~ U. s. BRIG BAINBRIDGE.


MoNTRvIDRo, September 2S, 1874
JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Eso.-
DEAR SIR:-


Presuming that you would be pleased to heal
tsom this port, l take advantage Of the English
aAnkat n send -yon a line or two


We have been lying here three weeks, and dur
ing that time have had singular variety Of
weather-one day being calm, bright and warm,
the next, cold, with fresh gales and very heavy
ground swell, rendering an excursion to the shore
any thing but pleasant. In regard 10 the war low
going on here, have little to say; not much has
been done since our arrival. The other day the
MOntevideo gun boats went out and attacked one
Of the B'ockading Squadron, but they returned
without prize, and have not learned if any thing
of moment occurred
We hear plenty Of firing, but presume it comes
from The Outposts.


There is quite large force of vessels of war an.
chored near us, consisting OF English, French,
tuguese, Sardanian, Brazilian, &c, making quite
a respectable show.
Business is almost at Sstand still; the people
are hard up for provisions, and from conversations
have held, there appears to be but little prospect
of a speedy close to the war


The U. s. ship Boston sailed for Buenos Ayres 3
days since. Captain Pendergrast, Ibeleve, hasren-
dered considerable service to our Merchant Ma
rine during his stay off this Port His ship is in
most perfect order and discipline, and is in fact an
ornament to our little navy.


The brig is a beauty, and though we do not make
much noise, sti hold our heads high enough and
fatter ourselves that beat the Frigates Raritan,
Congress and Unired States, Ito say nothing OF q
French Sloop Of War,) in fair race off Rio de ia
neiro.


Please report the vessel, officers and crew all
we'll


A few of your papers oat this way would glad
den the hearts Of all our "New Yorkers"
1 will write when l find any thing of interest to
communicate Truly yours,


UOyrrrr -
