BUENOS AYRES TO ST.

FE.
SEPTEMBER 27, 1833.
In the evening I set out on an excursion to St.Fe, which is situated nearly three hundred English miles from Buenos Ayres, on the banks of the Parana.

The roads in the neighbourhood of the city, after the rainy weather, were extraordinarily bad.

I should never have thought it possible for a bullock waggon to have crawled along: as it was, they scarcely went at the rate of a mile an hour, and a man was kept ahead, to survey the best line for making the attempt.
