The following Is an extract of a letter from the
Agent of the North and South American Coffee House,
dated BUENOS AYRES, Jour 23, ten.

" The blockading squadron off this port now consists
of three corvettes, four brigs, and four schooners, under
the command of Norton ; merchant vessels, however,
continually arrive, besides a considerable commerce
carried on in small craft, between Buenos Ayres, the
River Uruguay, and Parana. Some heavy privateers
mean if the class of brigs and schooners) lately sailed
from this, are now on the Brazil coast, have made va-
luable captures, many of which are now is the bar•
boors of the Republic, others destroyed. inflicting severe
loss upon Brazil. The latter arecloud in their curses
upon the " maldito corsairs de Buenos Apes." There
have been 23 privateers fitted out at Buenos Ayres,
and they, in conjunction with the vessels of war, have,
during the present hostilities, captured upwards of 179
vessels of all desctiktions from the Brazilians; and if
the war lasts, the Brazilian coast will be entirely swept,
Adequate convoy cannot be afforded: most of their
ships of war ate in the river ?We, and must remain
there to keep up the blockade. Admiral Brown's escns-
drilla are at present inactive in the inner roads : divisions
of them n sw and then sail to Martin Garcia, about 30
miles distant. We have heard nothing lately from the
Buenos Ayrean squadron at Patagonia., It, is expected
that they are now at VA. That force consists of two
corvettes of 22 guns, one schooner brig and a schooner;
all well manned, and under the command of an active
and brave Englishman, Captain George Upson.
6' We have had a considerable stir lately in our
domestic politics, of which you must be content with a
very brief account. 0 i the 2251 April last the Eclipse
packet sailed to Rio Janeiro from this, having on board
Don Manuel Garcia, appointed as Agent for the put•
pose of negotiating a peace, under the avowed media-
tion of Great Britain. On the 19th June a boat arrived
from 'Monte Vide to a mercantile house here, with news
that the British sloop of war Heron (Garcia on board)
was at Monte Video from Rh Janeiro, with the preli•
minaties of peace signed. We had a great confusion
in the markets—all sellers, no buyers. Doubloons fell
from 55 to 52 ; goods of all descriptions were offered
almost at any price ; and from the consternation of the
speculators, and the 1 t:le joy expressed by any class of
people, you would not then suppose Buenos Ayres re-
quired peace. On 20. b June the Heron arrived. Garcia
landed, and very soon it was known that the terms were
inadedissible, and the war articles of commerce again
advanced in price. When the Government made public
Garcia's treaty, the indignation of the people wrs ex
treme: he not only acted contrary to his instructions,
but signed mo-t degrading terms, not warranted by
the actual stare of Buenos Ayres, and at a time when
the army of the latter were in the heait of their enemy's
territory of Rio Grande. The disputed province of the
Banda Oriental, wrested from the Brazilians, the latter
only occupying the fortresses of Monte Vicfro,Colonia, St
Maldonado; the Iter übhcan vessels of war and privateers
in full success ; the commerce of Brazil suffering in the
extreme. Terms more galling could hardly have been
proposed if the flag of Brazil had been flying upon the
fort of Buenos Ayres. Our Ambassador, Lord Pon-
sonby, and Consul General Mr. Parish, strongly de-
fended Garcia and the treaty he had signed; in conse-
quence of which they have to endure a coosiderable
share of odium. I regret to write you that public
opinion in Buenos Ayres is far from favourable to his
Majesty's Agents in this quarter ; not particularly for
approving the peace, but for having, previous to
the Government publication, given a version to the
Treaty not exactly in accordance with the Treaty itself;
by which means many Englishmen ha'e compromised
themselves with their Creole friends. It is a pity that
a man like Garcia should have been selected for such a
mission—better hive sent any one but hint. Foreigners
in Buenos Ayres have seized the present occasion to
vomit forth all their malice against us and our country,
accusing us of a wish to cripple Buenos Ayres, to get
the Banda Oriental under English influence. which they
add, would have been in a degree effected but for
bungling Diplomatists. The natives call us false friend
that they relied entirely upon us, and appear astonishe
that any one can defend a man like Garcia, he having
so notoriously violated his instructions, and sneeringly
doubted English political honour. Altogether, it has
been a most unlucky affair, and we Englishmen

there is nb such ti.ing as a mob, and

even in this case draw a wide distinction between
the resident British and our Ministered To add to
the irritsrion, the Forte ftigate came up from
Monte Video, sent for on a sudden (the sloop of war
Heron was laying hire at the time). 'The Gazettes of
Buenos .Ayres, were very severe upon Lord Ponsonby,
stating that his Lordship knew nothing of the Buenos
Ayreans, or he would nut have sent for the ftigate, and
regretting that he ever came to the country—asserting
that men of rank had generally too mean an opinion of
the people they were sent amongst. A. thirty's have
turned out, his Lordship's embassy must have been any
thing but agreeetsle. Certain it is, that 80 licences
were sent to North America for privateers, and only
three have been made use of ; the N .rth Americans

supposing that the war would not be of long du. ation,
fr. in the circumstance of England having sent Noble-
men to mediate. Garcia has published his defence: it
is full of sophistry, acknowledging that lie violated his
instructions,•but dwelling upon the necessity of the cue,
the few resources of Buenos Apes, &c. kg. It bas
mask no impression—how could n?
" The late events have had one good effect—it seems
to have united all parties—the President Rivadavia has
resigned, a new Ministry has been formed, in which
the Opyositionists bear apart—and the provinces, it is
thought, %sill now cordiary unite tinder the federal sys-
tern. Don Vincent Lopes is the new President; he Is a civi-
lian of considerable acquirements. AU ate unanimous

to carry on the war, and this unanimity may bring
about $ peace. The anarchy of the provinces was the
chief hope of Brazil. We have a considerable party
spirit in Buenos Ayres, some declaring that the re-
sources of the country are still untouched, the war in
many instances a benefit ; others retorting that the ex-
penses have fallen upon the foreign merchants. and that
they ue the only sufferers by the depreciated paper
money—That direct taxation must soon take place to
support the war. to avoid the odium, of which Rivada.
via cunningly resigned.
" Garcia is a man of considerable political acquire.
mews; little can be said of his political honesty, at least
so report has said for many year" past. You will see
that I have written this letter to you in a hurry, and
hope you will excuse its imperfections.
" A law has been passed prohibiting tiHe exportation
of specie. The effket has been that ounces of gold have
risen to 65 paper. Dollars and goods of ail descriptions
have got up 30 per cent."

Two Spanish frigates and a sloop were off the port; the
latter was sent in for the exchange of prisoners.

Letters and Papers were received yesterday from
India, to a very late date, by his Majesty's ship Athol,
arrived at Portsmouth. They inform us that a severe
battle has been fought in Upper kdia, between a nu
memoirs body of the Afghan tribes, ~,insisting of Ya
Ntu zees, ste. and the tionps of RAJAH RUNJIT
SINN the former commanded by YAR MOHAMNIRD
KHAN. of Peshaster, and a religious fanatic, named
SYR]) Austen AL!; the latter by Booms &NH, and the
French Officers, ALLARD and YesTuaa. The Afghan
army consisted, it is sai.l, of 90,000 infantry and 10,000
horse, whilst that of RUNJIT'S amounted to only be•
tween 15.000 and '20,000 men. The armies net on
the banks of the Indus, near to the village of Seydeo,
when the attack was commenced by the Afghans; but
the greater part of th. it host being ill armed, and worse
organised, made no imptession on the Sikhs, who, after
repelling two desperate but disorderly movements upon
their position, advance.' to the charge with groat deter-
mination, and put their enemies to the route. In the
flight, great numbers were sacred by RUNJIT'S cavalry.
and a body that had taken shelter in the village of
Seydeo, was surrounded, and entirely destroyed The
Afghans lost eight pieces of artillery, and about 100
swivels, and their camp was plundered by the victors.
It was not known in what direction the chief. had fled;
it was, however, thought probable that the enemy
would not be able to make head against the Raj th's
troops, the dispersion haviag been complete. The date
of these advices from the Punjaub is to the beginning
of March. At tills time Roadie Strut was m Lrhore,
in ill hearth, and consequently unable, to his *rent re-
gret, to t rke the field. The French officers had been
ordered, after the battle, to proceed towards Peshawer,
and to take po sues of the citadel ; but it was thought
the timely submission of YA ft MoHAMMID would cause
a suspensicn of hostilities.
