RIO DR.LA PLATA.

We have been favoured by one of our readers with
the following letter from an English Settler at Rio de
la Plata I write this on my way to the Entre Rios,
having in charge a party of men, two of whovi belong
to me, and the others go ou account of the company, so
I am in hopes of getting a good house built before the
rest of the settlers come, which I am afraid will not be
immediately, as the Brazilians have blockaded the river,
and the Buenos Ayres Government have not yet suffi-
cient force to dtive them out. On the 9th February they
had an engagemelt, which we plainly saw from Buenos
Ayres ; but the Buenos Ayreans, after a fight of four
hours, were obliged to sun in. I can get a commission
here without any trouble, but the Association behaves in
soliberal a manner, that I should be a Inol to leave them.
—Mr. Jones, the agent here, is a very respectable man,
,and be gives me every assistance. He has given-me
seven hundred dollars to take the men and myself to
the settlement. I can now say what I know will greatly
gratify you, that I never fen so happy, or so indepen-
dent, in the whole course of my life. I often think,
when several passengers, who have hen discharged
from the Association, are doing all they can to make
the people discontented, on the anxious I.£e I spent for
the last twelve months in England. The passengers
have behaved so ill to Mr. Beaomont, that I doubt whe-
ther he will send another ship out from London, or
else I would not hesitate oi,e moment in coming here if
were you. Those who have been discharged from
the Association are determined to send to England the
grossest falsehoods; now, if you see any thing of it in
the papers, I wish you would have it contradicted, for
we are treated in the most liberal manner, much more
so than I could ever expect, and they are all perfectly
satisfied except six or seven, who think a pint of wine
per day n,t enough for them. If persons in England
could see the libel.' manner in which we are treated,
I think few of the middling classes would stop in Eng-
land. But, it I go oat any more in praise of the Assts.
.ciation, my paper will be tliled, so all that I will say

more is, that I was never so happy in my life, nor :rea*e
so. liberally.
4, February 24tb, 1126."
The tnllnwing letter, ftorn the same place, is some-
what different in its lstigoage :—" Do not encourage
any more emigration to this country, till the war with
Brazil is over, at any rate. The Government, in their
present difficulties, and exhausted stve of ttprds, have
it not in their power to assist them in any way, as every
farthing they have has been expended in fitting out a
squadron. The Dutch emigrants,' who were sent into
Monte Video by the Braz:lians, are actually starving,
and it is said that disease has much diminished their
numbers. Two hundred French emigrants have been
sent out of the River Plate by the Braillian blockading
squadron. The emigrants sent by the Rio de la Plat!
Agricultural Association, have arrived safe in Buenos
Ayres, and are well taken care of, but it is an enormous
expense, and here they remain doing nothing. How
they ale to' get to their settlement 1 know not. The
blockade is the ruin of every thing in the country.

COURT OF CHANCERY, JUN! 12.
EX PAItrE GRINSTEAD IN RE HOWARD AND GIBBS.

The Lon• CHANCELLOR read some further portion
of the evidence in this case to-day, and remarked upon
it as he went along. His Lordship observed, that on
Wednesday it would be his duty to d: cide whether or
not the Court was bound to believe the assertion of Mr.
thimstead, that the transactions in question were not
usurious—a cenclubion which appeared to him not ex-
actly warranted even by the evidence produced by the
petitioner himself.
