• (SiVied) " Florida, June 14." to - ment , ii 4 44kliogpence of a circular, dated May 27, from the koflelbi:Thief.'lDon Juan Antonio Lavalleja, viz.—Don Plaiiciair.toniuim Munoz, for the dopart went of Maldonado ; Don Loreto de Gomensoro, for the Department of Conolones ;- Don Manuel Duran, for thiDepartment of San JostpDon Manuel Calleros, for the No mein of Coloria del Sacramento ; and Don Juan No Vasquez, for the Department of San Domingo &risme jthett.being absent Don Juan Pablo, Laguna, for the Province of Dorazno). These Gentle men resolved that the time was wilted for fulfilling the , wishes of their worthy Chief, and that of their Con stituents. In virtue of this they proceeded to the electicn of a President ; and, by a plurality of votes, the choice fell on the oldest member, who was Doi Manuel Calleros. The powers of the members being then verified, the President declared as follows " GENTLEMZN—The Provisional Government of the Eistern Province of Rio de la Plata is legitimately in-'' stalled." In that state of things appeared in the hall, the Provisional Chief, Don Juan Antonio Lavalleja, expressing, in the most lively and energetic manner, " the profound satisfaction w hich he felt at having the boom of offering his salutations, and the homage of his gratitude. respect, and obedience, to the Provisional Government of the Province ; that the happy moment of their inauguration presented to his eyes the best recompense or his toils; and that he now swore before the fathers of his country, and before Heaven, which knew his inmost thoughts, that he would spend his last breath in defending it by the side of the brave men who trod with him the path of glory and danger." Having said this, he retired, leaving in the hands of the PS e3iJent a memorial which contained a true history of his proceedings from the time that he had the good fortune to touch the smiling shores of his native land. "Gentlemen, in conjunctionwith some worthypatriots, we conceived the happy idea of passing to this province from Buenos Ayres, to which we were led by the last events which took place here with the object of putting in motion our peasants, exciting patriotism, and attack ing the foreigners who conceive themselves masters of our country. In number only 33 officers and soldiers.. we disembarked on this shore, and we may say that our march has been a succession of triumphs. The heroic valour which at another epoch distinguished the eastern inhabitants of La Plata revived over all the province, and the cry of liberty was heard from all parts. Fortune favoured our endeavours. and in a few days has given us the most brilliant results. Such has been Or success over the enemy, that we have taken prisoners ¶OO soldiers and 20 officers, together with the encamp ment of Durazno.. We have now a respectable army. This army has been divided into different sections, which are placed in different departments." (Here fol lows the enumeration of them.) "All these corps, wl.ich are well armed, daily increase in numbers. and receive a regular discipline and organization. Pressed by the urgency of the occasion, I have appointed a finan cial commission, which superintends all branches. I have ordered the property of the emigrants from Monte- Video to be preserved to its legitimate owners, or till the Government .be settled • • In conjunction with Brigadier Rivera, I have addressed myself to the National Executive Government, inform ing it of our circumstances and wants ; aad though we have not obtained a direct answer, we have been in formed of the favourable disposition of the Government, and that it will take a more decided character when Commissiouers from the Government of the province arrive: Such, Gentlemen, is the actual state of our -affairs. I have the honour of now laying it before the Provisional Government, which I see installed with so much satisfaction, and which I congratulate, offering it henceforward my highest respect, homage, and obedience. " JUAN ANTONIO LAVALLEJA. The reading of this document called forth testimonies of admira. tion to the enterprising character who had carried into effect the heroic idea of freeing his country from the proud tyranny of the usurpers. The sitting ended by the election of a Secretary, and the choice fell on Don Francisco Araucho, who having taken the proper oath, was ordered to draw up the Act.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE NATIONAL ZIECUTIVE AUTHORITY AND THE COMMANDER 01 THE BRAZI LIAN SQUADRON, RODRIGO JOSE PZEREIRA DE LOBO. (LETTER FROM THE VICE-ADMIRAL). " EXCELLENT SENOR—His Majesty the Emperor and Perpetual Defender of Brazil having received the disagreeable information that an insurrection has broken nut in the Cisplatine province, instigated by many sub jects of the Buenos Ayies Government, who, seducing the imprudent inhabitants, and uniting with the per fidious rebel, Fructunso Rivera, have commenced hos tilities against the Empire of Brazil: the same august' Emperor being also informed that everything concurs to attribute to the Government of Buenos Ayres the most positive indications cf supporting the insur rection, not only by giving an impulse to the hostilities, publicly instigating the insurrection, opening sub scriptions in its favour, and predisposing the Banda Oriental to join what is called the Union of the l'rovinces of Rio de la Plata, but by having em ployed official papers and journals of Buenos Ayres to excite the general odium against the incorporation of. the Cisplatine Province with the empire of Brasil, making use of tle must degrading and offensive expressions towards his Imperial Majesty ; having also received notice that armaments and money are furnished to the factious from Buenos Ayres. besides hints given to those of Entre Rios to assist them ; it not being possible to deny the notoriety of these facts, while, un the contrary, they are aggravated by the late occurrence of the sailing from Buenos Ayres of five launches and a bilandre. full