_ The wretched, brutal, warsull continues, Yesterday an
officer and nine men. from the city were surprised ‘just out-
side the walls, aud all their heads severed from their bodies
and left'on the ground. ‘Phousands in Monte Video would
be served in this way ifthe invading army should Sticceed
iti overpowering its defenders; but it is not probable they
will succeed, as three thousand Frenchmen have armed in
its defence. The city has been thus far saved by the inter-
position of the British commodore, who has received for so
doing the condemnation of Mr, Mandeville, the British Mi-
nister_at Buenos Ayres. But the Commodore will receive
the applause of his Goveratient, and Me. Mandeville its con-
detination. Jn'the attack of Rat Island by: Admiral Brown,
