BRAZIL AND BUENOS AYRES. A War between the only Monarchical State in the New World and the neighbouring Republic of Buenus Ayres, concerning the possession of Monte Video, becoming more imminent, it may :not be uninteresting to trace the progress of the differences which threaten so fatal a termination: These differences had 'their rise in Europe, and have been bequeathed to the New States by the nations whence they spi.ung. In 1804 a treaty was concluded between Spain and Portugal, by which the latter pledged herself to restore the .five towns of the missions eastward of the •Uru .gpay in exchange for the• restoration of Olivenza in . Surope. Notwithstanding the Convention. POrtugal subsequently endeavo ure d to extend ,the boundary of Brazil to 'Monte Video. When the revolution commenced at Buenos Ayres in 1810, the Portuguese- e nd eavoure d t o foment the differences between the insurgents and their old masters, and were invited by the latter to• take possession of Monte Video, which the Spaniards had themselves lost. In 1812, therefore, his Faithful Majesty sent a force of 4,000 to take possession of . this fortress and - territory, under pretext of securing the tranquillity of his own -frontier, add pre.-erving a part of his Colony for the Catholic King. ,The Republic of Buenos Ayres had thus to oppose both their late masters and their encroaching neighbours, and a war was about to commence against Portugal, when Great Britan interferred, and induced the Brazilian force to withdraw. Matters continued on this new footing for two years,—namely, till the return of Ferdinand to Spain in 1814, when the Spaniards were filially expelled from Monte Video, and the country was occupied by masses of natives under a chieftain hostile to _Buenos Ayres. his Faithful Majesty availing himself of the disputes between this chieftain, Artigas, and the united priovinces of La Plata, overran, in 1816 and 1817, the territory of th. Banda Ori ental,and took possession of the fortress of Monte Video. The anarchy which prevailed in this province was the: for this invasion, but no claim was then, set up for its permanent posses- Nay, the Portuguese General even signed a capitulation, in which he pledged himself to deliver the keys of the city to the municipal body as soon-as the necessity for his presence should cease by the restoration of civil order. This ca pitulation .was ratified-by the King of Portugal at Rio Janeiro in November, 1817. Order was soon restored, but the stipulation which depended on it was not fulfilled. In • the mean time the parties that contended about Monte Video were again changed, and the seat of the negociations removed to Europe. Their Catholic and Faith ful Majesties after long contests were likely to come to an agreement, and Monte Video was to he surrendered to a Spanish force, when in -1820 the expedition which was about to sail from . Cadiz for that quarter, marched to Madrid to 're store the constitution of the Cortes. Portugal soon bad a similar revolution, and then his Faith. ful 'Majesty offered to acknowledge BuenoS Ayres, provided Monte Video were finally given up to round his Brazilian empire. In 1821 a congress was formed in Monte Video, under the terror of the Portuguese arms, which declared that the much --desired province incorporated it.. ! self with the united kingdom. of _Portugal, Al garve, and Brazil, under the title -of the . Cispla tine State. We give the following account of subsequent events from a work entitled " _ein Ac count, Historical, Political, and Statistical, of the United Provinces of La Plata," just published : " The acts of incorporation of Monte Video were, by the -Committee of the Cortes of Lisbon, in 1822, declared null and void. How strong a proof was this of the advantage derived by States and -international relations from a representative go vernment, which does not act upon the dictates of caprice, but according to the eteral principles of justice ! In the same year, through the mediation of the General who occupied Monte Video, the Ministry of Portugal proposed to that of Buenos Ayres to form a. defensive alliance, extending it to all the Ame rican States,,against those despotic powers who might wish to interfere in the interior arrangement of the constitutional States. A short time afterwards,. the dutiful son, *horn 'Don John Vl.' • bad left as Regent in Janeiro, as inconsistent in his actions as the son of Charles IV., placed himself at the' head of the independence of Brazil, and actually detiared it. As regarded the United Provinces, that' act in its intrinsic value was appreciated as it ought to have been. It cloyed the independence of the American Continent; 'and no thing could be More flattering for states which had.undertaken that great work:l2 years ago. It was also believed. then that the question concerning Monte Video would, on that account, become more plain, and that Brazil would furniSh a,great ex ample, contributing to - .insure her own independence, and to gain the favour of the • contemporaneous states, as well as of. the world. The example expected was, that she-would have disarmed the European army which occupied -Monte Video, and restored that fortress to Buenos Ayres. But the contrary of all