We have seen a letter from the supercareo of
an American vessel at Buenos Ayres to Me-
chant in this town. He states that the mark
cts there were very much glutted. particularly
with English merchandise, and the duties very
high. Many articles would not sell for enough
to pay the duties, nor are you allowed any draw
back ifyou wish to re-export them.
The following is an extract from the let

FROM THE LOUISIANA rBLEoRapH
Things have greatly changed in one short
year il will be recolected how the enemies of
tie federal administration, and OF governor
Claiborne, exulted and even triumphed over their
friends not twelve months since. It will be re-
collected that it was arcproach on mans cha
racter TO advocate the conduct of Hilkinson as it
related TO Burr, or the general responsibility of
claborne's administration. They were denoun-
ced as the sycophants of Claiborne or the mini
ons of Wilkinson, by one party, and by a small
and contemplate faction, most of whom were
cloathed with robes of Office (who attempted,
like Burr in New York, to unite all honest
men) as set Of scoundrels and villains, equal
ly criminal with what has been called the Clark
party
The first great ground Of rejoicing was, the
triumph they gained in the bank when the d;. |
rectlon was changed, and Mr. BENZ Morgan dis. !
placed from the presidency. The second was |
the absence Of the governor, whom they conf |
IDENTIFY believed they had scared out of the coun. |
try, and that he would not return. ThirdIv.
they hoped 10 inAzsnce the conduct ofthe then
acting governor. Alas their disappointments
have been great The bank influence has failed
them; for after the Sd of March they have no
charter and no discounts. Gov. Claiborne has
returned with ten times the support ne ever had
in this territory, and with the perfect confidence
of the general government.

&" Certain people here have been very
silent, almost gloomy, since last advices
from England, and some pains are taken
to suppress the exact state of things with
that country. Mr.. Pinkuey may be hourly

IT he bad adopted three years ago. would
have saved much of our shame AT home and
abroad. However, the situation he was
placed in, connected with the instability OF
Congress on great public measures, and the
spirit OF intrigue which has governed the
Councils OF our own country. will, in great
measure, palliate the Course he has pursu.
