Rio de Janeiro, May 9Th, 1919.
Al tins place all Is ponp and shew.-
Another princess has come into the
world the christening of which took
place on the Sd inst. and has cost the ma
ton some thousands Of dollars, which |
think would have been better applied 10
the paying of The sailors and soldiers,
many Of lrkom hare not received one dollar
for eight years! This is perhaps one of
The most iyrannical, despotic, & corrupt
governments under heaven how long il
will last, is difficult TO tell but | would
not insure IT many years. We never have
any news here, unless what we get from
English or American papers, which have
not seen oflate date"
RiO de Janeiro, May D.
| am sorry cannot forward YOU the
latest paper | have seen from Bmenos
Ayres, which announces Belgrano being
al the head of affairs there, aId that he
has ALREADY made an armistIce with Arti-
gas, preparatory of peace and union,
which have no doubt has ere this taken
place, from which We may calculate upon
very important changes; and have some
hopes that they will now go on well-lor
This, every friend TO those people NAV
thank the King of Spain, for his threaten
ed expedition 10 the River la PLATA these
people have not as yet had an enemy to
contend with which is the reason, thew
have been al war among themselves and
1 sincerely hope the expedition talked of
so much will actually proceed to the Ri.
yer nothing can do these people greater
service"
New YORK, July 22.-It is reported
that Vice President ToMPKINs has made
satisfactory settlement of lis accounts
with tn Comptroller of this state, and
received large balance.
We have cOnversed with a person who
lett CadIz OH the 9TH of June, who states
II Is tbe opinion of fhe most inIellIgeBt
persons in that place, and also of III A.
merican Consul, THAT the late treaty with
Spain would not be signed, by reason ofthe
influence OF England. Al any rate the rat
iflcatiOn would be withheld until The pleas
IRE of The British government could be
known. Great dissatisfaction prevailed
among both officers and men belonging
to the expedition fitting out for South A
merIca. They are without pay, and
nurmur al their government for lis sub
servience to Great Britain.-They do
not generally expect TO return TO Spain,
and it is appreheDded they will easily sur
render themselves 10 the patriots. Col
Doubt seems to be entertained whether
our Treaty with Spain will be ratified
II rs reasonable 10 conclude that Don
Onis has not acted without fun powers
from lis Court, yet such is the unsettled
state Of that kingdom and ilip well known
influence of the British government ex-
ercIsed through their Minister al Madrid,
lST Henry Welesley,) that we should not
be surpriZed the ratification was AT least
delayed under frivolous pretences. We
hope IL may not be SO, as il would call
for measures ola decided character ON
our part yet we venture to say, that If
Tie expedition now hitting out against |
The Patriots should succeed in its opera
lions, the treaty IN that case will not he |
ratified. Spain is in very singular and |
dele ale altitude ; IN the best periods Other |
history, good faith did not constitute |
prominent feature in her policy; she will |
seek excuses for want offdilh al present
IN the powerful contest now waging for |
existence. We have deep interest TO look |
after in that quarter. ". Y. Nat. Adp.
