EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER PROM BARCELONA,
DATED MAY 3.

is We have recent arrivals from Costa Pirate. whence some
passengers have arrived. Their tale is pitiful. If the conduct
of our 'Monarch has reconciled 'aim to his subjects hi Europe,
and the re-establishment of the Constitution has made us as free
and hippy as we could wish, why should not an union be pre-
*fared to a fratricide war, that has now totally failed in the ex-
periment? There is but one feeling among us—why should not
this be the case beyond seas? Everything here goes on pro-
gressively consolidating, and we have, as it were, entered on a
yew xr.'. The Liberty of the Press is also doing wonders. In
this principality, every individual who can read, however poor
be may be, sees a Newspaper. A regenerating spirit pervades
everything, and every class. Children of twelve pears of age
are now formed into companies, and learn their czarist.
" On the 3oth ult. the Electoral Junta of this province took
}lace, ard lasted cid two in the morning. What a novel sights
From it what interesting re fitCtiOrlll gush on the mind, in whieh
Ido not, however. venture to indulge. Everything was con-
ducted with the greatest order and regularity, and no doubt we
shall :Ished in our election of those who are to represent us
in the a.l.roaching Cores. Yesterday our Government received
a Itoyal Order, by which it Is enacted, that all Friars who wish
to have their convents, and secularise themselves, shall be al-
low, dto do it. This day antihero have presented themselves
to obtain permission, and, from all appearances, we shall soon
see the convents inhabited by nothing but aged people, and of
these very few. Stereotype editions of the Constitution are
ireparing, in order that it may circulate aitiong all classes."

A vessel which left Rio Janeiro on the 17th of
March has'hrought advices from Buenos Ayres to'
the end of February. From these it appears that
some important changes have taken place at Buenos .
Ayres and in the neighbouring Provinces, but not of
a nature to threaten much danger to the interests of
those engaged in mercantile concerns in that guar-
ter. A letter from Buenos Ayres of the 23d of
February, says Though the public mind has
been considerably agitated here during the last three
week,, no disorder has taken place. The Governor
of this Province, SA RRATZA, is at Luzan, with ann.!
Cer Commissioner, 1.. r the purpose of making an
an angement with Santa Fe and Entre Rios, and we
expect that it will be concluded to-morrow."
The .nezociation alluded to has reference to Buenos
Ayres, Entre Itios, and Santa Fe. The negociators
%%ere, on the part of Buenos Ayres, Don MA NUEL
CARRA TEA ; on the part of Santa Fe, Don STA NIA-
LOVEZ; and on that of Enue Rios, Don FRANctsl
ltAmint.z. The Treaty is dated February 23, and is
stated to he entered into for the i urpose of putting
an end to the war which had arisen between them,
for provi,ing for their ulierior security, and for con-
centra.,in,t, then tortes and resources under one Fe-
deral Government.

The tollouing is an outline of the principal At-•
tides of the Treaty concluded between the parties:

Alt. 1. The contracting parsies declare that the wish of the
nation, and particulatly of the Provinces which they represent,
is in favour of the federal union which they new form ; but it
I...ecessary that this wish should be expressed by Deputies chosen
Ly the free election of the people. To this end there shall be
el::ted fur every Province its respective Representative, and the
tl..ze will meet in the Convent of San Lorenzo, in the provir.ce
oi Santa-Fe, sixty days from the ratification of this Ti eaty.—
And as they are persuaded that all the l'rearinces of the Nation
aiiiire to an union with one of the contracting parties, they will
invite and beseech them to concur, by their respective deputies,
that y may, as much as in them lies, promote the general weal.
Art. 2. All °Legacies to the friendship and good harmony of
the provinces of buenos Ayres, Santa-Fe, and Entre Rios,
created by a cruel and bloody war, excited by the ambition and
criminal views of certain men who had usurped the power of
the nation and despised the instruction of the towns which they
rlirevinel i^ C .r.Ercso, being removed, all hostilities shall cease
from the t: this Convention, the belligerent troops retiring
from Santa F. 4nd Intre Rios to their respective Provinces.

Art. 3. The Governments of Santa Fe and Entre Rios, both
in their (-son names and In that of their Provinces, recal to the
Itroic Province of Buenos Ayres, the cradle of the national li-
berty, the state of difficulty and danger to which the sister-pro.
vinces have been reduced by the invasion with which they are
117ex:coed by a foreign Power, which, with great forces, op.
pre.es the allied Province of the Bands Oriental. They leave
to the reilectien of citizens, so interested in the national lade-
7,ndence and happirrss, to calculate the amount of sacrifices
which resistance will cost thos_ provinces to an imposing army;
4-11 they expect from their generosity and patriotisin assistance
°portioned to the didiculty of the undertaking, convinced that,
eytrything will be done that lies within the range of possibility.
tit. i On the .Itivers U:rit;ay azd Parana no boats shall be

auottegi to ply but doe Aim friendly iirtirindes whose tern.
tory is washed by the said Rivers. The trade of the Rivers may
be afterwards arranged by Congress, to suit the views of the
contracting parties.

