A letter from an American gentleman at
Buenos Ayres, in speaking Of the late victo-
tory gained by the Patriots OF the Banda O.

fought

back, armed with carbine and broad
sword. Before the battle, Lavalleja made
short address to his friends, as he called
them, and then gave the necessary orders,
the most important of which was, that they
were to use nothing but the sabre-their car
bines were fastened at their backs in such
manner as to afford some protection to the
back and neck The Brazillans advanced
in canter, while the Patriots commenced
at a trot When within sixty yards OF each
other, the Patriots broke into brisk gallop,
and as they closed, quickened their pace

canter till within twenty yards, when they
fred but before they could throw their car
bines over their shoulders and draw their
swords, the Patriots, at full speed, were up
on them, sword in hand. After conflict o
about twenty minutes, the Brazillians, unable
to sustain the shock, gave way at every

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
New YoRK, February I

New YoRK, February 3.
The commercial intelligence from England
is not OF an encouraging nature. Heavy
failures continue, and the gloom thickens.
The death Of the Emperor of Russia, will
produce very sensi5lc change in the con-
tinental policy.
He who may have been called the Chief
OF the Allied Sovercigns; who took an early
and decided stand against the colossal pow
er of Napoleon. The rise, progress and
termination Of those great campaigns and
military events which twice restored the
Bournons to France, took place under the
eye, and immediate direction of Alexander,
who carefully measured, and actually ascer-
tanned, the physical resources of each OF
the continental powers, and, with no ordina-
~ talent, arranged and determined the bal
lance Of power, as far as it could possibly be
determined, and has created desire for the
continuance of peace in Europe, instead Of
exciting jealouses and promoting disatfec-
ton and war.
Although this policy may continue, there
is. no doubt, a disposition in several cabin cts
to adopt certain measures, and decide upon
! principles which would not have beer
broached during the life time of Alexander
who, although not a great man, was, by
/ force of circumstances, practical man to I
certain degree, and certainly man of busi
ness.
Austria will gain step by this event; i
NAV have no inconsilerable weight upon tn,
operations of Greece and Turkey, and at al
events, it will create many political surmis
es and conjectures throughout the world
i Accounts had reached Berlin from tn
celebrated traveller III Africa, DR.. Ehren
berg, dated at Cabira. They announce tn
death of his companion, DR.. Hemprich
who died at Massana, the principal post @
Alb, ssinia. on the 30th. OF June, of an epi
demic fever.
Great distress prevailed at Cadiz--s
much so that the Chamber of Commerc
was about petitioning the King to make it
free port.

SUGAR FROM BEETS,

The bulletin of the Society in France for
encouraging national industry, for July last,
contains the following interesting intelli-
gcnce. The perseverance of M. Chaptal,
the President, in his efforts to encourage the
manufacture of sugar from beets, has COM
pletely succeeded, and it is expected that
France will soon be able to produce sutii-
cient OF this article for her own consumption.
1t is asserted in the most positive manner,
that sugar from heets, and sugar from canes,
are precisely the same substances. 1t is ac.
knowledged that the cultivation of beets is
very beneficial TO land, in preparing it for
a wheat crop, and after the saccharine mat
ter is extracted, the>root is excellent food for
cattle. Besides the produce of sugar, the
manufacturer obtains also molasses, which
gives considerable quantity of brandy; and
in the manufacture great numbers of work
men find employment in the dull months
of the year. Marshal, the duke of Ragusa
presented at the last exhibition, many fine
loaves ofsugar, made from beets at the fac

tory in Chastellon. A Mr.. Cresvel owns a
factory at Arras, where he made in 1892 a
Bout $780, 900 pounds of sugar from this We
getable by an excellent process, which he
communicates freely to all who wish to be
informed OH the subject. He obtains from
10 parts of beets, S quarts of sugar, and q OF
molasses. One hectGre of land, (21 acres, }
planted with beets gave him 5000 pounds OF
sugar. or 1900 pounds per acre" Mr.. de
Beaujeu, or Bellor, (Orne) has sinpl'hed
the fabrication of this sugar in a manner,
that it NAV be made in common families. 4

