By advices from Buenos Ayres to -he 28th Oc-
tab r, we learn that the Regiment of Free Blacks,
No. 10, had proceeded on hom Santa FC to Men•
r ir the purpose of completing the 4000 men
with which General SAN MARTIN is to open the cam.
paign against Chili, by passing the Cordilleras in De-
cember. General DIAZ VELSZ, and others, had been
arrested for an attempt to subvert public order. The
liberal and judiciow. conduct of the Supreme Director.
Bunesoos, had restored peace and confidence to thel
Capital of Buenos Ayres and the whole country,
where past disorders had paralyzed internal and ex.'
ternal trade; and the spirit of faction having now
given way to better sentiments, the Government had
determined on the recal of all the Patriots who had
been banished through personal animosities. The
Congress was expected to come down from Tucumani
to Buenos Ayres in November. By this the Go-
vernment will be more concentrated. The Royalist
army in Peru occupies its old positions; and though;
at one time it threatened to advance on Salta, it only
got as far as Catagaitia (between Potosi and *Hai),
where it is harassed by the Patriots under Gunnels,
who cut off its supplies.
" In the Eastern Provinces, the Portuguese meet
with more difficulties than they were prepared to
surmount with European troops, unhabituated to such
a species of warfare. Attricas has collected his
myrmidons on the hanks of the Uruguay, and only
left 1,000 men to observe the mov,:.nents of the Por-
tuguese. As the latter march its distinct columns,
he intends to attack the weakest first. He has already
been successful, and after beating one division near
Missiones, and successively several detachments, he
drove the invaders out of the town of San Borja, of
which he took possession. He then penetrated 24.
leagues into the Brazil territory, which be intends to
make the chief seat of his retaliation. Here tonsi-
-1
derabla alarm bas been excited, which the Govern-
nent has attempted to allay by an Extraordinary
Gazette, lamely' patched up.
" A ftTlGises activity and enterprise are well known,
and the warfare he is enabled to carry on with his
mounted Tartars, will not only be destructive, but
as the'slate, and a great part of the indigenous po-
pulation, is extremely dissatisfied, it may be also at-
tendtal with serious consequences. This European
Cow t and Officers have no idea of the nature of the
struggle into which they have rushed, particularly as
the attempt is very unpopular with the native Brazi-
lians. Orders, however, are said to bare gone over
to General BeititNeoep to send out 63(7.1 more troops.
.411°04v:dee has a garrison of 1500 men, and the
country people will enter as the Portuguese advifte.
The ships which entered Maldonado are said to have
left it. They had only 500 men on board."

BRUSSELS, JANUARY 27.

• We receive Irom all quarters, from the parts where
the troops of the' Army of Occupation aft cantoneJ,
unanimous ,reports respecting the generosity of the
Commanders, Officers, and even of the soldiers. In
all the garrison towns, subscriptions have been open-
ed for the relief of the indigent. The troops in the
cantonments contribute also on their side, by various
means, to lessen the distresses of the poor. The
French Minister at War has signified', in the King's
name, to the Commanders of the Second Corps, his
thanks for this benevolent and generous conduct.—
A great many vessels laden with corn for the Rus-
sian and Prussian troops have arrived at Givet, and
more are expected.
If we may believe letters from Cambray, the Duke
of Wellington, on leaving Paris, witl come and spend
a few days here. " There are reasons, for supposing
that negociattons are on foot, in which the Cabinet
of the Netherlands is concerned, though the object
of them is nut known.
