even landed without any provifions at
all, and were of courfe under the fevere necetfity of
trulting to precarious chance for firbfillence. Some
of the corps were, however, fortunate enough to
procure occalionally a fupply of bullocks and (keep,
when the enemy bad not fucceeded in driving them
all off. Thefe were cauroit and flaughtered by fome
natives who acconipft-...‘d the army for that pnrpofe,
and were found ear y attire and ufeful.
Jr is, perhaps, ncceffary to mention that the guide,
who ctirerfted the route of the army from the time of
its landing, was a Gentleman who had refided many
years under the protettion of the Spanifh Govern
ment at Buenos Ayrec, and who was intimately ac-
quainted with the country, and fully competent to
the uadertaking.—(To k continued )
