MACARSKA, NOVIMBER 19.

In order to relieve the indigent classes, his Majesty
(the Emperor of Austria) has commanded extraor-
dinary labittrs in all places where there may be found
vestiges of ancient monuments. A commi)sion com-
posed of Engineers and men of learning, has been
created for this purpose ; among the number •re se-
veral Professors of t!:e University of Padua, and the
chief of our Hellenists, the learned librarian of Venice.

His Majesty has aprointed a fund for part of the
es/gases; the rest will be borne by the Commune,
which will erjoy the monuments.
Tbis project of restor'n; the ancient monuments
will be attvactitgeous to th-e. Atts, and also for these
=tries, by exciting the interest of travellers. We
ost the idea to English speculators, who wanted to
inlarge districts in Cap° d'lstria and elsewhere.
'antler to derive pretit from them.

SOUTH AMERICA.

By the Grace, arrived at Dartmouth. and Lame'
it Jersey, we have received letters from Buenos Ayres
to 250 October, which, though of so very recent a
date, furnish us with no particular information in the
shape of news. They merely confii m our former
accounts cf the Portuguese having taken possession
rl the frontier fortresses of San Miguel and Santa
Teresa, and explain to us the occurrences at Monte.
iideo which had given rise to a report that the latter
place had been delivered into the hands of the Portu-
guese. It appear:, that a Spanish Colonel, of the
tame of Mueniumes, who had been employed by the
Bucaas Ayres Government iu drilling recruits, for
lame misdemeanor was banished, and at length found
is way to Montevideo. Here he formed a party,
ispessessed Aterwas's Governor of his command,
))I him in prison, and actually. took his place.—
a few days, however, the tables were turned upon
an, %ilea he was arrested, with 24. of his partizans,
Gavernor released, and MeRGIUND) confined in
is stead. From the silence of our accounts, we
lust therefore presume that the new Government of
se United Provinces of South America is under no
pprehensinns from the threats and attitude of the
itazilian army.
Several valuable prizes had arrived at Buenos
lyres, and more were expected. Trade there was
s a very depressed state, and French goods were in
b more demand than British. The price of prochce
as very high, as the French and North Americans
tare paying at the a ite of 4; dollars per hide.
In consequence of hides having advanced consi-
nably in price at Buenos Ayres, many persons
tide journies to a great distance in the interior, to
take purchases for exportation, and such quantities
ha reached the River Plate when the last advices
sine away, as greatly to reduce the prices. The
thooner Leon, that was intended to have been
had out as a privateer, had been tesold, and was
proceed to the United States with a cargo. The
‘ngress privateer was again preparing for a cruize.
