the Is tult, Capt, Beauvois states that
difficulty bad occurred between the COM
mander, of the English and French
BIockadng Squadrons which may lead to
rupture.
Il seems that the English merchant
brig "Ringdove," was lying ina small
port on the coast of Buenos Ayres, taking
in cargo, supposed out of reach OF the
vessels Of War; when she was taken as a
prize to the Blockading Squadron by an
English man-of-wsr schooner, and brought
to the outer roads Of Montevldeo, where
the admira's ship was at anchor.
The English Admiral told the comman-
der Of the schooner he had done wrong,
and ordered him TO take the brig back,
and leave her there unmolested.
The French ADMIRAL hearing Of it, and
not being willing TO submit to such an
outrageous proceeding, las no vessel un-
der any other flag would have been allow
ed such a privilege, and if the coast is
blockaded to one it must be to ALL imme-
dlately despatched man-ol-war brig TO
where the vessel had gone, took posses
sion other, and brought her to Montcvi-
dec, where she, together with her cargo,
consisting Of so pipes of talIow,) was
condemned and ordered TO be sold.
The account from Buenos Ayres states
there is no prospect of the difficulties be-
ing setiled-the port was still blockaded,
and OF course no merchantmen were
there.
The British brig Of war Racer, is said
10 have had her male killed in an encoun-
ter between one of her boats and some
people on shore. Also that the captain
of the French brig of war Tactique, and
several of the crew, were killed in an al
fair up the Uruguay.

The Buenos Ayres Packet of the 2nG
says:-"lt is understood that in all the
present month, the merchantmen engaged
IN the Parana bubble,will return; and it is
even SAID that the British and French
ships OF war will evacuate the river, the
expense of pilotage being very consid-
erable item in the disbursements of the
intervention. Many of the vessels which
went on the wild goose chase will have
been eight months on the round voyage,
and the losses accruing TO the parties con-
cemed are known to be so heavy as COM
plctely TO discourage farther specuIations
oi this description; even were the British
and French squadrons, with great waste
oi blood and treasure, disposed to protect
them with conveys. The lesson, it must
be confessed, has been very severe, but it
as TO be hoped that it will not prove even.
