BIJEtCOOS AYRES.
The Buenos Ayres Papers contain a printed Bulletin
of the 19th October, announcing the defeat sustained
by the Brazilian troops in the Banda Oriental, and
adding that they were in full retreat towards Rio
Grande. The following is a copyist' the bulletin:
BANDA ORIENTAL.--(VICTORY OF SARANDI).
Its new impossible that the Despot of Brazil should
hape to aggrandise his empire by the. slavery of our
province. The Orientalists have just given to the world
an induttitable proof that they know how to- estimate
liberty at its proper value. Two thousand soldiers se-
lected from the Brazilian cavalry, and commanded by
Col. V. Manuel, have been completely defeated yestet-
day on the coast of Sarandi by an equal force of
those valiant patriots whom I Dave the honour to
command. That division, as haughty as its commander,
had the audacity to expose itselfin open field,ignorant no
doubt of the braveryof the arm y which they thus insulted.
To see and engage with as *as but the work of a moment.
—There was no :mortaring on either side; the busi-
ness was the charge, which certainly appeared the
most formidable that can be imagined. The enemy
commenced with a vigorous fire, which our men, die-
regarding with sword in hand, and carbine on shoulder.,
met according to My orders; they sabred and confused,
them in such a manner as to put them to flight, and
then pursued them till they were completely dispersed.
The result was, that of the enemy's force ti-are were on
the field of battle mote than four hundred dead. four
hundred and seventy of the line prisoners, and fifty.
two °dicers, without reckoning the wounded and dis.
persed, which we are still ,picking up in all quarters.
There were more than two thousand arms of every de-
scription, 12 chests of munitions, and all their cavalry.
Our loss consisted in one Officer dead. thirteen
wounded ; and thirty soldiers dead, and 70 wounded.
—TheGenerals, Officers, and troops, are all most de-
Scoring of the title of valiant. The brave and well
deserving Brigadier Inspector, after distinguishing
himself will the greatest glory during the whole action,
fail by a small force which had escaped our swords. I
Shill detail the particulars of this most memorable
attioh co the first opportunity ; at present mote import-
ant buiiness ekes not permit me to do so. The Serjeant-
Major, who-is charged with the detailed accounts of the
army, and bearer of this, will inform your Excellency
of the other particulars which you may desire to know.

" Camp at Salons, Nov. ti, MS.
" On the 21st, General Gouras and myself quitted
our camp for the purpose of intercepting, near Ther-
anopyla, the provisions which the enemy impatiently
expected. Arrived at Boatounitza, we fell in with
General Yawn, who had preceded us; and after we
had deliberated on the plan we were to follow, we took
up a position for the night near to Therniopylst; Vassos
in the centre, Gouras on the right, and myself on the
left wing.
" On the 24th, before sun-rise, the enemy marched
opt in order from ' Alumnae ;. our videttes perceived
than advancing cautiously, and examining the ground
• Wove, them. At length they approached the position
occupied by Vassal, and immediately that General,
teconJed by Limas. fell upon the Turks and drove
them back to the plain. With respect to myself, being
'unfortunately conducted by ignorant guides, I did' not
anise in sufficient time to cut off their retreat, so that
1 did not firs a single musket in the affair.
"Ois the 24th tae formed a junction at Roussali, for

who were marching,upon Zeitouni. On the 29tli, at
day.brealt, we perceived t considerable convoy of pro-
visions, escorted by 800 Albanians. who Were march-
in order, with their colours flying. When they
approached the position which appeared to us most
advantageous, I spurns forward, and before ten musket
shots were. tired on the one side or the other, I fell on
the Albanians sword in band.: any soldiers followed,
and we gained a complete victory: The contest was
obstinate enough, for it lasted four hours, but the Turks

was avenged on the 291 h fog the disappointment occa-
sioned by my guides on the 24th.
