DEPOSITION OF ROSAS.
' SOUTHAMPTON, MARCH 13.
The Royal Mail steam-ship. Teviot, . Captain R.
Revett, arrived here at 2, p.m., day, bringing ake
usual Brazil and Rio de la Plata mails, in charge of
Lieut. O'Reilly, R.N., Admiralty agent.
The Teviot has experienced light head-winds; with
fair, weather,. during the voyage, home. She landed
61 passengers at Lisbon, and has brought -56 to
Southampton, among whom are Colonel Steel and
Captain M‘lienzie, from Buenos Ayres; Captain
Trelawny, from Madeira, &c. The freight list corn-
prises specie and bullion from Rio Janeiro, value
20,736/. sterling; diamonds, value 5,3001. ; 50 barrels
of tapioca, 115 barrels of arrowroot, 5 bales of cochi-
neal, and 61 packages of sundries.
The latest dates brought by this steamer are as
follows :—Buenos Ayres, Feb. 3 ; Monte Video, Feb.
5 , Rio Janeiro, Feb. 14 ; Bahia, Feb. 18 ; Pernam-
buco, Feb. 21 • St. Vincent's (Cape Verde), March
'
1 ; Teneritfe March 5 ; Funchal (Madeira), March 6;
and Lisbon, March 9.
The Teviot is the bearer of important advices from
the River Plate announcing the complete over-
throw of the power of General Roses, the Dictator
of Buenos Ayres. On the morning of the 3d of
February a severe and decisive action was fought
between Merlo and the Passo del Rey by the forces
of Rosas and the allied Brazilian and Oriental
armies, under the command of General Urquiza;
the battle terminated in the defeat of the Buenos
4.meu troops. It is said 4,000 men were killed
and Wounded in- this engagement, 'and that the ROI--
stein cavalry, in the Brazilian service, literally rode
over the much-vaunted cavalry of the Dictator of
the Argentine Republic, who was present during the
action, and received a wound in the hand. General
Pacheco commanded the Buenos Ayrean army, and
is reported to have been slain. During. the night
of the 3d General Urquiza slept at the country resi-
dence of General Roses, at Palermo, and took up his
head-quarters there, previous to marching upon
Buenos Ayres. Roses, with his daughter Manuelita,
and several of his suite, escaped on board her Ma-
jesty's ship Locust. He was disguised as a marine,
and his daughter as a sailor boy; they were after-
wards transferred to her Majesty's ship Centaur, at
Buenos Ayres. That city was commanded by General
Mancilla, who offered to capitulate. The diplomatic
agents of the various foreign powers had gone to ar-
range matters amicably, if possible. Urquiza's army
commenced the passage of the river Parana on the
22d of December, and completed it on the Bth of
January. The army comprised 28,000 men, 5,000
horses, and 40 pieces of artillery, with the necessary
baggage. Mr. Payne, master of her Majesty's ship
Locust, who rode out to see the Sght, was met by
some Gauchos retreating, who demanded his horse,
but on his refusing to give it up, they took it from
him, and wounded him so severely that he died in
consequence.
The following are extracts from the Commercio de
la Plata, Monte Video, of February 4 :
" The Manuelita Roses steamer arrived here at nine
o'clock this morning, having left Buenos Ayres at the
same hour the preceding evening. By her we have re-
ceived news of a battle having been fought between Ur-
quiza, and Rosas, and of the latter being completely
routed. About 4,000 men have been killed, and it is
believed Roses is among the number. It appears that
Mancilla had addressed the foreign agents, informing
them that he had no intention of making any resistance
in the city, but that, far from it, he would deliver it up
to the conqueror. In virtue of this assurance the agents
appointed a commission to • hold an interview with
General Urquiza, to solicit from him a suspension of
hostilities, while his pacific entrance into the city was
being arranged. In a letter dated the 3d we have read
the following:_
" 2 P.m.—The defeat has been declared. At ten
o'clock dispersed soldiery began to arrive. A large
number have come in, most of them wounded. The
