 A letter printed in the,Jewish Chroni- cle confirms the failure of baron de Hirsch's colony in the Argentine Repub- lie. The writer declares that the condi. tion of affairs at Moiseville, the name of the colony, baffies description. The land selected for the settlement was ill chosen and an enormous number of fam lilies are huddled together in tents and sheds, where they have been living for months in idleness and intrigue. The ef- forts to reform the colony made by Col G0ldsmid on his arrival was the cause of his receiving heaps of threatening letters and Col Goldsmid was obliged to ask for police protection. He therefore broke up the colony. Eight hundred of the colonists have sailed for Europe within a month.
