PARIS, OCT. 4.
. 61 the 27th tilt. the Emperor visited Flushing ;
' be was very much satisfied with the immense works
' which the engineers have executed there.
Fort Montebello is mounted with 80 pieces of can-
non, and has a casemated redoubt. The sea-front
of Flushing is defended by 100 36-pounders, and 60,
12-inch . mortars. Great improvements have been
made in the rear of Flushing ; sluices have been form.
ed which will produce an inundation of in toises;
good covered ways, good glacises, and three crown-
ed works rest upon Forts St. Hilaire and Montebello,
and place the fortress out of the reach of bombard-
ment. Fort St. Hilaire, mounted with 50 cannon,
is connected with Fort Rameskins by intermediate
, forts. Fort Rameskins covered by a crowned work,
• which also is protected by inundations ; dikes divided,
and again united by dams of mason-work ; galleries
of mines wrought to the distance of 60 toises in the
• dikes, so as to blow them up should it be necessary ;
... vich is a sketch of the immense works constructed at
-Flushing within these two }'ears. It is true that the
land fortifications alone have cost, during that time,
abode nine millions. Already the powder-magazines,
' the magazines for provisions, and the arsenal, are ren-
dered bomb-proof. These works have placed Flush-
ing in the rank of fortresses of the first order.
The sea-works have al-so been considerable. AU
the quays of the basin which- the English wished to!
destroy have been repaired. • The mines by whiCh. the
enemy endeavoured to blow up the sluice were so ill.'
directed, th.it they did not completely effect their ob-
, ject. . The sluice will be refitted this year ; and 10
ships of the line, completely equipped, will be able
to enter the basin, which was not the case before..
the general magazine, which the English blew up,'
has been rebuilt,_ and rendered bomb-proof.
. On the 23th his Majesty went to Middleburg and
Terveere. He ordered new works for increasing the
fortifications of Terveere, which it is important should
be. made a good fortress.
On the 29th, at five in the morning, the Emperor
repaired to Terneuse, to visit the works of the basin
which is there constructing, and which 40 ships. of
he line will be able to enter as well at low as at high
Water. There are 60 feet of water at the foot of the
ikes of Terneuse and this important point rests upon
roads of Terneuse- and Baerlandt.
After.examining the works of the basin, he went
the Scheldt in his boat to Batz, where he arrived
•leven in the evening. He visited the works which.'
constructing therefor securing the passage of the
feltof Berg-op-zoom, of which fort Betz is only
sidoubt. • He then went on board his yacht, and
we in the morning arrived at Antwerp, well satis.

INTIMATION RECEIVED ON THE MORNTNq OP TILE leTll,
AFTER itiE TOWN HAD BEEN ROMEARDED, wiIItOUT
ANY COMMUNICATION ON THE PRECEDING NIGHT.
" The Viceroy of these provincee has placed under
my Command a strong armed squadron to bombard
Buenos Ayres. This severe means, to which he might
justly have resorted, from the moment that, by the
rejection of his moderate and beneficent proposals, he
became acquainted with the dissembled views of the i
Junta, he never would have adopted against a woe.'
I,
tny and innocent people. bad not the atrotiOus con-
duct of the subjects of the Junta toveards Monte Video '
called for vengeance, and a vengeince proportioned
to the outrages committed on that same people, to '
whom Buenos Ayres owes the liberty she has enjoyed,
' and which she has now unhappily lost.
" With match in hand, and in the space of two
hours, I wait for the decision of the Junta, on which
depends either the peace and tranquillity of Buenos
Ayres and Monte Video, or the most terrible destruc-
tion. If peace be preferred, then these are the terms
—Buenos Ayres shall not be attacked, nor her poris
kept in a state of blockade—the Junta shall withdraw
the troops sent to the eastern coast, and all shall de.
part to their own habitations.
" All things shall remain in the same condition
they were in at the arrival of the Viceroy, and tlak
Officers who were then in posts and situations &half li
return to their respective. commands. !
" No prosecutions nor arrests shall take place on
account of any opinions held, or part taken, cithet
pro or con, with respect to Spain and the Junta of
Buenos Ayres.
" Whoever chooses may repair to that city, and all
shall be left in the peacefulpossession of their fortunes.
" Should Spain (which seems impossible) be sub-
I dued by the Usurper, his Excellency will use all his
efforts to establish a close connection betwixt the two
i places. But if Spain preserve her independence, how
can a colony be called upon to separate from the mo-
ther country ?
" His Excellency will mite no hostile steps against
the Junta of Buenos Ayres till the decision -of the
Ipanish Government respecting recent events be
madi known. . *
ille rejection of these offers, so equitable in thes
selves, or a delay in making a categorical reply, shall
be the signal for hostilities, and the order for the rel.
treat of the troops to Monte Video; the delightful in=
dication of peace and tranquillity. Pending the ne-
gociation, no military operations shall•take place.
" I am empowered by his Excellency the Viceroy -
to make these proposals to the Junta, who will be
'.responsible to GOD, and to humanity, for whatever
may befall the good city of Buenos Ayres.

