BY the arrival of the bark Conway, Capt. Wood
ward at this port last evening, we have advices
from Buenos Ayres to July "a. The country was

The Treasury notes expire on the nineteenth day
of August, 1864 The coupons are made payable
every six months, therefore the fifth one is due
February 10, 1864. The last amount of interest is
due and will be paid with the note at the first men,
toned date The coupons specify the interest of
each at 1865 per 800, two cents per day. but no
allowance is made for February 20, 1864, that
year being leap year. The holder of one
hundred dollar note loses two cents by this

dollars borrowed it makes saving of thirty thou
sand dollars to the government-enough to pay
the principal Of three hundred of these notes.
