We are assured, upon the strength of private let-
ters, that a change of government has taken place at
Buenos Ayres, two of the members of the cabinet
who were considered the most identified with a war-
like policy having given place to others of more
moderate views. One of them is stated to be per-
sonally popular with Urquisa. The object of the
change is apparently to pave the way
i to some ar-
rangement with that chieftain. This intelligence is
calculated to increase the interest with which the
next mail is looked for.

Wean given to understand that ample funds have
been provided to meet the dividend due in January
en Buenos Ayres Bonds.
