force was waiting the arrival of two more divisions
of their army, when it was expected they would
be able to capture the city. The entrance of
cattle into the city was stopped the day before.
We have been furnished with the following ex
tract from a letter dated.
“Montevideo, 15th August, 1838.
Our last advices were of the 20;h Juno, since
when the blockade of Buenos Ayres continuing,
all vessels arrived since our last have be n obliged
to remain at this poit as before; but notwithstand
ing, prices of imports hove been sustained better
than could have bren expected. This may be
partly a Inbutcd to the continual running of
small craft between Ibis mid buenos Ayres and
other ports of those Provinces, owing to I lie mod*
eration thus far exercised on the part ol the
French, but should they become morn severe and
make prizes nf all they capture in ibis italic, n
will tedttee it very much, and the lessened de
mand thereby will bo sensibly felt in our market j

I In our last number, we published a paragraph

that a treaty was negocia'ing between some of

From the Army and Navy Chronicle.
Desertions, vve are happy to learn for rho cre
dit ol our army, are not confined to our own
service. I is a homely proverb, though by no
means a oharituble one, that 'misery loves com
pany.’ Wc nu t confess that we should Ike
to seeeveiy nni-loy service conducted such
principles that while • ;ct discipline is manifest.
I ed, tire men n ay become attached to their com
maaders as welt as their profession.
A water in a late number of '.he United Her
vice .brumal, complains loudly of the frequency
of desertion from the liritish Army. He says ;
“to so great a begin has 'ibis grievance ari.-eir—
so little dedefence is paid to unlit ny authority
mid subordination—so grossly is discipline tram

if it be, Hie army will lie annihilated.”

without proin'sing himself, to take a sea', as.
ter a few hah-siippresseu groans, on a bunch
near the table, on which wo we e about to
play. I was first struck with simp con of the
fellow by this fact. Iftlicmatter was so pan
ful to bis sp rit, why dal he linger in our neigh
borhood when there was so many parts of I lie
tmiit to winch li 'might, have retreated 1 The
suspicion grew stronger wnon I found him,
after a little while, as watchfully ut onlive lo
Iho prog,-css of iho game as any of the players.
Favourably impiesseo with Iho frunknoss
of the Georgian, I proposed that we should
play against ihe other two persons who were
prepared to sit. down lo the table and my oi
ler was closed with instantly. We bet on
I eaen hand, on the hig.iest trump, and on the

a good many dollars staked on the gem ral re

I displayed ronie id iny cards ostentatiously

•villi the result, o my cxuer'ment, nod began
to thmk of pausing before 1 proceeded finli'T;
when my Georg an dashed down his curds as
me game was ended against us, and cried out
to me, with a countenance which, though
flu-hod, was full of excellent feeling—
‘ L ok yon, si ranger, suppose vve change.
We don’t seem to have luc',; together, and
there’s no 1, <n being all the time on Ihe lo

an air of ii eli’ihle heroism, turning to my pari,

Tue other looked fierce for a moment, but

had replied without heeding Ins air of valour,
and there w issorneihing about his composed

point whether anything in the shape of art in