housetops are fortified by the militia. The square is
also occupied by them and deserters. A correct detail
of the affair cannot be obtained. The Brazilian steamers
have arrived in the inner roads.
" The battle commenced at six in the morning, and
was decided at ten. The first engagement took place a
league and a-half beyond Santos Lugaves. Rosas's
cavalry received the charge, and was completely routed.
The remaining cavalry moved off towards the infantry
and artillery, and General Urquiza's army marching
towards them, menaced the whole of Rosas's forces. At
twelve the post runners arrived, announcing that the
whole of the cavalry had been defeated, but that the in-
fantry and artillery still kept their ground about half a
league from Santos Lugaves' towards Movoa. At foar
P.M. the commanders of the different vessels of 'war be-
longing to various nations asked permission of General
Manilla to land marines: to protect their subjects,
seeing the extreme confusion that reigned throughout
the city. Mancilla replied that he would give an
answer at six o'clock; but at half-past four he sent an
officer on board the different vessels to. inform them
they were at liberty to land and take whatever
measures they chose. At the same time he addressed
the agents of England, France, the United States,
and Portugal, beseeching them to solicit the vic-
torious general to suspend . hostilities. The above-
mentioned agents left the city for Urquiza's camp at 5.30
P.M. At the last moment it was known that Rosas's in-
fantry and artillery had surrendered to Urquiza's forties,'
who had completely surrounded .them.. It was believed
that Roses might have been killed or taken prisoner, as
he was among the troops. Mr. Robert C. Sherrer, the
United States Minister Plenipotentiary to 'the Brazils,
has arrived in the Manuelita. Admiral Grenfell dis-
patched a steamer to Colonic an hour before the Manue-
lita sailed."
•
Rio and Bahia were both healthy. At the latter
place, however, two cases of yellow fever had' oc-
curred on board a Datch vessel. The ' province of
Bahia was suffering from excessive rains, which had
most materially affected the crops, : causing a very
great falling off.
At Pernambuco the yellow fever was committing
great ravages among the merchant-ships in harbour;
there hid also been some fatal cases in the city. On
board some of the vessels nearly all the hands had
been attacked and taken to the hospital, which was
under the immediate care of Mr. Cowper, the British
Consul, whose attentions to the sick seamen were most
praiseworthy.
The Royal mail steamer Prince left Rio on the
lath of February, with the usual mails and upwards
of fifty passengers for the River Plate. The Tay,
with the outward mails of the 9th of February;
sailed from St. Vincent's for Pernambuco on the 24th
ult. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's A*
Iberia left Lisbon for Southampton at 9 A.M. on the
9th instant, touching at Oporto and Vigo. The
steamer Clarence, from Liverpool, bound to Sydney,
arrived'at St. Vincent's on the 29th ult.
I4er.lllajesty's ships Centaur, Conitiot,,,and Locust
were at Monte Video. The Plumper, Harpy, and
Creacent, and French ship-of-war Galatea, Arte-
mise,'Moselle, and Phoque, at Rio Janeiro, with the
Brazilian squadron, consisting of the Constitugao,
Imperial Marinheiro, Uniao, Berliozs, and Euterpe.
At Bahia, her Majesty's ship Rifleman, the French
frigate La Seriense, and the brig L'Allouette. At
Madeira, the French war-steamer Espadon, to sail
on the 7th of March for L'Orient. At Lisbon; her
Majesty's ship Dragon.
The Comercio del Plata announces the downfall-of
Roses in the following terms :
"Vive la Petrie! the tyrant has fallen. With the
most heartfelt joy do we thus announce the termination
of the war in the Argentine 'Republic. The dictator
was thost completely routed, after a great battle near
Santos Lugares. Roses himself has disappeared
with flip t
his power, the only germ of he_e and