Art. S. Allows individuals who had repaired to Buenos Ayres,
(rain political differences, to return to their respective Provinces,
and enjoy their private property, even though they may have
taken up arms arinst their countrymen.

Art. 6. Provides that the boundaries of the Provinces, in case
of doubt, Will be settled by the General Congress of Deputies.
An. 7. Declares that the deposition of the antecedent Admi-
nistration was the work of the general will, on account of the
crimes by which they endangered liberty. They must, there-
fore, answer the demands of public justice before a tribunal ap-
pointed to try them.

This measure, it is added, is more particularly due to the
Chiefs of the Federal Army, who wish to justify the powerful
motives which. impelled them to declare war against Buenos
Ayrrs last November.
Art. n. Provides for freedom of trade in arms and munitions
of war.

Art. 9. Provides for the liberation of the prisoners of war,
.old their restoration to their respective Provinces.

Art. 10. This is the most curious article in the whole Treaty.
It states, that, although the contracting parties are convinced
that the articles above agreed to are conformable to the send-
mtnts and desires of the Captain-General of the Banda Oriental,
Don Joseph Artie% as has been stated by the Guvernot tit
l:utre Rios, who says that he has received private instructions
from the said most excellent Captain-General to that effect ;
yet, not having sufficient formal power to include him, they have
agreed to send lam a copy of the instrument, that, if it be agree-
able to him, he may enter immediately on those relations which
may be consistent with the interests of the Province wider his
command, whose incorporation with the other Federal Provinces
would be regarded as a happy event.
The two last articles provide for the withdrawing of the
troops, and the ratification of the Convention.

Yesterday the whole of the Cabinet Ministers
dined %,ith the Earl of HARROW/IY, at his house in
Grosvenor-square.

Her Grace the Duchess of WELLINGTON gave her
firstfete, for the present season on Tuesday night, at
A psley House: and it was one of the most prominent
of the many bnllhmtfetes, which, on teat night, blazed
forth upon the Fashionab.e World.—The Concert was
supported by some of the first talent in the Metro-
polis. Every part of the splendid mansion was bril-
liantly Lluminated and the new banqueting room,
which was aF propriated to the refreshments, presented
a beautiful coup d'cril. The superb service of perce-
laine, presented to his GrAce by the King of PRUSSIA,
was displayed in this noble apartn.ent, upon a num-
ber of spacious tables, and filled wi.h a profusion of!
fruits, ices, confectionery, &c. intermingled with
wines and liqueurs of the most riire and costly kinds.
Almost the whole World of Fashion m as present in
the course of the night ; fur, from eleven o'clock till',
nearly three on tie following morning, the carriages
were incessantly ri llii.g into the Con, t. The Ladies
were, in general, most splendidly attired. The follow-
ing were among the istinguished assemblage:
The Princes Leopold of Saze Cobourg, Paul Esterhazy, Cao
telcicalo, Sapieha, Radzivil, and Wolskonsky ; the Princes. Es.
terhazy ; the Dukes of Montrose, Beaufort, Argyle, and De-
vonshire ; the Duchess of Lluccleugh ; the Marquises and Mar-
chionesses of Hertford, Chohnondeley, Camden, and Salisbury;
the Niarquises of Anglesea and Backingliam ;'the Marchioness
of Bath ; the Earls Bathurst, Westmorland, blulgrave, Win.
chaise% and Harrington; the Coenteases Melvave, Dartmouth,
Roseberry, and Warwick ; and nearly the whale of the Foreign
Ministers.

Mrs. ALEXANDER BARING opened her splendid
mamion in Portman•square, on Tuesday night, with
a Grand Bali and Supper, and the fete was a most
superb one. The hoabe, within and without, was one
blaze of splendour; and all the approaches to it were
nearly blocked up with carriages. Two of the largest
en those noble rooms en the principal door, were fitted
up for the Ball, and three others were appropriated
to the Banquet. Superb draperies, resplendent and
gigantic mirrors, couches, and Ottomans, of the most
classical and costly designs ; innumegoble paintings,
by the first masters, ancient and modern ; and the
tzu •st rate and beautiful exotic and native plants, were
a few of the of namentswhich decorated these princely
apartments; the whole being illuminated by magni-
ficent chandeliers of richly cut chrystal glass, which
shed a flood of light on the brilliant scene below;
where nearly all the Rank, Beauty, and Fashion of
the Metropolis were assembled. It is almost impos-
sible to imagine a more resplendent scene. At one
o'clock the Lady hostess led her distinguished guests
to the Banquet. It is unnecessary to say that it com-
prised almost every delicacy which either art or
nature have produced, served upon superb services of
massive plate and beautiful china ; and set out with
all the tasteful decorations of inventive genius. After
supper the dance was very generally resumed, and
the fascinating scene was not entirely deserted till be-
tween four and five o'clock yesterday morning. His
Royal Highness the Duke of GLoncasrEn was pre-
sent; as were also the whole of the Foreign Princes;
but to give the names of the whole of the distin-
guished assemblage, would be to give a list of almost
the whole World of Rank and Fashion. There were
upwards of four hundred persons present.
