MONTE VIDEO, Auctusx 7.
A letter from Buenos Ayres M tlanctroly and deplorable
is the situation of this great city, which has stink from the summit
of its greatness to an abyss of wretchedness. Her glory has disap-
peared. Every thing is in confusion, disorder, and extreme misery.
Du: mg the eight months we were devoured by the hydra of civil
war, t•titi since the unhappy elections of the 26th July, there is no
species of violence and "caudal that has not been committed by the
agents of the Executive Power. Almost all the Federalists and
perbons of respectability, property, and knowledge, have suddenly
ah:ndoned the city, and withdrawn to the country to join General
Basal. Innumerable passports have been applied for, to leave the
i Republic preferring to leave their concerns and business to
themselves up with factions. On the Ist of Decem-
r the mortal blow was struck, when all the institutions
and laws of the Republic were set at defiance. If civil
war breaks out again, of which there appears to be no
ds übt, the people will experience the most dreadful fate.
T'in.t.ands of wretches must perish for want, and others sell every
st!.dt to exist with their families, and be reduced to beggary.-

that filed many houses? it is now said that General Lavalle

likewise said that those without the city form a battalion called Los
Decidios--" Determined Fellows." under the command of Don
Ale- Barros I have been assured that, two days ago, the Com-
hr ordered one of his dependants, of the name of
co proceed to this port with 4 guu-boat from Barmen,
le quantity of ctores. ammunition, cartridges, grape-
tr-pounders; and which one of the parties outside of
compelled to return, and finally unloaded her of every
board, and abandoned the vessel.

tpect. The most disgraceful thing is, that a foreign

house in the City, posted at the North and
terican Coffee-house: .

" Mesico, August 12.
have to inform you, that official information has
ived to the 3d August from Tampico, with an
of an engagement having taken place between
!xicans and double the number of Spaniards. The
made the most determined resistance, and did

could be hoped or expected from great courage

killed and wounded, and only 60 of the Mexicans
"led and wounded. It is believed that about 4,000

troops must have, before this time, been en-
, The Mexican reinforcements are on the way

the Spaniards will very soon be totally dis-
and that the same will happen to any further sup-
. troops which may arrive from the Havannab,
lich may be reasonably expected, from what oc-
from former contests of the Spaniards, by the
from their perseverance and sacrifices under
perils. Than the present, there has not been thao.
