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.
