LATEST FROM BUENos AYREs.
Extract OF "a letter from Messrs. Lynch, Tim
norman T. Co. of Buenos Ayres, to their
correspondent in New York, received per
the Buenos Ayrean government brig lnde-
pendencia, arrived at Baltimore, i'll the re-
markably short passage Of 43 days.
"Bu,nos .4yrss, Sept. 10, 1919.
The contradictory runors which still a.
gita,e the public mind render every thing re-
lating to business 50 unsettled, that any re-
port On the state of the market would be vain.
While some arrivals from the south of Eu.
rope, and private letters from Spain and
Gibraltar, represent all the energy of that
kingdom bent on powerful invasion of
these provinces others, again, represent
Spainas on the brink of intestine commissions
and ruin. There is even private cores
poDdence which speaks with confidence of
the success OF the liberal party over the mi
Mons of Ferdinand, and that their first step
would he to make overtures of Cancellation
TO the American provinces.
/" In this conflicting crisis our government
has adopted such measures as indicate dis
position to be prepared for the svorst. All
tie male population, in town and country,
from Is to 60 years OF age ale enrolled,
slaves included, and not even exemptng TO-
reisners, who were al least given to under
stand that, unless they joined in The defence
of the country, they must quit it, in certain
period. A commission is also appointed to
digest and carry into execution plan OF
transporting all the women, children and a
ged, to the interior cities,
The old SpAnisrds were sent under sur
veillance, and heavy contributions have
been exacted from them. Many ofthem
have escaped from the country, and others
are ruined by executions IL will not appear
strange if, during the execution OF this sys-
tenn, the whole community should suffer, and
become confused aud intimidated. But, at
the very moment when this system is in Ope-
ration, we see indications of determination
in our government to possess, with uncom-
mon energy in the warfare against the Royal
isis of Peru. This latter circumstance con-
vnces many people that our government ap-
prebends no danger from the side OF Old
Spain.
All prospects of an immediate compro-
mise with Artigas, are now at an end "
With regard to the robbery OF the Mace
DOMAIN, of the port OF Boston, by Lord Coch-
rane, The Boston Yankee has the following
remarks -
1t was reserved to Lord Cochrane to COM
ml the first great anu daring outrage OF our
flag. Every where we 60 unmoested, ex-
cept when we come in contact with him.
Do our vessels OF war fall in his way Sa-
lues, and bows, and scrapings are imperi.
ously demanded by the noble Lord.
Does our money come within his grasp
He seize it with all the avdity of shame
less piunderer.
The brig Macedonian, of Boston, quilted
Callao as required by tie paper blockade oil
Lord Cochrane. She had entered the port,
and sold her cargo, previous to that block
AIDE, and had committed no violation of it.
But, lorsoolh, my Lord wanted money, and
1000 Spanish milIed dollars, the pro-
ceeds of the cargo OF the Macedonian, were
going from Calao to Guermez, Guermez be-
ing the port designated by Cochrane as the
proper port for the Macedonian 10 land at.
My Lord wanted the money, and sans &C.
remon,e he takes il. 1t may not be quite so
easy for the noble Lord to get out OF the
surape, when our vessels OF war show them
selves in force, in The south seas.
