It is well fortified; and hither is brought a great part of the treasures and merchandise of Peru and Chili which are exported to Spain. It has an elegant cathedral, a small Indian church, two monasteries, five convents, a college, a beautiful square; and about 33,000 inhabitants. The trade is carried on with the provinces of Peru by means of carts drawn by oxen, which travel together in caravans. The country around is quite open and level, furnishing every species of American and European productions; but the most extraordinary circumstance is the propagation of cattle, which have multiplied so immensely that all are in common, and a great many are killed merely for their hides. It is seated on the Plata, 220 miles from the ocean, though the river there is twenty-one miles in breadth. Longitude 58 degrees 81 minutes west, latitude 34 degrees 35 minutes south. "The principal exports of Buenos Ayres are ox, cow, and horse hides; tallow and dye-woods."
