Charlest)ii Courser’
BOSTON, Feb. 24.
From the Riser Plate. By Mr.
Wells who arrived in town last
evening from the River Plate,
by the way of the Vineyard, we
have the following particulars :
“ After the re capture of
Buenos Ayres commodore Pop
ham came with his squadron be
fore Monte Vicdo. About the
sth cf October there arrived
from the cape of Good Hope, the
Lancaster 61 Medusa frigate &
a number of trun pons, with a.
bout ISOO troops.
On the 28th of October an at
-1 tack was made by the squadron
; against the town of Monte Vie
do. But for want of water for
the large ships, the attempt was
relinquished. But the next day
the town of Mnldonada was tak
en by[the said troops and remain
ed in their possession November
25 when Mr. VV. sailed.
It appears it was the object of
commodore Popham to keep pos
session of Maldonada, and re
main in tiie river until lie had ac
counts from home. If reinforced
1L was believed he would in ike
a serious attack on Monte Vie
do ; but il otherwise, it was sup
po .td lie would leave the country
directing a tew ships to remain
to blockade die river.
Considerable di,tress and dis
content stems to exist in tbs
Province of La Plata, which
may lead to consequences not
generally expected.
NEW-YORK, March 2.
The city of Venice, has been
bombarded by a British squad
ron, and the gun boats lured out
there are destroyed. The L-ri

j tvries and redoubts. At AI a
! cars;*, in Dalmatia, six Russian
frigates have landed troops, who
stop tiie communication with R&-
gusa.
Cant. Hilliard, from Lisbon,
informs us that the blockading
decree of Bonaparte had ocua-i*
oned much confusion and siug-
I nation of business throughout

which were loaded and ready to
tail for lingland, had refused to
proceed, and were about relanil*
ing their cargoes. The Portu
guese government was embody
ing troops, and repairing and fit
ting men of war lor sea, but the
object of these measures was
kept secret.
A very great decree ot alarm
has been excited at Newark, by
the prevalence of a diicaie,
which has been not only very
fatal in its eifeds, but molt ca

tiie victims have been carried
