THE RIVER PLATE.

ni the United States, accounts have been received
from the Argentine republic, announcing that a remonstrance
has been addressed bg the cabinet of itcsas to the Austrian
empire against its recognition of the independence of Para-
guay. The tollowing note, dated the 19th of October, was
appended by the Arzentine government to its first remon-
strance, which had bccn unanswered by the Austrian
government :
. . .

" Since the government a.ldressed to that of your excel •
lency its previous remonstrance, tho seditious and unjust
proceedings of the governor of the Argentine province of
Paraguay have been aggravated by the scandal of having
rejected every pacific attitude and friendly negotiation which
the Argentine government has all along proffered to him,
merely opposing the unlawful segregation of that member of
the Argentine family.
"The governor of Paraguay has raised an unjustifiable
armament to aggravate rebellion; he has insulted in the
riv.rs the Argentina if itg ; he has seized the important
island of Apipe, in the centre of the river Parana; and,
without any previous manifesto of war, or explanation of any
kind, he has invaded the adjoinhig Argentine province of
Corrientes, rallying round the standard of Paragnaj an re-
bellion all tumultuary and revolutionary characters, in
outer to set the Argentine Confederation in a vast blaze of
anarchy. None of the territories invaded and surreptitiously
taken possession of by the Uovernor of Paraguay belongs
to, nor has ever belonged to that province, but to the two
provinces of the Argentine Confederation—Corrientes and
Nisiones.

" In such a state of things, the Argentine government, I
bat ked by the ardent decision of the people, is oreparitiu a
land and naval armament, in order to put down that ini-
quitous rebellion, and ears the Argentite state trout the
ruin with which it is threatened by turbulent men, who seik
to repeat in this part of America the same scandals with
which the revolutionists of Europe are now afficting that
hemisphere, it being their a kit to substitute, in the place of
the eternal principles of justioe and order, doctrines at once
seditious and subversive of everything lawtully established,
and to rahe up the most disorderly demagogues in the seats
of reapensible governments, established by law and the publie
voice.

- -''-ii.is excellency the governor cannot but hope, with
great reliance on the rectitude and wisdom 01 ii.l. and
It A.M., that, ou being made acquainted with the cue, its
character and its bearing on the conservative principles o
nations, which his Majeaty, without sinning blood or trea-
sure, is now invoking in Europe against the dissolution of
his states, by segregations of its constituent members,
the Argentine government will, on the part of his Ma-
jesty, meets with that justice which it claims on behalf
of the Confederation. It is further persuaded of the favour-
able reception its reclamation will base in the high
councils of the Austrian government, when his Majesty
shall be pleased to take into consideration that the governor
of the province A Paraguay not only attempts to de-
tach it seditiously and unlawfully limn the Argentine
nation, to which it belongs, by violating the fundamental
treaties and organic statutes of this nationality, hut that be
has a•lopted the ilisaolviug and revolutionary system which
now distracts the civilised world; thus rendering himself
1 unworthy, in every respect, of any regard from governments
which, from their position and principles of order and
. peace, occupy a distinguished place among the nations of
