Capt. Mingle, oftho brig Alcyone, at Philadel phia, reports that when he left Montevideo on the 5th October, tho Buenos Ayrean army under Gen. Exchnnque was within two hours march or that place. The people ofMontevidco wore mak ing preparation lor its defence, and for this pur pose had enrolled every citizen, native as well as foreign, who was capable of bearing arms. A party of 400 French marines bad been .landed from die blockading fleet, and were prepared to aid tha inhabitants.

The Bank advances three-fourths of the market value, upon a pledge of the Cotton, hy discount ing the note of tiro owner, at six months; unless at a price to be agreed upon between die parlies. If ari advance of moro than tliree-fonrtbs is asked, the remaining ono-fourth will be advanced, by discount of an approved endorsed note. Besides the interest upon the advance, the Bank charges two and a half per cent for the man* ageuient of the business; leaving to die owner,, all die advantages arising from die foreign a'ud inland exchanges, except die two ond a half per. cent named. The rumor dial the Bank was purchasing Cot ton, is unfounded. A genderaan lately connect ed with the Bank, we learn, did a short time since purchase about 1800 bales, at from 12J to 13 cents—but the Bank was in no wise interested in 'the transaction, it being on account ofagende- man from Mobile, reccndy connected with the Bank of the United Stales.—TaUahasu Floridian* '30th ult.
