BUENOs AYREs.

Our files of Buenos Ayres papers by the
Hope, are to the 18th March inclusive.
These papers confirm the verbal accounts
already published, that The Indians in the
neighborhood of Buenos Ayres had become
very troublesome. Various preparations
were in consequece made by the govern
ment to arrest the progress of the outrages.
In their first attack upon the Governor Of
Santa Fee, the Indians were completely
triumphant--but a paragraph in the Argus
of the 18th March states there is not the
least doubt that the mcasures adopted by
the authorizes would effectualy check
them. Some detail is given of the march
ing of the hussars, and of the local disposi-
ton of the government troops.
According to paragraph in the Argus
Of the same date, it would appear that the
fear of invasion by the Holy Alliance of
Europe had the effect Of exciting in the
minds of the people of Paraguay, Santa
Fee, Entire Rios. Corentes and Buenos
Ayres. the desire of again uniting them
selves as one family, for the purpose of re-
sisting any attempts to subjusate them.
They were proceeding to elect representa-
tive according to popuIation-the centre Of
union to be at Buenos Ayres. The same
course was about to be followed by the
Provinces of San Luis, Mendoza and San
Juan, who had fixed upon Tucuman as their
center.
One of the papers contains the result o!
an expedition which had been dispatched
by the government of Buenos Ayres IN
December last to the coast Of Patagonia
for the purpose of exploring the White
Bay (known also by the name of the Bay ol
Cables.) The mouth of this Bay lies be-
tween 50 and 40 degree of south latitude
and in abunt &c degree So minutes Of lon
gitude west from Greenwich--w which is a.
bout 8 degrees west of Bacnos Ayres
The bay embraces an extend OF about 90
geographical leagues, near the southern ex.
tretnity Of which is the river Colorado. II

commission acquired much Information

RIDING ON HORSEBACK.

If you rise very early in the morning,
that is, just as the sun tips the spires with
its golden light, to speak poeticaIly, you
may perchance see some Of our fashionable
young ladies', attended by relations, friend,
and lovers, taking an airing on horseback I;
and then, at seven o'clock, if you are near
the spot, you may see them alight in the
rear of their house: or, if the moon shines
bright, and you are up as late as ten O'Clock
at night, you may likewise see solitary
lady or two. with a servant behind her,
pacing up Broadway. Now, we have new
er been able to discover why our Young
ladies avail themselves of a lonesome hour
TO ride, and why, in partaking of this ele-
giant exercise, they shun the gay and jo-
cund throng.
1t is common thing, within few miles
of the city, and in the country generally,
to see young lady spring upon her horse,
and canter half a dozen miles to break
fast; or, in the cool Of the afternoon, visit
a neighbours league off, take tea, and pass

CALCUTTA, Jan. 8.
The accounts from Madras are of most
distressing nature, and have come upon US
with suddenness which renders the hor-

expect scarcity of Grain on the Coast,

extent to which the failure ofihe crops had

"I regret to have occasion to commune
cate toyou disagreeablc occurrence which

who arrived in this settlement last season
under the auspices of Government, and
superintendence of the Honorable Peter
Robinson, are carrying their outrages to
such extremes as almost 10 battle the efforts
Of the civil authorities to keep them in
check. On the esd of April, His Majesty's

giments assembled for training at Murph's

such scenes of outrage took place as would
require an ADLER pen than mine to describe:
while party, principally Scots. were
drinking his Majesty's health in the house
of Mr.. Alex. Morris, they were attacked
by the Ballygibinets, as the Irish emigrants
term themselves, the windows stove in,
and the floor and wall literally washed
with blood. A gun was fcrciby taken
from one Of the party in Morris's house,
and the person who carried it ofwas woun-
ded by a shot fired at him when making
his retreat with the prze.-Since the esd,
fresh outrages have been committed; a

dread had left it, was on Monday last for

what the extent of damage and pillage may