of men, for Colonia, with the intention of surprising some of the Imperial vessels stationed there ; to which transactions is yet to be added t:ie most aggravating and scandalous of all—namely, the seizure of the Portuguese Pvisannento Felix, now lying in the port of Buenos Ayres. The said august Sovereign immediately ordered his land and sea forces to repel force by force wherever it might be necessary, and to secure to the faithful Cisplatine people the enjoyment of their political rights as citizens of the empire of Brazil, with which are legally and explicitly Connected the swearing to the fundamental constitution and the election of Deputies to the National Assembly. , But his Maje st y t h e E m pe r o r , not being ableto persuade himself that the Government of Buenos Ayres, to which . that of Brazil has uniformly given every proof of a de . sue to ma.ntain their relations of friendship, should lend itself to the protection of revolutionary measures nab& coming a civilized Government, and should foster hos-, 'tility without making an Open aniTslank declaration of ear, be cannot resolve upon tfflOrtirrg to those mea sures of reprisal which the rights of nations authorize. send which be has at his dispoodo without demanding the necessary explanations on ems:actions of so extra ordinary a nature. " Accordingly, the undersigned Vice Admiral of the Imperial Armada, and Commander of the forces at Monte Video, has received ciders from his Majesty the Emperor, his august sovereign, to require from tht Government of Buenos Ayres explanations on these said transactions, firmly hoping that the said Govern ment will cause such of i:s subjects as are implicated in the revolution broken out in the Cisplatine province to withdraw therefrom ; this being the only means whereby it can be shewn that those insurgents neither have nor col expect to have protection from the Government of Buenos Apes; which Government ought also to use its influence with Entre Rios and Santa Fe, to prevent their assisting the revolutionists, it being presumable that those provinces would not lend such assistance without the connivance or approbation of Buenos Ayres. Moreover, his Imperial Majesty cherishes the hope that this demand, equally just and generous, will be promptly satisfied, in order to give a proof of the in genousness of the conduct of the Buenos Ayres Govern ment, and to convince the Imperial Government that its suspicions are not well founded, which for the com mon advantage, is much to be desired. " The undersigned in making this communication to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Minister of the Buenos Ayres Government, in order that he may sub mit the same to his Government, requests the favour of a categorical answer, and avails himself of the oppor tunity to offer to him the assurances of his most dis tinguished consideration. " On board the Liberal omelette, before Buenos Ayres, July 5. " RODRIGO JOSE FERREIRA DE LOBO, Vice Admiral. " To Dos Manuel Jose Garcia, Minister of the Buenos Ayres Government, and of Foreign Affairs." UPPER PERU. _ _ _ By the last courier from Peru, we have received a copy of the answer which General Sucre returned to the boasting note of the imperial Btazil commander, which we have inserted in an anterior number. The following is a copy of the answer : " Head-quarter, Chuquisaca, May 11. " To Senor Manuel Jose Aratqo y Silva, Chief of the troops of Brazil, on the frontiers of Iquitos. " The note which you addressed to me on the 26th ult. has just come to my hands. The Commandant Ramos, Governor of Chiquitos, not only wanted powers for any negotiation, but had no credentials to enter into relations with a foreign Governor. The surrender which he has made to you of the province is a treason and a perfidy, and you have committed an unjust aggression in occupying it. The province of Chiquitos belonging to their territories, and already placed under the libe rating arms, cannot receive other authorities than those sent it by the legitimate Government. " I cannot persuade myself that you have orders from the Government of Brazil for the invasion which you have made, and your conduct in marching to take possession by a usurpation of this part of the country, without declaring war, or publishing any explanation, is a most scandalous 'violation of the rights and the laws of nations,, which we will not quietly suffer. " Our Government desires the maintenance of peace, and of the strictest friendship between the Governments of South America : but it fears war from no quarter. It is only a short time since it humbled 18,000 soldiers of its proudest enemy, and its armies are dis . posed to snake themselves be respected, and to chastise injustice. " I therefore order the Commandant of Santa Cruz, if you do not evacuate the province of Chiquitos, to march against you, and not to satisfy himself with Geeing our frontier, but to penetrate into the territory which declared itself our enemy, to avenge our country, and to answer to your insolent note, and the atrocious war which you have threatened, by carrying desolation, terror, and death, before us.-1 reserve to my se lf t h e tight of complaining to the Court of Brazil. 44 ANTONIO JOSE SECRE." MONTE VIDEO, JULY U. In politics nothing decisive has taken place. I do not think it likely that any war will take place between the Buenos Ayreans and Brazilians; the former are timid, and too much afraid of the power of the Emperor. The Patriots on this side are about 3,500 strong; some engage ments will veiy shortly take place. The Imperial Bri gadier-Generals, Almeu and Barreto, have passed the Rio Negro, and are not distant above 10 leagues from the Patriot camp ; they may have 1,500 to 2,000 men. The troops that were sent down from Rio are dying by dozens daily, in consequence of the cold. lam sorry I have not time to write you at greater length, as the packet will be away in about a quarter of an hour, and the boat with the letter-bag is just going off.