this occurred. sion. • The General of the army of occupation in Monte Video hack already made this a personal question ; that is to say, the re taining of his command was not now so much a point which concerned his honour as his private interest. He forsook the army of Portugal, and embraced the independence of Brazil. In consequence of this step, he was, by -Royal decree of the 26th. September, 1822, declared a traitor in Lisbon—a matter to him of no moment, as he continued to feed the ambition of the new court with the idea that the inhabitants of Monte Video were desirous of sharing the lot of the new empire, by becoming incorporated with it ; on which assurance, and with , out further ceremony, ALlnte Video was placed in the Imperial :armorial bearings as a Brazilian province; and a new - Con-, grcxswas not then deemed necessary to s a n c ti on t hi s f arce as in 1821. The , separation of Brazil baying been declared, the Emperor dispatched an agent to Buenos Ayres to comunicate the occurrence to the united province, and to solicit them to ac knowledge her as an independent State.' It was impossible, inasmuch as it would have been dishonourable to accede to this solicitation. The recognition was consequently refused by the united provinces, through the medium of the Govern ment of Buenos Ayres, reserving the point for consideration when the Government of Brazil should leave the province of Monte Video at perfect liberty; and from that time negotia tions for this subject were set otl, foot in a more effective man ner. But the question had changed its nature, since it was no longer canvassed with a European nation, but agitated with an American State! It was necessary to avoid, as much as pos sible a war which would be of baneful consequences to countries cr:gaged in the same cause, guided by the same principles, and equally interested in resisting that fatal me thod of solving international questions which prevailed in ab solute Governments . , solely because the .interest of .such Go •ernments was always at variance with the interest of the nation over which they ruled. On these fundamental prin ciples,which the Government of Buenos Ayres ,proclaimed in 1823, it sent a diplomatic commissioner to negotiate for the re storation of Monte Video: and as he was equally authorized b)' the other provinces, even in the supposition, that they had not as yet recognized a general authority, his mission could not but be valid. In the mean time the army which occupied the fortress of Monte Video appeared suddenly to be,divided into two parties. 'The one lavonted the independence of Brazil, and was headed by the -Baron de Laguna, declared .a traitor in Lisbon, and who Mk been General-in-Chief. The other favoured the in iveidence of Brazil and Portugal, and was headed by one of the European Generals, named Don Alv a ro•da Costa de , Souza de Macedo. They had recourse to arms. The Bra zilian party made itself master of the country. The Euro-. „peon remainedin possession of the fortress: and here it is re quisite to make an important disclosure. All this apparently mighty business was no more than an intrigue, most artfully managed and disguised, between both the Chiefs. The Baron, whose repute was on the wane in Brazil, on account of his birth, and of other things, the mention of which would be ir relevant in this place, found himself compelled to conquer that good opinion anew. Don Alvaro wished to retire to Lis bon, and at the same time to carry with him a name of some kind to exalt his merit; besides he had neither a pretext to go, nor money to take him. This war facilitated the whole bu siness ; and it was the more .propitiOus, inasmuch as, even at the time, orders had arrived from his Most Faithful Ma jesty fbr .the European division to return to Portugal, which had been communicated-from Lisbon to -the Government of Buenos Ayree. Both armies having been put into motion, and hostilities commenced, nothing was wanting but that the Generals should give to their operations the appearance of a most acrimonious warfare, although.in private_they both exchanged letters daily. The Brazilian lard siege to Monte Video. The European or dered his divisions to sally out to pay to the others the usual compliments of war. But here a most -important circumstance must be called to mind. The natives, who well knew that the European army had already received orders to return to Lisbon, which was all that they wished, resolutely embraced the views of that faction, and opposed themselves to the Brazilian party, which apparently aimed at the perpetual domination of the pro vince. A body of more than a thousand men of all arms place themselves at the disposal of the European General; and those natives whom the Brazilian General had collected, in his sortie in the country, passed corer in great numbers to the fortress, while the 'remainder deserted, and took refuge in the moun tains. These were the only victims of that fraudulent war.' It would have been an sasy matter to break up in an hour all the Brazilian army, composed of 1,800 men, only 500 of whom w e r e i n a fit state to fight as soldiers ought to do. The European diiision exceeded 2,000 soldiers, inured to war, be sides the cavalry of