BUENOS AYRES.

EXTRACT OP A MERCANTILE LETTER, DATED BUENOS

AYRU, JUNE 13.

" This place h in the dullest state you can imagine
as respects business. The blockade has put a stop to
everything, and unless the British Government takes
up the business, and insists upon the parties in this quar-
ter being quiet, I am afraid we shall have a long and
dreary time of it. There is a sad change in the prospects
of Buenos Ayres within a year past.
" The Government now established is not generally
popular, particularly in the interior. Cordova has pro-
tested against the election of a President; and I much
apprehend that the other provinces are, for the most
part, averse to it. You know very well the jealousy
of the provinces regarding Buenos-Ayres, and will not
be surprised at this statement. I consider that every three
mouths of this war are a drawback of three years iron
the advances of this country towards civilisation and
good order. The expenses of the war are enormous in
comparison to the resources of the Government ; and I
really do not know from whence money is to be obtained
to carry it on for any length of time. The annual expen•e
of the War Department alone, it is pretty certain, will
amount to six millions of dollars. The Custom-house,
of contse now gives nothing, and this heavy expense
must be kept up by loans and heavy taxes. As for real
money, we may be said to have none. Dollars are
worth 40 per cent. premium ; at that price I know some
small parcels, expected from the interior, are contracted
for. We have nothing but Bank paper, and as the
Government is the greatest proprietor, and possesses the
exclusive influence in that establishment, the notes of
course are mere obligations of Government. It is ex-
tremely disagreeable to keep funds in this country,
where one cannot feel that they are quite secure ; but,
unfortunately. however much we may desire to do it,
we have no possible means of removing them. We are
looking out daily for Lord Ponsonby, whose interference
we look to as our present only hope of relief from a
most perplexing situation."
