ausxos AIRES DOCUMENTS.

By the recent arrival from Buenas Ayres, which we
noticed ou Thursday, fresh documents were received
concerning the extraordinary Altair which had agitated
that Owe, and among them were the Secret Instruc-
tions, of which the following are extracts :
Extracts from the Secret Instructions given to Mr.
l'rigoyett, with a view to negotiate a treaty with
o.•nensl Lector, ronuuaudcr of the Portuguese expe-
dition at Aloutc-Video, and determined upon in the
Secret Sitting of the Congress of Buenos Ayres, ou
the 4th of Septeutber, It+ :

" MOST PRIVATE.
" For the interesting purpose of being fundamentally
informed of the political views of the Cabinet of the
Brazils, and by this nwans secure the happy issue of
his mission, the Envoy is to put himself in communica-
tion with D. Nicolas Ilerrera ; when this is done, he
shall manifest to him his powers to treat with the Com-
nsander in Chief of the Porrugoese Expedition,
General D. Frederick Lreoe, acting with all the frank.
Deaf the importance of the Affair requires, in which
goof faith, auimatiol by an interest for the peace and
hanpi HMI of the people:4 this country, is to be es hired.
" As siton as his communirations are established, the
Commissiimer shall endeavour to inform Herrera, us
well as Roatecal latent, of the trim state of this country,
effusing front their minds the exaggerated ideas they
possibly Huy entertain en the state of disorder in which
they suppose its to be, giving them to understand, that
slime the iossallation of the Congress, the nomination
of the Satin:me Director, the organization of the armies
with officers of honour, and other various reforms,
anarchy liai almost entirely ceas,,l. As the people in
general, their Chiefs, and more especially the Generals!
of the armies, are penetrated with the most profound
obedience and minnission to the Sovereignty, and that
if, in some parts, some tritling disorders remain, they
are as the last gl• Ting* tit a blaae that is just over-
come, and which, tar from threatening any danger, will

bitwt tnae•have on this side of the river. are unease, and
this EntiMIIPTS canses them to express a wish to aid

missioner is to gie? thein to understand, that if the

Ess'ern Hank to order, in no way will it be allowed to

" Ile will also entlain to them great popularity of

ing the Cltrittsfeisiocratic ideas hare been inani-
festiorthroughont the whole Hevo!tition, ths Congress;
as the sonnii and entightried part of the people, and in-

" He mill seek to conelace them of the interest elkd

Brazils, by her declaring herself the prote..!ur of thd
freedom and indepentleme of these provinces, re-esta-
%fishing the family of the ancient lions, and connecting
it with that of Braganzs, on the principle that, on the
one hand, both States being united, the Anthiran Con-
tinent will greedy increase in eonserpience, so as to
counter-balance the Old World, and cot the bondswitich
retard the steps of policy, and prevent its natural pro-
gress towards its high destinies; and on the other, the
obstinate Revolution of this country, determined to exist
in no wher character than as a nation, present difficult
and inseparable obstarles to its subjection, as well as the
great and almost desert distances's? which the rides are
seated from each other, preventing the conciliate of
armies from one to the other : the exclusive means of
carrying ou against any oueuty a pertisau warfare' a
kind of war, which, having ruined the armies of the
and restrained the marches of the t e occupy-
ing Pero. notwithstanding its particular knittriesige of
the country, will eventually destroy all foreign willies,
however great their forces may he: the antipathy which
for the present exists between the inhabitants of them

between countries hay. •g efferent governments and lan-

perienced.
" If, after the most powerful efforts, which the Com-
missioner is to niake in order to obtain 'a compliance
with the former proposition, the same shoald be rejected,
be shall propose the Coronation of one of the Infantas of
the Brazils in these Provinces, or that of any other fo-
reign Infanta, on condition that he be not from Spain,
wito, forming a connection with one of ibis Istfesstas 9f
the Brazils, may govern this country under a Constitu-
tion to be presented by the Congress. In case any one
of the proposals offered to it should be scowled by the
Portuguese Government. this latter is to undertake to
remove all the difficulties which may arise on tee part
of Spain."

Mr. SOLIAITOA-41Exsrs AL stated Id the Jary the eh.
eamstances under which the' ratae of action arose.
Davis, the detendant, ahont 1798, was • comsat ear-
peuter at Salishary, where he asatelesi his wtk, who
was the sister at a Dissenting Mil:titer theta. Hav-
ing within him she seeds of a Divine vocation, he was
anxious to become a Dissenting Missionary; bat the
apathy of his wik's friends, in seserilieg his views,
etoaled in him a disgust towards bet. Mid in leis

