Their contents are not of much interest. The dew.

place on the 17th. The convoy consisted of forty.
eight transports, escotttd by eight men of war. On the

Since this month has commenced we have had scarcely one claw
sunshining day ; on the contrary all over this district the rain be
descended in torrents, laying the low land one or two feet under
water, the grass and grain fat, the potatoes under water, and
Greeting great alarm amongst the tamers. Wheat and Sour has
rather advanced in consequence.

TROY TM MONTRIAL COURANT.

M. Buchanan, Esq. brother to the British Connd at New Yak,
arrived in this city on Saturday, on his way to Quebec, within.
patches to his &eatery the Governor, from the Colonial Olice.
Negociations have again commenced between his Majesty's Minis.
tens and the. Government of the United States, for opening the cam.
merce between the British West India Islands and the ports 0
the Union.

By the arrival of the schooner Leo at Baltimore, the
following intelligence has been received at the Nord:
and South American Coffee House from Buenos Ayreb,
dated lSth June:

The rumours of peace, which have been so strongly circulated
for the last four months, are now gradually dying away, and the
business of the city recovering. The blockade is still strongly en-
forced by the Brazilians, notwithstanding which we have frequent
arrivals. The Patriots have gained a signal victory over their ens-
mies in the Banda Oriental, which will be an inducement to carry
on the war with renewed vigour. The very heavy charges
and the enormous freight and insurance required to be paid, leave
but a small profit on any article that is sent here. Goods of all
descriptions are not so high by 351 per cent. as they were last
week. In fact, the slightest report affects the market sensibly.
which is kept in cooti eeee al agitation by the speculators. Yesterday
doubloons were at 44, to day they are at 51, and as doubloons rise
and fall, so are all etudes of merchandise affected.
When the Leo left Buenos Ayres it was reported that the Bra.
Alien fleet had captured a full rigged brig. An Hermaphrodite
brig had been seat into Monte Video. The schooner Express wet
also captured and sent to the same place. The first division of the
blockading fleet was lying twelve miles from Buenos Ayres, under
the command of the new Admiral, Grenfell. The second division
of siz sail was of Ensenada. and the third division off Pole
Indio. It was thought at Buenos Arm that an attack upon tie
town was in contemplation from the circumstances of the Bra-
zilians having so large a force in the river, and from their stadia!
in flags of truce upon every trivial occasion.