the natives, whose prowess has been well tried in the war with Spain.' These troops wished to fight but they were not permitted. Time was spent in maturing the in trigue. The Baron detached parties into the country to compel the natives of each town to sign an act of incorporation with Brazil : which was an imitation of the farce of 1821 while Don Alvaro, within the fortress, parley :3 with the natives, de claring his resolution to comply with the orders of his Most Faithful Majesty, and retire, giving the place up to them. This afforded the Baron time to send to .Janeiro the ac counts of the two great proofs of his .patriotic conduct ; namely, the. war which he had carried on against the Euro peans, and , the acts of the incorporation of the country : and when they imagined that those documents had given the Baron the full credit which was necessary completely to influence the determination of the Court relative to that business, without awaiting orders, both Generals invited each other to conclude a convention. In fine, the Convention was concluded in 1823, the. bases be ing, that the Baron should be put in possession of the fortress and that Don Alvaro and his army should have their expences defrayed to Lisbon. Meanwhile the natives saw themselves surrounded• by traitors from within and without: but the Baron offering an amnesty for the past, and Don Alvaro replying, to the strong :protestations of the local authorities against his conduct, that the Baron would not admit of any con vention which did not acknowledge the surrender of the for. tress to his troops as a basis, they thought it prudent and important to ' avoid the effusion of blood. Nevertheless, in the midst of all the operations of that intrigue, Monte Vi deo, and in its name' the representatives popularly nomi nated by the whole city and suburbs, took occasion to draw up a solemn act, on tht 20th of October, 1823, wherein they declared. " That the•whole province—taking the aggregate voice of 'the country in the state of oppression in .which it now is- - and especially this capital, places itself freely and sponta neously under ti.e protection' of the province anu Government of Buenos-Ayres ; by which it is its pleasure that the fitting reclamations may be made when and how it shall deem best.-- In consequence, taking into consideration that the greater part of this neighbourhood urgently requires that protests against the violent acts of the Brazilian forces in the country rr,..iy be made by that body, which the said city and neighbodrhood would itself make, were it not for the unfortunate circum stances in which it is now placed ; and with reference to the tyranny and state of nullity with which the Provincial Con gress of 1821 was constituted, after an enlightened and mature discussion, by an unanimity of votes, it came to the following decision : ht. " That it declares null, arbitrary, and criminal, the act of incorporation with the Portuguese Monarchy, sanctioned by the said Congress of 1821, composed for the greater part of persons holding civil employments in the pay of his Most Faithful Majesty, and of individuals decorated by him with honourable distinctions, and of others previously placed in the Ayuntamiento inorder to ensure that result. 2d. " That it declares null and void the acts of incorpora tion of the towns of the country with t;ie empire of Brazil, in consequence of the tyranny with which the whole of them have been visited' by the Baron de Laguna, who • sent the aforesaid acts for theirxignatures zecninpanio4 by- strong detachments of troops, who conducted the inhabitants by force to the capitular houses, and who affixed the signatures of persons who had no existence, and of others who were ignorant of such proceedings. by reason of their absence from their homes. idly. " That it declares that the eastern province of the Uruguay does not, ought not, and chooses not, to appertain to any other power, state, or nation, than to that which composes the provinces of the ancient union of Rio de la Plata, of which it has been and is a part, having had a Deputy in the sovereign constituent Assembly General since the year 1814, in which it entirely withdrew itself from the European Spa nish dominion." Such are the very words of the act of the representatives of Monte Video. It was officially notified to Don Alvaro, upon which, however, he p reserve d a comp l ete • s il ence : and not withstanding this decision, the convention was approved in Janeiro, as was naturally to be expected—the Baron, now high in favour, recommending it ; and in consequ e n ce t h e E uropean army sailed for Lisbon, at th e ex p ence o f anot h er country; on which occasion Don Alvaro was distinguished With crosses and rank. Alas ! how some men trifle with states and their inte rests ! But let us return to the Diplomatic Com Missioner of Buenos Ayres. .The Commissioner opened the negociation in a conclusive manner. Be drew up a memorial, which has been printed —a document which sufficiently illustrates that business, and stre nuously urged a decision. B u t t h e Mi n i stry kept him at bay under a thousand pretexts: In the mean time arrived the acts sent by the Baron, decreeing the incorporation of the country of