BUENOS AYRES, JULY 6.
[From the Ar4;:ts.J

CHA3II3ER OF THE REPRESENTATIVES OF THE

NA T I ON.
In the sitting of the 4th ill. Agucro introduced the following
Projet of Communication:—
By a message of the 9th of May the Government of Buenos
Ayres, provisionally charged with the Executive Power, informed
the Congress that war had unexpectedly broken out in the Banda
Oriental of the Rio de la Plata; and this gave rise to the law of
the 11th of the same month, by which, as a precaution against the
events that might ensue, it was ordered that the line of the Uruguay
should be sufficiently reinforced, to which effect the same law pre.
scribeet the measures that were considered proper in our present
situation. Subsequently, the Congress has been informed, though
not officially, that the excellent General, the deliverer of Peru,
Antonio Sucre, has notifiod to the Executive Power that the troops
of the Emperor of Brazil have invaded and occupied the Province
of Chiquitoa, in Upper Peru; and lastly, it has heard the report,
which begins to bespread, of insults offered to our national flag by
the naval forces of the Empire.
These facts, as they have excited agitation in the mind of the
public, cannot fail to affect also arid to 2113T111 the representatives of
the nation. They could not but immediately perceive the conse-
quences which such events might produce against the Pecitrity, the
defence, and the integrity of the territory of the State. The
Chamber has felt the vast responsibility which lies upon the Re.
pretentatives, in whose hands the Provinces of the Union have
placed their future destiny ; it feels also the delicacy of its position,
and the necessity of p. oceeding with indefatigable activity, and
with a prudent foresight of the cycnts which may arise front those
which are now just beginning to develope themselves.
Induced by these just considerations, the Congress has agreed
that the Executive Power shall inform it, without losing a mo.
ment, not only respecting the existence and reality of these facts,
but alto of the measures which it may have adopted in conic-
quence.
Above all, it desires to be particularly informed respecting the
circumstances of this war, which, without the knowledge of the
Supreme Authority, has been kindled in the Oriental Province.
And as the law of the II th 31ay was dictated in prospect of the
results which it might produce in the other porinces, it has agreed
that the Executive Power *hall especially acquaint it with what
bag been done to give to that law its due effect—of the difficulties
which may have prevented the line of the Uruguay front being
strengthened, so as to inspire our enemies with respect, mid cur
people with conlidence—and that, lastly, it 'hall propose the
measures which it shall judge necessary to remove those obstacles
which, if they are not overcon e, endanger the fate of the State;
with the understanding that the Congress is rescdvesi to make
all the efforts in its power, and to require from the people the
greatest sacrifices, to maintain the national honour and dignity.
Which, by the order of the General Congress, is communi-
cated to the Government of Buenos Ayres, as charged with the
National Executive Power, for its speedy and punctual ICCODI-
, plishment. JULIAN SEGUNDO DE AnuEno.

In the sitting of the Chamber of Representatives, on the'
11th inst. it Note from the Government was read, to the effect
that the Government of the Province of Buenos Ayres, which had
been provisionally charged with the functions of the Executive Go-
vernment, requests to be relieved from their functions, because the
security of the Province, the regulation of its internal affairs, and
the promotion of i's prosperity, which will render it capable of
doing greater service to the national caner, require the whole attel.
tion of its Government. It therefore requests the Congress to ap-
point an Executive Power, which may devote its attention exclu.
steely to the afftirs of the nation.
The Note is signed Juan Gregorio de las Fiera, and Manuel
Jose Garcia.
The Congress, in an extraordinary sitting on the 11th, took the
Note into consideration, and referred it to a Committee of five
Members. 'l4e Representatives were summoned for the evening,
Melte hope that the Committee would have its Report ready. The
agitation, and impatience of the public were very great, and the
Hill of the Congress was crowded by the hour appointed. The
Committee was of opinion that the request of the Government of
Buenos Ayres to resign the Executive Power should not be ad-
mitted, and proposed to the Congress a project of a decree to that
effect, and expressing the wish of that body that the Government
should continue in the same satisfactory manner as hitherto, to
manage the affiiirs of the nation in general.
General Don Marcos Balcarce is appointed 91inIster of War and
the Marine, in the mom of General Santa Cruz.
The Argus of July 16 contains a long correspondence between
the Brazilian Admiral Lobo and Senor Garcia, Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs. The Admiral in his first Note states, that numer.

Senor Garcia answers to this, that his Government does not judge

ing caused the insurrection of the Banda Oriental, and !olds, that,
as the state of that country cannot be indifferent to the Republic of
Buena Ayres, the National Government had resolved, from the
moment of Its installation, to send an especial mission to Rio de
Janeiro, in order finally to determine the relations of the Republic
with the Court of Brazil ; this step will be accelerated by the seri-
ous considerations arising frein late events.

A body of 400 Indian savages having made an incursion into the
territory of Buenos Ayres, were driven out with loss.
Notice has been received that a body of 314.1Brazllisn troops hav-
ing passed the Rio Negro to reconnoitre, advanced to El Penlido,
where it was 'melted by an equal number of troop" of the Bands
Oriental, and completely dispersed, so that some days after the
action only 27 men rejoined the main body. On the other side,
only a few were killed and wounded; among the former was
Mitchum the Comtnander.
General Id. Jose Aranjo y commanding the Brazilian
troops at Chiquitos, having written an insolent note to General
Sucre, stating that he had united that province with the Empire of
Brazil, General Sucre replied, that Chiquitos belonged to Peru_
that the Government desired peace, but (lid not fear war—and that
unless the Brazilians immediately quitted the province of Chitral-
tea, he would instantly march against him, and that the Peruvian
troops, " not content with delivering their own frontiers, will be
ordered to enter the territory of the Power that has shown itself an
