BUENOS AYRES.
We have received the following advices from
Buenos-Ayres to the 5th Of March, which are the
la,est in this Country, and confirm the informa-
lion published exclusively in the Gazette yes

Ian Army at Rio Grandc.

has considerably ela,sd the feelings Of the peo-
Dle of this place. Admiral Brown, on the ninth
of February, succeeded in capturing eight OF
the principal Brazilian vessels which he had
been blockading in the river Uruguay, for some
,ime-since then the remainder have yielded 10
| him, in all seventeen vessels.
"The Brazilians still shew fifteen or sixteen
sail mostly large vessels, in sight OF this city,
the latest news from the Rio Grande states that
the Brazilian army had been routed, and many
prisoners taken
sour markets remain at very advanced pri-
ces; specie bears an enormous premium, and We
are inclined TO think will still 60 higher, should
there not be a change In the political state OF
the country.
"The only arrivals we have had for some
time are the schooner Hero, from Montevdeo,
which escaped the vigilance OF the blockading
squadron; the schooner Margaret from the Cape
de Verbs, and the British packet"

TO be sent from Great Britain 10 Canada this

quail number from Ireland, and 1000 from Eng.

has been repealed, and $4,000 persons in Scot
land have petitioned to be sent to America
greater number than usual may therefore be
expected in this state from Canada.
We observe by the list of arrivals at Que

arrived with lis emigrants, almost all from