Monte Video with the empire, which were submitted to the Assembly which bad been recently installed in Janeiro. It is remarkable that 'the first, and, if I rightly recollect, the only deputy who spoke in that Assembly concerning these Acts, as appears by the newspaper called the Dianie, expressed himself in the most conclusive manner against its nullity. But, unfor tunately, the Emperor had begun to doubt Jheiufluence, and the too great or too little liberality of the Assembly, and in con sequence dissolved it, as Ferdinand did the Cortes; and follow ing, moreover, Ferdinand's example, banished, imprisoned, shot, and played off all the abominations of a genuine abso lute. What hoperwas left? Nothing could .be expected but what happened. The fortress of Monte Video being already in the power of the Brazilian forces, and no check existing, either to restrain the Emperor or his Ministers, they, after a long de lay, replied to the Commissioner, that be must have beer. under a mistake, inasmuch as the province of Monte Video was inclined, and voluntarily expressed that inclination, to re main incorporated with the empire. The Commissioner ob tained his ,passports, and the Government -of Buenos Ayres closed the affair, publishing the documents, and referring the decision to the general authority-ofthe UnitedProvinces,which was on the eve of being installed. You will have observed, that among foreigners this reason ing has had its weight—namely, that the inhabitants of Monte Video were disposed for the incorporation ; and it'has the more easily gained validity, inasmuch as they did not rise against an army of such very inferior force. But this, when we consider the whole astir, is a mere illusion of imagination. Let us sum up what has bean already said, and the conclusion, as,regards this argument, will be -That the inhabitants of the city of Monte Video, weary of -enduring-the consequences of anarchy, delivered up the fortress to the Portuguese in MU, but with the-stipulation that that -occupatiou should only he provisional. That the inhabitants of that country fought even against-this provisional oxupation until 1819 ' • and that, had it not been for the interp os i t i on of the municipal -body, they would, to this day, have been fighting against it. That the incorporation with Portugal, in 1821, was brought about by a few individuals employed and decorated by his most Faithful Majesty, and that it was-effected after the disarming of the native division took place. That the ihcorporation with Brazil in 1823 was openly re sisted by force of arms, and - that it would have been entirely null, had good faith existed-in the General commanding, or .had the natives-in time been aware of his intrigues. .That when the natives found themselves surrounded on all quarters, though they were in a state of blockade in the city, and on the eve of being, speedily given up to the hands of their greatest enemies, they declared with the utmost energythrough the medium of their representatives, the nullity of the incor poration, as well with Portugal as with Brazil. And from this it is also deduced— That the said natives have acted in this manner without hav ing had on their territory the least military support from Buenos Ayres or the United Provinces. That Brazil or Portugal, in order to obtain the acts of incor poration, even in. their vitiated state, were compelled to main- tain an army in the country more powerful than the native force • * R a * • But where shall w e stop, if I allow my pen freely to sketch all this history, with its stops, its points of interrogation, and of admiration ? And is it' not evident to you that, after having long attempted find out a.motive for the adherence of Monte Video to Brazil or -to Porttigal, the research has been. fruitless ? It is impossible to find any motive. It cannot be discovered either in the repeated confiscations of the property of the emigrants, or in the banishments of some, and In the impri sonment of others in .the dungeons of Brazil ; as little can be' found in the acts of violence perpetrated by the soldiery, and also countenanced by the officers, of such an arbitrary nature, that in no state, even moderately civilized, would the like have' been permitted ; or—but enough ! The time has arrived, for tunately for the inhabitants, when the question must ultimately be decided in a definitive manner. The United Provinces, now freedfrom external enemies, without any more engagements to fulfil in Chile and in Peru, and possessing a general govern ment and firmly established 'credit, will no doubt speedily take measures for enforcing the integrity of its t:rritory. Then will be seen whether the silence - and patience, latterly displayed by the inhabitants of Monte Video, are owing more.to their adhe rence to Brazil than to the respect which they have most pro perly attached to the ideas of peace and order which Buenos Ayres has invariably recommended for their adoption. Doubt not that the question will very shortly be brought to issue. Yon will have seen from this letter on which side justice lies.; and the interest which the natives of Monte Video and their brethren of the United Provinces will evince-in the decision cannot have escaped you..

