To the above are added two letters from the person

SEPT. 29.—The Journals of the Banda Oriental re-
port, that the Governor of the Province, having com-
municated to the Chamber of Representative the
documents relative to the arbittary arrest of Messrs.
Ferrera and Ocampo, the Chamber had passed the
decree approving the conduct of the Government, de-

trary, and contrary to the law; and at the same time
au:horijes the Executive Gyve:meat to make a formai
csmplaint of the violation of the law, and to commu•
nicate this resolution to the General, &c.

its Deputies; and that the military authority existing
in the province, are responsible to the Junta for the
infraction of the law;. This resolution passed un•

Ocr. 4.—General Brown has had a battle in the very

ort of Monte Video. Last Saturday he cast anchor
near the American frigate Boston, and hoisted the
American flag in the Sarandi ; after which he hoisted
the National flag. The Twenty-ninth of August then
came out and -fought with him for two hours.—
In the meantime, four more of our ships •f war, and
seven mote of the enemy, besides four gun boats,
came tut and commenced • battle, which conti-
nued three hoots. Our squadron retired, and the
enemy remained at anchor. Though we do not know
the result, it is impossible not to admire the intrepidity
of Brown in attacking the enemy with a.force so infe-
rior, and in sight of a place like Monte Video. Our
whole squadron had but 55 guns, whereas the enemy,
besides two 62-gun frigates, bad duce 18• gun brigs,
and other veswls.

BUENOS AYRES, Om 15.

An unpleasant occurrence took place during the late
cruize of Admiral Brown's squadron. The Sarandi had
parted company on the evening of the 26th ult. the rest
of the vessels whilst proceeding down the Not th Channel,
saw a frigate at anchor off Point Santa Maria (the British
Irigate Thetis, at single anchor, watering); thinking her

Brazilian, some shot were fi,ed at her from the schooner
bug Eighth of July, schooner Ninth of February.
and schooner Maldonado. Some of the shot passed
close to the frigate; the Captain of the latter was
in bed at the time, and came immediately upon deck.
The men at quatters had strict rudest not to the.—
Lieutenant BOLTON was dispatched to demand an ex-
planation, which was given to the effect, that being
night the frigate was taken for an enemy. An account
of the affair has been sent to Admiral Orw.ty, and the
Government will institute an inquiry.

Extract of a letter received at the North and South
American Coffee House, from Buenos Ayres, by the
Mail from Rot, dated October 16:—" The blockade is
a perfect farce: with proper caution any vessel might
enter our port. I have very little to enumerate in point
of domestic intelligence or politics. The war being
likely to continue, the exchange on England is at 12d.
the dollar. The provinces hate not yet sent the on
tingencies of troops, and our city is at present the focus
.of patty spirit. The privateers are committing great
havoc; Brown now and then takes a cruise down the
river to Monte Video in a schooner of war, and a
daynrgo was off the port with five schooners, and had
a skirmish with some frigates. The Blockading Squadron
now consists of eight vessels, under the command of
Norton, and repeated desertions take place on both sides."

The Garet,e of last night, amongst other diplomatic
appointments and changes of less importance, announces
that Sir Was. A'Couar is to become his MAJESTY'S
Representative at the Russian Court, and that Sir
FREDERICK LAMA is to remove from Madrid to Lisbon
in the same capacity.
