BUENOS AYRES.

The following is an extract of a private letter,
dated Buenos Ayres, September 1, 1820 :
" The Owen Glendower, Captain the Hon. It. C.
SPENCER, has teen the temporary flag-ship at Buenos
Ayres from January 13 to the present date ; she is
soon to be relieved by one of the smaller vessels cml
the station, and will proceed forthwith to Monte
Video and Maldonado to refit, preparatory to a trip
to St. Helena with money, after which she will return
to the Rio Plata to re-victual, and proceed round
Cape: Horn about December or January, to relieve
the Andromache, Captain SH IRREET. at' Valparaiso..
" This Buenos-Ayres is a strange place; and the
manners of the country people, the vexatious and in-
consistent changes of the Government, and the appa-
rent apathy and indifference of the great cause Which
they have continued in so long—their emancipation
from the yoke of Spain—make them appear con-
temptiele in the eyes of all who have looked upon
them hitherto'with any_ sentiment of liberality and
commiseration.
" What the alteration will be after all the strug-
gles for power whiCh we have witnessed during the
last eight months, no one knows. The changes of
Governors and Governments have in that time
amounted to a numlier past all belief, and scarcely
one of the many changes has produced a leader who
has been solely actuated by zealous and real patri-
otic motives. Whoever has obtained the seat of Di-
rector has been sure to fill his pockets—the revenue,
which is the only source of their present Ways and
Means, has always been the first object of the new
Governor to turn to his own advantage and that of
his friends. Trade had been almost at a stand, and
the commercial negociations of the interior have been
occasionally suspended fer months. Industry has
been paralysed by the people being constantly rated
to work themselves as military corps ; and it is feared
neither.the peasant nor mechanic will be able to re-
turn again to his work with the same feeling as before.
Here you see devotion without religion : an affecta-
tion of high-minded principles without a sense of
honour ; patriotism reduced to licentiousness, and in-
dependence to lawless robbery.
" The Province of Buenos Ayres, contains land
fertile and rich, capable of being cultivated to the
acme of advantage, where industry has only to shew
itself in the very infancy, and it will be richly re-
warded ; where the original manners of the people
are constantly good, their habits quiet, and a system
of regularity which is rarely to be met with ; where
food is particularly cheap, compared with other civi-
lized countries, and where the productions of the
globe may be obtained at prices scarcely exceeding
what you pay in the different metropolitan cities of
Europe ; and where the people, by a general voice,
relieved themselves from the greatest oppression pos.'
sible ' • yet this very Piovince, after having preserved.
itself free for ten years, during which time, it is wor-
thy of remark, it has never had a foreign enemy to
contend with ; this Province has been, for eight or
ten moaths, a prey to the wildest and most turbulent
conduct that could be evinced by man.
" Since January, 1820, the city of Buenos Ayres
ha; three times suffered under all the horrors of a
siege by their brothers, the country laid waste, vil-
lages sacked, murder and robbery in the noon day :
and for what? Merely to suppoit t 6 ambitious views
and pusillanimous conduct of six or eight people,
who distrust each other, and who keep up a toler-
able appearance only by command of money, and,
from the ignorance of the lower class of people.
. " The Federal Army of Santa Fe, assisted by the
discontented, under the command of Don Carlos
Lele, and some Chilians under Don Jos Mijuel Car-
rera, made war against the Government of Buenos
Ayres, and approached so near the town as to in-
terrupt the daily communication between the city
and its suburbs: each street was guarded with can-
non: the tops of houses taken possession of by thel
military ; houses and stores shut up ; the churches
appropriated to the reception of women and chil-
dren; everybody obliged to sleep with pistols and
swords by the bed-side. In shot t, we scarcely re-
collect to have witnessed such real misery and dis-
tress. These scenes are more lamentable, when, in
the midst of them, you see the leaders of the Govern-
ment cutting each other's throats for power and com-
mand; the Members of the Senate renowned for apa-
thy and want of talent; their Generals wanting not
only common prudence but common courage, and
neither order nor subordination among the troops
(this picture is not over charged), until about July
last, when a Colonel Dorrego was appointed Acting
- Governor, and to command the Army. Ile suc-
ceeded a General Soler (a poltroon), and has suc-
ceeded in making the Federal Army, retreat, beat
them in some skirmishes, sent in a number of pri-
soners, and eventually pursued the enemy to within
sixteen leagues of Santa Fe, and apparently going on
well, putting quite a new feature upon things. What
think you is likely to be the reward of this said gal-
lant Colonel, who has retrieved, in some measure, the
honour of the Buenos Ayrean arms, beaten the enemy,
raised the siege, restored to commerce a portion of its
securities? Why, at this very moment, daring his
absence, a party is making in the very essence of the
Government, to place another Officer over Dorrego
in rank and power!
" You will scarcely believe it, perhaps, when I say
I have_ witnessed the very soldiers selling their arms
and accoutrements during the siege, and at the very
moment when, by an order of Government, every one
had been called upon to furnish one male servant and
one horse for the use of the State—l say, at this very
moment I have had army accoutrements offered me
for' sale, at a price that would hardly afford the'
vender a day's food. A Commission has been nomi-
nated to try the Officers, forty-two in number, who
have been sent in as prisoners (most of them inha-
bitants of this town), and this very Commission is
afraid to act—afraid to do its duty r

The rumours in the Foreign Papers, relative to
the question between the Allied Sovereigns and
Naples, are, as usual, contradictory, but the prepon-
derance is in favour of the opinion that there will be
Do war, though reinforcements continue to be sent
to the Austrian army in Lombardy. The Public
feeling in Germany is represented to be decidedly in
favour of Naples.