REPLY of THE JUNTA. •
14 Neither the haughty tone of insult you employ,
nor your fierce threats, capable only to influence thlt
weak and fearful, are able to induce the Government
of Buenos Ayres to abandon their just measures of
defence against the audacious attacks by which they
lutve been assailed. In like manner, they will be re-
sponsible to the opinion of the impartial only, who
'can never approve of a conduct truly worthy of the
execration of mankind ; being opposite to those rules
established by civilized nations, not to trample under
foot the rights of humanity, by actions in war, which
having no ulterior object that may serve for a justifi-
cation, prove only the inhuman disposition of that
officer who can coolly contemplate evils occasioned'
by his eagerness to maintain an authority, derived to

Most Excellent Senor—After the laborious preisa,
rations and ittmendeus noise with which, to the',
;astonishment of the enemy, our battery opened, aftei.
several dayi of a constant and well'supported fire, I •
found myself under the necessity of interupting our
operations, from want of powder. On the oneliand,
the- accomit of the damage and loss whichh-tie had
occasioned itithe place; and on the other, its strong
.sittiation, which mocked the efforts of our artillery to
demolish its .walls, were powerful motives with me
for abating aomewhat of our original exertions. la
this situation elle difficult but not impracticable de.
sign of attacking the bland of Ratas occurred to me,
which being fortified with ten pieces of canatin; iii
of twenty-lour pounds, two of eighteen, and two of
twelve, planted At those points where only the troops
could be disembarked, must necessarily cause a con-
siderable expenditure of powder, to save which was a
principal motive of the undertaking, combined with
the apprehensions the enemy entertained of the known
valour of our troops.
Having arranged the plan with my Major-General
D. Miguel Gotamslao Solu. I prepared for its execu-
tion, making use for this purpose of the boats which
some private persons had at Mignelette, and which
were secretly brought, in order to be removed to the
Casa de Fillipmas, exactly at that point where it was
necessary for the troops to form a junction. The
night of the 13th was destined for the enterprize ;
but when the troops were on the point of embarking,
a storm arose, accompanied with so much rain, that
I was for the present compelled to desist, by reason
of the boats being small. This was fortunate, since
PROVIDENCE, which watches over our welfare, and has
visibly taken us under its protection, had that evening
conducted to the foot of the battery two large
launches belonging to the frigate Iphigenia ; one of
them' the largest in the harbour, with t"2 oars, and
every thing else corresponding...
With thisveiy seasonable assistanee the traops'em-
barked on the night of the 16th, in the numbeio that
is specified in the statement that accomptoies this
dispatch, the boats being under ihe diiScuca of the
Pilot, D. Pablo Jufriategui, who, from his firm at-
tachment to the sacred cause, has served as a volun-
teer in the Army under my command, and whom I
have appointed to the situation of Adjutant of Ar-
tillery, the duties of which, as well as those of
Commander of the Battery, When i has devolved
upon him in turn, he has discharged with intrepi-
dity. The lauding was effected very happily, al-
though one of the centinels on the island gave the
alarm, having perceived the approach of the boats ;
having been reinforced from before Monte Video, by D.
Juan Jose Quesada, commander of the troops, in con-
sequence or my instructions, a short delay took place ;
of which the rowers, who then approached. the land
with great courage, availing themselves, our gal
lant soldiers leaped on shore, and the first who de-
steeded into the ditch, serving as a ladder for the
others, who on their shoulders climbed the wall—
they surprised the garrison, whom the sentinel had
alarmed, and who was killed by a'musket ball.
The commander, 1). Francisco Raiz, with more
bravery than his troops, ran with a pistol in one hand-
aad a lighted match in the other ; hat before he could
reach the cannon he was making for, shared the same
fate with the sentinel. The enemy's troops being in-
timidated, threw down their arms, and remained pri-
soners. At this moment Guesada, with the other
officers, in consequence of my previous orders, put
on board above twenty quintals of powder, the am-
munition of the garrison, and having spiked the 10
pieces of cannon, re embarked, taking with them
only seven prisoners, which were all that the boats
could hold. Then follow, in the original dispatch,
encomiurns upon the different Officers engaged in the
expedition, which are here omitted.
.it is unnecessary to detail to your Excellency the
consternation which this unexpected success has
caused among the enemy. The testimony of those
who have been among them, and the silence which
yesterday and to-day the place has kept, notwith-
standing a brisk fire from our batteries, put this beyond
a doubt. I shall soon have the honour of making
communications to yOur Excellency of equal impor-
tance, (signed)

squadron, when she retired close in.sliore, At half-
past' ten o'clock, they commenced throwing shells
into the city, which
.were pretty thick, for about two
hours. I picked up part of a shell which burst very
near Mr. Mackinuon's house. It was a truly distres-
sing sight to see the women running and screaming
about -the streets, with their children in their arms,
begging protection.- 'Chore have been some few woun..
ded ; and 4 Creole woman and her child killed.

