OFFICIAL.

Communications have been received from the Govern-
ments of Salta and Tucuman, authorising that of Buenos
Ayres to name the Commissioners on the part of the
Republic, who, according to the treaty with Brazil, are to
revise the Constitution of the Oriental State.

JANUARY' 30.—Front Cordova papers to the 15th
inst., it seems that the peasantry are in arms against the
Government of General Paez. We find numerous details
of rencontres, in which the General's troops are stated to
have invariably the advantage, though they have had to
fight against three, or even five to one.
Accounts from Patagonia state that very serious appre-
hensions were felt of an attack from the Indians, who had
appeared in great force.
FEB. s.—The Lucero of this data says that a report
has been spread, it knows not on what authority, that the
Indians have made au incursion into the northern part of
the Republic, which, in consequence of late events, is the
most rebellious pare of our frontier. The division of
Colonel Pacheco, specially charged with the defence of the
northern province, has taken a favourable position to op-
pose all hostile attempts, and we have no doubt that the
Tudasures adopted by the Government will shortly dispel
all their fears.

Brussels Papers of the 21st instant contain
some alight account of the form of trial of
Messrs. POTTER. The proceedings took place
With closed doors, a fact not very creditable
to the freedom of the Press in the Netherlands,
nor to the liberality of the Government :

BRUSSELS, APRIL 16.
TRIAL OF MESSRS. POTTER, &c.

The proceedings (with dosed doors) commenced at nine
o'clock. We understar,i that the indictment and the com-
mitment were first rend, and that immediately after the
President proceeded to interrogate two or three of the ac-
cused, and that this occupied the whole time the Court
sat, which was till two.
Aram 17.--The proceedings (still with closed doors)
began at nine o'clock. The President continued to inter-
rogate the accused, and then to hear 15 or 16 witnesses in
their favour.

Immediately after this the Counsel of the accused
desired that their clients might be allowed to communi-
cate together in presence of their Counsel, in order to
concert together the means of their defence. The Pre-
sident acceded to this request, and the Court broke up
at noon.

APRIL 19.—The Court was opened at nine o'clock.—
Mr. Spruyt, the Attorney-General, addressed the Court for
the prosecution. ( The Gazette gives a part of his
speech, which fills six folio 'columns.) On the read-
ing of the correspondence of Messrs. Potter and Tirlemans,
and which has been seized, the Counsel of M. de Potter
objected to its being produced as evidence. This objection
led to considerable discussion, and the Court retired to
deliberate on it. After being absent an hour the Judges
returned, and the President declared that the objection of
the accused was overruled. In consequence of this inter-
ruption, M. de Spruyt was not able to finish his speech
in this sitting.

SMYRNA, FRB. 26.
The Courrier de Smyrne, after proposing a new mode
of levying the taxes advantageous to the Turkish Govern-
ment, and by no means onerous to the subject, adds—
" All the partial insurrections which have lately
occurred in Asia Minor have been misunderstood in
Europe. The nation has never risen either against
the Sultan or against the fundamental institutions,
but only against the abuses committed by subaltern
officers. If these abuses are remedied, concord will soon
he restored. The bond of union between the Turkish
people and the Sovereign is very strong, and to make it
still stronger, nothing is wanting but to regulate the bur-
dens which the inhabitants are to bear to protect them
from extortion. This reform will be supported by the great
men who feel its necessity."

The following letter has been received from the
agent to the North and South American Coffee-
house, dated Buenos Ayres, Feb. 5

" Our political situation has not materially changed
since my last, although I sometimes think that the pros-
pect looks less cheering. It is true no actual disturbance
has taken place, and perhaps will not; but the bitter re-

tilings of the two parties is really disheartening to those
who have the interest oftthe country at heart. You can-
not conceive the extent to which it is carried, neither will
I disgust you by details of it. Nothing but misfortune,
even more severe than they have hitherto experienced, will
tame this violence of party spirit ; indeed, we dwell upon
a perfect volcano. Our bank paper continues depreciated ;
doubloons are 110 dollars. Exchange upon England,
7P. per dollar. A few steps more, and our paper is
worth nothing, and another revolution will go far to effect
this. The provinces continue in a disturbed state,
the Unitarians combating with those of the Federals.
Cordova takes = the lead in the former system,
and *its Governor General Paz and his army is in the
field • but his opponent Quiroga will, doubtless, avoid a.
pitched battle; in the mean time the country districts of
the Cerdova province have risen against their Gover-
nor, and have begun a Montenera war, in which
several severe skirmishes have taken place. The Unita-
rians expect much from the exertions of Paz : his army,
consisting of about 5,000 men, is at present supported by
taxes and contribution upon the inhabitants ; but this,
cannot last long—something decisive must soon take place.
An event has occurred here which engrosses a great deal
of the public attention. An officer, of the name of Mon-
teros, was shot a few days since at the Recoleta Barrack by
order of the Governor (Rosas) ; it is said that he deserved
his fate, but the mode of execution has created much
surprise. Rosas had sent for him, and ordered one
of his aid-de-camps to escort him under arrest to
the barracks, and at the same time gave to Monteros a
paper, or despatch, to the commanding officer there, which,
in fact, contained an order for his execution, but of which
he was totally unconscious. Arrived at the Recoleta,
Monteros delivered the despatch to the officer in command
(Colonel Prudencia Rosas), a brother of the Governor.
He was seized, and it was notified to him that he must
prepare for immediate execution, for which, in fact, pre-
parations had been made, and he was accordingly shot.
The government of Roses had been conspicuous for mo-
deration, and many of his friends regretted the above
event. It has been defended upon the critical state of the
country ; that delay was full of peril ; that'had the cri-
minal been brought to trial, accomplices must have been
named; and other disclaim-rag fatal to the interests of the
country; that the Governor had been invested by the
Legislature with extraordinary powers, which he had in
this ease used against a rebel who was intriguing with the
friendly Indians to make war upon Buenos Ayres ; that he
was plotting with all the discontented to overthrow the Go -
vetnment, and plunge the country again into anarchy ;
that the proofs against him were positive, and that the
most prudent method the Governor could take was to
order his immediate execution.

" You may be assured that the Unitarian party has
not neglected to seize upon this event, in connection with
the summary execution of Dorrego by Lavelle. It is be-
lieved that the Ministers were not acquainted with the
determination of Rotas to execute Monteros ; the latter
was in part an Indian, having passed most of his life
amongst them.

" It is reported from Chili that the army of General
Pintos, the President of the Republic, has had several
actions near Santiago, the capital of Chili, in December last,
with the army of his opponent, General Prieto, without
any decisive results.
" You will see, by the above hasty sketch, the state of
this unfortunate country."
VESSELS ♦RRIVED SINCE JAN. 14.—Ship Larch, from

cardo, from Cadiz ; Sir William Wallace, from Bona-
vista. Intelligence has just arrived of the loss of the
