In Trade we have little or no Improvement
refer you to the Price Current for Prices. The
successes in Peru, have been followed up by the
defeat and death of Olane,a killed in action. This
was the last Spanish General in arms against the
Patriots in South America. The fortress of Caao
still holds out--bu doubtless will soon surrender.
Tie public mind in Buenos Ayres is at present
much occupied by events in the Banda Oriental,
(the Monte Video side of the River)
Abouta fortnight since, 20 10 40 individuals
natives of the Banda Oriental, headed by Person
named Lavallaga, left Buenos Ayres with money i,
arms, Sc. for the purpose of raisinga rebellion
against the Portuguese, the affIr at first view
ed, as sort OF predatory expedition. II has, how
ever. assumed serious aspect; the people and the
country have taken decided part; force sent by
General I.ecor, the Governor of Monte video, un-
der command of Frutos Rivero, Native of Monte
ideo have, with their commanders DIES erted TO TIE
Patriots aud our last advices leave Lavaaga at the
head OF 1000, men, distant only miles from Mon
tie Fideo and until expected achievements arrive
from Rio Janeiro, Lecor has but lite' prospec; of
driving them back, not being able trust the troops
at present stationed in Monte Vidco a subscrip-

| cisco Aguilar, Macdonald noted Pqtrio', is
likewise stated to have been despatched. The
Buenos Ayrean Government of course keep aloof,
public opinion very strong is favor of the Patriots

though the castles of Calao by the capi,ulation OF
General Canterac should have been surrendered 10
the Independents, Genera! Rodl, to the as,onisli-
ment of every one, still holds out in that Fortress
and obliges us TO land our cargoes at Cborlos, the
expense and inconv enience of which is most seri-
ously felt in the present depressed state ofour mar

and sea, and without hope of relief, it cannot be a
long time before shall have possession of it
Our commerce in manufactured goods has been gra-
dually improving since the interior has been open
Cd TO us, but the consequences of the war have been
so severely felt in the mining districts that it must
still be some time before il resumes it, former act-
WY Inc mines oil Fasco and the national mint,
however, are soon TO be put in operation, and to
which look for reliefhom the present scarcity oil

fixed, and better calculated 10 insure public conf

our flour market is eluued to degree never be-
fore known here; 4O, 600 barrels; and as the con-
sumption does not exceed 1000 bbls. monthly, and
the Chill harvest uncommonly abundant, it is MOI
improbable that large proportion OF it may be
entirely sacrificed. Il has been sold as low as 4
dollars Oh board but fresh flour may be quoted at
dollars.