SENSATIONS.--I the course of one of
Mr.. Abcrncthy's lectures, at st. Barthoo-
news Hospital, he took occasion to excm-
plify the doctrine of the sensations not re-
siding i'll the part where they were suppos-
ed to be felt, but in the brain itself; and in
stanced the case of a man who fanced he
felt an itching in his ancle, and actually
scratched the extremity of his weoden leg,
to appeasc the supposed irritation. 1t is on
the same principle that when patients limbs
undergo amputation, they often fancy they
feel sensations in their toes and tlbgers, al
though those parts arc removed. 30 great
is tie delnslon at times, that they are not
satisfied the limb is of, until they have occu-
lar proof given them by the removal OF the
bandage from their eyes.

No peealiar advantage has accrued to
The United states from the enactment at
that British Law. Its continued exis
tence, moreover, now depends upon the
pleasure of British Parliament
But there is no disposition to dwell
long on this subject The true charac-

mIseonceiyed Great Britain aud the
United States have had III VI W COM
mon end of great humanity, entitled to
their highest aud best exertions. With
respect to the desire of attaining that
end, there is no difference of opinion
between the government of his Britannia
tdajesty and that of the United states,
in any of its branches But the Senate
has thought that the proposed Conven
ton was an instrument not adapted TO
the Accomplishment of that end, or that
il was otherwise objectionable. And,
without the concurrence OF the Senate,
the Conventions cannot receive the con-
slitutional sanction OF the United States
Without INDUCING, therefore, unayailing
regret it+is the anxious hope of the
President, that the Government OF his
Britannia Majesty should see, in all that
has occurred, nothing towards it un-
friendly an the part of the United States
and nothing that ought to slaeken their
seperate or united exertions, in the EN-
ploy mena OF all other pra, tical modes
to effectuate the great object so dear
to both, of an entire eAtlrpation of a
traffic which is condemned by reason,
religion and humanity.

WASHINGTON, GIN April, 1879.
Sir: have the nomor to acknowledge
the receipt of your letter OF the 9TH inst
IN which you announce to me dehnitiye
| decision of the President with regard
to the Convention for the more efec-
tual suppression of the >lave Trade,
which had the honor to submit for the
acceptance of this Government, on the
9th of November last
In expressing my regret at the failure
of the benevolent efforts which have
been employed in cause SO dear to hu
manly, may venture to assure you
that, however deeply HIS MaJesty's
Government may deplore the present
disappointment of their hopes, they will
consider the unfortunate issue of this
| business as 10 no wise affecting the
friendly feelings which exist between
the two governments, and will accept.
with pleasure, the expression of the
Presidents desire, that every exer,ion
should still be urged for eftec,ing the
entire extirpation OF that odious 1T ffic,
which the Convention was designed 10
suppress.
1 cannot dismiss TINS subject without
q brief observations on that part of your
lellerdn which you animadveri upon the
argument employed in mine OF the 9th
of November last, relative to the act
passed by The British Parliament, for d.
nouncing the Slave Trade as PIRACY.

the passage of that act, on the part of
Great Britain, as rendering 1t ,mperG-
tive ON the American Government, to
accede to the Convention, even at the
expense of a sacrifice of their constitu-
tlonal prer"gatiyes.
A reference to the expressions of
my letter, will, apprehend, at once de-
monstrate the erroneousness of this i'm
preston, by shelving that | put the case
and that urged the argument, above
alluded to. in the form OF an appeal, not
ofs demand
The denunciation ofthe Slave Trade
as Piracy, by British statute, was made,
by this Government, a siae qua no"a to
the signature of the Convention. AS
far as Great Britain was concerned,
tat proceeding, though perfectly con-
formable TO the views of Parliament,
quoted morality, was one ofpure super
ogation, and conferred no power towards
the suppression of the slave 'Prade, not
possessed before. Had the Govern
ment of the United States not expressly
desired the enactment of that statute, ii
would never have been passed; but,
being passed, its revocation, although
certainly within the competence of Par
Lament, is now. by the interpositon of
subsequent events, rendered taBtamount
to morally impracticable,
These circumstances will, | appre-
bend, amply justify, both the form of the
argument which built upon, then, and
the warmth With which urged it.