have afflicted us for twenty years.

battle nearly in the same terms as in the foregoing.

COMMERCIA BUENOS AYRES, FEB. 2.
(From the British Packet.)
Judging from the recent arrivals, and the long list of
vessels in port. it may naturally be supposed that our
general market must be greatly overstocked; but these
criteria in the present case are fallacious, for a consider-
able number of the latter arrivals have been in ballast
from Montevideo, Rio Grande, and even Rio Janeiro,
while others have only brought salt, coals, lumber, and
other cargoes of little intrinsic value.
In manufactured goods, with a superabundance of cer-
tain articles, there is yet a decided want of general as-
sortments both in the wholesale and retail stores. The

local demand is considerable, though, for the reasons
already stated, less than a fair average. Communica-

L EXPORTS. _
The Panguor in the export market arises frcm a va-
riety of causes. The operations of the saladeros have
been so .far-deranged, that some of the articles most in
demand,. as heavy hides for the continent and the Medi-
terranean, are not to be had in sufficient quantities; and
while there are considerable stocks on hand of the
lower weights, the demand for them has been limited,
chiefly owing to. the late monetary crisis in •the United
States, that has kept aloof our best customer in that de-
partment. The course of exchange and the rate of
freights, till lately, aggravated ' the evil; the latter of
which ha disappeared, and the former is fast tending to
its naturaLequilibrium. Of wool, owing to the difficulty
of adjusting prices, a great proportion of the precept clip
remains in deposit, but will now doubtless be forwarded
either by the growers or speculators; at least the cur-
rent and. probable rate of freights offers no obstacle.
For the moment there is no prospect of the saladeros
being able to continue their operations on ,the usual
scale.

"No money or shares wherever have been paid or
delivered to Colonel Fremont for his leases to this com-
pany, but about 5,000/. has been advanced to persons

THE

BATH ELECTION AND MR. COPPOCK.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS.
Sir,—As one who took an kite part in the Bath
Reform movement in 1830, and the actions of 1832 and
011841tion1 wofishlBt4ols:Late the following facts relative to the
Lord Powerscourt and Mr. Bruges were elected, after
a severe contest, and amidst the greatest intimidation,
corruption, and debauchery ever seen in Bath; in fact,
the Liberal party conceived that, after such a contest,
the constituency would hardly recover its former inde-
pendence and power to return two such men as General
Palmer and Mr. Roebuck.
In 1841, Mr. Roebuck was again made the choice
of as a candidate, and to secure his election over-
tures were made to the Whig party to procure a
Whig candidate, and to form a coalition committee.
The Whigs in Bath are not numerous, the Tories and
Liberals can poll four to one of their voters, yet, small
as their number is, and the constituency so evenly
balanced, ono to two hundred Whigs might seriously
affect the return of a member more liberal than them-
selves, or might let a Tory in—as was the case in the
next election, in 1847, when the Whigs deserted Mr.

to come, not that he himself had much interest in the
place, for at that time he had little, but he made a very
good candidate—money was, as usual, subscribed. Mr.
Coppock was the medium employed to transmit some
private funds, not Government funds, nor Mr. Coppock's
own fonds, towards Mr. Roebuck's return. Lord Dun-
can procured on his part the necessary funds,
and the two Members contested Bath with
a joint fund and joint committee, and were
both triumphantly returned. The Whigs then
said they returned Mr. Roebuck, whereas, had the Libe-
rals not split their votes, Lord Duncan might have lost
his election, especially if they could have discovered, as
was seen after the contest, that the Whigs on that day
deserted Mr. Roebuck—l say deserted—as it was a
coalition committee, openly declared, bat not acted upon
to the letter—by those who said what great things they
had done; for they had returned Mr. Roebuck, whereas
in the published poll-book we found very few who ever
voted at all for Mr. Roebuck; and some time after,
moneys even subscribed for Mr. Roebuck's election ex-
penses' were found to have passed into the pocket of one
of the Whig committee men, which we wished to see re-
turned to those kind and noble friends who supplied us,
to fight " freedom's battle," and to secure an able,
honest, and upright man to represent the Fair City of
the West.
