have embarked at Rio Janeiro for this object, which
has occasioned the hasty departure of fifteen handfed
men for the opsosite side of the river, the whole of
whom are to be commanded by Ferrada. I consider,
that whenever this occurs, the Portuguese will be
able to take possession of the whole of the noposius
side of the River Plate, which is what they have so
long contemplated and wished for.
" Monte Video is so closely blockaded by our arm?,
that it is competed to subsist upon whatwever provi-

hold out to thelast, and AS some of our-bombs have
fallen in the town, he says, that if our army does net
decamp immediately, he will give orders that the
blockading squadron shall fire bombs into Buenos
Ayres. Tomorrow an expedition of 1500 melt will
rail to reinforce our army on the other side of the
Iriver, and oppose, if possible, the Portuguese who
are destined to succour the town. The Army of
