BUENOS AlRES.
We have received some Gazettes of Buenos
Ayres from the 18th to Goth, April, from which
we find that serious contention had arisen
between the public authorities there and some
| British officers a letter OF which the following
is an extract, from an intelligent American at
that place, refers TO the case, and we shall give
further particulars as soon as the papers can
be translated.
Extract" send you by the Gen Jackson
the three last Gazettes--the first contains the,
law pr0mulged by the junid here, requiring
all foreigners TO take up arms in defence OF
the city-the second contains The remon-
STRANGE of the British merchants, address
ed to captain O'Brien, senior officer of
the British navy here and the resolutions en-
tered INTO by the imta, in consequence there
OF, which you will perceive are in u most
angry tone, and have excited corresponding
feelings among the people here. Thank God,
we North Americans are not involved in this
affair.
The third gazette contains correspond
ence between our agent, j. NJ. Forbes, esq.
and this government, ON the subject of the i'm
| pressment of our scamen for the public SER
vice here. You will perceive, that what be-
tween the friendly dispositions of these people
for us and the liberal and judicious course
pursued by Mr.. Forbes and the style of his
communication, that lie has succeeded in pla-
eng our seamcn on footing of the most perfect
security The difference of their result, com
pared with that OF the British officer, is, in a
great measure, to be attributed to the good
sense of our agent. The British merchants

1t Is quite uncertain what they will determine
upon, but they t2tl, of quitting the country
sooner than submit 10 The law. ] cannot but
call to mind on this accasion, with what little
ceremony the British Impressed our seamen,
and compelled them TO fight against their own
country, and the treatment which those expe-
rienced at Dartmoor prison, who would not
enter on board their Ships, 10 fight against the
United States. Bat they will not give, as
they would not take. The people here, can
assure You are not very fond of the British
though there ar many verify men among
them who reside here T.9;uoru.
