Commanders of the two armies had estab-
lished the highest degree of discipline. At
the commencement of the action, the Bue-
nos-Ayrean army numbered about 5000
men, principally mounted: that of the Bra
zilians about 10000 men. The Brazilian
General, aware of the powerful charge of
the Buenos-Aylean cavalry, protected his
centre and TANKS by large body of Ger
man Lancers. The encounter was furious
and bloody, and the slaughter, consequent
ly, immense on both sides. The battle
lasted, without intermission, until night
separated the combatants. The loss on
both sides it is supposed is nearly equal in
all, about 5000 troops killed and wounded.
The Brazilians officials claim the victory,
but the people Of Rio Grande seemed very
doubtful on the subject; as, notwithstand-
ing their attachment to the Emperor, (hav-
ing short time previous voluntarily pre-
sented him with 100000 dollars they did
not evince any signs of JOY or graduation,

alton of their houses. Of the further de-
tails of this battle it was impossible at the
time of leaving Rio Grande I'D March) to
obtain any information, the official reports
of the day not being entitled to any credit,
and rumors being equally unsatisfactory.

SEVERE STORM.

A severe storm was experienced in the

down of chimnevs, battlements, &c. among

The entire sugar camp of Mr.. Bills, in that

fences and trees in all directions; and we
have reason to believe the ravages of the
storm have been very extensive.

forest trees, either wholly or in part demol

Carriages are now RATED over the river at
Cape Neddock, in consequence of the loss
of the bridge at that place. Every bridge
on that stream and all the mills from York

swept off, except the last mentioned mill
which was saved in consequence of the
dams giving way very readily, and thus
affording free passage to the water.