Our chief reason for doubting the accuracy of the, intelligence conveyed from Rio Janiero, and which appeared in the Times of yesterday, was the exceeding improbability that questions of such momentous in terest both to Brazil and Portugal, should have so 'suddenly been disposed of. kir CUANTAS -gm Anfl only landed on the 18th of July , arid in the abort spicej of a week afterward; we are int - 6mill, rs'etdelly that the subject of his Cabinet discussions are known to the mercantile correspondents at Rio . Janeiro, but they ate. even informed, pending the negociasiuns, of the points agreed on, as well as those remaining sub judice. With all deference to the commercial world, we should humbly conceive, that arrangements on which the fate of nations are to depend, would not, according to the ordinary forms f diplomacy, be so easily settled, or be in this way whispered about, from the very accommodating motive of favouring the speculators in Brazilian Shares. The New limes of this day disbelieves the intelligence in toto, and insinuates, in disparagement of Ihe limes, that is it was made up for the London Market," chiefly because the letter is dated 28th July, and the packet had sailed at day-break on that day, (as if,:in a tropical climate, it were impossible to write:and dispatch a letter before day-break). And yet, with singular inattention to the subject of its own leading article, it has inserted the following letter from Rio Janeiro, of 27th July, only the day preceding the date of the other : EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LITTER. H Since Sir Charles Stuart landed here on the lath, he has had several conferences with the Emperor; and a Commission, coin. posed of three Secretaries of State, has been appointed to carry on the negeciadons with him. They have met daily ; and though the exact result does not transpire, yet I can with confidence state that three great points have been already settled—viz. the Independence of Brazil, the Emperor's sovereignty, and the succession to the throne. One point remains unsettled, which Is the gammons to be paid to Portugal. Upon that they differ, and dispatches are sent, connected with this difference, by the present packet. No doubt can, however, be entertained of the result, which is the amicable settlement of all differences between father and son." This extract corroborates substantially the informa tion communicated in the Times, so far as to prove suf ficiently that the intelligence was not made up for the London market," but that it was the current rumour of the day, in the coffee-houses at Rio Janeiro. That it rested, however, on any foundation, other than the preconceived ideas of the inhabitants, we must, for the reasons before assigned, take leave to doubt. This forenoon we received German papers to the 22d instant, containing a full confirmation of the favour able intelligence from Greece. ISRALHII PACHA still remained inactive at Trippoliaza, but a fifth divi sion was_ ready, in Candia, to reinforce him. The Austrian Observer even quotes from the Greek Chro nicks to the 10th of August, an account of the defeat of the Turks in their attacks on Missolonghi. The re solution and firmness of the Greeks are beyond all praise. Men ready to devote their lives to their country may perish, but they cannot be conquered. The follow. ing are extracts : CONSTANTINOPLE, AUGUST P.S. The affairs of the Peloponnesus seem to have taken an unexpected turn. Ibrahim Paeha's advance into the interi•r of the Mores was calculated on the dissenticins of the Creeks abd on treachery. As soon as Coloco. troni refused to listen to his seducing offers, and Misso longhi held out firmly, his enterprise was half based, notwithstanding the essential assistance that the French men in his service rendered him, which proves, by the way, that the Egyptians are no more able than the Turks to effect anything against the Greeks without the help of the Franks. He conducted himself, how ever, like a prudent and resolute commander; and should his enterprise fail, it may chiefly be ascribed to Commodore Hamilton, and to the declaration of the' Greeks, that they placed themselves under the protec tion of England. In short, his latest attempt against Napoli di Romania has also failed, and he returned, with the loss of from 1500 to 1800 men, to Tripo- Hass, where, however, if we believe the latest Greek letters from Smyrna, he will scarcely be able to maintain his ground. However, a fifth division was ready in Candia, to embark for his support. It is pro bable that the Capitan Pacha, after his reverses before Missolonghi, is gone to Suda to fetch these reinforce ments. An insutrection which is said to have broken out among the Sphackiotes, in Candia. will doubtless have been suppressed by the Pacha of the island, and have no influence on the embarkation of these rein forcements. and the Terkiution to cte, and the feehig t i nt d ie Greeks never submit to the faithless Agarene with out blood, were the tames which preserved this town, and consequently.

