by the Brazilian bri, OF Cabocle, arrived last
evening from Mon,evideo is going to declare war
Immediately against Buenos Ayres; and that captain

| of them, Slave ship, had her cargo 250 slaves la

| Several transports, with two thousand troops,
sailed for Monte, ,.eo, II days SINCE under convoy
of f!isate and sloops OF wax. The decisive
victory gained by the Patriots over the Brazilian

all confidence which tie latter repoSed in their
military discipline, better equipments, SIC. The loss
ON the Brazilian side 800 killed, ITO pi-
Yates, and j2 officer prisoners a large number of

Extracts from letter Of recent date from
HGuGHG.--' You lave no doubt long since heard
of the total failure of the expedition that sailed
from this port three months since for the relief of
the Castle OF San Juan de Ulloa, 'he fall OF SAID
Castle, and the arrival here of three friga,es, with
sew er.,l Transports bringing 1900 men. For seve-
raj days after the arrival of the Mexican brig, with
the Governor and suite, the Spaniards hung their
heads and were mute, while the o her hand The
Creoles exhibited ;he greatest Joy III their eounic-
nances, but they did not, of course, dare 10 utter
syllable Of approba ion. When, however, tn.
fleet arrived from Spain, the spirits Of the Span
iards were again revived.
=" The Governor has received more extensive
lpowers than granted TO any Viceroy o
Mexico. He is enpo~ cred TO send any Spaniarc
home, mere suspicion, let his rank station bt
what 1t may and his authority foreigners i:
not less unlimited, as he sead them out OF the
country ud H6ituai.
"ll i, difficult, for the above mentioned reasons
to ascertain the political opinions of the inllabi
tanis the general conviction Is, however that i
the AieNicans or Coionbians effect the landing oil
a sufficient force to keep the black population in
checS, they will meet with ii;le or no resistance
from the whites. 1t seems also to be Tie genera
impression that Spain canno much longer hol;
possession Of this island, unless she speedily recos
niZcs the independence OF the Southern State,
- Oar commercial concerns quite paral we,
- few arrivals, crops coming in slowly, and higl
prices asked. The failures in England and liz
United States affect farther than that they
nave tendency TO injlre the sale of drafts, az,
prevent as many vessels usual from coming here
6 The Government has just effected loan o
$500 900, at - per Cert interest, (payahe il
one and two years, and the ineres; monthly I,
dtffay tie expenses OF the expedition lately arriv e.
and another That Is expected How they vii
ever repay the loan, God knows = The rreas;ir,
Is 30 low that II IS continually in arrears 10 Ill.
troops and public oGIicers.''
