Surrender of buenos ayres. Prom the Royal Gazette Extraordinary of tht liavanna , dated 4/A September, 1087. His excellency Don Juan Maria Villavicen •cio, general commandant of Mariana, has fa ~.ored us with the following copy of a letter, con taining an extract from the Peruvian Minerva Extraordinary of Lima, of the 18th and 22d of August. We hasten to lay this pleasing intel ligence before the public in an extraordinary Aurora. Lima, August 18. By an express dispatched by the intendant of Areq'uipa to this government, we have received early this morning, the pleasing intelligence of the total destruction of the English in the river La Plata. Don Joseph Fernando de Abascal, of Souza, gentleman of the order of Santiago, marshal ot the corps of the royal armies, viceroy, govern or, and captain general of Peru, &c. We seize the earliest moment to make known to the beloved people, the great news we have received by an extraordinary courier. The en emy, to the number of 8000, attacked the city of Buenos Ayres—the valor of our troops com pletely routed them, with the loss of 2000 killed and wounded, and an equal number ot prisoners, amongst these are 103 officers, including gene ral Crawford, 5 colonels, 2 sons of noblemen, and one lieutenant-colonel. The remainder took refuge in the square Del Uetiro, where, to sue tlieir lives, they saw themselves nccessita tecl to capitulate—amongst other things, they arc to leave the river La Plata, and evacuate Monte veido. This glorious action confirms me in the opin ion that 1 had formed, contrary to the erroneous opinion of the English, that the American Span iards do not yield in valor to those of the mother country, and will prove that, if the enemy shall again have the temerity to attempt to invade this viceroyality, they will not leave it on more favorable terms. Jose Fernando Abascal. Relation of the Victory at Buenos Ayres. On the 26th June, eight vessels made their appearance before Buenos Ayres. On the 28th, 8000 men landed from them at Ensenada de Barragan, under the command .of generals C rawford and Wlritelock, and marched imme diately towards the said city. On the first of Julv they encountered our army, commanded bv the brigadief Don Santiago Liniers, and had frequent encounters and skirmishes until the sth, when the enemy advanced with the inten tion of entering the city, but they were then at tacked by our forces'from the several entran ces of the streets, squares, galleries, and balco nies, and after four hours of action, were entire ly killed, wounded and made prisoners, with the exception of a picket of 800 men, with which general Whitelock took refuge in the convent of Santo Domingo, without the walls. 1 hey were here battered in breach, until after a se cond request made to general Liniers, they were admitted, in concert with other generals, to the following capitulation:— Art. 1. From this moment hostilities shall cease on both sides the river La Plata. 2. The troops of his Britannic majesty shall retain for the period of two months, the fortress and pla,ce of Montevideo, and the country con tained within a line draw n from San Carlos; in the west, to Pando, in the east ; which shall be considered as a neutral country—and no hostil it .es shall Jake place with this line* understand ing bv this neutrality that each nation shall live there, subject to their own law s. 3. A reciprocal restitution of prisoners shall he made, including the whole, which have been made in South America, from the beginning of the war. 4. For the more speed , dispatch of the ves sels and troops of his Britannic majesty, the provisions they require shall be sent them to Montevideo. 5. The period of ten days is given from this dav for the re-embarkation of the British troops, that they may repair to a certain point in the river La Plata, taking with them such arms as they possess, with the artillery and ammunition remaining, and they shall embark at such pla ces as arc the most convenient for them, and such provisions as they stand in need ol shall be furnished at their cost. (>. ‘Piie place and fortress of Montevideo shall be left in the situation in which they took pos session of them, and all artillery taken there shall be delivered up. 7. Three officers of superior grade, shall be given as hostages mutually, until these articles are complied with, and it is hereby understood, that the officers of his Britannic majesty cannot serve against South-Amcrica until after tlieir arrival in Europe.
