the frgate Congress at Bucnos Ayres.
where she arrived the 2sth February
One of them has been kindly put into
our hands, from this we make the follow
ing extracts:
BUENos AYREs, March A." The
Portuguese are still in possession of
Monievideo. They have three, four or
five thousand men. Artegas, who is i'm
possession of the surrounding country,
keeps them cooped up within their lines.
Extending about miles from the CITY !
Without these they dare not venture, un-
less III considerable bodies. The Portu-
guese and Buenos Ayrean Government
are on good terms: Artegas is at war with
both. The BueDos Ayreans sent several
hundred men against him. Those, il is
said, he defeated. He carries on a sort
of Pariizan warfare; his soldiers are little
better than savages, generally mounted
men, admirable riders, Injured TO hard
ship and danger. Ii is impossible for an
army TO operate successfully against
them.--They make an attack or an incur
sion, and are off in moment.
We could not get our frigate higher
up the river than MonfevdeO: We made
Our passage from there TO the place in a

"The COMMISSIONS have not yet been

six weeks hope 20 be at home the lat

RoSr0N, April 2S.-The new 81 elegant

,aandcr, arrived here last evening, in 20
days from liverpool. By TINS vessel we
have received London papers 10 the 9th

tracts follow:
LONDON, March 22.--The Bourbons
! have followed the example of other coun-
irieS IN recognizing the accession of the
present King ef Sweden. lie is now ac-
kno~ledged by every civilized power. This
Is AN @ra, and Il very Important one, in
the history OF the monarch,es Of Europe.
II stands forth as a precedent and an en-
ample, that the absurd notions, hitherto
imputed TO kings and cabinets, of the in
deicasihillty OF regular rights, have hap
PLY passed away, and iha, the good of
the people is acknowledged 10 be of e.
quail importance with thc:right of descent.
AS Tins principle is a real gain te popular
liberty, and on HE other hand does not en-
courage any source ofanarchy, we must
again express our satisfaction with his re-
cognIfion. Belts Messenger.
Narch 26.-We understand that one of
the expedients fallen upon by the Spanish
government to enable il TO fit out the Rus
sian squadron, is to allow the merchants
permission Ia ship on board, two thou
sand tons of Merchandise, al low duties,
Tie receipts of which it was expected,
would afford considerable aid. The eX-
act destination is not told to the mer-
chants, but they are given TO understand
that The force will be so overwhelming,
that 10 whatever point of the uliramarine
dominions il is bound, resistance on the
part OF the Patriots must be vain. The
scheme however, does moi meet with
great support. The fate of Morillo's ex-
pedliion, much larger than Spain can now
send cut, is moi forgotten.-The Spanish
clergy murmur good deal. They think
that the benediciion OF Heaven on the
1ispano- Rnssian enterprise cannot be
secured unless the heretical character is
taken from the ships by solemn baptism,
which ceremony it is thought will take
place previous 10 their putting to sea.
