BUENOS AYRES. 'I hh.• following extracts of letters contain a narrative rt li•+p•.rtant occurrences at Buenos A) res. subsequent t•• the appointment of Sat atea as ljueern••r.

Alvear returned here on the 21th, and on the following day assumed the command oft hr army,when his first step was to place Soler, French, Iteruti. Parole, Qaintana, and the tuts Escalades, nailer arrest. On the finds, Alvear received a peremp tory order front Serrates to renounce his pretensions to the command of the army, and retire front Buenos .byres : to chick, however, though at that time hr had no more than 70 (*Bowen on whom he could de pend, he refused obedience. In evening he received a great accession to the member of his followers, hick enabled him to take possession of the Retire. fe It appears that Alvear assumed the command without any other appointment than a requisition ad dressed to him, with about 2,000 sigaatnrrs 'Backed to it. to enter on the office. Early on the following d u) he laid hands on all the horses to be found nest his post, and started for she point where Carrera is saki to Le collecting troops for an expedition to Chill, tt ith a view of bringing about a change is that coun tr r, its Ulmer, it is supposed, of the federal principles n ►tirh hart, lately pined ascendancy in Buenos Ares. 'arn.ra, however, has signified to Serrates his dermal nation not to lutist Alvear in his 'themes, tad Ra mirez, the Chief of the Federal troops of Santa Fe, has made a similar declaration. " Nirety preparation has been mad. here to reeks the attempts of Alrear to being biassed int* power by beef, and the Governor has allowed arms and ammunition to lie gives to all citizens desirous of receiving them. It is oleo expected that Soler. the Commander in Chief. who the other Jay was arrested by Airear, bat repined his liberty on his departure, will niareb with such troops as are to be depended on, in order to attack ear, and essitravour to put a stop to this sew rebellloo. which is (+idly the result of the iodivideat ambition of ‘llvear to bring himself into power en any terms. This are occurrence appears to have pot out of remembrance the public inveteracy against the late Administration of Puerreydoe. whose foes and partizans appear at this meanest tireless, of uniting in endeavours to put down Meese.

No thing hos beett . ione against the latter; but he has retired to about Ip leagues distant. It is said be has 18 or INTO men seder his orders; but this is no doubt an snip ratios.

Dedeet Dengue HIGH TR EJSO N . --...-- STIRLING, .11ut.r fi.—The Court of Oyer and Ter-1 miner, consisting of the Lord President, the Lord Justice Clerk, and the Lord Chief Baron Sheppard, resumed its sittings here to-ilay at 10 o'clock, for the purpose of arraigning the prisoners, against w!:ons true bills were found on the 23•1 ult. The list of the (hand Jury is as called over, and the prisoners in the Bonnymuir ca , r, IN in uuwlwr, were then brouglit to the bar. The iderk of arraigns read the bill isf and required M'Culloch, the prisoner first in this list, to enter his plea of guilty or not guilty. Mr. Horn CVLLIM now rose and stated, that he was desirous of making some observations to the Court be fore the prisoners were called on to enter their pleas of guilty or not guilty, because lie bad a plea its abate ment to urge. lie began by stating, that he hoped, from his ignorance of the English law and of its forms, he should receive the indulgence both of the Bench and of the Bar on the other aide, while he proceeded to make the few observations which he considered it his duty to do in behalf of the panels. The plea of abatement was founded on the statute of ; cap. 3, and resolved into this—that the place at which the treason charged was said to have been committed, was not specifically m,e►►tioned in the in dictment. Hy the first overt art of the first count, the prisoners are charged with aseenthling on the lit of April, " with force and arms at the parish of Fal kirk aforesaid, in the county of Stirling aforesaid." He argued, that these words, " at the parish of Fal kirk," were too indefinite, and that the special rillc or hamlet where the prisoners did assemble, ought to have beet' mentioned. That there were several rifles or hamlets in the parish of Falkirk, and that it was impossible. to discover from the indictment to what place the charge was meant to refer. la support of his objection, the Learned Counsel referred to Haile, vol. ii. p. 190 ; Hawkins, R. ii. e. 23, see. 92, and JR e. 25, see. 94 ; and the case of Wilson against Lawns, tried in Trinity Term, 6th Williams and Mary; Selkin's Reports, vol. i. p. 59 ; rhitt) on Treason, vol. i. p. 197; Starkey, vol. i. p. 59, as 'honing that when the indictment is general as to the place, the law presumes that there is only oar villa in the parish. That in the parish of Falkirk, as there were several vines, the inference was, that the indictment was in sufficient. He urged this objection with mach diffi dence; and be touched in appropriate terms upon his own inability to argue in a matter °fistula importance, but that he bad been induced to state it, from the Lin page of the authors to whom he had referred. Mr. Serjeant Hrt.Los s anAwered, that if the crane was wrong laid in this case, he would put it to the Learned Lord (Chief Karon), whether there had ever been a meant correctly laid in the course of his Lord- ship's practice? It was held sufficient in Ragland if the mute was laid in a county, without specifying any parish or rills. The author,' cited by his Learned Friend, he contended, were mere compilers of what had at any time been stated before a Court, and that the objection was merely the lime digit of certnia young lawyers, without its bring drew effect to by a decision. Mr. HuHoch recurred to the C 1154. of Wilsou v. Laws, cited by Mr. Callen, to show that it was not applicable to the presort case. limppoehig that the objection was good, how, said the Learned Serjeast, could it be given effect to ? It %apposed the existence of silks or townships, which, in fact, did not exist is Scotland. A few houses connected together is the parish of Falkirk by no means constitnted a vide or township, and, were the objection taken, who conld put In an affidavit of such in Falkirk when no such thing was in existence ? This bring the ease, then, the arguments failed, seeing the fabric was bail. The practice of framing indictments in terms similar to the present one had invariably been acted upon, and he had never before heard of an objeclion of this de scription being stated. The Learned Serjeant then quoted a number of eases to show that it is a :efficient pence, if the parish be mentioned, without specifying the particular place in that parish, and he quoted the cases of Brandreth and Thistlewood, in 1817, and , Thistlewood and others, in 1820. Mr. Cut Leo rose and said, that in place of meaning to reply, he merely rose to say, that be was se mach convinced of the eorreetnetts of the Learned Serjeant:s argainents,that be did not mean to insist on the ob jection. The Loan Cuter RAIN complimented Mr. Culkn on the manner is which he bad stated the plea, and considered that he bad done right in stating it. Ws, Lordship's opinion was, that the objection use not good, and that notwithstanding the authorities quoted, the plea would in 'modern times have hewn overruled in Bogland if stated. Mr. CiAtnx intimated that he withdrew the plea. The Clerk of A rraigns.—Thonias M'Culloch, are you guilty or not guilty? Prisoner.—Not Clerk.—How will you be tried? Prisoner.-Byffilt trait mi county. • Clerk.—God send you a 'rind deliverance. The same questions and answers passed between the clerk end the other seventeen prisoners, and the whole procedure was gone through is the usostsormisnisanser. The Loan PRZOIPSIST thereafter intimated to the pri soners, that their trials would owe eat on the 13th inst., at nine o'clock in the morning. They were then re moved from the har. The Camelot, St. Nistians, and Balfron prisoners, are to be arraigned to-morrow; and the Grand Jury were directed soin to attend at ten o'clock, in case of any I objection Wag started to the indictments ; till which time the Court adjourned. The prisoners looked and conducted themselves re ' spectrally towards the Court, showing neither symptoms, lof agitation nor those of indifference. They were all cleanly, and looked fully as well as on the day when the Grand Jury found the bills. Baird, whose manners seem to border on politeness, was dressed in a grey loured 'retold, and his linens quite clean, and in good order. ' Sir Patrick Murray, one of the Barons of Exchequer, was present on the hooch. It is understood that Mr. Jeffrey has kindly toady wended, along with Mr. Callen, to take charge of the dormice for the Stirling prisoners.

