BUENOS AYRES, Jut' ft.

The American ship Corsair arrived here on the ISth
inst. from Bahia, with a cargo of rum, sugar, coffee, &c.
which she sold at immense prices: an effectual blockade
of Buenos Ayres is rather a difficult undertaking; some-
how or other, vessels of all nations manage to get in
here except English. The following British vessels were
in the port of Monte Video on the 2d June :
Brigs--Hetton, discharging and stowing; Treasurer, empty ; St•
John, on sale ; William Pitt, going to the Isle of France, in ballast ;
Marquis of Wellington, discharging ; Courier, loading fir Antwerp;
Peru, discharging ; Perfection, do. Adventure, do. Monarch is de-
tained by the Brazilians as a prise; Jesse was detained, but since
liberated ; Mark, taking in hides for Antwerp ; Ls Plata, discharg-
ing, and Will take cargo for Liverpool ; William and Henry, de-
tained as a prince ; Anne ditto. ship Countess of Morley it is thought
*ill go to Rio Janeiro.
Of the above vessels the Monarch and Anne are from Liverpool ;
the William Henry, from London. The Brazilians threaten to
make prizes of them on the plea that they cleared out for Bu4nes
Ayres after the blockade had been officially known in Eng4d.—
His Majesty's ship Doris is at present cruising between Cape. &.
Mary and Antonio for the purpose of intercepting all Britisbves-
'els similarly situated. A boat 48 feet long, pulling 29 oars, was
launched here a few days ago, intended as a privateer to cruise
in this river. A Swedish brig, formerly the Gustavus, is fitting out
at Ensenada as a privateer; those, and the brig Lavallage, about to
sail from Patagonia on a cruise, are the only privateers direct from
the port under the Buenos Ayrean flag. There may be others shortly
from North America. There are only seven vessels in port, which
is a sad falling off, considering that in time of peace the average is
from 60; however, considering the Brazilians have 62 pennants in
this river, it is astonishing we get one vessel to visit us. The block-
ade is net much felt here. A few articles are raised in price, but
as they are only luxuries the people do not complain : it is the
foreign Merchants who suffer in the ob►u action ut their pursuits.

The Dove packet arrived yesterday from VAltnonth, Rio ee
Janeiro and Maine Video. Lord Ponsonby, in the Thetis frigate,
was expected to sail from Rio Janeiro for this on the iSth ofJuie.
His Majesty's ship Ranger has arrived at Monte Video. The
Doris frigate has sailed from the latter port to Rio.

We have received Dutch and Harnbargh Papers to
the 57th instant. Their contents are unimportant. The fever still
prevailed at Groningen, and the deaths were numerous. • The skit
had been counted, and amounted to 4,570. Au article from Stock.
holm states, that the Russian fleet of five ships of the line and eight
frigates going out of the Baltie,was bound to the Greek Archipelago,
The French Morning Papers of Saturday, and tee
Stale dated Sunday, have been received. We have copied from
the latter a circular of the Austrian Government to all its com-
mercial agents and subjects on stations, reminding them of the laws
made against slave-trading, and dencionEing penalties against those
who should assist foreigners In obtaining, securing, or trans fort.
ing slaves.

The accounts received from various parts of England
and Scotland are of the most cheering deacription; and
we think we can now confidently look forward to better
times. The Paisley Advertiser of the 26th has the fol.
lowing Letter, derived from a most respectable source,
which, with its introductory comment, we adopt :