We have received7l7;7A the Con.rtitociond Bogota to the 17th of June. They are princip a ll y occupied with the debates in the Colombian Semite so far back as February last. They contain a letter from Vice• Admiral CANTZ LAAR, the Governor of Curaxao, to the Secretary of State for the Foreign Affairs in Co. lombia. This letter, which is dated the 4th of March, thanks the Colombian Government for the fiatteriat, at. tentions shewn to Lieutenant. Colonel De QUARTEL, who had been sent by the Admiral to Bogota, and states that ke hal acquainted his Government with the dispositions and state of the Republic. The Gower. nor of Curazao then adds, se I hope soon to have the high satisfaction of communicating the definitive de. termination of my Sovereign to enter into negotiations with Colombia, which by means of the reciprocal friendship already existing between her and the Nethe r . lands, may promote the closest union and be produc tive of the most lasting advantages to bath countries." These Papers state, that the factious in the province of Popayan were few, and having no means of sud. sistence but by robbery, laid in wait for travellers, whom they assaulted and plundered. The city of Porto had not been implicated in the affair, but on the coo. trary had formed a body of siz hundred militia, for the purpose of assisting the garrison. The Commandant General of the Cauca taking all these circumstances into consideration, ordered the two companies of militu, whom he had called out for the defence of Popayan, to retire to their homes, and the Executive Power had re. called its decree, declaring the province under manial law, conceiving that there were sufficient forces aid moans in the province to accomplish the suppression of the banditti. The Constihscional of the 161 of June, has a leading article on the present aspect of affairs in Europe, is which, after alluding to the friendship of Great Britoil, and the hostility of some of the Continental Powers to the new Republics, the Editor says, " To our own in• dividual strength we mast principally look to carry us triumphantly through thecontest in theevent:ofour again engaging in war, and must hope to preserve by our own arms what has been gained by them. Our policy at present should be, cautiously to abstain from whatever might give our enemies an opportuniti of interfering with us ; and steadily to promote the prosperity and credit of the country by the enactment of wise laws, the most scrupulous adherence to our engagements, which can only be effected by an economical and rigid ad ministration of the finances of the nation, and an in violable regard for the civil rights of the citizens at large." The French Papers of Sunday have reached us. An Ordonnance of the Kum decrees that the anniversary of the 16th of October, 1793 (the day on which the Queen MARIR ANTOINITIR was executed), shall bo henceforth united with that of the 21st of January, the anniversary of the tragical execution of Louts XVI. A Journal published at Boideaux contains a letter, dated from Bayonne on the 18th inst. in which it is stated that two of the four Regiments encamped in the vicinity of that town are about to return to the interior of France.

The Austrian Observer contains extracts from the Greel Chronicle, Nos. 51 to 60, including a whole month from 9th July to 10th August, containing, among other things, an account of the attack made by the Turks on the 2J August, by which, says the Austrian Observer, the exaggerated statements given in some of the Jour nals may be best refuted from the mouths of the Greeks themselves. The Austrian Observer has not yet given the whole of the extracts, the Journal e fthe Siege coming down only to the Ist August. .No. 60 has the following article : MISSOLONGIII, AUGUST 10. After a short interruption, which circumstances made unavoidable, the Greek Chronidc recommences its work,' and announces, as the faithful and impartial observer of these ever-memorable days sf Greek history, struggles such as Hellas has not before seen, and which Europe and In ture ages will extol as immortal. The Journal of the Siege will continue, with wonted impartiality, the narrative of events, and especially of the attempts to storm the town, down to the latest perioi. The Editor, far from adding anything beyond the tiuth, will only praise the seal, the perseverance, and truly noble conduct of the defenders of the fortress. Missolonghi, the bulwark of Greece. was reduced to the greatest want both of ammunition and provi• sions : a great part of the ramparts was destroyed, most of the batteries were dismounted, and the enemy had reduced it to such a state, that it could not be convi dered as a fortress.
