REVOLUTION IN BUENOS AYRES.
On Wednesday arrived here the brig Ve_
mis, Capt. Tunison from Buenos Ayies.—
Mr. Nathan Cook, the Supercargo, iy
lorms us that a Revolution had taken place
there, similar to that in Carraccas : the an.
thorities emanating from the Suprtme Jun
ta of Old Spain had been put down, and a
new provisional government set up, with
professed loyalty to Ferdinand VII. and to
continue only till his restoration to his throne,
but actually, no d'>ubt, with a view to com
plete a permanent independence. Mr. Cook
was in confidential rviu'ions with some of
the leaders, who informed him, that they
Contemplated a government as nearly like
that of the United States as the genius and
habits of the people woultl admit of, but were
aware that thoee were not such as to enable
them to enjoy the same degree of political
freedom with us. Thus, while the ambition
of Bonaparte [and the unjust policy of Great
Britain] is overturning the old establish
tnents and shutting up the usual channels of
commeice, in Eur* pe, new states are rising,
and new paths to commerce opening, in
the western world.
Mr. Cook has favored us with the minutes
he made ot the revolutionaiy events while
lie was at Buenos Ayies, fiom which we
have taken the following extiacts.
Gazette.
“ On Tuesday morning ibe 15.n ol May,
the long expected explosion burst forth. A
deputation I nun the several military com
mandants waited on the Viceroy, and de
manded categorically lus intentions, in the
event of a confirmation of ihe intelligence
Irani Europe, by a vessel just arrived at
Monte Video, announcing the actual removal
ot the Old Supreme Junta, the appointment'
ot a provisional one, the successes of the
French, and their approach towards Cadiz,
and the preparatory arrangements to n move
the scat of government to the Island of Le
on. I wo hours were given fur a reply
| However, there was nothing decisive till Sa
j tut day the 19 h, when the post from Monte
\ ideo brougut a confirmation of the above
particulars. A second deputation then wait
ed on the Viceroy, and demanded an im
mediate and public declaration of his inten
tions, whten he pio nisedto make. Sunday
-morning the Cabildo not fn d the Viceroy
that it was Indispensable that lie should re
sign his command as the autnnrity funn
which it proceed f-d no longer (listed, and
that lie must send the staff of office to ihe.n
in session. In the interim, he issued a pro
ciama ton to the people of the Viceroyalty ;
in which he tin k a cursory viy*w of the dis
astrous events in Spain, and the efforts n»a~|
king to restore confidence, &c Sc. Tnisj
address did not satisfy the people, as it left!
on their minds the impression, that he would
maintain his authority as lor.g at he could.
Several of the commandants entered the
p-tUce in the evening at nine o’clock, and
demanded, a resignation then, or a pro
mise of it in the morning——hinting in ve
ry plain terms that his refusal would oc-|
casion au immediate recurrence to force.
—He finally c >nsented to surrender his au-i
thority at 11 o’clock, the ensuing day.—— j
Patrols paraded the streets, and the troops
were all under arms in the barracks, during
the night.
On Monday the inhabitants were in an
xious suspence-the military and parti, j
x in* of the revolution were all in motion—
and the troops to the number of 8 000, as it
was said, wet e under arms. The alarm
beat in the morning-the ha<s of the pa
triots were decorated with the portrait of
Ferdinand VII. under which, and to the
button hole of the coat, was lied a white
libbon, signifying, as they said uniop a_
tnong themselves, and fidelity to Ferdinand
in the event of his restoration to the throne.
At one o’clock a number of pet sons attend,
ed m the square, and after some difficulty
cn die pan of the Viceroy, he made his re
signation.
1 he CabiUln summoned a meeting of five
hundred for the tu xt day, the 22d. It took
place at »en in the evening at the Curial,
(":'ne being admitted into the square but
.lie persons who had been summoned to the
meeting, and who weie furnished with tu k.
e»s ) j he debates ran high on Hie subj. ct
oi d qt si ig the V term, until correct infor
mation should lie received of lie fate of
Spain. I'he principal opp >ser of the new
order ot things ..as ;he Bishop. He was
answered by a LH Castillos, a leading cha
racter in the i evoiutioH, a native lawyer,
pov.es>*d <>1 c«>n>i<l ruble talenisand a dar
i'g intrepidity of spirit. Repeated plau
dits announced the favorable reception his
sentiments met with, and the impression his
oratory had made, lie concluded a speech
replete witn eh queuce, & with such strength
of argument in tavor of the change ot g >
vei nment, as as oni-hed the audience, ( which
chiefly consisted ot Old Spaniards, who had
been almost to a mail previously opposed to
any change tiia* would place the power
,in the hands of ihe peop.e,) ana induced a
vote lor deposing the Viceroy. 169 to 65.
Another meeting, on the 23d, was held,
jn order to coi firm by signature the vme of
the preceding day. Proclamation was made,
.that the Cabildo should exercise the pow
ers of the Viceroy, a^d proceed to the choice
ot a provisional Jutn i, until dt egites irom j
the interior provinces oula meet, with |
whom they would form a permanent govern |
rnent.
I i ne z* .1, tne i amltlo issued a procla^
ma il'll' announcing the deposing ot the
Viceroy. They assembled again at 4 p. m
the guns .announced tiie appointment of a
Junta, and tlie Mayor proclaimed the names
«>1 those >>f whom it was composed, viz:
'he late Viceroy as president, anu s4x others.
Immediate discontent was manifested,
principally on acc unt of tin- Viceroy’s ha!
vmg any share in the government ; andthe
result wai, that a imw election was made
on the morning of the 25th, and tlie Vice_
i«y was excluded. Provision was immctti
ately made tor sending deputations to the
interior, to invite delegates fioin the Cauil
dos of the provinces,and to tieat with them
respecting a proper form of giverament

the Bishop bestowed his benediction on .he

and a salute from artillery and musketry;

On 'he 30‘h, divinexervice was performed

American vessels now detained at t'. penha