which perforated their roofs, and knocked every thing.
to pieces wherever they burst. Qn the following
morning, the squadron lay off the town, consisting of
a .brig of war, three schooners, with gun boats and
bomb vessels, amounting to nine sail. •
" At eleven o'clock the Commodore of the fleet,

country. . We were fearfully looking out for the v.
nesval of the scene which occurred on the 15th, it
being a most favourable night for hostile undertaking

"On following Saorning, the enemy was seen
Standing' for the opposite- coast ;' eitily five adieu.
Teasels were in sight. Vat ciadlil occasion this
movement we have not been able to ascertain, as he
might have done us much:mischief in the preceding
night. It is thought thit the vessels which the
the shells were damaged, and that the Conamodire
had retired to' the other side'to repair them.
" The Junta, however, having its cottemplatioa
their reoirn, thinking it high thneto adopt some de.
cisive measures to prevent the repetitiun df three
seenees which had been recently acted, sent an order
to the Commandant of Ensinada to take forcible poo
session of several of the English ships, and to ma
them for the defence of the town. (This etas dohe
on Tuesday, the 15th of July). A. person here of
the name orTaylor was appointed to take the chief
command, having volunteered his services for clot
purpose. He was to select such resters is he thougl.t
most proper ; in consequence he •ehole the four fol-
lowing, viz. the Bell, Lord Wellington, Charming
Kitty, and Duchess of York.
' " The Government 'offered great inducements to
volunteers; in conseqnetice, every Man ar.d boy ve-
lunteered to fight their ship, with the mate at their
head. Most of the crews belonging to other vessels
in Ensinada followed this example. The vessels are
therefore manned 'with British and American sub.
jetty.. The latter are particulaily vehement against
Elio for his behaviour to their countrymen ; so roach
„sot thaescithe of the American Captains have offered
their men a premium to fight in the cause of the
Junta. The Government have also put in commis-
sion a ketch, which mounts 20 guns, belt eging to
themselves. They have likewise taken guns front
the other ships, to put on board thole which are taken
up. The Bell now mounts•l6 guns, the Lord Wel.
lington 16, Charming Kitty 18, and Duchess ofYoek
16 tuns ; they will have, sailors and marines, about
100 men on board each vesseL The Government
acknowledges the ',measure of seizing British vessels
to be violent ; but consider themselves warranted in
doing so on the principle of self-detence. A part ct
the cargoes are still on board the vessels fitted out as
ships of war. Some of the Captains have protested
k against the proceedings of the Junta, with respect to
o • etheir vessels.
" The ships are now all fitted out; and ready to
'proceed from Ensinada. The Bell and Lord Wel.
lington are outside, and have taken their troops on
board. The'ketch will be ready to-reorrow. The
Government have received intelligence that a laree
brig of 90 guns, now lies before Maldonado, with a
great quantity of specie on board, supposed to b'
waiting for General Elio, in case he should be defea.
ted here, to convey him to Old Spain. The first at-
tempt of the ships (tinder Spanish colours and com-
mission) is to be the capture of this brig. The Go-
vernment has offered 5,000 dollars for every man of
war.sent in, besides the regular pay allowed.. Gene.
ral Elio, some time ego, offered 3000 dollars for TAY-
tor ; lie has since increased it to 10,000, to any person
who would bring him to Monte Video. Notwith.
standing this, Taylor undertakes • this expedition
against him. The future attempts of the naval ar-
mament of Buenos Ayres, will be, it is thought, tv
take and burn the Iphigenia frigate, of 36 guns,vibiels
is on the outside of Monte Video harbour.' and has
about 20 men on board ;,and afterwards .the small
craft, which.is up the river now before Colonial
" There are many here who do not approve thee
seizure of British Tipping.
" We learn that*General Elio has reesently threat.
erred to take the Nancy gun-brig ; and had actually
ordered sixty men to board her. The Lieutenents
who was with General Elio, sent an order to defend
her to the last extremity ; in consequence of which,
the Givernor's threat was not attempted to be C.ll.
lied into execution. We are hcre on -very excellent
terms with the Government and the inhabitapts; and
the intimacy is daily increasing. Biit, should urea
"'Coghill Government connive at the movements of
the rortnguese. who 'are said to be on their march
towards Monte Video to the amount of 5 or 6,000
men, it will cause ruin to many of its countrymen.
" The object of the Portuguese Government is
said to be the union of the North side of the.riv:rtie.
chiding 'lnagua, with the Brazils: It is likewise :Ip.
pneheasive; lest the spirit of independence wltich has
shewn itself so generally here, should extend. Ttra
Members of this Government are not strangers to the
influence of Lord Strangford, and the favour of the
English at the Court cf Brazils ; consequently any
hostile measures, directed from that qu irter, woulUe
considered here as having received the concurrencrof
his Lordship, and, of curse, the sanction of the lin-
:tish Government; and the first step of this Govern.
scent, in such case, would be, to seize the whole of the
'English property at this place, together with the Bri.
tisk subk.cts, by way of reprisal.
" Otfthe 17th inst. arrived hero a boat from the
Nereus frigate, bringilig the unpleasant intelligence.
that she had struck on the Ortiz-bank ; and wanted
