Extract Of a letter dated Buenos .Qyres, May 10
"About fortnight since, 80 or 40
individuals, natives of the Banda ORR
entail, headed by person named La
WALLACE, left Buenos Ayres with money
and arms, for the purpose of raising a
rebellion against the Portuguese. The
affray was at first viewed as sort of
predatory expedition. 1t has, however,
assumed serious aspect. The peo-
pie of the country have taken decid-
ed part. A force sent by General Le-
cor, the Governor of Montevideo, un-
der the command of Rivero, native
of Montevideo, have, with their COM
mander, deserted to the patriots, and
our last advices leave Lavillago at the
head Of 1000 men, distant only four
leagues from Montevideo, and until
expected reinforcements arrive from
Rio Janeiro, Lacor has but little pros
pect of driving them back, as there is
no confidence to be placed in the
troops at Montevideo. A subscrip-
ton is going on for the patriots a

are entertained of their ultimate sue.

it moved an acre of good grass in thir

to recommend itself to the enlightened

COMMERCIAL.
PRICES OF PRODUCE

There is so little -four coming to market at
the present moment, that an accurate quota
ton is difficult to make. We could hear of
the sales of only three loads yesterday-these
brought 81 90. Corn is in brisk demand at
43 cents. Several thousand bushels would
command that price readily, and perhaps a
cent more if sound and clean.

A proof that the censorship of the
press is continued in France, with a
bout as much severity as ever, exists
in the fact, that in the French publica-
ton of the various exhibitions of gra-
tinde which have accompanied Gen.
Lafayette through our country (from
which correspondent ofour's furnish
ed us translations few days since the
replies Of the General are partially 81
ven, care being taken to expunge eve
ry allusion to the improvement Of the
moral or political condition of Europe.
1t is amusing TO hear this publication,
and the French papers generally,speak
OF the salutary influence this visit is
likely to exert over the minds of Anne
ricans; but not a word is ventured as to
its effects upon the people of France.
They speak in raPtures of its tendency
to improve our habits of thinking, and
to give greater stability to our free in
situations; but they seem to imagine
that the example, either moral or po-
htical, has no sort Of application to
themselves. We very much question
whether the noble sentiment given by
Gen. Lafayette on the 18th, will ever
ind its way into the French journals or
pamphlets, unless some one, more re-
solute than the rest, shall dare to utter
the language oftruth without the clip
pings and suppressions of the censor
ship "Bunker-Hill, and the holy re-
"sistance to oppression which has al
"ready enfranchised the American hem
"isphere-the next half century's jubi-
"lee toast shall be-to the rhoke of en-
" Jfranehised Europe." The same pure
and elevated patriotism, and the same
love OF freedom, which have distin-
guished the life and conduct of Lafay-
EFT, run through all his written pro-
G ctions, and give character and inter
est to his replies and toasts. 1t is no
norable to his heart, as it is in conson-
ance with the principles which have
always governed him, that in the midst
OF smiling land, in all the freshness
and yigor Of its free institutions, and
partaking OF honors such as the world
has no record of, he remembers the
land OF his birth, and wishes for it,
and the surrounding nations, an en-
reimbursement the blessings Of which
he assisted in comforting upon us.

We were last evening favored with
the following extract of letter, dated
"Liverpoot, 9th May.-Since ours of

The extent of the speculations, the fall
of nearly per cent without any poll

for series of years, and we do not re-
member, during any time of the late
war, that the fluctuation was greater
or the public mind more excited. Not
only are English Funds, but every de-
scription of investment has fallen in
an alarming manner. Foreign Stocks,
Mining and other Shares, and indeed
all descriptions Of floating security
have suffered. The general gloom that
pervades the English market, is also
felt in the Foreign.-Consols ss4.-

nnhl;c The incorrectness OF the charge,
and 10 express their disapprobation OF
smcb conduct. That there was an at
tenn, made to insult Mr.. CLAY as he
WAS crossing the Monongahela river, by
some rude persons, we have reason to
believe: and that they were excited by
the Incorporate language and conduct
ofsome who claim ahigher rank in so
ciety, is not to be doubted. But this
meeting feel authorised to say, for the
body of the people Of this section OF the
country, as well as for themselves, that
such conducts held in the greatest de-
,estation, had it been directed to the
humblest individual in society, and
much more do they lament that an at
tempt was made to insult a man so
much their friend, and so worthy OF
respect from every American.
This meeting are well aware that
considerable excitement was produced
with some, by charges against his con-
duct in the late Presidential election:
and experience has at all times, and
under all circumstances, borne ample
testimony that, in state of excited and
violent feeling, to which the public may
be raised, the wise and prudent die
tates Of common sense lose their intiu-
ence over the minds Of men, and give
place to the unwise and rash counsels
of passion and revenge. With this
meeting, and great portion OF the
people, no such results were produced
They are free to declare that no evi,
dence has been produced, warrantins
even a suspicion of unfairness, in the
late Presidential election, and feel con-
scious that time will make all satisfied
with the result: Therefore,
ResoLned, That the Honorable HENRY CLAY
has, by many acts, merited our highest regard,
and that nothing in his public transactions has
come to our knowledge to lessen our esteem
for his character, and soicitude for his person
al welfare.
Resolred, That George Hogg, Washington
Hough, Robert Clarke, Joshua Wood, and
Israel Miller, be appointed committee toas
certain from Mr.. CLAY the time he expects to
arrive in this place, and invite him to partake
Of dinner
Resohsd, That the proceedings of this meet