rears. In the mean-titre the defendant's enthusiasm
had overcome all obstacles ; every bar which the na-
ture of his education, or the tendency of his habits
threw in the way of his promotion, sunk before his de-
votedness and perseverance, and he had already elite-
Wished him as a preacher to a congregation of Inde-
pendents at Lymington. Hither his wife posted, the
suppliant wife to the tender husband, to the Mild Ml-
ouster of the Gospel. She was received, if not with
warmth, at least with decency. The defendant pros
leased himself reconciled, declared that his prosperity
was much enhanced by the opportunity it afforded him
of sharing it with his better half, and, upon the spot,
made arrangements fur going to London with a view
to settle sonic affairs. Mrs. Davis, with difficulty, ob-
tained a respite of a day or two, and then, unconscious
of any design, accompanied her husband to town.
She, however, had soon ample reason to repent her
misplaced confidence; blinded by her own feelings',
she had forgotten that her own presence was an intru-
sion upon her husband, ionil that his only object In
bringing her up to London was to confine her in a
mad-house. To lloxton they drove, and she was in-
troduced to the house of Mrs. Burroughs, totally
ignorant of its being a receptacle for the insane.—
Ilere eh Telltale:11 a month, and was at length re-
leased, through the interference of a Doctor Black-
benne ; but it was long before she obtained soy tidings
of her litisbami, who, it appeared, was at this time
preaching at Dublin, in Ireland. Mrs. Hite is,through
some means, applied to him fur relief; and, after a
great &al to du, a settlement of 12s. a-week was made
upon her, which she continued to reel iie fur some
time, hut which hail been latterly.entirely withheld.
Under these circumstances, the plaintiff was kind
enough to assist her, and there could be no doubt but
the linshand was responsible. The Jury would per-
ceive that there w..s nothing unreasonable in the
charges; tile price of lodL:ing being only four shillings
a week, and the other rhar,ces in I roportion. '1 he
whole sum for a year wi:s no more than 15/. Since
dteu the det•tolant had become a pr'eacher in a His-
" Wing meeting-house, SOUIVIV here in the metropolis.
Re hail a satare of 301/, a-year, and surely it would
not be too much for him to allow his wile mule-than
f2s. a-week ; yr, at least, to pay th .t regnlatly. Hr
hoped, ther&re, when he pnoved this case, that the
Jury would see it was a erne! one, all that they wimp
not hesitate to give bib client the dsonagds wh eh she
claimed.
Ihe Learned Cowriel then pros t 4 tall his
witnesses, who bore ou' the statem it i.e ft...l'll:ode.
It appeared on their cross-examitiati .1. h.:crer. fiat
J4r. Davis's salary was only 12W., instead of 3:101.,
and that he was but eighteen years old when h mar-
ried, his wife beiw, then nocards of 30.
Mr. Geiser addressed the Jury for the defendant,
sad contended, that the allolvance made by him to his
.wife was as large as his means would permit. Ile in-
sisted that the plaintiff had no teal', as he was aware
nsi-Mrs. Davis Lit-ilia. a separate maintenance.
1 he riyinent of the ii:Tkly allowance was proved,
and Mrs. Davis's h;other was put into the box toiwure
her insanity, at u justification of haring.pat her into
the tuad•liousea but he failed in proving her insane.
Mr. Justice BOAT told the Jury, the only qieestien
was, whether or not the alluwatice made by the de-
fendant to his wife, w.im iu proportion to his nieaus. If
it was.true that two shillings a week ass sufficient for
her when in health, and be low in the world, surely
sea his means improved, and as Ler health declined, she
was entitled to more. This I/lamming Minister had
.1201. a-year, and when it was ronsideted that many
respectable members of the Church of England sup-
ported large families on little more than 9tlf., it was
nut too much to make him give to his wife a decent
maintenance since he had nobody else.
The Jnry, after soave little hesitation, found fur the
thonages--:•lfteen pounds.

This was an action to recover the sum of 200/. 16s.
for c.sbles and o:her necessaries, found by the plain-
tiff, for the equipment of a ship of which the defend-
ant was the alleged part owner.
31r. SCAMLETT stated the plaintiff's rase, and it ape
peered that the defendant, who is a clergyman keeping
a school in Kentish-town, was part owner of a ship
with another person now abroad. The goods in ques-
tion leer,• proved to hare been ordered by the sk-
fendant and sold upon his credit, to prove which se-
verel witnesses were examined, and a letter in his own
hand-writing was given in evidence.

Mr. Atboiestus-appeared as Counsel for the de-
fendant, who had 11,4 pleaded in abatement that the
other owner ought to have been joined with him, and
called one witness to prove that the credit was not
given to the defendant himself. but to Lis son, who is
&Minor, for whom the share in the ship had been pur-
' chased ; but this person's evidence confirmed that of
' the plaintiti's witnesses.
Mr. Justice Bast asked the dakedaursi Counsel if
he could go au after this t.
Mr. Anotenua said, he feared he conl3 not, upon
The defendant took the brief out of the Learned
Counsel's hands, and begged to be permitted to con-
duct his own case. In tide he was indulged, bet he
conducted himself in such a manlier towards she
as repeatedly to induce his Lordship to threaten
commit him irhe did net conduct himself in a more
rem manner. The defendant called his son to prove
that theLeredit was given to him, and nut to his father.
' The cue went to the Jery under the directions of
Learned Judge, who gave it as his opinion, that the
defendant had set up a very dishonest defence.
Verdict for the plaintiff— Damages 300/. 16s.

Mr. WILDE, as Counsel on behalfof the defendants,

fendants.

Mr. SHIPIIIIRD said, that unless the Board consider.
ed the defendant, Mr. Cushion, liable in this rase,
there would never be any getting at the smuggler in
Excise eases ; ter. every one conversant in such nat-
ters was aware that responsible men like Mr. Cushion.
were in the habit of getting faggots like Davis to tali,:
