We have received Buenos Ayres papers of the 24th
March, from which we copy the following :
" Printed copies of the declaration of war against the
Government of Buenos Ayres,.by Don Fructuoso Rivera,
although not officially promulgated, arrived in town by the
schooner packet Rosa, on Monday last. The news caused
little or no sensation in Buenos Ayres, it having been long
anticipated."

(Extract.)
The Governor and Captain-General of the Province of
Entre Rios, to its inhabitants.
Entrerianos—The sacred duty of saving the country
from the insults of a tyrant, calls me to the field of battle.
I march with pleasure, and will endure with cheerful re-
signation the fatigues of the campaign, if my efforts crown
your expectations.
Reveira, that ungrateful, unnatural American, has filled
the measure of his atrocious crimes; nvt satisfied with
having lacerated the bosom of his country, introducing
anarchy into it, raising the standard of rebellion, he wishes
likewise to humble and degrade it to the extreme of making
it drag the chains forged by foreign hands, and that the Ar-
gentines should be subjected to the same ignominious fate.
He further adds, the moment approacites.in which this
fated man will be delivered over to justice for his enormous
crimes—that the avenging sword already glitters in the
bands of six thousand Argentines, who have sworn to
conquer or die.
Since the arrival of the news from Peru and Bolivia,
the visits of congratulation from town to his Excellency
the Governor, at his Quinta, were so numerous that six
head of cattle were daily killed, and consumed at his Ex-
cellency's table.
The Liverpool Albion which we have received contains
an important circular from the Bank of the United States,
received by the George Washington, from New York
The issuers of this document, so important to the cotton
trade, did not wish it to be published in the newspapers.
It is too long to give the whole at present. It begins
by stating. You have doubtless received the very un-
favourable advices by the Great Western in rela
tion to the cotton -market. These advices, it is ap-
prehended, do not disclose even to the full extent the
dangerous situation in which our great staple is placed.
Thediminished demand for Yarns and Cotton goods on
the Continent, the short harvest of late years, the shipment
of Bullion from Great Britain, and consequent rise in the
rate of interest of the Bank of England, must all tend to
a greater decline in price, if some steps are not preremp-
torily adopted to prevent the remaining stock of Cotton
now in the country from being offered for immediate sale
in the European Markets : it is quite obvious that but or, e
or two made would be likely to counteract the results that
must otherwise inevitably flow from the causes just indi-
cated.

`• Ti o first would b-3 to o-gan's^, thrcugh the aid
of the Bank of the United States, and the
Banks in the principal emporiums of the different States—
a combination sufficiently powerful to advance a sum on
every bale of cotton on this side of the water, which would
'insure its being kept in the country for three months.
" The other scheme:would be to concentrate in one house
in Liverpool, the whole, or the greater part of the cotton
now to go forward, by an arrangement for affording ade-
quate aiid collateral aid sufficiently powerful to enable the
house in question to hold over until a greater part of the
present stock in England is worked off."

reached 93-} for the Opening, at present 93k. Exche.

-URREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS._MOUnt
Hecht, after long labour, has at last produced something
which we have little doubt will amuse and astonish for
"Me time the numerous frequenters of this interesting
place of amusement. The mountain has been in existence
now for many weeks, and all that was want;ng to complete
the illus:on, so admirably effected by the artificial glaciers,
the snow, and the ice, was the eruption which took place
last evening. The crowd began to assemble at an early
hour, and by nine o'clock the gardens were filled in every
part. Soon after that hour the first signs of eruption be-
came visible. Smoke began to issue from the crater ;
rumbling sounds, like distant thunder, were then heard;
flashes of light succeeded ; and at last came the grand dis-
charge. The whole mountain became transparent and
resembled one enormous mass of fire, and the burninglava
was seen pouring down its sides. The multitude teitited
their admiration by loud and general acclamations. Judg-
ing from the first exhibition, we may very safely say thi
volcano will have a long run.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY. 7'117R LYE O'CLOCK.
At rivals this morning—French m iil, also a mail from
Rio Janeiro, by the Opossum. Sailed on the 24th April,
from Pernambuco, May 16.
By the above packet we have received the Pike Current
from Rio Janeiro, of the 221 April, from which we copy
the following .—" There has been very little activity in
business, generally, since our lest circular of the 22d ult.,
the Exchange having maintained itself pretty steady at
291, became racr float( r to-day, and some business,
though upon a limited scale, was done both at 291- and 29k.
Bills still remain at the latter, and Money at the former
rate; the transactions for this packet have been unusually
small, as compared to what was done in previous months.
" COFFEE.—A further improvement in price of about 200
reals has taken place since our last, with the exception of
the very best superior, which has maintained itself almcst
unaltered at 400 to 500 to 400 to 600 reals. There has
been a steady demand for all descriptions, but more par-
ticular for superior and good, first of these, upwards of
5,000 bags were sold to-day, almost all for the United
States, leaving on hand about 4,000 bags, nearly all ordinary
quality ; no judgment as to the quality of the new crop to
general can be formed with any degree of propriety.
Judging however from the weather which has prevailed
doting the progress of the crop, we have reason to pre-
sume that it will turn out to be a very fair quantity. The
shipments to the United States last month amounted to
19,437 bags, and to the Cape of Good Hope 5 550 bags.
'1 he exports in March were 49,515 bags Coffee against
61.153 in March 1838.
