I.’ noon Gazette Extraordi nary, Sept. 12, Extend of a letter from Major- General Beteeford to the Bight Honorable Lord Castlcreagh, rated Fort of Buenos Ayres, 1 Uh July, 1806. I trust the conduct adopted to- j wards the peojde here has had its full effect, in impressing upon their minds the honor, generosi ty, and humanity of the British character. His Majesty’s min isters will see by the detail cl our proceedings that,alter the ar my had passed the Rio Chuelo, the city of Buenos Ayres remain ed at our mercy, and that, in fact the only conditions on which I entered were such ass pleased to offer, and which humanity and a regard to our national charac ter would naturally induce me to give under any circumstances. However, to quiet the minds of the inhabitants, we not only con seated to put in writing niv pro n ucn, but acceded to many con i ditions not expected by them ; ! and contrary to direct stipula ! tion, gave up to the proprietor* i all the coasting vessels captured , with il.cir caigoes, and of which \ I annex a return, * and the value ! of which amounted to one inil i lion and a half of dollars, anti which being done with the views already exposed, will 1 trust, meet with his Majesty’s appro bation. I have the honor to inform his Majesty’s Mini.lers, that I had detached captain Arbuthnot of the 2Gih Light Dragoons, on the 3d instant, with a party consist ing of seven dragoons, and twen ty infantry (the whole mounted) to a place called Luxam, fifty miles distant. My principal ob ject was to have the country re connoitted, and to see what were the dispositions of the inhabi tants ; but with the avowed [ob ject of escorting track some of the treasure which had been tak en from here, and to prevent its following the Viceroy, which 1 had reason to suspect was iutend- I rd, though it was raid tc he all . private property ; and, in which rate tve had declared, if brought back, it should be given to its owners, if of this city—Capt a-it Arbuthnot returned Inst night, and lam glad to say with infor mation of a pleasing nature ; for your Lordship will e'e, by *h ! 3 detachment passing so easily through the country, that what ever their present inclinations may be, there i* no very great danger from any hostile inten tions against us ; and captain Arbuthnot reports rather favora- j bly of the general dispositions of : lire people. The country to Lux- , an as I have already represent- j eil in general the whole of it is a - fiat, and the view of the j horizon obstructed lay nothing j but the immense herds of horses 1 and cattle—but principally horn- j ed cattle. -Luxam is situated on a river of the same name, and where there is a bridge over it, and the route leading to all the interior j provinces, and I rather think it j will be advisable on many ac- j counts that ! possess myself ol it , which I can do bv a small de tachment. Much of the treasure was caught actually going to Cordova, and the rest, but for the opportune arrival of the put ty, would have been pillaged. The Waggons conveying this treasure may he expected here to-morrow. Those with the Roy al treasure and that of the Phi lippine Companv, arrived some time since, and is already em bttiked. The honorable Major Dearie, tvhoisthe bearer of these dis patches, will give any further in formation u> ins Majesty’s min is'ers that they may and. sire ; and 1 beg to recommend him as an niicer deserving ol any mark ol favour chat his Majesty may he graciously pleased to bestow on him. * It has been found difficult to procure the return of vessels here alluded to, at least the names of all. They are of vari ous classes, from one hundred and fifty tons downward*, and amount in the whole to one hun dred and tighty in numbet.