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.-Yesterday at two o'clock the LORD MAYott took the Chair, and stated that the Court had been summoned to take into consideration what measures it would be necessary to adoplin consequence of the death of Henry Woodthorpe, senior, the Town Clerk, which took place on Sunday last. His 'Lordship said, that the elec tion of a person to fill the vacant office should be deferred ' or a few days, and that its the mean time Mr. Henry Wood thorpe, the son of the deceased, who had for some time acted as Deputy Town Clerk, should continue to fulfil the duties of the office. Mr. S. Dixon said, he was sure he spoke the senti. ments of every member of the Court when he declared that Mr. Henry Woodthorpe, jun. had always been most zealous in the discharge of the duties of his office. He moved that Mr. Henry I Woodthorpe should be requested 'to act as Town Clerk until some person should be appointed to fill that situa tion. Mr. Oldham seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Mr. Oldham then moved that a committee be appointed to inquire into:the emoluments received by the Town , Clerk. The motion was agreed to, and the Court adjourned. 'fur: REV. ALEX.

Almost all the baggage fell . into the hands of the Greeks, who.pursued the remains of the enemy's army in its flight as far as Vrachori. • PARIS, SEPT. 3. It is said that the loan which the three Envoys from Hayti, who have arrived at Havre, are going to negotiate at Paris, will be contracted by Messrs. Lafitte and Baring. [From the Quotidienne.l FARIS, SEPT. 3. A journal of the Liberal Opposition has to-day some remarks on the loan of 1.50 millions which the Envoys of Hayti are come to negotiate in France. To facilitate the success of this loan, the journal points out the conditions that it would be advisable to propose; among others, that of fixing the interest at 6 per cent. In case this loan should really be contracted for at 6 per cent., will M. de Villele look on this as a new proof that money in France is at 3 per cent. ? The Etoile is capable of it. 'The carriage stopped, on the 29th August, at Valenciennes, with two millions in gold bars, belonging to the house of Roth schild. A ministerial journal pretends that this gold, which was travelling without a permit, was to be changed at Brussels for .5 franc pieces. . The Memorial Bordelais contains the following news : According to recent letters from Gibraltar, it seems that the insurrection of Monte, Video against Br az il h a s b een cause d by .the secret intrigues of Doctor Francia, Supreme Governor of Paraguay, who has declared war against Bolivar, after having proclaimed Ferdinand VII., and received into the country which he governs the' remains of the Royal army of Peru.— The Memorial Bordelais has also the news of a revolt at Ma tanzas in Cuba, of which it gives no details ; the letters which announce it are of the 3d ofJuly, and ascribe it to the news of the emancipation of St. Domingo having been received there. To this we observe, that though the King's Ordinance is dated August 17, it could not be the pretext for the revolt, since Baron Mackau did not arrive at Port-au-Prince till the 3d of july. The letters from the Havannah of the 24th of June, relate, - as the Etoile says, that an insurrection broke out at Matanzas on the 14th of that month, that several plantations rose at once, and 1, to 1,200 negroes proceeded to others ttiat were at a dis tance, armed with muskets, pistols, and sabres. From 20 to. 25 whites, proprietors or factors, unfortunately almost all Frenchmen, were killed at the be/Inning, and several others wounded. But on the first alarm, the whites, united by their sense of their common danger, ie only ground of the tran quillity of Cuba, amidst the passions which ferment in it, and the revolution which surround it, rose in a body, and hastened on all sides against the revolters ; from 150 to 200 negroes killed on the spot. Pursuit is making in the woods after the fugitive.. Order*is completely restored. THE A. It MY.