Sin-I n all public matters, as well as in what relates to the affair• of the Queen, it has, for a long time, been the principal aim of " the Green Beg Administration," to raise clouds of smoke around them, with a view to conceal the various embarrassments in which they are inextricably invoked. Sensible that they have no safety against ridicule and contempt but in intellectnal confusion, their chief hope of perpetuating delusion rests en their dexterity at rendering clear subjects ob genre, and preventing obscure subjects from becoming intelligible. 'I heir paucity of ideas they labour to conceal under mountains of words. In proportion as their shallowness, folly, and failures beeome conspi cuous, they increase in the loudness of their boasting anti defiance. Against the universal reproaches of the public, the Premier now invokes responsibility with 1 as murk gravity as if he did nut know that we know that no snch thing as any efficient responsibility, exists. l'pou the present occasion, there is not an as sertion which Ministers have made that they have not been obliged to retract, or a position which they have occupied, that they have not been obliged to abandon. Nolo ithstanding the drilliug of the (areal Captain, the Omen Nag Administration may be pronounced at this moment to be the most awkward squad in the uni verse. Even Mr. Canning begins to be ashamed of them ; and, after having done her Majesty all the harm in his power, without the hope of being able to accomplish more, is said to have some ides of retiring. Others of the crew will nu doubt follow his example. At the approach of those convulsions, which their aseesures are so well calculated and cannot fail ulti mately to occasion, the boruughmoagers and their tools may be expected to quit their fastnesses, as foxes, rep tiles, and other vermin, at the approach of a pesti. knee, are observed to leave their holes and covers, and to seek a purer air. And their spontaneous retire west, *out the instinctive desire of personal safety, may reader that reform easy, which what remains of public principle, with accumulating national calamity, combined, have hitherto been unable to accomplish. The conduct of Ministers, in the case of the Queen,' although it does not materially differ in enormity from' the gementl tenor of their proceedings, for a lung time past, both towards the Crown and the people, has how-II ever this peculiarity, that, in all the recent series oil outrages comutived by them against her Majesty,) there is not by accident, a single measure which is not' essentially illegal, unconstitutional, cruel, and an-I princigied. The. omission of her name in the Litnrgy, which was at Pit defended as legal, is now perceived to be so cleaily the reverse, that the Archbishop of Canter bury has anxiously endeavoured to throw from his own dimeiblers the responsibility, which justly at taches to bind, (or having suffered it to take place. If [say talker proof be required of the took admission • of its Illegality, by Ministers and their partisans, it will be found in the Address of the House of Can t taws to her Majesty. No Address can he necessary j to induce any one to abstain from, or to relinquish that jb which he has no legal claim. The second measure of this series was the mockery and insult of acknowledging her right to appoint le gal advisers, to defend those other rights, which it was determined to take away from her. The prompti tude indeed with which this acknowledgment took , place, was of itself sufficient to hare put her Majesty upon her guard. 1 he third measure was an attempt to compound treason, as it has been aptly denominated by Sir F. Harden, by the St. thner's propositions. The fourth measure was the transmission, upon her j !talkiest'', arrival in England, of those Messages and I Green Bags, to both Houses of Parliament, which, fat Ifor that errire4 they have themselves declared, they would not hate transmitted. The fifth measure consisted of a negotiation, of which the very preliminaries rendered any adjustment or approximation impossible. The sixth measure was an attempt, on the part of ' the Lower (louse, upon the declared failure of the nel gociation, and whilst these Messages and these Bags lay, is terrortut, upon the tables of both Houses of Parliament, to overawe the Queen into the relinquish meta of the right of being prayed for, by name, in the churches....-This Address of the House of Com mons, supported by Ministers, was an unequivocal acknowledgment of the existence of the right, the ex ' erase of which those very Ministers had yet thought lit to refuse to her Majesty, arm their Own authority. Her Maj.:a t tic: r ef cam, what she amid net, eon sisti4ly • dignity, or honour, or safety, have avoided slehqy: she refused complianre with the ay. thority of thi% Lorre Cherreer. In adverting to this refusal,lLoriCastiereagh, with incomparable modesty, comperes it to a refusal on the part of his Majesty, under circumstances diametrically opposite. With great,gravity of countenance, he compares a refusal on the part of the Queen, to accede to a proposition de rogatory to her honour, proposed and supported by her enemies, in opposition to the votes of all her friends, to a refusal, on the part of the king, to accede to propositions, which were for his dignity and ad vantage, and which his friends and servants had, with his own concurrence and approbation, introduced and sopportqff la Parliament. His Lordship observes, if his bleblaty bad been advised not to comply with an Address)of the Commons, it would immediately be in quired urh• were the Ministers who dared to give his Majesty psch an advice. But his Lordship is here mistaktral No such inquiry would be thought meets eery. , All the world would be assured, before-hand, that ilea was not a being in the universe, besides the Nemheis of the Oreeu Hag Adusinistrutiss, earth , * of se osinplealy “ timing their heats 'pee them selves," as to advise his Maps/ to reject propose done which they themselves had brought lemma so. *Wally he his hemmer and advantage.

(In the speech of the Hon. No wt we see the question depicted with equal truth see ? , lent, whilst so great a proportion of the ReprePentap e "., of the people are employed to mystify It, or asiteg e j„, shamefully hang bank.) This nosy he considered,, their seventh measure; and it is thus defended by 64 Castlereagh : " With such charge* exist's', 4 1 4 had not called for [ovary, Misolsters would Isseei s , a contrast to - themselves. - So *Wyse," are•to bed lowed to violate all legal and constitutional prier* all propriety and decorum, in order that they se er ' , 4 be " o mitres. to thesserehes." Was it mot issue. heat upon them to have called for this inquiry ths , moment they received the charges ? Or du they eon s Bider themselves at liberty to coil or not to call hr in. quirt, as it may snit their pleasure or convenience? Are their duties wholly optional ? Truly these are mot facetious fellows to govern a free State! Rut, it swim they considered themselves at liberty not only to brim or not to bring, charges against her Majesty at their pleasure, but to refuse her the exercise of her rights and dignities without adducing the charges, cadent to compound treason upon the supposition it her guilt 1 I will venture to assert that such a series° atrocities was never before attempted to be committed against a woman, and a Queen, by the Moister, dans country pretending to civilisatios aid freellom. It is to be hoped, for the honour of the age and of the Li thos, which, I trust, are not yet at the mercy of Si nister*, that every part of the United Kingdom Mk without delay, follow the Isolable example *holy set them by London, Westminster, Southwark, Tut, and other plasm, in expressing their abhontarest measures so atrocious in respect to the Queen, Nth Constitution, to law, to justice, to decency, aid h decorum; and that their expostulations will be fa:. lowed up by suelearmin to bring their authors to air quate punishment. In degree of esornslty, the eighth measure exceeds all its pledocessors. A Secret Committee is appoiatsi to make an e.r•porto investigation of the critique. This Committee (*oasts of four Ministers, the seat M. lag all, or almost all, Ministerial Members (Lords Br skiso and Lanadowu having refused to serve): twos( them were said to be personally hostiles the *OW This Secret Committee, we are told by Ministers ad Mieir friesods, resembles In its fenetioss a Grose Jaye does the rosembiaacs hold?
