RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES ON THE
PARANA.

War is once more the chief feature in our intelli-
gence from the Argentine Confederation. Buenos
Ayres and Entre Rios are the contending parties;
the latter province being governed by General Ur-
quiza, who notwithstanding the revolutionary move-
ment at Buenos Ayres of Sept. 11th, still aspires to
direct the affairs of the general republic. General
Juan Madariaga left Buenos Ayres Nov. 11th with
an expedition composed of 1,400 men, cavalry and
infantry, and on the 15th General Hornosf disem-
barked in the port of Don Basilio in Entre Rios,'
and immediately threw himself into the province.
General Madariaga's despatch, dated Don Basilio,
Nov. 17, states that General Hornos had entered the
town of Gualeguaychu, where the inhabitants had
declared in favour of the movement. The general says
that horse, and meat are brought in abundantly,
and that the people were disgusted with the rule of
Urquiza. In the same despatch he states his inten-
tion of moving upon Arroyo de la China, there to
establish his centre of operations. A second despatch
of Madariaga, four days later, confesses that, on
arriving at his intended centre, the writer's division
of infantry suffered a defeat there. On the same
day, however, according to the despatch, Gen. Hornos
" obtained a triumph over a detachment of Urquiza's
forces, headed by some of his most accredited gene-
rals. Hornos had met with no opposition from the
masses; on the contrary, many parties had offered him
their services, which he generally declined, recom-
mending every one to remain quiet. His force now
amounts to 4,000 men. The Entre-Rianos ace tired
of fighting, and General Urquiza must now fall by,
the very same causes that upset Oribo and hones."
Such is the Buenos Ayrean version of these events.
Letters from the province of Entre Rios, published
at Monte Video, state that the Buenos Ayrean gene-
rals, far from meeting with the success and encou-
ragement of which their despatches boast, have
rushed upon certain ruin ; that the only fact in their
communications is the rout of Madariaga, that Hornos
was retreating, that the whule province was flying
to arms on behalf of its -chief, and that 4,000 men
had joined Urquiza's flag within four days.
The Correntinos have entered into a league with
Buenos Ayres, which the organs of the latter govern-
ment assert to be of a satisfactory character.
In San Juan, it was said, a party had organised
itself for the overthrow of Benavides, a governor
friendly to Urquiza, and having deposed him on the
14th Nov., set up a certain Yanzi in his stead.
Of the interior provinces generally the British
Packet says that nothing is known ; we must there-
fore judge from their past conduct whether the same
journal is correct in stating it as " certain that they
have not moved and will not move a single hand."
The National Congress was assembled at Santa Fe
on the 20th of November, and was to hold its sittings
lunder the delegated presidency of the Minister
Pena. Of coarse neither Buenos Ayres nor Corri-
enter was represented.
Paraguay has accepted the pacific overtures of the
Buenos Ayrean government, and will observe abso-
lute neutrality in the pending contest.
Our Rio correspondent remarks on Argentine
affairs :—According to the accounts which we have re-
ceived the political aspect of the Argentine Republic
is more unsettled and uncertain than ever. A new

disorganisation has taken place, and the contending
parties (to judge from the tone of the press on the
one side and the other) scarcely seem to know what
they are aiming at, or what the ultimate result of the
struggle is to be. The opinion here is, that the pro-
visional director must succumb, and there are not
wanting those who even predict the return and
restoration of General Roses to the dictatorship. This
is scarcely probable, but it is now becoming a matter
for speculation whether his system of ruling with an
" iron rod" was not the best adapted, after all, to
the half civilised inhabitants of the margins of La
Plata.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Dee. 14.
The ministerial party (u far OA intelligence from
the interior has been rece►ved) hassignally triumphed
in the elections hero. _ _

Official intelligence has been received by the go-
vernment of the discovery of a gold mine of extraor-
dinary richness in the Serra of Botucabaru, between
Iguape and Sorocabe.
Our commercial transactions of the past month
presented no animal feature until the arrival of the
Tay. Exchange ruled at 28d., at 60 and 90 days.
On the 13th, large amounts were passed at 27;
and a, and it closed finally to-day firm at 27k. We
estimate the amount negociated for Tay at 330,0001.,
and upon France at 700,000 fr., at 340 to 343.
From the departure of the Teviot to the 30th of
the past mouth the sales of coffee amounted to
1110,000 bags, being for Europe 20,000, for the States
90,000 ; no variation in price was noted. This
month, up to the arrival of Tay, 36,000 bags
were taken-23,000 for Europe, 13,000 for the
States, with a slight decline in prices.

lIMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
(From the British Packet.)
BUENOS AYRES, Disc 1.

War is the dire fatality of these states, and a temporary
paralysis of business is the consequence. The local demand
for the last month has been languid, and may be expected to
continue so until the uncertainty that envelopes the political
horizon is fairly dissipated. A. small amount continues to
be despatched for Paraguay, and something for Entre Rios,
but with the other interior provinces our intercourse is all
but suspended. Amid all these disadvantages the money
market has been comparatively tranquil, and liabilities are
met in a satisfactory manner. Imports are larger, in fact,
than the immediate prospects of the markets jus-
tify, but the deposit system now in operation may enable
parties to wait for better times. Among exports the supply
of the superior Messes of ox and sow hides is inadequate,
and prices rule higher. Our wool market has opened well
for the growers. More then a fair average and a good eon-
' dition may be expected this year from the River Plate, a
seasonable compensation, we trust, for the deficiencies of
the Australian markets. We have a heavy amount of ship-
ping in port.

PERNAMBUCO, Dee. 20.
Au actibe business has characterised our market since the
departure of the steamer fur England. The very favours.
ble &deices brought by this mail, of the sugar markets in
Europe, have given great &ululation to business in this
article, and prices have advanced considerably ; the daily
supplies are large, notwithstanding which the demand is
even in excess of the receipts, the qualities generally are
superior, and it is estimated that the present crop will not
be less than 70,000 tons, being considerably more thee soy
former yield. A few days since we have received late dates
from the United States, bringing favourable advices of the
cotton crop, and representing it as likely to be very large;
this has caused prices of the article here to undergo a de-
cline of about 6 per cent. The scarcity of suitable tonnage
to load sugar, noticed in our last, still prevails, and freights
have advanced to 525. Gel. per ton in bags to the Channel
and Mediterranean direct. A larger business in exchange
his been transacted this month than has taken place for a lung
period ; it is estimated at 125,0001. almostentirely at 280., and
a: which bills are still obtainable—of this amount govern.
ment took 54,0001., which has tended to keep the rate from
advancing. Imports of many articles have been limited—
in dry goods only about 806 packages have came in, and u
the supplies on the way are limited, we look fur fair priced
being maintained.
