Austrian service, lately married to an English Princess,

P • .e of the Germanic Confederation.

soerff AMERICA.

Letters from Been°. Ayres to the end of October
reached as yestertlaf, but they do not contain an► thing
material in the shape of mews. The dread of the I.ladis
expedition still operated against the pursuits of trade,
and produced a temporary stagnation in the sale of
goods, which, more particularly woollens, were plenti-
ful in the market.

Bvexos .Iviors. Orr. 28.—For some time we had
fondly hoped that the Portuguese intended to evaestate
Monte Video, in consequence of the stir within the for-
tress, the removal of stores, the embarkation of arms
and other symptoms observed as taking place there. It
is, however. very difficult to jutige of the real intentions
and views of the Brazil Cabinet, so close, designing.
and impenetrable is its policy. We have yet never been
able to find out in what way the late double marriage
would operate between Portugal and Spain, or whether
the premature death of the daeghter of Braganta, with
mmo ittanv unpleasant features as report says accompanies
it, would have any ulterior effect on the relations exist-
ing between them. Here we have lately had a Colonel
of the Brazilian army, in the character of Envoy. Hr
is the first of that rank who has been among us, and no
doubt his object in coining was important. Ile staid
aniongi us three weeks. and in that time had several
close conferences with the Snpreme Director. It is con-
fidently asserted, and on good authority, that he was
charged to negociate the invasion of that district of
country called Entre Rios, by the Portuguese, with the
assistance or sanction of this Uovernment. This, no
Joolit, is intended as a death-blow to Artigs's power.
who heroines troublesome and extremely annoying to
both parties, as there is nothing fixed or stable shunt
his movements and designs. No doubt this operation
will be carried into effect, but whether or nut this 00-
vernment will meddle in it, remains to he ascertained.
We are now, Lou. •.'r, led to conclude, that the stir and
embarkation of stores in Monte Video is connected with
this object, the whole being mere preparations to send
the materiel of the army up the river. If this is the
case, we mast cotectare they do not intend to quit
!Witte ruleo. The Iloattnterar, or Artigas's party, have
again broke loose on the side neSanta Fe, anddietwrised
the road between this and Chili. This is injurious to
trade. Such treaties as the oast made with such a man
as Artie as could not be lasting. Our last accounts front
Chili mention, that General San Martin is coming down
from Mendoza with his army, to act either against Ar-
tigas or the Spaniards, if they should come.

New TORN, JAN. 4.—We have indulged in few Omer
wanes on this subject, because we were sensible tbal
1111111WITP possessed of too imperfect information to render
Ommt any better than crude and idle speculations. We
hove non.. at length, become posers/460 of a li;story of
tams of the molt interesting nature, which affords a key
Oa whatever has appeared mysterious heretofore ; which,
however, we are not yet permitted to disclose at full
length, hut which enables us to pronounce with strong
menfolence, that our disputes with Spain will terminate
speedily, amicably, and to the entire satisfaction of ttiie
entry; and which, at the saint• time, exempts the
Ming of Spain from all censure. In due time the whet'
slay he laid before the public, and will ronyisce thc
meople that the course which the Ex. cutive has pursued,
has been eminently such a one as prudence, wisdom and
Justice dictated.
