On the 10th March, a boat arrived
at Monteyideo from Buenos Ayres,
with an account of another change in
the government, brought about by the
party opposed to the late g disgracefuI"
treaty. They displaced Sarretea, and
put General BaIcared at the head of
the government. A few days after this,

REMARKS ON THE NEW ORLEANS MARKET,
From the Louisiana Aduert,ser, .aprii25.
Cotton, l2 a 6 cents. Prime is in good
demand at the latter quotation; and some We
ny superior parcels have been sold at l9 a
90. From the extreme scarcity of fine quail
ty, il will no doubt maintain itspresent price
throughout the season.
Tobacco, within the last few days has been
in better request; the quantity yet forward
ed, does not exceed 8 10 lo,oOo hogsheads,
which is much less than in the same period
last year. and as the accounts from the prin-
cipal markets in Europe are natterng "a good
demand is anticipated, and holders look for
an improvement in price.
Pork Tkestock in market is small. The
demand for this article has hitherto been
small. Lard goes off steadily, but at prices
much below its value, when the very limit.
ed stock in market is taken into considera-
ton.

cession of the guiltless harvests he has
reapcd. He is haunted With no appre-
tensions, like tie Inhabitants of great
cities, Of conjugal infdelity, or of a too
numerous posterity. His lahors are al.

binds Up the swelling sheases, while
his children dance around, crowned
with garlands of blue bottles and wild
peoples. Their harmless play recall to
his memory the amusements of his own
early days, and Of his virtuous anccs.
tors, whom he hopes at length to rejoin
in better world.
"The sight of his copious harvest
demonstrates to him that there is a
God; and every return of that joyous
season, bringing TO his rccoIIectioa the
delicious cares of his past existence, in
spires him with gratitude to the Great
Being who has united the Il ansient So
ciety of man by an eternal chain of
blessings.
