THE RIVER PLATE.

Extracts of letters received from the River Plate by the
William Peile, arrived at Liverpool.
BUZNOS AYRES, Nov. 30, 184 G.—From the interior all is
quiet.
We are led to believe that General Urquiza is quite fa-
vourable to this Government, and we have no reason to doubt
our information, notwithstanding all sorts of rumours to the
contrary.
Rivera has opened his campaign with a few native fol-
lowers and some French basques. We are of opinion he will
de nothing, although great hopes are entertained to the con-
trary at Monte Video.
Jerked beef and tallow are allowed to be exported from
this, by special permission from the Government-
lli c. B.—Political matters offer nothing new. An active
and strenuous opposition will be made by the Monte Video
circle to prevent any arrangement whilst they are in receipt
of 2,0001. per day from the Custom House.
Exchange-745. per doubloon; doubloons, 320 dolls.
Mows; VIDEO, Dec. 15.—1 n politics nothing worth re-
peating. Affairs in Entre Rios continued about the same.
Exchange.-45d. to 450.
(From the British Packet, Buenos Ayres paper, of Dec. 5.)
Messrs. Graham and G. L. Brent arrived in town on
Monday last from Paraguay, with dispatches for the United
States legation. It is understood that Signior Lopez had
not only issued a decree, as was before stated, suspending
hostilities against the confederation, but actuslly disbanded
his army. For the rest, the Paraguay ruler appears to be
as infatuated as ever with the idea of dissevering that pro-
vince from the national union; and there is but too much
reason to apprehend that his eyes will not be opened to
the folly of such a pretension until he shall have shaken off
the ominous influence of Brazilian diplomacy. That Signior
Lopez should remain for any great length of time under
his present delusion we deem quite improbable ; and we look
forward with confidence to the period of pacification and re-
newal of commercial intercourse as the commencement of an
era fruitful of results demonstrative of the immense benefits
to be derived from preserving the national union unimpaired,
and equally conclusive as to the selfish motives by which
the Imperial Cabinet is actuated in encouraging a separation
by which Paraguay would be the only loser, and Brazil the
sole gainer.
Although the mission of Messrs. Graham and Brent has
failed to attain the main object for which it was undertaken,
it will, nevertheless, be productive of one very useful result
in contributing to correct the erroneous impressions so pre-
valent abroad with respect to everything connected with
Paraguay, and thus leading to a just appreciation of the na-
ture of the question at issue.
