By the GOLDFINCH, arrived at Liverpool, from the
River of Plate, advices from that quarter have been
received to the 29th of October. At that period the
Independent Government of Buenos Ayres had been
(thrown into the utmost consternation by the sudden
disappearance of theit Admiral, with four of their
principal ships of war, and a considerable treasure.
This Officer was an Englishman named Baows,
who went out to South Anierica as a mere adven-
turer, and being conversant in naval tactics, was
eagerly employed by the Buenos Ayres Govermwent.
In all his rencontres with the MontelVideans at sea,
he never failed to acquit hintsOf most gallantly,
and had thus completely gained the confidence of
his employers op to the time of his fight. Whither he
had gone, or what had caused his sudden treachery,
could only be matter of conjecture; but it was feared
by the people of Buenos Ayres that he had been
bribed to enter into the schemes of the Spanish and
Portuguese Courts, whom they believe to have coa-
lesced, for the purpose of reducing all the Indepen-
dents.. The recovery of his South American posses-
sions must, doubtless, be an object very near the heart
of FF.:ID:NAND VII.: and it is not improbably con-
jectured, that the projected matrimonial alliances be-
tween the Courts of Spain and Portugal have been
accelerate:: as much by a view to ibis object as to
'an other.
